8.8 With its elegant design, fantastic camera, and smooth performance, Huawei checks all the right boxes with the P8, a device that can go toe to toe with the current crop of flagship smartphones....
Premium metal design, Excellent still image quality, Cool low light capture modes, Lower outright cost than most other flagship phones, Expandable storage
EMUI 3.1 experience isn't for power users, Knuckle gestures are a bit obnoxious, Underpowered performance with graphics processing, Dull looking 1080p video recording quality
Success has been something that Huawei can proclaim of late, especially if we're to look back a few years ago when the company had that reputation of making cheapo phones. Lately, though, they've been aggressive in reaching that status of being a premium ...

The Huawei P8 lacks some of the shine of its flagship phone rivals, but it still delivers an uncompromising mix of features and performance for a far cheaper price....
Strong camera, Attractive design, Decent battery life
Software 'funnies', No Quad HD screen
Huawei's P8 is impressive in so many ways. The camera is one of the best around, almost hitting the dizzy heights of Samsung's Galaxy S6 snapper, while the sleek design and decent battery life are also highlights. However, the myriad of software issues an...

Compact, great looking design that feels great to hold, Camera gives a few surprises, Surprising battery life, 12 Month Screen Guarantee
Issues with Notifications and Android Wear are a major downfall, EMUI Software still isn't great, P8 eInk case announced won't be released outside China, Slow at times
I have a soft spot for Huawei, the first phone launch I ever attended was from an invite to the launch of the Huawei Vision – also the first phone I reviewed. I still own a Huawei Vision (and several others) and over the years, it's been a lesson in how a...

Sleek thin design, metal body, great camera
Could be cheaper, battery could be better
The Huawei P8 is an impressive smartphone that offers the design and build quality of the top shelf brands but it is only slightly cheaper at $699. The Huawei P8 represents good value at its present price point but would have been far more attractive and...
Excellent aluminium unibody design, 5.2-inch, 1080p screen with one year replacement warranty, Competitive pricing, Competent hardware, 8MP front camera, 13MP RGBW primary camera, Good battery life
Primary camera can be soft on colours, Less powerful processor than flagship rivals

Well made, premium quality, good specifications for a mid-range smartphone with many features verging on flagship status.Would I buy it? After the epiphany that you don't need to spend $1000+ to get a flagship (See iTWire article, ‘The end of the $1000 sm...
Cheaper than flagship competitors, High screen-to-body ratio, thin bezels, Surprisingly good battery life
No fast charge or wireless charging, EmotionUI skin significantly alters Android, Average GPU performance
The $699 Huawei P8 competes with top-of-the-line competitors from much more popular brands, but does so in a roundabout way. It uses a Huawei-built chipset, has two individual 4G-friendly SIM slots, has that typically-Huawei high screen to body ratio, and...
Comfortable to hold; Well built; Fairly fast; Free screen repair (for one time) if you break the phone's display;
Storage amount could be larger; Mediocre battery (standard for a flagship, though); No 802.11ac despite the phone being flagship; Huawei's take on Android may not be ideal for all; Included screen replacement cost feels like a bit of a useless feature if
There's no doubting that the P8 is a good phone, but it is also yet another iClone, and this brings up a curious question: when did all the iClones come out of the woodwork?We're beginning to long for the days when phone makers were so afraid of being sue...
