No 3D touch
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
Spotty availability
Pricey
Midrange graphics
No app tray in EMUI 4.0
EMUI overlay has some lingering usability problems
Graphics performance is still subpar for the premium class
No 4k video recording
Very large size makes it unappealing for many potential customers
Can no longer use the fingerprint sensor to bring dow
Just a tad too wide (personal preference
Of course)
Below average camera at this price
Large phone can be unwieldy
US carrier support limited
Display resolution lower than other flagships
Missing fingerprint gestures
Weak split-screen multitasking
Heavy UI
Weak video recording capabilities
Weird software

This ginormous 6-inch phone is just too unwieldy for smaller hands. It has a dim screen and a low resolution compared with other phones
Abstract: This week we're talking about our review of the Huawei Mate 8 . Is incredible hardware enough to overcome bad software? We're also talking about Google being more valuable than Apple, LG's wacky invites to Mobile World Congress, the death (?) of Windows P...
Blazing fast performance, Exceptional battery life, Fast and accurate fingerprint sensor, Premium build quality
Weird software
The Mate 8 is a beastly phone with specs that will make most people drool. Performance and battery life are off the charts, but Huawei's weird EMUI software will be a turn-off for some people. If raw power is your #1 priority, it's hard to find a better p...
Abstract: Huawei has released a handful of flagship phones recently, from the Mate S in September during IFA 2015, to the Mate 8 in China at the end of November. While it was exclusive to the Chinese market for a while, Huawei used the CES 2016 show in Las Vegas 2...

Feature-rich user experience, Solid screen, Premium design, Outstanding battery life
Missing fingerprint gestures, Weak split-screen multitasking, Heavy UI, Weak video recording capabilities
There's no denying that the Huawei Mate 8 is an extremely well rounded and well put together Android smartphone. The user experience is distinctive and although it isn't perfect, it works well, feels fluid and boasts enough handy and helpful features to j...
Abstract: The Huawei Mate 8 (or NXT-L29 as it is also known) asks you to make a fundamental choice about what you are looking for in a phone. Or rather, it makes that decision for you by way of its generous form factor. The Mate 8 certainly puts the 'phab' in phabl...
Outstanding battery life, Market-leading performance, Super fast fingerprint sensor, Great design, Exceptional build quality
Average speakers, Mediocre camera, Software needs a lot of work
Huawei delivers great hardware yet again and the Kirin 950 sets the benchmark for performance in 2016 but a poorly conceived user experience and mediocre camera detract from what could have been a great smartphone...

Bestinclass battery life, Solid camera with strong feature set, Clean, tight industrial design, Innovative voiceinput features
Derivative, clunky software, UI gimmicks detract from legitimate features, Pricey
It goes without saying that you can get plenty of Android smartphones for a lot less than Huawei's asking for the Mate 8. Good ones too, like Huawei's own Nexus 6P ($499+) or Motorola's Moto X ($399+). Given their streamlined software and wider availab...
Other flagships have sharper displays, Photos could be sharper, Heavy EMUI overlay may deter Android purists
Huawei’s new flagship is a winning combination of good looks, great guts and epic endurance. I was blown away by the phone’s performance and incredible battery life, and loved the convenience provided by its fingerprint sensor. The Mate 8's display is not...
