One week with the Huawei Mate S

2015-09-21
they're poised to make one of the next Nexus phones later this month and if there's anything Huawei has proven its good at its hardware I'm high on so Houston of the pocket now and after spending a week with the mate s here's what you can expect for the best of hallway we actually got the maid s about two weeks ago but with the flood of new devices to cover this month we've only just recently had the chance to spend any quality time with it we briefly touched on the phone's hardware at Aoife 2015 and it's still gorgeous and terrifically well-made the chamfered edges lining the aluminum chassis convey a premium look and feel and ran out the sides to make it feel super comfortable to hold the 5.5 inch AMOLED display isn't the sharpest thing we saw at Aoife but at 1080p it's still more than good enough for most people there's a 13 megapixel camera and LED flash around back and sitting underneath is what's possibly the best fingerprint scanner I've ever used it's unbelievably fast even more so than on the galaxy s6 or the iPhone 6 and like the dimple of a moto X it's perfectly positioned right where your index finger naturally gravitates the main s is running android 5.1.1 lollipop with always in motion you eyes sitting over top it's largely unchanged from what we've seen before on the ascend mate 7 or the p8 but while I did make a few improvements to clean up the experience a bit though it was never one of our favorite features knuckle sense now just called knuckle 2.0 now allows you to draw a letter on the screen to quickly launch apps and you can still take screenshots with a double knock the top end model of the made s even allows for pressure sensitivity through force touch and you can way things cool the twenty seven hundred million power battery sealed inside doesn't sound overly impressive on paper but so far it's actually holding up pretty well screen on time and overall longevity is still pending but standby time is terrific and after sitting idle on a table for four days straight it only dropped by about five percent when connected to Wi-Fi it's certainly been enough to last me through the whole day without much trouble but the lack of quick or wireless charging is definitely a bummer the same feeling of good enough is Evoque ting the camera which seems to do pretty well in broad daylight but this isn't anything to write home about of course we'll have plenty of samples in the full review so you can decide for yourself we're gonna have a lot more detail on the main s in our full review coming soon and if you don't want to miss it you should probably hit that subscribe button below you can also visit our website at pocketnow.com for tech news and opinions and engage with us on social media slash pocket now this has been hi out to Houston and until next time thanks for watching
