Does not burn and does not swell. does not burn and does not wobble Huawei Mate 8 series

Huawei Mate 8 (videos, photos posted further in the article) is a phablet from the Chinese leaf fall season 2015. For the richness of parameters, these devices are upgraded to the premium class, which means your traveler. But for his money, the buyer gets the lightness of the vikoristan and one of the shortest specifications in the galuz.

Huawei Mate 8: features, characteristics

The main technical characteristics of the phone are as follows:

• Display diagonal 6.0", 1920 pixels.
• Camera 16 MP, video 1080p.
• Processor 8-core Hisilicon Kirin 950 with a frequency of 2.3 GHz.
• Rozmir RAM- 3 or 4 GB, flash memory - 32 or 64 GB, additional memory - up to 128 GB.
• Lithium-polymer battery with a capacity of 4000 mAg.
• Masa - 185 g.
• Dimensions - 157 x 81 x 7.9 mm.

Following in the footsteps of the Mate 7, the phablet is also a serious and good-looking smartphone. He loudly declares: this is business.

But the price is high ($450), it has characteristics that are not comparable to premium-class phones, and also means that the phablet is not worth such pennies. The best alternative is the Nexus 6P Galaxy Note 5. Being the same size, they offer a clearer and brighter image and a first-class camera.

Design and ease of assembly

The design of Huawei Mate 8 is highly appreciated by buyers. The phone has an undeniably business-class aura due to the precision mechanical processing of metal and glass parts, especially on the brightest edges. You can wear gold, silver, gray and cava colors.

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 a millimeter shorter than the iPhone 6s Plus, whose diagonal display is only 5.5 inches.

The phablet is equipped with a solid aluminum body, which indicates its status as a flagship model. Rear panel It is covered with a thin satin finish. True, it cannot be removed; access to the battery is only a day.

hybrid slot

The Mate 8 comes with what's called a hybrid DualSIM/MicroSD card slot. This means that the phone has two card slots. First - for the main SIM card and you can connect to LTE moderation. Another slot can be used to connect another SIM card (only 2G) or a MicroSD memory card. Depending on the needs, it can be either good or bad.

Short fingerprint scanner

One of the most striking aspects of the Huawei Mate 8 smartphone is the presence of a finger sensor located on the rear panel. This is one of the shortest implementations on the market: the switch-on sensor is extremely fast and rarely wears out. Unblocking and visnovok start screen vidbuvayutsya mayzhe mittevo. In addition, the sensor can be configured to receive calls, respond to calls, or turn off the alarm.

display

6-inch display Volodya Date Full HD, which represents 1080 x 1920 pixels. The 368 pixels per inch density surpasses what Apple calls Retina, and is not heavy on the battery and graphics chip.

Phablets are equipped with an IPS-NEO RC panel with JDI, which provides greater depth of black color. The black Huawei Mate 8 is considered not as hostile as AMOLED displays.

The maximum brightness level when white is displayed reaches 471 nits. Although you don’t want a clear result, you still get a lot. The stated contrast ratio is 1361: 1. Huawei Mate 8 has good display readability in bright sunlight.

Given the accuracy of the color scheme, the phablet screen has an average Delta E value of 6.1, which is a little more than we would ideally like. A lot of flagship devices tend to show better results, so Denmark smartphone grows out here in the middle. To ensure that the screen is properly calibrated, there is no need to overestimate its maximum sensitivity 4.

Battery life term

Mate 8 comes with a battery included great capacity- 4000 mAg. The phone supports fast charging and can recharge a battery of such high capacity with 9V/2A technology in just 2.5 years. With a charge speed of 49.33 mAg/xv, the phablet is one of the fastest-charging smartphones. With the replacement of the standard memory, the Mate 8 does not sacrifice the Galaxy S6 and Note 5. The Nexus 6P has a little more, and the LG G4 and Honor 7 are left far behind. The fluidity is constant (from 0 to 85%) for about 75 minutes, and then significantly levels off. About this memory trace if you need to quickly update your phone. doesn't push up. 30 hvilin charge is guilty of vistachiti for the next day I will install the robot.

Special testing showed that the Mate 8 May has a durability rating equal to 103 years in single-SIM mode. This is an assessment of how your phone will work, how you use it every year for calling, browsing web pages and creating videos per day.

This scheme may not correspond to an individual scenario, but it allows you to establish the triviality of the operation of various devices.

103 years of work in this mode is a miraculous result. Smartphones that can reach a triple-digit figure are one. Moreover, it is expected that no competitor in the upper segment will be able to get close to this phone due to the hassle of Internet surfing, or something like turning it over in the video creation mode.

The robot phablet is designed in part because Android has the energy-saving Doze utility. “Marshmallow” in the cooldown mode locks you into deep sleep, reducing your energy levels. In addition, the publisher promotes the possibility of blocking or allowing fixed programs to operate in background mode. The battery manager also accounts for the highest energy-consuming programs.

The entire Mate line supports the ability to charge another phone.

Audio

The design of the housing with doors for two speakers can be misleading. Music lovers will be disappointed to see that the sound comes out only from the right, and the left one serves for beauty. A phablet with a 3.5mm jack, or headphones, paired with the Mate S, does not support DTS sound. It’s not a big deal, since it’s very difficult to catch the difference.

The volume of the Huawei Mate 8 (32 GB) is rated below average by buyers. The Galaxy Note5 and LG V10 are a little louder, but the XL tops it all.

Proceed through the power of sound through the 3.5 mm jack of the phablet, completing all calculations.

When connected to an active external booster, the output signal of the smartphone is clean, and its volume is significantly higher than average, which makes it one of the best among its competitors.

Even more objectionable was the fact that connecting headphones does not sound like a noise - the primary crosstalk in stereo mode is even insignificant, and the end result is miraculous. Other characteristics are also unfinished, and the thickness level is high.

camera

The smartphone's camera has a Sony 1/2.8 "sensor with a separate 16 MP unit. Optical image stabilization and phase autofocus. Dual-tone LED is ideal for use in the dark. Allow you to capture more realistic images.

The photos taken by Huawei Mate 8 are called too soft by the correspondents. Although on paper the characteristics of the device are more insufficient, in practice there is no confirmation of this. The photo lacks details and textures typical for high-end smartphones. In addition, all parts of the image, except the brightest ones, are filled with noise.

Colors are portrayed conservatively - they are not called energetic. During the day, exposure is consistently accurate, without changes from shot to shot. The dynamic range is annual, with only a slight tendency to narrow the bright spots.

The front 8-megapixel camera of Huawei Mate 8 is positively assessed by homeowners. The detail is good, there is little noise, there is a good dynamic range and color reception. The presence also complements the background.

In general, the photos taken on the Galaxy S6, Sony Xperia Z5 and LG G4 are identical. This is not a phone for inveterate amateur photographers, but it is suitable for documenting everyday life and posting photos in the camera’s social media.

video camera

The smartphone can record video from separate sources up to 1080p at a speed of 30 or 60 frames per second. It’s not surprising that the phablet does not support recording in 2160p and 4K formats, although most of its competitors have already demonstrated this ability.

When recording video, the optical image stabilization system is used, and the result is good and stable when held by hand. True, stabilization in the Galaxy Note 5 functions better.

The video quality of Huawei Mate 8 is called insufficient by consumers. The images show no details that could be perceived with such clarity, but they have a dynamic range. The good news is that there are no annoying focus shifts, the image is smooth and stable.

software security

The smartphone uses the Android 6.0 marshmallow operating system with the EmotionUI v.4.0 interface. The rest, it seems, is much less comfortable with Android than with iOS. For true followers of traditions, the generator has removed the ability to replace the interface assigned to the user.

The lock screen of the smartphone is full of speeches and sentences, starting from the selection of screensavers after skin activation of the device (every time the skin peels, and finally a wealth of other functions Iyami.

As is customary in Chinese interfaces for Android, after the lock screen the extensions panel does not appear.

The tightness behind the hands also plays an important role. And flip-gestures, as well as collection, nahil and navіt such speeches as revealing a soreness and painting. All the stinks can be mellowed with the taste of the koristuvach.

The interface looks like it’s not possible to pay insurance for a greedy doctor with a dirty eye. The installation settings extend to cover all 6 inches of the screen. This can be corrected by selecting high-medium or fine display mode in the display settings.

richness

The Huawei Mate 8 (32GB) smartphone is considered by buyers to be a good and potentially handy smartphone, as it is used in practice, surrounded by a rich window. The launch is carried out by pressing the finger or by more logical pressing of the button for launching recent additions. Allows you to look at two supplements at the same time. You can change the size of the window and change their positions. True, the choice of supported programs does not include such a required browser.

productivity testing

The Mate 8 is powered by the Kirin 950 chipset, which is manufactured by HiSilicon, a subsidiary of Huawei. This is not the first power source of the printer, which the firm consistently reports until the creation of its power designs of electronic circuits. All Kirin chips traditionally have a small problem with graphics performance, but there is no integrated processor for processing Mali-T880 graphics in Huawei Ascend Mate 8, and users are not informed about such shortcomings.

Tests to talk about those that at the moment the phablet appeared, it was one of the largest Swedish smartphones to the market. For his productivity, he has surpassed a lot of phones, such as Galaxy Note5, Nexus Plus and V10.

Pros and cons

advantages:

• The size of a 6-inch phablet does not exceed the size of 5.7-inch devices.
• Trival term for battery service.
• Android 6.0.
• Sustainable metal body.
• Good and fast working finger sensor.
• Two SIM cards.
• Leader in the class on fine-tuning and granting rights to addendums.
• There is no sound from the headphones.

shortcomings:

• Photo and video camera in the middle.
• Daily formats 2160p and 4K.
• Low permission.

Huawei Mate 8: highlights, overview

At the time, the phablet was the smallest 6-inch smartphone, but the diagonal size is more critical. The telephone, madly, gives even more than exhaustive arguments for its own sake. I would like to take a display that has high contrast and is easy to read the LCD panel in bright light. The battery service life is also the same as the year of storage. The processor generates everything it needs and produces much more.

Unfortunately, the image and video clarity of the Huawei Mate 8 (32GB) is called average by some buyers. Not everyone likes EmotionUI, but they don’t care that the interface is best in its class in its ability to manage applications.

The Ascend sub-brand is no longer active - the successor to the Mate 8, apparently bearing the name Ascend Mate 7 - is now released additional word The name Huawei was used because it was unnecessary. And the best thing is the fruitfulness of reality. Mate 7, apparently, was already a distant model - starting from it, Huawei began to recognize itself as a truly serious smartphone manufacturer not only for the number of handsets sold, but for the number of products that are being released. Although very good both in terms of characteristics and in terms of performance, Mate 7 is a little behind the productivity of the Kirin 925 platform, but not with a sufficiently bright camera.

In the spring, we developed the ideas of Mate 7 into a three times larger compact model Mate S with an advanced system-on-a-chip, an AMOLED display, and also a smaller battery. Now let's talk about the completely updated Mate 7 - with the same six-inch screen (again IPS, again Full HD), approximately the same battery, and with improvements in all other characteristics. Chi varto Apple iPhone 6s Plus i Samsung GALAXY Note 5 afraid of the newcomer - Or is the Chinese flagship not a threat to them?

⇡ Technical characteristics

⇡ External appearance and ergonomics

The design, updated from the Mate 7, hasn’t changed much - the formal outlines have become redundant, all the changes have limited details. It wouldn’t even occur to you to replace the device with something like HTC. First of all, the smartphones of the Taiwanese company themselves have changed a lot, just look at the One M9 + or One A9. On the other hand, the younger models of the Honor line (for example, 5X) have adopted a lot of solutions - and now this style can already be called corporate for Huawei, which, of course, allows you to look into the new “family” style. Huawei smartphones are nice, but, subjectively, they don’t have any brand character yet.

Huawei Mate 8, front panel: above the display there is a large speaker, front camera, light sensor and miniature indicator

Huawei Mate 8, front panel: at the top there is a camera module with a retractable light-colored cover, under it there is a finger scanner; At the top and below there are many plastic inserts above the antennas

It’s not the fault of the Mate 8, although there’s nothing to worry about in terms of formal features: the body is made of metal and hardened glass, the assembly is amazing, the color of the case (gold, silver, gray, chocolate) - do you differentiate Huawei from other top-end smartphones at first glance? However, similar claims can be made to a large number of people starting from Apple.

Huawei Mate 8, top edge: open another microphone and 3.5 mm mini-jack

There are practically no frames around the display - the design of which has greatly saved the dimensions of the Mate 8, the most compact smartphones with a smaller display diagonal.

The bottom of the Mate 7 has also become thinner, with the frame protruding less over the camera body. It turned out funny. Last time they announced a speed of 7.9 millimeters, now we are informed that they were reduced by 0.4 mm - and it turned out to be... 7.9 millimeters. Marvelous things are happening on a Bulgakovian scale. At the same time, since before Mate 7 it was not possible to make claims - and, after all, it was too much - so you won’t be able to make any claims before Mate 8. It is rather too thin - it is not very easy to trim it through it; But the handiness of the rise of 6-inch smartphones is a hot topic that we can talk about forever.

Huawei Mate 8, right side: standard dialing from the “goader” for adjusting the volume and the power key located under it

Huawei Mate 8, left side: single slot for both nanoSIM cards and microSD card

Other features of Mate 7: by moving to the bottom of the main speaker, which now does not overlap when the smartphone is lying on its back; the “swelling” of the rear panel has been changed; the shape of the camera module and finger scanner has been changed; A single slot for two SIM cards and a memory card (previously there was one memory card and two slots).

We made it. Smartphone developers are now competing to see who has a more accurate and faster finger scanner - something Huawei famously boasted about at the presentation of the device in Las Vegas. I boasted to the authorities. On the Mate 8, Android 6.0 is installed with a supported scanner; there is no need to use its own software.

The scanner works quickly and smoothly, allowing you to unlock devices in one click. It is noteworthy that it is not only useful for unlocking: it is also possible to take photos with a touchpad to the sensor, which is especially handy when taking a Selfie. And the axis of the larynx of photography in the gallery, as, for example, on the Mate S, is not possible. The scanner is previously lost, first of all, by manually locking the smartphone, otherwise it is frozen second.

⇡ Software security

We already wrote about Android 6.0 in review of the first smartphone with a clean version of this OS -

disadvantages of a smartphoneHuaweiMate 8:

• Not handy software;
• Weak camera characteristics;
• Problems with the color that appears on the display;
• The notification system is not manual.

Average varity: $ 625.

Key characteristics: 6-inch display with separate 1080p partition, Kirin 950 processor, 3/32 GB of RAM and storage, Android 6.0, 4000 mAg battery, metal case.

Virobnik: Huawei.

So what??

Every time a new one comes out Huawei smartphone You are wondering how you can get the same results, only without that crappy software. Last year, with the release of the Nexus 6P, we cut off the power supply. Those who were lucky enough to live there will pay for the Huawei Mate 8 in the rest of the world.

HuaweiMate8 - Design

What you will soon see is the flagship of the Chinese manufacturer, without the dull external appearance. Huawei Ascend P8 and Huawei Mate S are manufactured with the level of craftsmanship that you would expect from companies such as Apple, using exceptional materials, metal and other high-quality materials.

And the Mate 8 is completely in line with the design of the Nexus 6P. The edges of the smartphone are cut, reflecting light, similar to koshtovny stone. And although this trick was used by Apple back in the iPhone 5, it still looks amazing.

Similar to Mate S, back cover slightly bent. This allows you to more easily hold your smartphone in your hand on par with other competitors. And that’s good, since the smartphone is effectively large in size. Looking at it, it’s amazing how light it feels. Despite its 185 grams, it seems that it is evenly distributed throughout the smartphone.

And even after a few days of abuse, smudges begin to appear on the body, and marks begin to appear. On the other hand, the standard equipment of the smartphone includes a dry case.

Huawei Mate 8 - Display

Most of the features of the Mate 8 display are one of the most impressive, except for one thing. This is not a 6-inch 4K display, like the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium, and not a QHD, like the Samsung Galaxy S6. There are only 1080p here, which was relevant in 2014. It's possible to save money on expenses, but we can get away with a premium smartphone priced at $625.

It’s impossible to say that the screen is already so rotten, it has allowed it to become clearer, it allows you to look around and add brightness. The main problem is related to the transfer of color, white colors have a horny tint, black colors are deep and with such a size are good for watching YouTube.

Huawei Mate 8 - Software

Security software is constant problem on all Huawei devices. Instead of slightly complementing the modern look of Android, like Samsung and HTC, Huawei is completely redesigning it.

Everything that starts in the panel with the quick settings for blocking the screen has not been changed in stealing the side. Almost all the reasons for the power of the interface invented by Google have disappeared. The result was a mixture of iOS and Android, but without the style or simplicity of either. For example, there is a popular program icon here, and Swedish customization strengthened and updated.

And not only in the design of the interface, there is a feeling that many speeches are not delivered in a proper manner. With the new version of EMUI, which runs on Android Marshmallow, one of the main new features, such as Google Now on Tap, for obvious reasons.

Notifications from Google add-ons, as previously, are broken, as was the case on the P8 and Mate S. When selecting notifications from Gmail or Hangouts, the text becomes black and fades into the background as the menu opens, making it unreadable. It’s good to know that the smartphone runs the same version of Android, but if it works, it’s more likely to go backwards than forward.

Huawei Mate 8 - Productivity

want security software And the productivity of the smartphone is beyond all praise. It's one of the best smartphones I've ever tried. And all eight-core Kirin 950 processors. This 64-bit chipset has 4 cores with a frequency of 2.3 GHz and almost 1.8 GHz. І for an additional 3 GB of RAM.

The add-ons open without any strain on the hanger, however, it does not work as smoothly as with the camera add-on, but only a little later. New games on Huawei Mate 8 can be played without problems or problems.

When tested on Geekbench, the smartphone scores 6,300 points, surpassing the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ with 5,014 points. This will give you a significant amount of time ahead with two minor models.

On the back panel of the smartphone, below the camera, there is a finger scanner, which also works very quickly. Pochatkova is getting ready for three hours of pressing, after which the smartphone can be unlocked in the near future.

The standard configuration of the smartphone has 32 GB of built-in flash memory, as well as a slot for a MicroSD card, so the memory capacity can be doubled.

Huawei Mate 8 - Camera

On the back of Huawei Mate 8 there is a 16 MP camera with optical image stabilization, f/2.0 aperture and phase detection autofocus. The camera can be very flexible manual adjustment. In this way, you can change the focus, adjust the optical image stabilization and white color balance.

The unacceptable point was the periodic improvement of the camera robot in a sudden manner. Sometimes the add-on opens and asks for autofocus for a few seconds, and then freezes for 15 seconds with a black screen.

If the camera works normally, the results are still ambiguous. The 16 megapixel lens is full of details, but the quality of photos would be better. Moreover, there are claims before photographs taken in good lighting. When naturally lightened, photographs come out more beautiful; photographs at night can boast a rich black color.

The addition of a camera behind its modern appearance is visible on iOS by selecting a function at the bottom of the screen and selecting live filters. This is one of Huawei's greatest recent additions, and I would like it to not suffer from occasional freezes.

The results of video recording in 1080p format are also good and clear. The 8-megapixel front camera is designed to provide normal photographs for selfie lovers, so it will be easier to adjust the settings.

Huawei Mate 8 - Battery, speakers and battery life

In the middle of the large metal body there is a heavy-duty battery with a capacity of 4000 mAg. This capacity is significant, especially if you save a lot of energy on a robot with a display at 1080p resolution rather than QHD.

So Huawei Mate 8 is a safe term autonomous robot, Which overturns the overwhelming display of riches from competitive phablets. With vikoristan, I will spend the whole day in the highest minds - work with by electronic mail, We inform you that the ringing until last night has lost 49% of the battery charge and the Doze function in Android Marshmallow has only been discharged by 3-5%.

Watching a video drains your smartphone by 8%, and watching a streaming video drains your battery by 11%.

In addition to the Nexus 6P, Huawei was opposed to the decision to replace the mostly defective microUSB port with USB-Type C. At the moment, this is normal, but competitors are actively equipping new models of smartphones with USB-Type C, so it may appear in the upcoming Huawei Mate 8 uncompetitive .

As it turns out, the smartphone does not support the wireless charging function, but it does have the ability to recharge automatically. You can now charge a fully discharged battery up to 50% for 40 rubles. You can fully charge the battery for 80-90 hours.

The smartphone does not have front speakers; the sound coming out of the bottom speakers is quite flat. However, the addition of front speakers, as it turns out, would make the smartphone too tall. Varto also means an addition to sound recording, as a result of a number of microphones located around the perimeter of the smartphone. The acidity of the links is also high, especially when vikorizing a thick link.

Do you need me to buyHuaweiMate 8?

Huawei Mate 8 is a beautiful smartphone from the outside looking in, long hours autonomous robots and high productivity. The enemy is worried about the software and problems with the camera. If you have $625 and want to spend it on an Android smartphone great screen Then it’s time to think about other options.

The quality of the Nexus 6P is not much greater, and therefore the smartphone is much nicer. If you think about it, you can find the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 at a similar price, as well as the Moto X Style, which is cheaper and also a good choice. Huawei helped Google release one the shortest smartphones in 2015, but they need to seriously work on the benefits if they want to earn something similar to theirs.

summary

A removable battery and an attractive design are not enough to recommend this smartphone, which sacrifices some aspects to its main competitors.

Obviously, smartphones with a screen diagonal of no more than five inches are required for storing and carrying with you. However, if the gadget is used, for example, to watch a video or as part of a navigator in a car, then a large screen diagonal is required. For such purposes and creations, the Huawei Mate 8 smartped. Let's see what the new “Chinese” can please us with.

Video Huawei look around Mate 8

Huawei Mate 8 is a stylish smartped for the business segment. Here you indicate both the technical characteristics and design of this device, as well as the dimensions of its 6-inch screen. The wide variety of this gadget was presented at CES 2015. It came to replace the latest iteration of smartphones. According to the words of Chinese retailers, they did not plan to re-shape the appearance of the device. This, rather, can be called a kind of work on improvements and updates to the old Huawei Mate 7.

How can we please you with the 8th model of Mate, as we will tell you about Huawei Mate 8.

Before that, start detailed inspection Huawei Mate 8, let's briefly get to know the technical characteristics of this device:

Equipment

Huawei Mate 8 is sold in a beautiful black cardboard box, the front part of which is decorated with gold lettering of the model name.

Everything in the box is laid on top. At the top there is a special box for the Huawei Mate 8 itself. Below it are 3 boxes with accessories. The smartped is equipped with a bumper that can be attached to protect the ends, a set of documents, a clip for lifting the nano-SIM tray, a stereo headset, an electrical adapter with a power supply of up to 2 A, and a USB cable.

Design

A look at the Huawei Mate 8 smartphone is difficult without a detailed look at the design of the device. The device has a truly flagship design: 100% metal body, small-sized, for a 6-inch display. The case is only 7.9 millimeters thick, its matte surface is created using sandblasting.

The flat sides of the smartphone have the texture of rolled metal. The edges are decorated with shiny chamfers. Suvori robes look very stylish and noble. The phone is available in brown, black and silver colors. The assembly of the body is practically perfect, it does not deform and does not produce any sounds during various manipulations.

The front part of Huawei Mate 8 is covered with a very high 2.5D slope. The display occupies 86% of the front part. The fields below and in the mountains are decorated with tiny little ones that look like funny little circles, which can only be seen under the sun and only in the brightest light. In the field below there is the printer's logo, above which there are virtual control keys.

At the center above the smartphone display there is a speaker, the right hand from which you can use the front camera lens, as well as light level sensors.

Vikonana aluminum back cover of Huawei Mate 8 of unknown type. It has a specially customized plastic insert of the same color as the body I will install.

In the center of the rear panel, you can view the head camera located in aluminum disc, Embellished with glitter edging. On the left there is a light-emitting diode camera, under which there is a fingerprint sensor with a glossy bevel.

The right side of the smartphone is equipped with a food activation key and a “rocker” for adjusting the volume level.

The left side is equipped with an openable tray for 2 nano-SIM cards.

At the top end of the Huawei Mate 8 there is a 3.5 mm audio output and an opening for the microphone.

At the central part of the bottom end there is a micro-USB port, on the sides of which there are a pair of grilles symmetrically arranged, under which there are microphones and audio speakers.

It’s also a standard embellishment for Huawei smartphones - a pair of star-shaped gwents.

display

Mate 8 trimmed to 6 inches IPS matrix with FullHD resolution (1080 × 1920). The pixel density level should be set to 368 dots per 1 inch. Compared to competitors' devices, some of which have a value exceeding 500, Huawei Mate 8 looks weak, so we evaluate not the numbers, but the brightness of the screen itself. There may be some chips in the fonts, or pixelation here is impossible without a magnifying glass. This is not exactly the right approach in terms of image, but in terms of ease of use everything is excellent.

The unique touch surface of Huawei Mate 8 can recognize 10 one-hour messages. You can handle the device with mittens if you want and without special handholding, but, at any time, you can accept it or you can send a call.

The maximum brightness of the screen is 490 cd/m2, and the lowest brightness is 49 cd/m2. Regardless of the presence of special brightness and the presence of a polarizing filter, you can comfortably use the device in bright light aphids.

The lowest level of the black field is 0.33 cd/m2, which is very bad for the Republic of Kazakhstan. The level of contrast is at the same level - 1310: 1. The use of RK, and not more than the current AMOLED, has led to the fact that the brightness of the contrast image is more pleasing, less great than on a small screen.

The situation with the color of the screen of Huawei Mate 8 is the same. Gamma reaches a value of 2.11, which is not fatal against the standard of 2.2. However, the average DeltaE improvement of 5.37 is not encouraging. This difference is explained by the fact that the color girth completely exceeds the sRGB norms.

The color temperature of the Huawei Mate 8 screen is 7500K, which is “colder” than the standard 6500K. This is not critical, once configured, you can easily switch color profiles, adjusting them to your taste.

Miraculously, I look at Wikonian in the strictest traditions of IPS: however, with proper attention to the perpendicular, the color does not matter, and the contrast drops slightly.

sound

Regardless of the pair of decorative grilles placed on the lower end of the Huawei Mate 8, there is only one speaker under them, the borderline loudness of which is not surprising. The microphone angle is 125°, which is extremely important with a close-range connection.

In headphone settings there is an option to enhance DTS sound. The sound quality in the headphones is good. The Music add-on can create files in the FLAC format.

You can listen to the radio through an FM tuner; to operate this track, connect a drone headset that functions like a short-haired antenna. The presence of 3 microphones allows you to clearly record sound from an additional voice recorder with a highly effective noise suppression system in the special “Interview” and “Zustrich” modes.

cameras

The main camera of the Huawei Mate 8 has a 16-megapixel Sony IMX298 sensor, the limiting aperture of the lens is f / 2.0. The LED photographic lamp is designed to illuminate the photographed object in continuous and pulse modes.

With the vertical orientation of Huawei Mate 8 on the main screen, you can see camera settings icons, go to the menu for switching modes and changing cameras (head / front).

In the line of the lower edge there are 5 lines for special lifting modes:

• “Hourly break”;
• "Video mode";

• "Embellishment";
• "Svetlo."

The alternation between these modes occurs using an additional horizontal scroll across the surface of the screen. Below are a row of icons for clicking on the menu of all filters, special effects and going to the gallery, as well as the shutter key.

There are 9 items in the special shooting modes menu:

• “Research of texts”;
• "Audio notes";

The pro mode provides a manual option for setting photo-taking parameters, such as the appearance of icons, scaled by size. Behind another similar scale, you select parameters for your own adjustments, including: white balance, focus type, exposure compensation, brightness, ISO sensitivity level. If necessary, this scale can be turned off without any need by clicking the arrows.

For help, go to the main menu of video and photo shooting parameters, you can adjust the proportion of frames and resolution. Other points are related to all the additional capabilities of autofocus, freezing of screen and physical keys.

The Huawei Mate 8 camera can miraculously take pictures in auto mode in good lighting. Bad frames can be removed during night photography. In the most flexible minds, for highly effective borrowing, it is best to use a professional mode. In the special mode called “Light”, for clear capture you need special accessories - a tripod and a clamp.

The head camera is designed to take panoramas at high distances and has a very good exposure option around the taken frames. ale given the program It is not possible to collect from the middle and foreground all objects that quickly moved.

In the “Focus” special mode, you can take photographs in a special, original, SPECIAL FORMAT. This whole system consists of several photographs, which allows you to turn on correction of the photo shooting distance and record photographs in separate files while working with captured photographic material.

The front camera is equipped with an 8-megapixel sensor and a lens with strictly fixed photofocus without photoshoot. Its light intensity is f/2.4. She copes well with photographing self-portraits, clearly, clear photographs with competent color reproduction in daylight.

Memory and memory card

The smartphone comes in two versions: with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal memory and with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory.

We are looking at the Huawei Mate 8 with 32 GB and 3 GB of RAM. With 32 GB of internal memory, no more than 24 GB are available. Let me remind you that the protests in due time Mate 7 Mav is less than 16 Gb. The memory of the Mate 8 can be increased by inserting a 128 GB micro-SD / XC / HC memory card instead of another SIM card (the previous model had 64 GB). In addition, supported by special USB-OTG technology, it is possible to connect and flash drives.

The device supports Smart Dial and Russian language, it has a lot of customization of phone behavior, firmware programs for greater privacy, starting with notes and ending with a file manager.

pouch

Having carried out a detailed examination of the Huawei Mate 8, we can say that it is truly a balanced smartphone, entirely worthy of its flagship status. A heavy filling does not require this device to function autonomously for three hours.

Other advantages of this flagship include a compact and beautiful body, narrow frames around the screen, stand-alone camera With an optical stabilization system, the fingerprint scanner operates quickly.

The only downside is that the Huawei Mate 8 is priced at $800. The screen size is low for a flagship smartphone and the lack of a nearby memory card slot is not a big deal.
