I'm Andrew Hoyle 50 net and I'm here taking a look at the soiree p8 it's always latest affordable flagship phone that squashes a full HD display and a good camera into a solid skinny metal body the design is certainly the headline feature of this phone come on it's extremely slim and it's made entirely from metal with a one-piece design now that helps make the p8 feel very secure when you're holding it in one hand not to mention it makes it feel a whole lot more premium than a lot of Huawei's other phones it's quite attractive to look at - although doesn't quite have the same luxury appeal as the curve in galaxy s6 5.2 inch screen has a full HD resolution which makes techsan icons look crisp and it has good colors - it's a great screen for multimedia and is certainly among the best displays available in the mid price range turning on the latest Android lollipop software but Huawei has customized it so heavily you really can't tell Huawei has changed everything from the color schemes and the fonts to the app icons as well but the biggest change is that there's no app tray instead all your apps are scattered among multiple home screens amongst your widgets I don't like this as it's very easy for it to become quite cluttered a 13 megapixel camera sits on the back of the phone which I found capable of taking some really good looking shots down low range and colors are both nicely balanced although there is a lack of detail when you zoom in the Facebook and Instagram snaps though it's more than fine it also has a cool night mode for taking shots of light trails in the dark the p8 delivers a solid all-round experience with a good camera and a vibrant display all wrapped up in an attractive metal body and it doesn't charge the air for it either if you've been eyeing up the latest crop of flagship phones but can't quite sum up the high prices the p8 is a much more affordable option that doesn't force you to compromise on features or performance I'm Andrew Coyle CNET and I'm here with the Huawei p8
