what's up guys lon here from Android Authority and I'm coming to you live from CES 2016 and we're checking out the Huawei mate 8 this is Wally's latest flagship and they mate line up and just like previous mate devices it is rocking an all-metal build and has a curved back that sits pretty nicely in the hand on the front of the phone is a six inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 so it's a pretty large phone which makes this phone pretty big as well but Huawei has done a really great job of keeping the bezels small so that it doesn't feel like a gargantuan smartphone and the screen actually looks really good despite being 1080p the mate 8 is the first smartphone to run on huawei zone keren 950 processor which has four cortex a 72 cores and four cortex a53 cores in a big little arrangement likely made s there are several different versions of this phone with a single sim option offering three gigabytes of RAM and 32 gigabytes of internal storage while the dual SIM version comes with either three gigs of RAM or four gigabytes of RAM and a 64 gigabyte option on the back to mate has a 16 megapixel camera with f 2.0 aperture optical image stabilization 4k video recording and a dual tone LED flash on the front of the phone is an 8 megapixel selfie camera and it comes with Huawei's Beauty level modes and 1080p full HD video recording below the camera is a built-in fingerprint sensor and Huawei has been doing a killer job with fingerprint sensors lately and the mate 8 is no exception it's extremely fast and unlocks pretty much instantaneously the moment your finger touches the sensor the sensor can also be used as the shutter button to take selfies which is actually a lot more convenient and comfortable than using the on-screen shutter button the May 8 runs on Huawei's new emotion UI version 4.0 which runs on top of android marshmallow and it's very similar to previous versions of emotion UI like previous handsets Huawei has added a range of software features like knuckle sense for cropping images with your knuckles or opening up specific applications split-screen multitasking is also available now via a long press of the recent apps key and it works similarly to what we've seen other smartphones and it's pretty easy to use on the mates large display the whole package is powered by a 4000 milliamp hour battery which always says will last one and a half days for heavy users and over two and a half days for average users for the times when it's running low while we says the rapid charging technology will give you a whole day's worth of usage with just 30 minutes of charging the mate is launching globally in the coming weeks but Huawei hasn't confirmed exactly which countries will get the handset and how much it will cost but that's pretty much going to do it for this quick hands-on look of the Huawei mate 8 it is definitely shaping up to be a pretty solid smartphone for huawei so keep it tuned here to Android Authority for more because we are your source for all things Android and CES 2016
