IFA 2015: What does the Huawei to offer Mate S? – PC World

Huawei tries as cheap Chinese manufacturers increasingly closely to gain ground in Europe, and a good way for this is to stabbing the better of Apple. Trying the manufacturer also with the Mate S, its new smartphone presented during the IFA fair.

The Mate S is the successor to the Mate 7, but also very much like the P8 which was released in May.

Knuckle-login

The unit (with 5.5 “screen) has a few useful additions such as an enhanced” knuckle-tool “which we already saw in the p8. It lets you take a screenshot with your knuckle on the Tapping screen, but in the Mate 7, which function much more extensive. So can you do with a letter drawing on the screen so you can immediately access the camera or the chat app. It works pleasantly well, and it is surprising how Huawei a knuckle able to distinguish a finger.

Good fingerprint scanner

The fingerprint scanner on the back is better because you can now also use it through your notifications or you to scroll through photos. That works especially pleasant – the scanner is a logical place under the camera, and moves smoothly along the surface with your finger

Forced Force Touch

However, the Force Touch feature that allows Huawei makes a mistake, because despite what the company would have us believe that function does not come to the Netherlands. Huawei showcased Force Touch during his presentation, which it wants to show that screen printing is sensitive.

This gives you a picture just tap, but if you harder pressed hem you in the picture right in.

This is exactly the same feature that Apple in its new iPhones and iPads wants to introduce – but that does not happen until next week, and Huawei is earlier. Beautiful views of them!



Not available

Except that the Force Touch function is not available next week. The ‘normal’ Level S (in 32 GB or 64 GB version) will not Force Touch: This is reserved for a larger version with 128 GB, but Huawei can not yet say when there is. Moreover, the device does not come to Europe, so we can not take advantage of it at all.

Dishonest

This makes the presentation of Huawei quite cheap, and not entirely honest. Nor is it the only time the Apple company takes the measure during the presentation, because in each instance the Size S is compared to the iPhone – it is smaller, thinner, has a better camera … That is not bad, because you should simply have a reference, but certainly with the mirroring Force Touch (also shamelessly has the same name as Apple’s function) the company makes us happy with a sham.

Add the fact that the company very borrows from its competitor from Cupertino, with virtually the same design (the back seems very much like the iPhone).

(No) good phone?

Is the Size S not a good phone? That it is not. The device feels by its metal casing securely, works quickly by a good processor and lots of memory, has a rock-solid camera and a dozen additional features.



Time

However, the device has a decent price from € 649 euros, making it not quite live up to the title of’goedkope Chinese smartphone’.
