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: The Mate 8 has plenty of great features, but it also has almost as much going against it.Written review and camera samples: Mate 8 in 360: tech goodness: Our video gear: Deals: us! Twitter: Facebook: Instagram: Google Plus...

Abstract: Huawei's concerted push into western markets continues, and the Mate 8 is the latest entrant into the Australian market which the Chinese brand is hoping will make waves. It's certainly big enough to be used as a surfboard, so the waves are appropriate. I...

When you add up the various positives of the Mate 8 it is pretty obvious that it should be on your consideration list, especially if you are shopping for a phablet. It has the looks, the power, the camera and the battery to rival and better the competitio...
In all, we like the Huawei Mate 8. It's beautifully designed and, for a phone this size, a pleasure to use. The sluggish performance of past Huawei flagships has been banished, and the Mate 8's battery life is very good too.Couple that with a competitive...

The huge, metal Huawei Mate 8 has plenty of appeal and only minor drawbacks, but it's too expensive to sway fans of large-screen phones from the Nexus 6P or Samsung Galaxy Note 5...
Great fingerprint sensor, Gorgeous large display, Strong battery life
Emotion UI overlay, Fast charging cable not in the box, Ugly speaker grill
Huawei's Mate 8 might not be one of the best known phablets on the market, but it offers solid specs at a more affordable price than its competitors. It's not without faults, but the Mate 8 is one of the best choices if you want a larger Android phone...

6-inch screen but thin bezel, Good battery, Well-placed, fast fingerprint reader, Much cheaper than competition
Aussie version is overpriced, Aussie version has no dual-SIM, Need grey import for best value
The RRP in Australia is an inflated $899 (the Mate 7 was $699). However, you can get the 64GB version (with 4GB operating memory) with dual-SIM for $700 on grey import. You can get the 32GB version (also with dual-SIM) for $600 the same way. It's basicall...
