Poll results: Huawei Mate 8 bathes in fan love

George, 07 February, 2016

The Mate 8 has been enjoying very warm welcome, even helping Huawei win our Best of CES poll. Now on its own it's doing equally well, securing a formidable 78% of upvotes in the latest iteration of our Hot or not poll.

The result beats the LG V10's 76% from a few months ago, but doesn't quite make it to the nearly unanimous approval of the Lumia 950 XL, at 88%.

Judging by the comments, if there's something that made readers hit the thumbs-down side of the poll, was the camera, and that coincides with our own findings. Others focused their complaints on the GPU, and price was often mentioned as a drawback as well.

For all its shortcomings though, the Mate 8 excels in plenty of other areas, and the numbers indicate that the pros more than make up for the cons.

Lol the 22% are either Rotten Apple or Samsucks fans.

Please read specifications more careful. It has midrange T880MP4, not top-range T880MP12.
