One year and a half has finally brought the new generation flagship Huawei Huawei Mate 8. The award of the promised products in addition equipped with the latest chip unicorn 950 outside in the design process, the camera specifications, network experience, system functions, etc. inner dimensions have been significantly upgraded.

Fine details of the design of the fuselage
In order to highlight the feeling of high-end business, Huawei Mate 8 still uses integrated aerospace aluminum material metal body, the overall shape and Mate S recently released similar, but compared to Huawei Mate 7 is obviously a lot of refinement.
Fuselage biggest change is added to the current mainstream of the screen 2.5D curved glass, beautiful and also take into account the operating feel. The front panel of the convergence process of the better side of the metal frame, and the upper and lower sides of the glass panel interior adds a striped drawing, when the reflective look conspicuous.
Mate 8 equipped with a positive 6 inches 1080P screen size and resolution, and consistent Mate 7, but the actual experience can be felt down the brightness of this screen has been improved, and the color gamut saturation when viewed from different angles of the screen let me satisfaction. Another factor to enhance the visual experience of Huawei Mate 8 ultra-narrow design, the overall ratio has been reduced border width Mate 7. So although the screen size is larger, but the phone itself is good control measurements to ensure holding grip.
Back design follows the Huawei Mate S design logic, is still a simple main. Back with a slightly protruding surface of the fuselage 16 million pixel rear camera, increasing the ring decorative effect, but Mate 7 more than the well-being of dual-flash, after blasting back flexible feel than the previous Mate 7 smooth. In the bottom of the camera is circular fingerprint recognition module.
Attention to detail is another improvement 8 Mate, the more obvious the speaker and microphone bottom of the fuselage symmetrical design, still equipped with Micro USB interface, compared Mate 7 at the bottom of an asymmetric design and a speaker placed in the back of the fuselage beneath the logic strong a lot.
Overall, the Mate 8 Mate 7 compared to the design that has been raised for more details. While the average consumer, it is hard to quickly separated Mate 8 with the previous generation product area, but if you look closely, you will notice improvements to the internal work, and therefore the upgrade process, I prefer to Mate 8 is defined as a successful facelift products.
However, such a so important for Huawei's products, there is still room for improvement in the design, such as the front fuselage is very clear border glue black border. In addition, as high-end products, Huawei Mate 8 do not know why not use USB Type-C interface that is a bit small regret it.
Increasing the fingerprint area
Mate 8 just mentioned also equipped with a new fingerprint identification module. Round fingerprint region will feel more comfortable when you place your finger, or vary it in fact beautiful. But I personally feel that the square design is still stronger than the rounded business sense. Another point is the circular effectively identify the area to be larger, but also more shallow recessed depth than before.
Huawei Mate fingerprint 8 is given more features, in addition to unlocking basis, it can now also be used to quickly take pictures, to answer the call and stop the alarm, etc., and internal functions supports Huawei your application lock, enter the account. Fingerprint recognition accuracy quickly, especially the rapid quenching screen unlocked state over and unlocked speed. Also high efficiency input a fingerprint, generally five times repeatedly pressed on the line.
Performance enhancements unicorn 950
Today, chip makers throughout the industry as if into a few dominate. Qualcomm, MediaTek, Orion became the first choice for most manufacturers. However, Huawei has its own core technology is based on the fundamental. This also allows unicorn 950 chip became Mate killer selling point 8. Before publishing Mate 8, Huawei While chip and even held a separate press conference, Huawei is easy to see the degree of attention unicorn 950.
Kirin 950 processor using 16-nanometer process technology, the internal use of the Big.LITTLE size core architecture, contains four large and four small core Cortex A72 core Cortex A53, considered to be the oldest commercial market, ARM Cortex A72 processor. While this processor with GPU and is ARM Mali-T880 MP4. For now, though on the ARM CPU architecture has obvious advantages, but compared to the old Adreno GPU, PowerVR and so there is a certain performance gap.
In practical we use the latest security Bunny ran sub v6.0 Beta 3 test run, While chip performance has reached 90,570 points. And the experience of actually running unicorn driven operating system 950 also smooth enough to run the big game and will not appear Caton phenomenon, but long-running game back of the camera and fingerprint region will have a certain temperature.
Huawei Mate 8 also upgrade the latest i5 coprocessor, if you often poor indoor positioning signal, then While the chip can help a lot.
Mate Mate slot 8 is different from the mark 7, before Mate 7 uses a dual-slot design, but now Mate 8 is a single slot, dual Nano SIM card dual card dual standby, while Cato II may be Place TF card. Support multi-band network standard on the entire network, which means that in addition to not simultaneously into the two telecom card, other SIM cards can be freely mix.
Battery charge two days of moderate use
I asked around before using Mate 7 users feedback Mate 7 they generally most satisfied with is its endurance. The Huawei Mate 8 is equipped with a 4000mAh capacity battery, reducing the ratio Mate 7 100mAh. But with them and there is not much difference, if we look at the news every day, send and receive micro-channel or look at the video, it is substantially horizontal two days of moderate use of a charge.
In addition to the large battery, Huawei Mate 8 also supports fast charge technology 9V / 2A, the actual need from 0-100% 150 minutes or so. If you're in a hurry, in the case of complete without electricity charging 30 minutes can be filled with about 30-35% of electricity, enough emergency use.
Sample accurate color reproduction
Huawei Mate 8 for the camera is very confident, improve the conference more than one interpretation algorithm. The Mate 8 instead of the 16 million pixel camera, using a stack IMX298 sensor, F2.0 aperture, the size of the photosensitive element 1 / 2.8, and a pixel size of 1.12 microns.
Webcam added almost all of the current "high-handsome rich" camera technology, such as optical image stabilization, phase focusing, etc., but also added a separate module to improve focus speed ISP and ensure color proofs. In addition to automatic mode internal shooting functions can use the professional mode, can manually adjust the metering, ISO, white balance, focus mode, exposure compensation, anyway, with the difficult, but also very intuitive. Basic function or beauty mode, slow motion, streamer shutter, etc., mainly simple enough.
The actual shooting proofs of view, the outdoor environment Huawei Mate accurate color reproduction 8 camera, the picture quality has a certain sense of depth. Indoor white balance accuracy for complex light glare phenomenon does not occur. The shooting macro can also see the obvious bokeh effect. Huawei Mate night shooting speed on a lot of progress. 8, but also thanks to the support anti-shake image quality can be avoided dimmed phenomenon, but the ability to control noise and the amount of light can be further optimized.
The system is very useful new features
Domestic manufacturers a lift system is more contrast system UI is beautiful, but now almost also have their own custom ROM, the basic shape design style. At this competition the more functional service is perfect, and whether to keep up the rhythm of Google released a native system.
Huawei Mate 8 operating system is based on custom EMUI4.0 Android 6.0's, UI on your hard to find too many changes, but I have had some added new services, such as Huawei health can help you record the daily movement status, data or in the form of an icon showing the trajectory and so on.
Safety, Huawei Mate 8 support the anti-Brush mode, which means that if you register Huawei account and turn on the phone back mode, when the phone appears lost, if not Huawei account number and password, then can not properly brush and use. Also, if you frequently use the SD card, increased system security is now a setting in the SD card lock function, SD card is lost, then they do not know the password can not read the contents.
Huawei Mate 7 slot before another point is the quality of the speakers loud speaker is not satisfactory, Huawei Mate 8 则 improved loud sound, when I call in the hands-free case, and was a little far away from the phone, such as 3 meters so, the other party can hear clearly.
In addition, as a business phone, Mate 8 adds a recording pointing playback mode, in simple terms, you can full range of recording, but you can choose to play when the direction specified by listening to recordings, so you can filter unwanted noise up, and this point function can also be used in hands-free mode. If you often go by car speakerphone or a conference call, this feature is very useful.
End of the road require tenacity and persistence
Huawei began to change this year will not allow Mate 7 play alone, join a Mate S to adapt to the high-end market segments. Huawei eyes perhaps Apple iPhone 6s and 6s Plus dual-system strategy is worth emulating marketing strategies. The experienced after Mate 7 and Mate S, in response to the advent of Huawei Mate 8, now Huawei has also become a lot of calm.
In summary, with the appearance of the process 8 Huawei Mate no small progress, intrinsic function better. Kirin 950 processor, better results and a consistent and Mate 7 Mate 8 long life so that you can better balance of business and life. As a replacement, Huawei Mate 8 really well done, it can be said in the forefront of the domestic mobile phone manufacturers in the high-end market.
Price, the Huawei Mate 8 divided into standard and high with the entire network edition, which Standard Edition 3GB memory + 32GB storage space operators agreed to plate priced at 2,999 yuan, a full version is priced at 3,199 yuan Netcom; high with 4GB of memory and 4GB + 64GB storage RAM + 128GB storage version is priced at 3699 yuan and 4399 yuan. Compared Mate S, then the price of 8 to Huawei Mate People lot.
Today, Huawei has stood in the starting line-end market, the next step is a continuation of Huawei Mate made 7 results, but placed in front of Huawei is not easy. Product perspective, Mate 8 from the appearance can only be a small facelift, this will inevitably make that part Mate 7 users do not have much desire to upgrade. And through the entire industry, especially high-end smart phone market increasingly saturated areas, more and more manufacturers began to focus on the introduction of higher quality in low-priced products to enhance the cost-effective, it also increases from the side of the high-end market presence difficulty. Build high brand value is the need to enhance the user's long-term maintenance psychological price expectations, presumably Mate 8 in the forward-end mobile phone market still needs more tenacity and perseverance.
