Abstract: ES 2016 allowed me the chance to get my hands on the Huawei Mate 8 Android smartphone to review. It really is a beautiful device, with brushed metal edges and backing of the Unibody design give it a wonderfully uniform feel, and fairly slip-proof. As long...

Abstract: Huawei recently pierced the North American market after being selected by Google as the manufacturing partner for the Nexus 6P . Looking to capitalize on this significant design win, Huawei is shipping another flagship phablet, the Mate 8, across the Paci...

Huawei's phones have been pretty solid for some time now, and while the Mate S was the exception last year the Mate 8 starts 2016 quite nicely for the company. While the phone has been available in a few territories since late November, the internation...
