The editors didn't like
Emotion UI overlay
Fast charging cable not in the box
Ugly speaker grill
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
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...
Fantastic build quality, Camera is pretty good in all light, The phone is exceptionally fast (minus the Kindle app for some reason), Amazing battery life, Huge 6″ screen with option to get quite a few apps or folders on launcher, Lots of built-in Huawei t
Just a tad too wide (personal preference, of course)
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...
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...
Fantastic CPU performance, runs cool, premium build, responsive fingerprint sensor, dualband WiFi, unbeatable battery life for a premium phone
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
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...

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...

Excellent general performance, Fantastic battery life, Great display, Good build quality, Some unique software features, Competent camera
Spotty availability, Pricey, Midrange graphics, No app tray in EMUI 4.0
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...
Abstract: Starting with the Mate 7 in 2014 , Huawei proved to the world that it had the skills and resources necessary to craft a truly premium device that easily competed with more established players in the space. Since then, Huawei has continued to raise up the...
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...
