Huawei Mate 8 - does not burn and does not explode
04.11.2016
On the eve of the upcoming holidays and sales, I think, my story about the main Fiber will be very relevant (for Huawei, of course) of the outgoing year - Mate 8. I use this smartphone for two months, it's good that I did not rush to write this review after two weeks of the "eight" operation. It would be possible, perhaps the exact, but not the most honest story. The smartphone pleases me with your work constantly, from the moment of receipt of the parcel from the courier's hands. Perhaps, Mate 8 has become the most uncompromising device. Smartphone without unnecessary excuses and excuses, worked out on all 100 of its price (not Russian, of course).
By the way, the price of "gray" device within 25-30 thousand rubles from foreign online stores seems quite optimal. At the same time, as far as I know (Hi, Google; Hi, the official website of Huawei), the gadget is no longer sold in our country. It seems to be even sometimes imported to our country, but limited edition. I will not guess why he did not want to taste to local Distributes and "Bargam" (sorry, but sometimes the Russian retailer can not call), but I liked the smartphone. Therefore, it makes sense to pay attention to him, even my copy, which became the hero of the review, was not developed under the Russian market, but still works well with all Russian cellular operators.
Comes smartphone in a debral box. Immediately visible the shubles on the box - for businessmen, for brutal serious people, for the comrades and ordinary Russian students like me. In general, the design of the box is well combined with the smartphone itself. Cardboard is dense, does not scratch and does not mind. At the bottom of the box, you can detect three small box with documentation, cable and adapter for charging, headphones.
No, this is not a letter from Hogwarts. How sorry to realize it ... inside it is not an invitation from Dumbledore, and some explanations in Chinese.
In the box you can detect a dense soft silicone case. Protection in such a case is almost maximum when falling and shuffles. The cover itself is soft, there will be no scratch. If you wear this case on your smartphone, then the dimensions of the device will increase so much that you will begin to feel discomfort. The coating is soft, which means such a cover is not to get a trouser or jeans from a dense pocket. If you still manage to shove it there, then something is wrong with you. Case for the sake of the check mark, the complete set is diluted, and the real benefit in it is not much due to inconvenience in operation.
The charging unit on 2 A. The smartphone is charged about two hours to 100% (on the site it is indicated that in 2.5 hours). Fast charging is actually so. In the process of charging, the device body does not heat up, the charging unit does not heat up.
Headphones have as many as 4 holes on the housing, due to which the stereo effect is allegedly created. I did not feel any stereo effect, as I did not feel convenience in using headphone data. They constantly fall out of the ears. Yes, the appearance is original for all 100% (almost), but these headphones have only two scripts of the application: a table box or a trash can. I just do not understand how Huawei is managed to continue to produce such uncomfortable headphones for two years. By the way, traces from the black box remained on the wire, in which they lay, tie down which I could not. Black boxes - evil, similar headphones - evil.
By the way, the control panel with three buttons is able to simultaneously adjust the volume and control the playback (including turning the compositions in both directions).
Before moving to a detailed study of the device's body, we will focus on the squares of my and the people who have been developed by these devices. Almost always, I am neglected with devices. Before us, a device from the Premium category. There is not only the highest price segment, but also special manufacturing materials. As far as I understand it, the hull is made of steel (it turned out to be aluminum alloy), at least from metal for sure. Metal on the ends fragile. It is scattered into small pieces when falling. Of course, the entire body will not be able to crumble, but it will be unpleasant anyway. Aluminum bends and tills, the metal crumble, and you do not please, sir?
To please Let at least not scratching. I tried to show in a photo, but in the photo in a small resolution it is difficult to notice scratches on the ends. There are many of them, they are here. The grinded face is too big in size, it seems to be cut into your hand, and the smartphone sits confidently in it. Another confident smartphone sits in his hand in the cold! Just calls. It is completely from the metal, now keeping it in his hand becomes harder and harder. But the cold in Krasnodar we will return even later. I'm already starting to miss the plastic flagships on Snapdragon 800, warming up at Facebook input to the temperature of the kitchen frying pan on the stove.
Another point that does not give me peace is associated with glass on the front panel. Scratched? It scratches ... not quickly and not immediately, but microzarapins are gradually appear. Glass is made using 2,5d technology. But it is somehow not here. The edges of the glass are arelaced, it comes out noticeably above the case. This is not a familiar glass of 2,5d, which smoothly flows into the side faces. In this case, it turns sharply to the ends. I'm afraid to imagine what will happen if you drop the smartphone with glass down. Not a sandwich, but collect fragments, may have.
The oleophobic coating at the display is good, but the fingerprints are visible on the glass. Especially strongly they are visible on the black glossy lower inset, which is also covered with glass, as well as the display. A rag periodically has to remember. But this is the problem of all smartphones in the dark body.
On the ends, everything is too traditional to comment. The IR port disappeared somewhere ... MicroUSB connector, the speaker is only one, the microphone is two, the slot opens with a clip. In general, everything, as Were Tvet Jobs. The location of the buttons is convenient, they are made of metal.
Before us is almost a typical flagship phable, it just does not burn and does not explode.
The smartphone screen is good. Brightness is sufficient in the sun, the brightness repulsion runs exactly. In the room at night in the absence of sources of artificial lighting around the brightness of the display, I want to be reduced. The minimum brightness border is satisfied with high for comfortable use, you need a certain period to get used to the screen in the dark. There are no questions for the display and its quality. This is a 6-inch IPS matrix with a resolution of FullHD. I consider this permission optimal both for my eyes and for the autonomy of the device. Of course, VR on this screen will cause rejection, but for purposes virtual reality It is worth choosing other devices.
Frames are thin, and the display area with respect to the entire front panel is almost 79%. Unusual 2,5D-glass, covered Gorilla Glass 4, has not only a marketing charm, but also quite real. Pixel density 367 PPI, there is a polarization layer, aspect ratio of 16: 9, 10 simultaneous presses are supported. In other words, the display is good for everyone, from the naturalness of the colors (they can be configured) and to the contrast of the picture at the maximum corners of the review.
The trend of the season is a discovering camera. He discarded slightly, the lens does not scratch during everyday use.
The dimensions are as follows: 80.6 mm / 157.1 mm / 7.9 mm. Quite the usual dimensions that do not interfere with the comfort operation of the device. The weight of the device is 185 grams. The only thing that confuses me a little is that the divorces are visible periodically on the back panel, which are noticeably in the light. The rag has to be actively used.
SAMI strong side Smartphone of such size and so thickness - autonomy. Yes, there are examples when a more capacious battery could be placed in such a case, but here everything is fine with time autonomous work. The battery for 4,000 mAh is able to give odds to any flagship. Two days in moderate mode, the smartphone will last without problems. I charge the phone every day in the evening, while always in the smartphone remains about 40% of the charge. In my mode of using battery capabilities for one and a half day. For me, this is an important indicator, if not the main on this moment. I stopped with myself to hover in the bag, I feel free. This makes me happy. Perhaps it was this smartphone to me first.
If the battery charge is rapidly nearers to the border between life and death, then the screen resolution can always be reduced to HD. Fonts become more loose and contrast, but the autonomy of the smartphone rises. In general, no black and white modes (and these are compromises) are not needed at normal battery capacity. It is no sense to be soaring about switching the battery power saving modes in the settings, no sense, won at best 30 minutes.
Talk time in 2G - about 19 hours, in 3G - approximately 17 hours. The battery is unknown, and the charging adapter has characteristics: 9 V / 2 A. The strongest battery is discharged while watching video, this parameter is traditionally not very well optimized in the company's devices. However, for the whole season of "walking dead" one battery charge you.
The "heart" of the smartphone was the KIRIN 950 corporate processor (16 nm, 64 bits, 8 cores, 1.8 GHz and 2.3 GHz), and "atrodium" - Mali-T880 (4 kernels, 900 MHz). RAM LPDDR4 - 3 GB (in my case, 4 GB - in premium version). It seems to be a single-channel RAM in the usual model, in the premium version - two-channel. Frequency of work random access memory - 1333 MHz. For her uninterrupted work corresponds to the RAM coprocessor - I5.
What does all of this mean? This means that your smartphone (if MATE 8) is very cool for absolutely any tasks. Practical tests have shown that the smartphone is very fast. I also noticed one important feature - the smartphone works quickly. It works fast after installing 30 programs (working in the background) and two months of use. Cool? Not that word. You know, Huawei has no time at time. Then some kind of shoals with applications, then with the interface work. It's all great, starting from the stability of applications, the speed of the device, the timeliness of notifications. Just a find. Speed \u200b\u200bcomparable except Nexus 6p, but that has long turned into a pixel-pumpkin. Surprisingly, what this device turned out.
Stress test smartphone has not passed. At the same time, with all other synthetic tests, he coped without problems.
The smartphone interface is simple and understandable. In Hallowinovski, gloomy and crazy. And however, nothing new. Works smartphone under android management 6.0.1, EmUI 4.1 branded envelope is installed.
The label panel disappeared an automatic synchronization icon. Only 9 icons are placed on that panel, as much as much as hidden, fast access There is no.
Private interest is a gallery. Convenient sorting and grouping photos. Simple gestures (upward movement) for transmission. A detailed view of photo information is available.
The video player degraded a bit. Now it is impossible to output miniatures with active playback over the other windows. There are almost no settings. Audio effect is only one (DTS), and it is available only in wired headphones.
Music player Following the video player somewhere in the way, I lost my functionality in the way. Detailed sound setting is missing. Of course, everything solves the installation of additional software, but I'm not used to living so much and look for complex ways. It is better to write a senseless long text about the applications of political parties than I will search in the market good player. An audio device is only one, it works only in headphones.
The quality of sound in headphones (not complete) left not the most pleasant feeling. Such a feeling as if you forgot to add some audio chip to this smartphone. But there is an audio chip of HI6402, which is integrated at the processor level. The sound is slightly rude, average quality. Volume margin is not very large, at the Samsung level. Remembering sound and comparing it with Mate 8, I begin to upset a little. I will not say that the sound is terrible here - just you need to listen, it is not so rich and bright. The call speaker in force is slightly above average, its sound is also quite ordinary. Compared with Honor 6. So Honor 6 in terms of music was not just more interesting, but also louder. The audio helpfulness of the Fablet does not shine, but also to be terrible or insufficient, it is impossible to call them. Middling in this plan.
Pre-installed software does not differ with something interesting. There are a dozen unfortunate brand utilities of the brand and a dozen google services.
Hicare - app for fast support. Of course, Russia in the list of countries with active and constant support is not, but there is Belarus. A strange coincidence does not seem?
At any time, you can adjust the sound volume for media, call, talking and alarm clock. But what about notifications, comrades? Hold down the "volume" key, you can instantly start the silent vibration mode, an additional button on the screen can be achieved absolute silent.
Menu incoming call It looks inconspicuous. Notice until you start a loud connection. The microphone control chip will be useful if you communicate through the speakerphone in the office or by the road. But will you communicate there on a speakerphone? Only if a spoken speaker will refuse?
The phonebook has not changed since the XVIII CCP Congress. You can configure call display for both SIM cards. Available HD VOICE technology, if provided by the operator. In the phone book you can generate QR codes. You just will then do with them on another device if the information is not automatically transferred as a contact to another device when scanning?
Instead standard keyboard The adapted version of SWype is used. It looks old, but works well. I don't want to change the keyboard. In any case, I have not changed it yet. By the way, emoticons without visual design will be able to use either a person with a phenomenal memory or extrasens. Of course, I remember all the combinations of MK Ultimate with its first SEGA gaming console, but I would not want to remember the digital / symbolic view of emoticons.
The smartphone is able to do the dinner screenshots. How to do it? Make a regular screen, and while maintaining the smartphone will be offered to make it a dinner version. Great. After you made a screen, it is very easy to cut, you can make a mark on it. Very often I made a note on Note 4 in this way. Now you can not remember the Galaxy Note (in all senses), Huawei successfully implemented similar functionality notes on the screen.
There are no problems with the quality of communication. Microphones work excellent, the volume of the spoken speaker is sufficient, the volume of the volume is literally one or two divisions. Opportunities and responsibilities simple phone Smart smartphone works in full, it pleases. It seems to me that this smartphone will work in all ranges in which smartphones on the planet will be able to work. Here she's a traveler's dream. With our networks work perfectly. Communication everywhere holds confident.
More deeper in the settings are hidden interesting devices chips. Remove the connection speed with the network (very useful informer in the status bar) and pull out the second SIM card. Make screenshots of the top of the screen and send them to friends. All now think you have an iPhone.
You can create profiles. So, you can register twice in what "s app. Maybe this information can be useful. In any case, such small" nishtyuky "(I do not like this word, but I try to keep up with the times) make the use of a smartphone more versatile and comfortable .
Dactyloscopic sensor is a separate story. First, he is fast. Very fast in recognizing one of any of five registered fingers. Secondly, it is integrated into the interface and performs various functions. For example, I am no longer drawn to the top panel, but by opening the label panel with the movement of the finger on the scanner. Thirdly, the sensor does not work in the cold. Literally one minute on the street in the cold season, and all - the sensor ceases to respond. As soon as the smartphone housing is warmed up in the room or the end of the hand in his pocket, the dactyloscopic sensor starts working. Just an amazing situation I watch for the first time. Yes, on the wet fingers, it also ceases to react in hot conditions. In September, it was pretty hot, he did not recognize the imprint very well in warmth.
Smartphone perfectly recognizes pressing in gloves. Tested. The thinner of the glove, the less accurate triggering. Yes Yes exactly. He responds without any problems on the touch of thick mittens. Gestures and movements are typical.
The mini can not be displayed in the screenshots for some reason. Its size can be changed. Autosynchronization of data (its inclusion and shutdown) is available only in the settings.
Built-in memory 32 GB. Available to a user about 24 GB, built-in format memory Nand. Flash. Instead of a second SIM card, you can try to install a memory card. By the way, after changing the memory card or the SIM card, the smartphone does not need to reboot, everything starts to work instantly. How did they learn this? Let them teach engineers and developers of Korean brands.
There is little interesting opportunities in special features. No Huawei Pay is not yet, unfortunately.
As for wireless interfaces and sensors, in the smartphone there is everything you need to fully satisfy the guy: NFC, 802.11a \\ B \\ G \\ N \\ AC, Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth 4.2, OTA, DLNA, OTG, Volte and more Tens of other protocols. MHL is not supported, alas. In vain, I absorbed cables at one time on Ali, from which everyone abandoned the advent of fast charging. The age of cloud technologies, what to say here. But in the age of cloud technologies, Huawei found a place under the device under the device under the FM antenna. There is support for FM radio. By the way, in many countries the number of radio listeners does not decrease rapidly, so in vain, many manufacturers seek to abandon the radio and replace it with Internet broadcasting.
The mode of two windows can be launched by a gesture across the display or hold the task button. The screen is divided into two fields with a selection of shortcuts. Screens can be changed in places, you can change their size. Conveniently. With a debt of the use of a two-block mode, a slight trottling of the processor is observed (one day I worked so much with mail and office), the device itself is heated slightly.
Minuses of smartphoneHuawei.Mate. 8:
- Uncomfortable software;
- Weak chamber characteristics;
- Color problems displayed on the display;
- Uncomfortable notification system.
average cost: $ 625.
Key features: A 6-inch display with a resolution of 1080p, the KIRIN 950 processor, 3/32 GB of operational and built-in memory, Android 6.0, battery 4000 mAh, metal case.
Manufacturer: Huawei.
What?
Every time you leaving the new Huawei smartphone, you ask whether it is possible to get the same, only without this terrible software. Last year, with the Nexus 6P exit, we received an answer to this question. What managed to avoid there is fully realized in Huawei Mate 8.
Huawei.Mate. 8 - Design
What really always expects from the flagships of the Chinese manufacturer is a terrific appearance. Huawei Ascend. P8 and Huawei Mate s are made with skill that usually expect from companies such as Apple, with a mixture of glass, metal and other high-quality materials.
And Mate 8 fully corresponds to a high level, something resembling Nexus 6P design. The edges of the smartphone are cut, reflecting the light, like a gemstone. And at least the same trick used Apple in the iPhone 5, it still looks perfectly.
Like Mate S, the back cover is a little curved. It allows you to more conveniently hold your smartphone in your hand compared to other competitors. And this is good because the smartphone has really big sizes. Considering this, amazing how easy it is felt. Despite its 185 grams, it seems that this weight is evenly distributed throughout the smartphone.
But the strength causes complaints, because after a few days of use, scratches begin to appear on the housing, and very noticeable. On the other hand, the standard equipment of the smartphone has an included protective case.
Huawei Mate 8 - Display
Most of the MATE 8 display features are one of the best, except for one-permission. This is not a 6-inch display 4k, like Sony Xperia. Z5 Premium and not QHD, like Samsung Galaxy S6. Here, only 1080r, which was relevant in 2014. Perhaps this is a reduction in production costs, but we are dealing with a premium smartphone with a price of $ 625.
It is impossible to say that the screen is so bad, the resolution is quite clear, it has decent viewing angles and good brightness. The main problem is related to color rendition, white color has a pinkish shade, black colors are deep enough and with this size is well suited for watching YouTube.
HUAWEI MATE 8 - Software
Software is a constant problem on all Huawei devices. Instead of adding a little external view of AndroidAs Samsung and HTC, Huawei fully recycles it.
All starting from the notifications panel with quick screen lock settings has not been changed not for the better. Almost everyone beneficial features The interface invented by Google disappeared. As a result, IOS and Android mixture turned out, but without style and the convenience of both. For example, there is no application download icon, and fast settings separated from notifications.
And the question is not only in the design of the interface, it seems that many things do not work properly. Even S. new version EMUI operating on Android Marshmallow, one of the main new features such as Google Now on Tap, is missing for incomprehensible reasons.
Notifications from Google applications are still violated, as it was on P8 and Mate S. Having notified from Gmail or Hangouts, the text becomes black and merges with the background of the drop-down menu, making it unreadable. It's nice to see that the smartphone works with the last version AndroidBut when it is lame, then it's rather a step backward than ahead.
Huawei Mate 8 - Performance
Though software And leaves much to be desired, the productivity of the smartphone is above all praise. He is one of the fastest smartphones that had to use. And all thanks to the eight-year KIRIN 950 processor. This 64-bit chipset has 4 cores with a frequency of 2,3GHz and four - from 1.8 GHz. And in addition to this 3 GB of RAM.
The applications opens without the slightest hint of freezing, the only thing that he works is not so fast, it is with the camera app, but about it later. New games on Huawei Mate 8 are coming without problems and stops.
When testing on the GeekBench, the smartphone dials 6300 points, surpassing the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge + with its 5014 points. This is a rather significant step forward compared to two last year's models.
On the rear panel of the smartphone below the camera is a fingerprint scanner, which also works very quickly. Initial setting It will take three or four clicks, after which the smartphone will be unlocked almost instantly.
In the standard configuration, the smartphone has 32 GB of built-in flash memory, as well as a microSD card slot, so the amount of memory can be enlarged twice.
Huawei Mate 8 - Camera
At the back of Huawei Mate 8 there is 16 megapixel chamber with optical stabilization of the image with a diaphragm F / 2.0 and autofocus of the phase detection. The camera has a sufficiently large amount manual settings. Thus, you can change the focus, adjust the optical stabilization of the image and the white balance.
An unpleasant moment was the periodic slowdown in the camera's work in random order. Sometimes the application opens and triggers autofocus for a few seconds, and the next time will hang on 15 seconds with a black screen.
When the camera is working normally, the results are also ambiguous. The lens in 16 MP captures many details, but the quality of the pictures would like the best. And there are claims to pictures, photographed at good lighting. With natural lighting, the photos are obtained better, photos at night boast rich black.
The camera application in its appearance resembles the corresponding on iOS with the choice of functions at the bottom of the screen and using live filters. It is one of the best native Huawei applications and would like it to suffer from random freezes.
The results of the video recording in 1080p format are also good and fairly clear. The front camera on 8 MP is capable of providing normal photos of selfie lovers, but some settings are better to stay away.
Huawei Mate 8 - Battery, Dynamics and Communication Quality
Inside a large metal case hidden powerful battery With a capacity of 4000 mAh. Such a capacity is quite impressive, especially if you consider that a lot of energy saves at work with the display at a resolution of 1080p, and not QHD.
So Huawei Mate 8 is able to provide an autonomous work period, which is superior to the corresponding indicator of many of the competitive phagers. When using the device all day in conventional conditions - work with the email, messages, making calls until midnight, we have 49% of the battery charge and thanks to the Doze function in Android Marshmallow per night it is discharged only by 3-5%.
Watching an hour video discharges a smartphone by 8%, but watch an hour streaming video Reduces battery charge by 11%.
Unlike Nexus 6p, Huawei decided to go against the solution to replace the more used microUSB port on USB-Type C. At the moment, this is normal, but competitors actively equip new USB-Type C smartphones, so that in the future Huawei Mate 8 may be uncompetitive .
As expected, the smartphone does not support the function of wireless charging, but it is possible to quickly recharging. Thanks to her, you can charge a fully discharged battery to 50% in 40 minutes. You can fully charge the battery for 80-90 minutes.
The smartphone does not have front speakers, from the bottom column sound is quite flat. However, adding the front speakers, as it seems, would make a smartphone too high. It is also worth noting the audio recording application that uses several microphones at once along the perimeter of the smartphone. The quality of calls is also high, especially if you use a loud connection.
Do I need to buyHuawei.Mate. 8?
Huawei Mate 8 is a smartphone with an excellent appearance, long-standing time and high performance. The impression spoil the software and chamber problems. If you have $ 625 and want to spend them on an Android-smartphone with a large screen, then it is worth thinking about other options.
The cost of Nexus 6P is not much higher, and this smartphone is much better. If you search, you can find for a similar price and Samsung Galaxy Note 5, there is also a Moto X style, which is cheaper and is also a good choice. Huawei helped Google release one of the best smartphones In 2015, but she needs to seriously work on mistakes if they want to do this year.
Summary
Excellent battery and attractive design is not enough to recommend this smartphone, which is inferior to some aspects to its main competitors.
Ascend subbrend no longer exists - the predecessor Mate 8, we will remind, wore the name Ascend Mate 7 - now from additional words In the title of Huawei got rid of unnecessary. And this is for the better - why produce essences. Mate 7, we recall, was a very successful model - it was starting with Huawei from her who began to be perceived as a truly serious manufacturer of smartphones not only by the number of tubes sold, but also in terms of products. Very good and according to the characteristics, and impressions from working with him, Mate 7 a little, except for the performance of the KIRIN 925 branded platform, and did not have a sufficiently high-quality chamber.
In the fall, we received the development of the ideas of Mate 7 in a slightly more compact model Mate S with an improved system-on-chip, an amoled display, but at the same time less capacious battery. Now let's talk about the full update of Mate 7 - with the same six-pisty screen (again IPS, again Full HD), about the same battery, but with improvements in all other characteristics. Is there an Apple iPhone 6s Plus and Samsung Galaxy Note 5 fear newbies -or does the Chinese flagship represent a threat to them?

⇡ Appearance and Ergonomic
The design compared to Mate 7 has not changed too much - the general outlines remained the same, all changes affected the details. But to compare the device with some HTC no longer comes. First, the smartphones of the Taiwanese company themselves have changed strongly, take at least one M9 + or One A9. Secondly, the junior models of the Honor line (for example, 5x) adopted many solutions - and now this style can already be called branded for Huawei, if, of course, it will be possible to see any "family" in it. Huawei smartphones are pretty, but, subjectively, some kind of brand name is not enough.
Huawei Mate 8, Facial Panel: Above the display is a conversational speaker, front camera, light sensor and a miniature status indicator
Huawei Mate 8, rear panel: The upper part is the camera module with a double LED flash, under it - the fingerprint scanner; on top and bottom we see plastic inserts over the antennas
No exception and Mate 8, although according to the formal features, it's not why: the body of metal and tempered glass, the assembly is excellent, the colors are interesting (gold, silver, gray, chocolate) - but do you distinguish from Huawei from other top smartphones at first glance ? However, such claims now can be submitted to many, starting with Apple.
Huawei Mate 8, upper face: opening of the second microphone and 3.5 mm mini jack
There are practically no framework around the display - due to this, it was possible to save the dimensions and Mate 8 to save many smartphones with a smaller display diagonal.
It also became even thinner than Mate 7, due to the less speaker on the camera body. In general, it turned out fun. Last time declared a thickness of 7.9 millimeters, now we are reported that it was possible to cut 0.4 mm - and it turned out ... 7.9 millimeters. Amazing things are worked, almost a Bulgakov scale. However, as the Mate 7 could not be present to the claims - you, they say, too fat, and you don't have to adhere to Mate 8. He is rather thin - keep it because of this is not very convenient; But the convenience of using 6-inch smartphones is generally a separate topic that can be arguing about forever.
Huawei Mate 8, right face: Standard set from the "swing" volume adjustment and the inclusion keys
Huawei Mate 8, Left Edge: Single Slot for both Nanosim-cards and MicroSD cards
Other differences from Mate 7: Having moved to the bottom edge of the main speaker, which is no longer overlapping if the smartphone lies on the back; reduced "swelling" of the rear panel; Changed shape of the camera module and fingerprint scanner; A single slot for two SIM cards and a memory card (before SIMA was alone, and the slots are two).
Lived. The manufacturers of smartphones are now measured, who has a fingerprint scanner more precisely and faster - at least that Huawei boasted at the presentation of the apparatus in Las Vegas. And boasted in the case. MATE 8 uses Android 6.0 with the default scanner, do not even need to do your software.

The scanner works very quickly and unmistakably, allowing you to unlock the device in the blink of an eye. It is noteworthy that it is suitable not only for unlocking: there is also the opportunity to take pictures with touching the sensor, which is especially convenient when shooting Selfie. But flipping photos in the gallery, such as, for example, on Mate S, it is impossible. Scanner still remains first in a convenient way The protection of the smartphone, the other applications are secondary.
⇡ Software
About Android 6.0, we wrote in detail in the review of the first smartphone with clean version of this OS -
Huawei Mate 8 (reviews, photos are posted further in the article) is the phamblet of the Chinese sample manufacturer in November 2015. In many respects, this device refers to the premium class, which determines its high cost. But for your money, the buyer gets ease of use and one of the best specifications in the industry.
Huawei Mate 8: reviews, features
Maintenance specifications The phone is as follows:
- Display diagonal 6.0 ", 1920 points.
- Camera 16 MP, video 1080p.
- Processor 8-core Hisilicon KIRIN 950 frequency of 2.3 GHz.
- RAM size - 3 or 4 GB, flash memory - 32 or 64 GB, additional memory - up to 128 GB.
- Lithium-polymer battery with a capacity of 4000 mAh.
- Mass - 185
- Dimensions - 157 x 81 x 7.9 mm.
Following the footsteps Mate 7, the Fablet is also a serious and pretty smartphone. He loudly declares: this is a business.
But the high price ($ 450), some characteristics that do not match the premium phone numbers, as well as reviews say that the phable is not worth such money. Best alternative There are Nexus 6P and Galaxy Note 5. Possessing the same size, they offer a clearer and bright image and a first-class chamber.
Design and build quality
Design Huawei Mate 8 Buyers' reviews are rated high. The phone has an unsurpassed business class aura due to precision machining of metal and glass parts, sharper, bold edges. Available in golden, silver, gray and coffee versions.
For a 6-inch smartphone, the device is very compact. The phone is 4.2 mm shorter than the 5.7-inch Nexus 6p of the same manufacturer, and less per millimeter than the iPhone 6S Plus, the display of which in the diagonal has only 5.5 inches.
Fablet is equipped with a solid aluminum case, corresponding to its status of the flagship model. Rear panel Different with fine satin trim. True, it is not removed, there is no access to the battery.
Hybrid slot
Mate 8 comes with a so-called hybrid DUALSIM / MicroSD card slot. This means that there are two card sockets on the phone. The first is for the main SIM card and can be connected to LTE networks. The second slot can be used to connect the second SIM card (only 2G) or the MicroSD memory card. Depending on the needs, it can be either good or bad.
The best dactyloscopic scanner
One of the best aspects that distinguish your smartphone Huawei Mate 8, user feedback notes the presence of a fingerprint sensor located on the back panel. This is one of the best realizations on the market: the sensor is always on, lightning speed and rarely mistaken. Unlocking and outputting the starting screen occurs almost instantly. In addition, the sensor can be configured for shooting, response to calls or shutdown an alarm clock.
Display
The 6-inch display has a resolution of Full HD, which corresponds to 1080 x 1920 points. The density of 368 pixels per inch simultaneously exceeds what Apple calls Retina, and should be unnecessary for the battery and graphic chip.
The Fablite uses the IPS-Neo LCD panel with JDI, which provides a greater depth of black. Black Huawei Mate 8 User Reviews call not so impressive as in amoled displays.
The maximum brightness level when white is displayed is 471 yarns. Although it is not an outstanding result, but still quite a lot. The declared contrast is nevertheless excellent - 1361: 1. In Huawei Mate 8, owners reviews are celebrating good readability of the display with bright sunlight.
As for the accuracy of color reproduction, the phablet screen has a medium deviation of Delta E, equal to 6.1, which is a little more than I would like ideally. But even many flagship devices show the worst results, so this smartphone is located somewhere in the middle. To read the screen correctly calibrated, its maximum deviation should not exceed 4.
Battery life
Mate 8 comes with a super-large capacitance battery - 4000 mAh. The phone supports fast charging and can recharge the battery of such a large capacity according to the 9V / 2A technology in just 2.5 hours. At the charge rate of 49.33 mAh / min, the phamblet is one of the fastest charged smartphones. When using a standard Mate 8 memory is not inferior to Galaxy S6 and Note 5. Nexus 6p a little slower, and LG G4 and Honor 7 remain far behind. The speed is constant (from 0 to 85%) for about 75 minutes, and then slows down significantly. This should be remembered when you need to quickly restore the phone. Not supported. 30 minutes of charge should be enough for a full day of the device.
Special testing has shown that Mate 8 has an endurance rating of 103 hours in a single SIM card mode. This is an assessment of how long the phone will work if you use it for calling for calls, viewing web pages and video playback per day.
Such a scheme may not correspond to an individual scenario, but it allows you to compare the duration of the operation of various devices.
103 hours of operation in this mode is a great result. Smartphones that can achieve three digits, units. Moreover, no current competitor in the upper segment can approach this phone on the duration of Internet surfing, even if there are those that exceed it in video playback mode.
Long-term operation of the Furniture is due to the fact that in the sixth "Android" there is an energy-saving DOZE utility. "Marshmallow" in standby mode immerses some applications in deep sleep, reducing energy consumption. In addition, the manufacturer offers the ability to block or permit individual applications to work in the background. Battery Manager also defines the most energy-proof applications.
The entire Mate line supports the possibility of recharging another phone.
Audio
The design of the housing with holes for two speakers can mislead. Melomanians will be disappointed with the discovery that the sound comes only from the right, and the left is used for beauty. Fablet is equipped with a 3.5-milieth meter connector, but headphones, unlike Mate S, DTS sound do not reproduce. It is not a big disadvantage, since the difference is very difficult to catch.
Huawei Mate 8 Dynamics Volume (32 GB) Users feed below average. Galaxy Note5 and LG V10 is slightly louder, but XL exceeds in this regard to all.
Nevertheless, the quality of the sound through the connector of 3.5 mm FABLE has exceeded all expectations.
When connected to an active external amplifier, the output signal of the smartphone is clean, and its volume is significantly higher than the average, which makes it one of the best among competitors.
An even more impressive was the fact that the connection of headphones does not cause distortion - even the usual cross interference in stereo mode is very small, and the end result is excellent. Other characteristics are also intact, and the volume level is high.
Camera
In a smartphone camera, a Sony 1 / 2.8 production sensor is used with a resolution of 16 megapixel. There is an optical image stabilization and phase autofocus. Two-tone LED flash will be useful in the dark and allow you to get more realistic photos.
Pictures made by Huawei Mate 8, user feedback is called too soft. Although on paper, the characteristics of the apparatus are more than sufficient, in practice they do not find confirmation. Photos lack details and textures familiar to high-class smartphones. In addition, all parts of the image besides the brightest, abundance of noise.
Colors are displayed conservative - you can't call them energetic. During the day, the exposition works consistently for sure, without changes from the snapshot to the picture. Dynamic range worthy, only with a small tendency to limit bright places.
Frontal 8-megapixel chamber Huawei Mate 8 Users Users Rate positively. Detailing is good, noise is not enough, good dynamic range and pleasant colors. There is also beautiful blurred background.
In general, compared with the pictures obtained on the Galaxy S6, Sony Xperia Z5 and LG G4, the photos are pale. This is not a phone for avid photographers, but for the documentation everyday life and placement photos in social networks cameras will rise.
Video camera
The smartphone can record video in resolution up to 1080p at a speed of 30 or 60 frames per second. Oddly enough, the phamblet does not support the recording in format 2160p and 4k, although most of its competitors are already offered.
At least when recording video uses the system optical stabilization Images and the result is good and sustainable even when shooting with hands. True, stabilization in Galaxy Note 5 functions better.
Quality Video Huawei Mate 8 User reviews are called insufficient. The image does not have enough details that could be expected from such a clarity, they have a limited dynamic range. It pleases that there is no irritating focus jumping, smooth and stable image.
Software
The smartphone using the Android 6.0 Marshlow operating system with its own Emotionui V.4.0 interface. The latter, to put it mildly, has much less common with Android than with iOS. For faithful adherents of traditions, the manufacturer left the ability to replace the user interface.
The smartphone lock screen is filled with many things and events, starting with screensaver alternations after each device activation (each time the user meets other stunning beauty wallpaper) and ending with many other functions.
As is usually accepted in Chinese interfaces for Android, after the lock screen, the application panel does not appear.
Tracking movements also plays a significant role. There are flip gestures, as well as collecting, tilt and even things like a joint detection and drawing. All of them can be configured to taste the user.
The interface looks as if it is designed for a user with bad vision. Installations by default provide for tensile content for all 6 inches screen. But this can be corrected if you select in the display settings instead of a large medium or small display mode.
Multi-influence
Smartphone Huawei Mate 8 (32GB) Customer reviews are considered good thanks to potentially convenient if it enjoy it in practice limited by multi-cycle. Its start is made by a slip of the joint of the finger or much more logical hold of the launch button of recent applications. Allows you to view two applications at the same time. You can change the size of the windows and change them in places. True, the choice of supported programs is limited, among them there is no such necessary browser.
Testing productivity
Mate 8 uses the KIRIN 950 chipset manufactured by Hisilicon, a subsidiary of Huawei. This is not the first producer's own chip, which constantly makes efforts to create its own designs. electronic circuits. All Kirin chips traditionally had a chart performance problem, but as for the integrated processor for processing MALI-T880 graphics in Huawei Ascend Mate 8, users of users are not reported about such disadvantages.
Tests suggest that at the time of the appearance of the FABlet was one of the fastest smartphones in the market. In terms of its performance, he surpassed quite a few phones, such as Galaxy Note5, Nexus Plus and V10.

HUAWEI MATE 8: reviews, review in general
At one time, the FABLET was the best 6-inch smartphone, only the size diagonally is critical. The phone definitely gives very convincing arguments in its favor. Take at least a display that has high contrast and exceptional readability of the LCD panel with sunlight. Battery life is also worthy of admiration. The processor will do everything you need, and even much more.
Unfortunately, image quality and video in Huawei Mate 8 (32GB) User reviews are called mediocre. Not everyone will like Emotionui, even though the interface offers best-in-class applications in its class.
Smartphone Huawei Mate 8 - Overview
The second desktop with applications. By default, several applications with the Chinese interface (search engine, browser, social networks, navigation), which, however, are easily removed. Instead of shop Google Play. There is a Hiapp store, which is better not allowed to maintain and update all the recommended applications, because they will be in Chinese.
Regarding Google Services. Google Play Store is calmly searching in Hiapp and is installed. And then from Google Play Store services you need.
The only service that for some reason I could not install from the Google Play Store is to synchronize Google's contacts. But this application was calmly installed via Gapps Installer (Google Services Installer). Fast switches.
They are conveniently edited.
In the list of running tasks there is a "Clear" button (unload programs from memory).
Themes of the shell and pictograms, as usual, Huawei can be changed in very wide limits. For example, one of these topics is in a completely different style.
The shell supports the two-decorative mode of operation.
From the lock window, you can immediately call the camera. Also on a brushing gesture from the bottom upward appears a signature panel of actions and applications.
View of the application panel on the lock window when the audio track is running.
Conversation. There is a recording mode.
Channel speed testing for 4G has shown the expected speed. The same thing concerned the speed of Wi-Fi - it was at the maximum.
Quality telephone communication - Good, the subscriber was heard very well. Noise reduction system worked quite efficiently. AudioThe sound of the built-in speaker is surprisingly high-quality: sufficiently voluminous and even with some bass. Matthene headphones, "carnations" Myst Nail2 - Good: bulk and pretty clean sound, decent high and some bass.
Full-size headphones Plantronics BackBeat Pro in wired mode - not particularly good: the sound is more or less voluminous, but slightly deaf, good bass, which is not enough fullness, not completely outstanding high.
Tanks gave 58 fps. 
Settings Settings, as usual at Huawei, very advanced and varied. 
Settings of two SIM cards. One of them is 2G / 3G / 4G, the second is simply 2G. However, 4G / 3G can be assigned for any card.
Switching mode between Wi-Fi and mobile communications. By the way, a useful thing: when it is enabled, the smartphone does not cling to the latter for the heat Wi-Fi, but switches to the mobile Internet.
The work screen can be switched to simple mode with large pictograms and simple settings.
Display settings. You can change the flower temperature, viewing modes, headset and fonts.
Set up notifications.
Notifications for each application.

Well, an example video.
I must say that the camera has noticeably finalized. Now she removes more or less at the level of other flagships. By speed and quality is somewhat inferior, especially Galaxy S6 EDGE + and LG G4, but not too much. In general, the camera is quite decent, you can use and need. Discomfort, as I had it with Mate 7 (although there was no horror at all), it's not observed here. Snapshots are bright, saturated, white balance almost does not climb, with the exposure is mistaken within reason (and it will easily rule). Focusing well, however, the sharpness is not too smart (compared to S6 and LG G4). By the way, here the camera can still be called (and immediately shoot, if specified) from the sleep mode when the volume swings is doubled. System data and speed CPU-Z data.
Antutu test. The highest index. First place in the table.
GEEKBENCH tests.
Well, the test on PCMark. By the way, Galaxy S6 EDGE + - 5260.
It seems that this is really the most fast smartphone On the market. Well, it is practically clear that the device is very fast: everything is turning and starts smoothly and without jerks, there are practically no lags. Use the smartphone is very comfortable. Battery life I remember Mate 7 showed a very good battery life. What happened here. The Internet. The display brightness is exhibited on a comfortable 50% without auto-tuning. All wireless relationships are enabled, a page is updated every 30 seconds in the browser. Virtually exactly 12 hours - almost the same as Mate 7 (and that platform is not so productive). Video. The screen is set on the comfortable 10th level of the brightness of the player (maximum - 15th), the "aircraft" mode is turned on, the television series with hardware decoding is spinning in the cycle. 10 hours 10 minutes - good, but Mate 7 lived noticeably longer. Reading. The screen is set on a comfortable 30% brightness without auto-color, AllReader automatically scolds the page, "on the plane" mode is turned on. 18 hours 24 minutes. Synthetic test. On a comfortable brightness of the screen and with the included wireless communication views, PCMark spent a mixed mode test: surfing, photo processing, video, reading, and so on, i.e. emulation of good smartphone loading with various standard actions. It turned out that's what. In general, it is very cool, Galaxy S6 EDGE + is 7 hours 41 minutes. This test This means that the smartphone will last a full day with the most active download.
Purely, almost in the evening of the first day, during normal loading, the smartphone remained somewhere 70% of the charge. And, in general, from one charge, at the same time he lived to three days - in "All Inclusive" mode. If you optimize (turn off wireless connections And the determination of the coordinates when it is not necessary, turn off automatic synchronization), then it can live and up to five days. Also, it is well optimized power consumption in standby mode: per night he eaten only 2-3 percent charge. So with the time of autonomous work here Everything is very good. Makeupphone supports fast charging in 9V / 2A mode. At the same time, up to 50%, the smartphone is charged literally in 50 minutes, and complete charging from zero continues somewhere 2 hours 45 minutes. Observations when working and conclusions In the process of testing serious glitches, I did not find, although occasionally it happened that Play Market for some reason cut off at startup. Recent heating back cover Not manifested even when using heavy applications. The only glitch was only one. I could not install the game Epic Citadel: when trying to download it from Google Play at the time of the beginning google downloads Play cut down. And here it did not help anything: neither an attempt to download via 4G, and not through Wi-Fi (in some cases helped), nor even full reset Systems. I do not know why it did not work out with this toy. All other games and applications were installed without any problems. What conclusions can I do here? The device was very worthy. Powerful platform, excellent equipment, very high-quality display, wonderful battery life, the camera is not topical, but quite high quality. If this model is compared at a price with Galaxy S6 EDGE +, then in Russia Mate 8 begins from 35 thousand, and S6 EDGE + - where- then from 42 thousand, that is, S6 EDGE + is more expensive somewhere 1.2 times. At the same time, compared to S6 EDGE + at Mate 8:
- There is support for a second SIM card or memory card; more display (but we remember about screen buttons) with similar dimensions; more powerful platform; noticeable better time autonomous work; a little worse sound in headphones; a little worse camera; Less spectacular design.
