Premium design ; Decent display ; Feature packed camera ; Attractive price

Emotion UI remains ; Slightly laggy performance

The Huawei P8 has all the right ingredients for a top smartphone, but something's not quite gone to plan in the baking stage. The lower price point certainly helps, but the mainstream flagships can rest easy.

Affordable, majority of design is on point, tiny bezel design, microSD card expansion, camera is impressive

EMUI interface annoyances, battery life ought to be better, processor has heat and power consumption issues

Oh Huawei, so near yet oh so far. The P8 has glimmers of brilliance that are marred by sub-par software and, in some scenarios, processor and battery limitations due to heat dissipation. And when an outsider needs to impress right across the board to...

Beautifully made ; Decent camera

Weak battery life ; Emotion UI

We really want to like the P8, but Huawei's best efforts have failed to live up to expectations. It's a beautifully made phone, but battery life and usability pales in comparison to the current crop of competition from Samsung , HTC and LG . The P8 is...

Creative camera features ; High-end design ; Mid-range price ; Solid battery life ; Great screen

Variable battery stamina ; No fingerprint scanner, IR or WiFi ac ; Quirk-tastic software

Huawei's gaining on the smartphone big boys - the P8's not perfect, but at this price it's well worth a look

The Huawei P8 has a bright and bold screen, a sleek, all-metal body, plenty of power and a decent camera.

The camera quality suffers at full screen and Huawei's custom software makes drastic changes to the Android interface which won't appeal to everyone.

The Huawei P8 lacks some of the shine of its flagship phone rivals, but it still delivers an uncompromising mix of features and performance for a far cheaper price.

Strong camera ; Attractive design ; Decent battery life

Software 'funnies' ; No Quad HD screen

Huawei’s P8 is impressive in so many ways. The camera is one of the best around, almost hitting the dizzy heights of Samsung’s Galaxy S6 snapper, while the sleek design and decent battery life are also highlights. However, the myriad of software issues...
