amazon Huawei P8 reviews

Design

The machine is designed to be monolithic and machined with metal, measuring 144.9 x 72.1 x 6.4mm and weighing just 144g, making the Huawei P8 look more luxurious and more expensive than its real price. We can see the angular lines are inspired by the Apple iPhone 6 or Sony Xperia Z3. The curved edges look quite similar to the features of the Samsung Galaxy S6, while the metal on the back of the machine similar Apple iPhone 5. Huawei not only bring its own lines of design from the competition , But also for the current version with the trend of current products with some pretty peculiar colors such as P8 16Gb color “Mystic Champagne” and “Titanium Gray” or 64Gb version with the colors “Prestige Gold” and “Carbon Black”.

The physical keys on the P8 only have the power button and the volume keys are located on the right side of the machine. The power button is designed relatively small and placed quite close to the volume keys, so it is easy to mislead the user. The P8 has a nice feature or when the screen is off, just double-click the volume down key to open the camera application to take a picture immediately. If the power button is slightly larger or set to the opposite side, the operation will be easier, To overcome this Huawei P8 be equipped with the ability to double tap to wake up. Ignoring a few inadequacies, this is still a quality cell phone that is very good. It weighs more than the iphone 6 and the Samsung Galaxy S6, but lighter than the HTC One M9 with the appearance is not inferior to any high-end products.

Screen

The IPS LCD screen is a 5.2″ 424ppi Full HD screen and is equipped with Gorilla Glass 3. The screen’s edge is quite thin, saving maximum space for the screen display on the face. before. Although not have the Quad HD resolution as Galaxy S6 however this is still a Full HD screen with good visibility. High brightness display, good display in all lighting conditions. Huawei’s Emotion UI includes some of the options to adjust the color temperature of the screen on the P8. The display options in the settings allow you to tune between hot and cold tones for better color balance on the screen. The color shown on the P8 screen is quite fresh, but if we notice, the tone is quite a bit pink red. If placed next to some screens of other flagship as the Galaxy S6, the comparison shows that the Huawei P8 is uniformly colored but less in the details of the black or white tone.

The P8’s display has good viewing angles. This is a plus that P8 has brought, although not the best overall, but this is a very good quality screen of the recent high-end equipment.

Camera

Huawei is expected to bring P8 camera quality as announced and if you look at the parameters of the camera is really high quality.

The P8 features a 13 MPx lens with Sony’s RGBW image processing sensor and a f / 2.0 aperture designed to maximize the ability to shoot in low light and dimmer conditions. Even being equipped with optical anti-vibration lens (OIS) on the P8 also shows it better than the Apple iPhone 6 Plus. When the OIS lens on the P8 can handle up to 1.2 degrees of frame movement while the iPhone 6 Plus is only 0.6 degrees. The camera is good in low-light, anti-shake mode when shooting still images. Full HD video recording is very stable and excellent at 30 frames per second.

In more light conditions, the camera is easy to auto-focus and adjust focus well. Face Recognition is fast, all takes about one second for the focus lens. P8 has some great shooting modes that allow users to enjoy the creative and improve the quality of the picture without. It requires too much technical skill. Exposure capability is also an attractive plus for users, including shooting modes with a variety of cool effects such as “taillights,” “light graffiti,” ” Stellar streak “. All you need to do is keep your phone stable while taking photos, but Huawei also recommends using a tripod to get better exposure quality. This is really a very good approach for smartphone users to come up with advanced, beautiful and fancy shooting techniques.

The 8MPx front camera is ideal for self-shots, and even offers you a “Beauty” tool to remove facial expressions like whitening, whitening, facial whitening. Or even remove dark circles in the eye.

Huawei really did a great job with the Camera on the P8, delivering beautiful, high-quality, high-definition images. With the results compared to the Galaxy S6 shows that in different lighting conditions the pictures that P8 bring really worth the attention. Of course, the S6 offers more accurate color and detail, but for most smartphone users, the P8 camera is more than enough to meet all your needs.

Software and Performance

Although the Huawei P8 runs Android 5.0, it has a separate Emotion user interface that you’ll find familiar if you’ve ever used it through the iOS operating system. Everything from the shape and style of the phone icons to the system search function has been customized and resembles what is on the Apple phone.

There are still features of the Android operating system such as swipe down will appear notification bar also in the tab next to the quick install menu this is quite convenient and convenient for users. Or multitasking will be the page that manages the active applications from which you can decide to turn off the application by flipping or activating the application by clicking. However, the look of the screen is not as beautiful as in the original Android 5.0

In an effort to make some difference. Huawei brings some unique features to the P8, in addition to the camera features mentioned above, there is also a “Voice wake”. This is a feature that allows you to activate your phone to unlock the phone when in standby mode or can help you find the phone when it is in a position out of sight. The default term used for the activation of P8 is “Ok Emy” but you can completely change this phrase to your will when using.

Testing shows that this feature is more difficult to use than we expected. The machine refused to unlock quite many times and took much more time than pressing the power button to activate the machine.

Huawei developed the machine with a pretty hardware quality. The 64 bit HiSilicon Kirin 930 processor consists of two quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 chips. A quad-core chip is overclocked to 2.0Ghz to handle high-intensity tasks while the other chip with 1.5Ghz processing speeds satisfies most of the normal use of the phone such as hearing Call, retrieve, check mail, browse the web, play music. Although having a really strong configuration, through the process of using the record, with the handling of high-intensity tasks, the machine still has a bit of application status is paced and slightly lag because the machine used GPU is quite low.

Listen and call

Speakers and mic are placed in basic positions. Below is a micro USB connector and speakerphone. With the horizontal grip for example to watch videos for example, it is easy to replace the speaker is hand, but not too worried to affect the volume of the machine. The volume of the loudspeaker is very loud even at 50%, but the sound quality is not really high. It’s a bit heavy and loud except the bass is quite good.

The P8’s headphones are designed with a hard plastic material that feels a bit large and therefore makes it uncomfortable for people with small ears. The sound produced by the sound is so loud and so easily leaking out to others around you when you use it, we recommend that you still consider a different headphone experience with consistent quality to replace.

Battery capacity

The Huawei P8 has a capacity of 2680mAh. It is a bit more when compared to the battery of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge but much smaller if placed next to the Huawei P8 Max brother with battery capacity up to 4360mAh.

With average usage, battery life can last up to a day. Playing music while on a standby computer does not affect much on battery life and this is useful for people who regularly listen to music on the phone.

Using a morning to read newspapers, surf the web, check mail and watch a few short videos, the middle of the day the battery is still around 85-90%. The Emotion UI also offers a variety of customizable and time-consuming widgets to pinpoint which apps or tasks are consuming battery power, thus saving time and battery usage. Although it takes up to 3.5 hours to fully charge the battery when the battery is running low, while the Galaxy S6 only takes half the time to do the same thing, we are still very satisfied with the performance of the P8 battery.

Should Buy Huawei P8 ?

Although not from a big phone brand, but with the mid-range price and quality of what it brings together with the chic design, the Huawei P8 is still worth considering for ownership. The P8 has all the power of a high-end phone including a large screen, a powerful microprocessor and a very good 13MPx camera. If the battery capacity reaches 3000mAh, then the Huawei P8 will be great at this price, but it will be another story of the developer.

Bring good hardware quality to the competitive edge of the segment for the strategic products of the major manufacturers such as the Samsung Galaxy S6 and HTC One M9 although the price was announced just like the mid-range machines. Such as LG G3, HTC M8, Samsung Galaxy A5 or Sony M4 Aqua. Actually, the P8 has achieved its hallmarks in the race to compete among smartphones running the best Adroid in 2015.
