Hands-on with the skinny, metal Huawei P8

2015-04-15
I'm Andrew Hoyle CNET and I'm here taking a close-up look at Weill with the latest flagship phone the p8 now one of the first things you'll notice about this phone is of course its design now this has an all-metal body with these nicely milled edges that feels very very comfortable to hold and certainly a lot more sturdy there's sort of always previous phones it's only six point eight milk is really very skinny so no trouble at all in sliding it into those jeans as well as this gold color it will also come in black as well as gray and the lightest silver color the 5.2 inch screen has a full HD resolution now that isn't quite as high resolution as phones like the Samsung Galaxy s6 but it's more than adequate for apps games and reading texts on webpages does seem reasonably bright and colors seem pretty good too although we'll look at that closer in the full review turning on the latest Android lollipop software although Huawei has thrown his own emotion UI skin over the top now that changes everything from the color scheme should have font and even down to the app icons one big thing that changes is there's no app tray so all your apps are stored across the multiple home screens around the back of the phone is a 13 megapixel camera and Huawei reckons that this has been optimized to capture as much light as possible in low-light situations so if you do like taking photos of your friends put their stupid faces in dingy bars this could be the phone for you on the front of the phone as well you'll find an 8 megapixel camera which is plenty of megapixels to capture it nice and sharp selfies in general the p8 doesn't seem like a bad phone at all it may not have the high-end specs of the galaxy s6 but let's not forget that it does come with a much lower price tag this phone is due to go on sale in the next month and will start at 500 euros which equates to 360 pounds or 530 dollars which is a lot less than some of those competitors I'm Andrew Hoyle fussy net and this is the Huawei p8
