Not available in U.S
Huawei's EMUI skin a turnoff for many
Poweruse nags are annoying
Disappointing speaker quality
EMUI still breaks Google notifications
Camera is sub-par for the price
EmotionUI can really get in the way at times
Memory management is terrible by default
Too many apps close as soon as the screen goes off
Battery life may be amazing but it's because of the overly aggressive background-a

Abstract: A super-sized smartphoneWhen the iPhone was launched in 2007, it changed mobiles forever. Previously, a phone was mostly buttons. Now it was mostly screen. In fact, so much of it was screen that there was no obvious reason for the other bits. Surely i...

The Mate 8 is an unassuming phablet design with a gorgeous screen, and excellent performance in everyday tasks. I didn't really talk about the UI over Android 6.0, and that's becuase I found it unobtrusive. I was never bothered by it, and other than a few...

Abstract: Huawei has been trying to break into the U.S. market for years, and with some help from Google, the company got its foot in the door last fall with the Nexus 6P. We're huge fans of that smartphone, but how do Huawei's own phone hold up? After spending som...
Fantastic CPU performance, runs cool, premium build, responsive fingerprint sensor, dualband WiFi, unbeatable battery life for a premium phone

My main complaint about the Huawei Mate S was that its performance wasn't good enough to warrant its extremely high price. The Mate 8 is similar in pricing, but it's a much more capable device with some outstanding features. While its excellent performanc...
The Huawei Mate 8 is a very good handset across the board, but its main strengths reside in its impressive battery capacity and proprietary UX (user experience). The design bias towards superior battery life should be the primary factor in most purchase d...

great case, bright display, excellent performance, very good battery runtime, dual-SIM, memory expansion via microSD, fingerprint scanner, no bloatware
high color deviations of the display, bad front camera, high price, mediocre GPS, slight throttling under sustained load, speaker
The Huawei Mate 8 left a very good impression during our review with its noble chassis and the high performance. It is quite a big device with its 6-inch display, but the handling is still comfortable thanks to the thin frame. Besides the high performance...

To get a feel for how the Mate 8's battery life compares to other phones, we ran it through our standard tests which offer best and worst-case scenarios. The first test, AnTuTu's Battery Test, is a high-load benchmark that aims to drain the battery of a d...
