Huawei's Mate 8's battery life goes on and on, it snaps good photos and has a fast, accurate fingerprint sensor and a loud speakerphone
This ginormous 6-inch phone is just too unwieldy for smaller hands. It has a dim screen and a low resolution compared with other phones
The huge, metal Huawei Mate 8 has plenty of appeal and only minor drawbacks, but it's too expensive to sway fans of large-screen phones from the Nexus 6P or Samsung Galaxy Note 5...

Great fingerprint sensor, Gorgeous large display, Strong battery life
Emotion UI overlay, Fast charging cable not in the box, Ugly speaker grill
Huawei's Mate 8 might not be one of the best known phablets on the market, but it offers solid specs at a more affordable price than its competitors. It's not without faults, but the Mate 8 is one of the best choices if you want a larger Android phone...
Software aside, the Huawei Mate 8 is a great bit of kit. The screen isn't the best on the market, but the premium design, powerful processor and decent camera make for an all-round impressive device. Huawei has already won itself third place in the sma...
Fast fingerprint sensor, Elegant all-metal build, Gorgeous big screen, Useful and fun extra features, Respectable battery life
Emotion UI is annoying, Unattractive black frame around screen
Huawei has a real winner with the Mate 8. It's a strong flagship phablet that could easily take on the likes of Samsung's Note 5, LG's V10, and the iPhone 6S Plus if it made its way to the United States. Its sleek metal design, speedy fingerprint sensor...

If stamina means a lot to you, the Huawei Mate 8 is hard to beat The Mate 8 is pretty similar to the Mate 7. However, it still feels bold in the way it differs from the big phones from other makers. Instead of ramping-up screen resolution, it chooses gre...

Superb battery life, Ace fingerprint scanner, Refined design, Smaller than iPhone 6S Plus (despite having a larger 6in screen), Reasonable camera and stabilisation
Software not always smart (EMUI 4.0 means no app tray, Split screen fairly useless), Screen resolution limitations, Huge size won't suit all
The Huawei Mate 8 is an echo of the Mate 7. But with an added thump of power at its core, the latest software on board and an improved camera, it's all the more appealing. Plus 6-inch phones are becoming increasingly the norm, which ought to further seed...
A 6-inch phablet that has the footprint of a 5.7-inch device and a fine metal build quality, Amazing battery life, Great, always-on fingerprint reader, DualSIM capabilities on a flagship phone, Class-leading fine grain control over the information and rig
Camera and camcorder are less than stellar (and there is no 2160p 4K video recording)
The Huawei Mate 8 may very well be the best 6-inch smartphone you can pick up today, but that's only if you are after a 6-inch smartphone specifically. The phone certainly makes a very compelling case for itself. It starts with the display, which boasts h...
The Huawei Mate 8 may very well be the best 6-inch smartphone you can pick up today. But it is the specific stipulations in that wording that hide a few caveats.For one, Huawei's largest phablet this season is among a select few flagships that venture pas...
