Huawei Mate 8 review: Time-saver edition

10 March, 2016
The Huawei Mate 8 is the latest phablet by the Chinese phone manufacturer. It's a premium device all around and it surely doesn't come cheap. But for the price you pay for it, you are certainly treated to an excellent user experience and some of the best specs in the industry.

    Juz bought it on its 1st day of release in Singapore. Sweet and smooth. No lag yet despite installing all my favourite apps(abt 30) and running tons of program all at once. I think the camera works pretty great and more than what I expected. Unplugged from charger at 7am and battery life is now at 34%. After 12hrs+. Lots of gaming time. Abt 3hrs at least. Watch youtube videos and facebook n internet trolling for 2hrs. Make some calls, messagings and online shopping for another 2hr. Gps and bluetooth is turn on all the time. Oh starhub bundled a free Huawei Band BO which cost S$108 @ Lazada. My old Samsung Note 3 would be flat by 3pm latest. Its really a fantastic phone. No regrets.

      Wow, 99% of phones have 6 inch screen?

        The SCORES at the end of each subject should be BOLD and BIG to match the RED colors.

            i think this is a great format.
            and spot on to your target readers (have less time, not to fond of something too technical, only have limited knowledge of it)
            great thing really imho.

            one additional suggestion is, multi language support? you can start by top 10 or top 5 country who opened gsm arena frequently :)

            cheers :)

                i have this phoe for one month and i assure you they gave correct stars. The display looks great, I know it's "only" 1080p but the user experience is great. Yea the ratings are correct, including camera. However I dont use camera for video, only for some quick photos and they look great, but not as good as my former lg g4.

                Performance? Great! They have great ram management, you can control which app runs when you turn off the display and many other tricks :D

                Battery life? AMAZING

                  Display, software and performance scores look far too high. Are these relative to the phone category (6" phones)? That would explain the scores. If scores are not relative, then I think somebody added 1 or 2 bonus stars there.
