Huawei Announces New P8 And P8 Max

Today at the London launch event Huawei announced two new successors in the Ascend P-series of smartphones: the P8 and P8 Max. Noticeable lacking during the announcement is the Ascend brand name. It seems Huawei has dropped it in favour of the simpler P8 and P8 Max model names. Huawei has traditionally targeted the P-series towards the high end segment in Europe by offering premium build quality in very thin form factors. This is the fourth iteration of the P-series after the first announcement of the 2012 P1 and following P6 and P7.
