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
Incredible performance, premium design, decent display, stellar battery life
Camera software is poor
It's not hard to see why Huawei is becoming more popular. The Mate 8's software is frustratingly heavy, but it matches its big-name rivals in almost every other respect, offering a premium design, superb performance and a decent display.What's more, it ou...

Superb battery life, ace fingerprint scanner, refined design, smaller than iPhone 6S Plus (despite having a larger 6in screen), reasonable camera and stabilisation
Software not always smart (EMUI 4.0 means no app tray, split screen fairly useless), screen resolution limitations, huge size won't suit all
The Huawei Mate 8 is an echo of the Mate 7. But with an added thump of power at its core, the latest software on board and an improved camera, it's all the more appealing. Plus 6-inch phones are becoming increasingly the norm, which ought to further...
Abstract: The Huawei Mate 8 was introduced in November for China, and earlier this month the company gave some news about global availability outside China. If this smartphone has made it onto your device shortlist you might be interested in checking out a good loo...
In many ways, the Mate 8 is an excellent smartphone. It has a big, high-quality screen and is well made. It isn't the most stylish of phones, but it's fast (unless you're talking about games) and has decent battery life. The camera is a disappointment in...
Abstract: We test Huawei's Mate 8 smartphone to see how its Kirin 950 SoC performs. This is also our first look at ARM's Cortex-A72 CPU core and new Mali-T880 GPU. How does A72 compare to the A57 and Snapdragon 820's Kryo cores?Huawei is not a household name in Nor...

In all, I like the Huawei Mate 8. It's a little too large for my pockets, but I love the design and, generally, it's been a pleasure to use. The sluggish performance of past Huawei flagships has been banished thanks to the shiny new Kirin 950 chipset, and...

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 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...

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...
Software aside, the Huawei Mate 8 is a great bit of kit. The screen isn't the best on the market, but the premium design, powerful processor and decent camera make for an all-round impressive device. Huawei has already won itself third place in the sma...
