Android version and market relevance

In the short description of the new smartphone Huawei P8 we point out the key characteristics for each smartphone. Firstly, it is an actuality in the market. This model was announced by the company Huawei in April 2015. Secondly, this concept of adequacy in the market at the moment. We determine this according to the software version on which the smartphone is running and updating. So, “out of the box” Huawei P8 works on Android 4.4 KitKat and updated to Android 6. And this is very good, we advise you to pay attention to this smartphone and to study its characteristics in more detail.

Of the features that not all Android smartphones have today, we separately single out support for two SIM cards. So Huawei P8 is a dual-smartphone, so you can combine in one device just two phones. This, of course, is convenient and makes you look more closely at this model.

Screen, body and battery

The screen Huawei P8 is made using the IPS-NEO LCD technology and has a diagonal 5.2 inches. Such a large main touch screen certainly affects the dimensions of the case, which has a thickness of 6.4 mm. Also inside the case is a battery with a capacity of 2 600 mAh.

Main camera and selfie camera

A few words about the cameras that have Huawei P8. The main camera, located on the back, received 13 MP. The main camera we would rate her 4 out of 5.

The frontcamera is also in Huawei P8. It is located in front of the screen and has its own 8 MP, which for qualitative selfies it will be not enough, therefore we advise to look others selfie smartphones in our catalog.

Processor and Internal Memory

The smartphone performance is affected by a lot of factors, and even more so on the android-smartphone, where the developer of the Android operating system and the device manufacturer are absolutely different companies and each develops with its strategy in the market. As a result, in the smartphone you get a hodgepodge: it′s like a “clean” Android, but with a shell from the manufacturer; as though only the necessary applications, but also many unnecessary from the manufacturer. Very often Android-installed apps by default, which you do not even use, are still running and working, they occupy part of the RAM and processor time of your smartphone. This slows the work of other applications and the battery charge is wasted.

So, in Huawei P8 is installed 8-core processor on the chipset Hisilicon Kirin 930. Another manufacturer is releasing a version of this model with processor on the chipset Hisilicon Kirin 935. As for RAM, the memory module is used here 3 GB.

You can store your photos, videos, music and applications both on the built-in smartphone memory, and on memory cards microSD up to 256 GB. The manufacturer releases several versions of this smartphone with different memory sizes: 16/64 GB. Before buying, be sure to decide how many gigabytes you need.

Price for Huawei P8: buy or not to buy?

Price Huawei P8 at the start of sales was $350. A smartphone with this price level got into the price segment “Middle class smartphones from $300 to $400” and got a very powerful processor, a large touch screen, and the front camera is not too cool with a decent main camera.

If you want to buy Huawei P8, you can choose any online store or offline electronics store, the main thing is to have a guarantee for the smartphone and the desired version of the model you have chosen.

Before buying, if you have the opportunity, it is better to hold the phone in your hands, check the screen, the quality of the photo and video, look at the smoothness and speed of the interface. Never buy a “cat in a bag”, be sure to check everything before buying. Today, good smartphones are worth a lot of money, so it′s better to spend an extra ten minutes to eventually buy the model that will work well one or two years and help you in everything.
