The editors didn't like
Emotion UI still hit and miss
Force Touch availability unclear
Interface is childish
Elusive 128GB model
Underwhelming price-to-performance ratio
Emotion UI 3.1 actively makes Android worse
Fallible build quality
It's too expensive
Huawei's custom Android is messy to use and the pressure-sensitive display is a pointless addition that adds nothing to the overall experience
Pressure sensitivity is very limited
Expensive
Battery life not great
No app drawer
Emotion UI
Force Touch not available on all models
A little heavy-handed with Android in the UX which leads to some odd looking results
Overall, I really enjoyed using the Huawei Mate S. Having recently reviewed the HTC 10 and being impressed with that as a flagship phone, this phone sitting in that strange land between mid-range and flagship is equal, if not marginally superior, to its T...

Abstract: One of the trends we find when we review a device from Huawei is that we love the design, but feel a little let down by the custom UI, Emotion. At first we were worried that the trend would continue when we saw the gorgeous Mate S. It borrows elements fro...

Should you invest? Probably not The Huawei Mate S Premium is out to show off what the future of phones will be all about. Ok, and it was also a way to one-up Apple as the first pressure sensitive phone, even if we're only getting to look at this tech six...

On paper, and in the flesh, the Huawei Mate S looks like a real contender in the flagship smartphone stakes. It's a fabulous phone to handle and use from a physical perspective, and it's packed with all the features you could possibly want, plus a few ext...

Ultimately, though, the Huawei Mate S just doesn't do quite enough to stand out from the rest of its £400 competition. It's beautifully made and has decent performance and battery life, but it's trumped in almost every way by the Samsung Galaxy S6, which...

Though Huawei's flagship Mate S has classy looks and a great camera, you can find better-performing top-end phones for less money elsewhere...
Based on our month with the Huawei Mate S, it's a very promising phone. Its design is beautiful, it's lightweight and it fits perfectly in our hands despite the 5.5in display. The custom Android UI takes some getting used to, but it offers something diffe...
On the whole, I really like what Huawei have done with the Mate S. It is a beutifully made device, and it gives me hope as to how good the Nexus 6P will be when it drops into our laps. If you are looking for a high-end phone for a fairly reasonable price...
Abstract: High-end phones are all about feel. You can cram in all the up-to-the-second processors, storage and RAM you like: if a flagship phone doesn't feel the business, it's not the business.Huawei, which brought out its high-end Mate S at the massive IFA consum...
