| The Huawei Mate 8 Review It’s been over a year since we reviewed the Huawei Ascend Mate 7 and Ascend Mate 2. For many people and including ourselves at AnandTech these were among one of the first experiences with Huawei as a smartphone device manufacturer. Ever since our review of the Honor 6 I kind of fell into the position of being the main editor in charge of Huawei device reviews and thus experienced first-hand the company’s efforts in the high-end as well as their increasingly visible expansion into western markets. The Mate 8 is the successor to the Ascend Mate 7 and in a similar fashion to the P8 last spring, the phone drops the Ascend name in favour of better establishing the Mate brand. The Mate 8 is in a lot aspects an evolutionary design over the Mate 7 but at same time comes at the moment of a generational shift brought forth by the adoption of the new Kirin 950 SoC. With help of the new chipset and other improvements we’ll see that Mate 8 not only manages to raise the bar for Huawei but also to deal blows to competing devices in several aspects, making the phone a worthy candidate in the upcoming 2016 smartphone generation battle. http://www.anandtech.com/show/9878/t...-mate-8-review |
