The device, with a price of 499 euros, is made of aluminum, which his predecessor had a glass back.
The build quality of the P8 is good, though the design is less tight than its competitors. The device of the metal is treated so that it properly glistens, and the on / off button on the side has been a striking pattern that falls from the tone of the rest of the device.
In addition, the will bottom of the P8 less beautiful because of the unfriendly-looking speaker holes and USB port, in the two screws.
Although the unit is made of one piece of aluminum, with the edges beautiful polished edges, is the camera the unit on a glass bar that disrupts the uniformity of appearance somewhat. It would have been nicer if it was not necessary

Screen
While many manufacturers recently devices with QHD screens (2540 by 1440 pixels) have released, Huawei keeps it in full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels). That looks this good size and the screen seems to stand his ground well, although it is the brightness at first sight a bit.
Perhaps the lower resolution contributes to a longer battery life. Huawei also promises that the battery will last longer by preventing battery guzzling activities apps. This will later be seen.
The performance of the P8 appear to be fine, all future tests will have to confirm that further. With 3 GB RAM and a processor octacore P8 on paper at any rate is impressive, especially for this price.
Software
Huawei’s software has retained its characteristic appearance. That is, app-icons in various unsightly styles are available. A beautifully designed theme software is not delivered on the P8

However, there are several useful additions done. Thus, it is made possible to make a screenshot by tapping twice with a knuckle on the screen. It works surprisingly well and I managed not to confuse the software with a simple finger touch.
Especially in the camera software Huawei launches by adding own functions. Last year was a highlight funny panoramaselfiemodus in the Ascend P7, and this time not Huawei resets disappoint with a time-lapse mode that can also be used to accelerate selfiefilmpjes

Another new addition is the “Light Painting Fashion”, which offers a slow shutter speed to create lighting points to emphasize in a photograph. This can be fun if you’re gonna want to shoot a busy traffic point, but it is unclear how often the feature would actually come in handy in everyday life.
Camera
The photographs the P8 seem good at first, especially if they come from the 13-megapixel camera on the back. In addition to a real top model like that in the Galaxy S6 however still get the pictures a lot less nice about it. This is particularly the case in backlit, Huawei already stated during the presentation of the P8 that the unit is precisely in that situation should perform better

The notification screen P8 is divided into two tabs: one with notficaties, which opens by default, and a separate rapid institutions. It is unfortunate that the settings are accessible only with an extra click, where other Android versions and notifications in the settings managed to combine a glance.
Well handy a list of shortcuts that can emerge from the unlock screen conjured by swiping upwards. In this survey, which looks suspiciously like the control of iOS, may include fast camera or flashlight start.
Preliminary conclusion
The Huawei P8 is certainly at first sight not a perfect device. The build quality is good, but in the details the design could have been a lot better. The software has a few useful features, but remains ugly and confusing in places.
However, the P8 hardware is impressive, making the smartphone might still be attractive even for a relatively small price of 500 euros. Huawei will thus be able to maintain its position as a prize fighter in the smartphone market
