[Mate 8 General] XDADEVX:
benchmarks are useless I don't buy smartphone because of pointless benchmarks ..

p8 isn't faster or smother because of ram but because of better and faster cpu and + not much crapware and usage was on that phone what you tried .. mine mate 7 has 2gb and is still fast .. restarting phone is within second .. turning phone off straight away .. no problem

I kind of don't like p8 because from strange reason huawei made so ugly thick black border around the LCD so horrible .. on P7 is nice and slim barely seen..

I am still searching for P8 carbon black and nobody never mentioned it or nobody selling it ... only been showed on first day open in london

gpu is fine I don't play games ..
[Mate 8 General] bluelavender:
Carbon black is widely available in my region, in south east asia. It is the golden one that has not come out yet. Gold one is only available in China currently
[Mate 8 General] XDADEVX:
Not many gold editions either true ..

but this guys has it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpN5Uvv1ynY&ab_channel=EsperienzaMobile

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8X6sycoXgz4&ab_channel=CNET

can you give me link of real carbon black edition of P8 please ?

thnx
[Mate 8 General] tixoo:
looks nice, looks my current mate 7, right now it will be down for me to huawei nexus, mate 8 and p8 max ... but p8 max in europe is really hard to find especially the gold edition that i am after, and i am willing to wait and see the huawei nexus and the mate 8 before i decide if i want to switch mt mate 7, but i am definitely not going lower than 6` as they are getting to little for me for some strange reason :D

Hi,

it's Huawei Mate7 Plus

[IMG="Huawei Mate 8"]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CLexHTlUEAAxE9u.png[/IMG]

And video!

[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
It is fake.

It uses the same GPU as Mate 7. If this was real we would have seen Mali-T860 or Mali-T628 in the specs.

However I think it will be hard to put out Mate 8 in time because of the Kirrin 950 delay...

I think really all we get this year is the Mate 7 Plus.

And for already Mate 7 owners it is doubtful people want to upgrade.

Plus versions have also an tendency to even less software updates..

The highest hope this year is Huawei Nexus with Snapdragon 820.

Unfortunately this cpu seem to be nothing good but more of an desperate attempt to catch up

with exynos by overclocking already old design. In terms of performance Snapdragon 820 will not be better then samsung S6.

And 820 will most likely have heating problems. However because of the Nexus brand with can be guaranteed a smoth experience.
[Mate 8 General] TheLoneWolf20:
AMOLED is NOT superior. The Colors are over saturated. I had a HTC one and I compared it to the Note 4 and while the Note 4 IS sharper, the Colors on the HTC one look more realistic and natural.
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
saturation is not the AMLOED technology to blame it is how the screens are calibrated... they are saturated with intention cause it simply looks more pleasing to the eye.. however... if you edit photos etc or want to watch photos on a more professional level you should make sure the screen are good calibrated..

Note 4 is AMOLED, and Note 4 is the best screen on the market when it comes to colour accuracy, just use google and you will see, the Note 4 has the best color accuracy on any smartphone released and it is even better then Iphone 6 in terms of accurucy so your argument about AMOLED tehnology is saturated is simply groundless.

The reason why not AMOLED is standard is because LCD are cheaper and there is also a lot more companies who create them while AMOLED is still only a few players.. and smartphones are often released in very big numbers so.. there is a lot to consider when you choose screen technology.

Why LG is not using amoled in their phones are still a mustery to me though considering they are far ahead when it comes to OLED television.
[Mate 8 General] TheLoneWolf20:
Its not really an Argument. Just because someone doesn't like something doesn't ALWAYS make it an argument. AMOLED is junk in my opinion. Colors that look fake and over processed to me is NOT appealing and makes the content on the device look like crap. IPS LCD Screens are more truer. But hey, if you like AMOLED Screens, that's you, but many people prefer IPS LCD screens for that very reason, despite the lower battery performance. The LG Monitors use IPS Screens and they look MUCH MORE realistic and truer than AMOLED. It made me stop in my tracks when I saw the images being produced with that screen.
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
You seem to live in the blue some what... it is true amoled in the past have been known for being saturator, but I say again READ all professional reviews of the Note 4 screen it i has no fake colours however what you might call saturation is good contratast ratio and good black levels.. which make colours pop because of contrast ratio..
[Mate 8 General] TheLoneWolf20:
To be honest, Professional reviews to me don't mean anything to me as Its all in personal preference, Just like benchmarks. Benchmarks don't really matter when it comes to everyday usage. Not everyone likes colors popping on their phones. Most people like natural looking screens that reveal a more realistic color tone, one that doesn't require you going into settings and tweaking color ranges. IPS LCD screens bypasses that very thing. Yeah true the AMOLED screens may reveal more colors on the color gambit and yeah AMOLED screens have better blacks, but a lot of the colors can't even be perceived by the human eye. And to be honest, a lot of that stuff is only for people that watch videos or movies on their phones and unless you don't put different phones with different screen technologies side by side, if you watched a whole season of a TV Show, you would hardly notice a difference and you will still be wowed by either or display. Battery life is better on AMOLED Screens, but in my for say, a 6 inch screen regardless of Technology is going to burn a Helluva lot of battery power. Which explains the massive 4,000 mAH batteries. LiPo batteries might improve that.
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
It is all about color calibration! AMOLED is closer to reality because the higher contrast ratio.

While on LCD it always feel like you are watching the screen thru a filter that makes all greyish in stead of blackish.
[Mate 8 General] isisky:
This is colmpletly untrue

S820 don't use an Old architecture, it uses à modified version of arm, something that has been working very well on part CPU they made, and you can't possibly tell if there will be heating problem only because s810 had, every manufacturer of cpu had one which had heating problem, that's usualy something unusual and probably won't be the case on s820 wich only have 4 cpu instead of 8 on s810
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
Official news of the 820 is out.. And it is official from Qualcomm that 820 will not be released until 2016

New photos of Mate 8.

Looking pretty nice apart from rear facing speaker. Love the thin bezels tho :)
[Mate 8 General] gee2012:
Not a big improvement imo as far as i see design wise, specs will be better though but don`t know if its worth the upgrade :)

The mate 7 is still a great phone atm.

here some new leaks..that looks very real.
[Mate 8 General] phrozenflame:
Lollipop, EMUI 4 for HM8.

I dont think they will release lollipop for us until 2-3 months after the mate 8 is in market.

From outside it looks same, sure, specs would be better, but day to day usage would be more or less the same unless there's software differences.

Huawei mate S launched today
[Mate 8 General] H. Clarkson:
Some new information about the Mate 8...

Huawei Mate 8 release date said to come in late November or early December
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
Sounds good I am ready to fork out my cash... I hope it will be same size as Mate 7..

Hopefully not bigger atleast. I do not want a 6.3 device.
[Mate 8 General] ronnie72:
6.0 inch 1440p display, new Kirin 950 chipset, new GPU - ARM Mali-T880.

I expect amoled screen this time around
[Mate 8 General] XDADEVX:
The new news now saying completely different rumors..

No QHD

No 20mpx

No 4gb ram

So there is no change at all ..

And it is gonna be more expensive than mate s so ..

Huawei getting greedy same as apple or sony or samsung..

Now interesting china phones are letv , oukitel , elephone,

Cheap and same performance..
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
Well maybe they will release different versions..

I think the only thing that we can be sure about is that the camera and finger print scanner will circular

and that the screen will be a edge design, if they have a edge design they must use amoled since it is flexible unlike LCD.

if this is true ti biggest chance is it samsung, nexus 60 have latest version generation of samsung amoled... lets see if Huawei Mate 8 will get that too..

But considering it is 6 inch it might be possible they where forced to choose an other producer, note series is 5.7 so it means already produced screens could be used

6 inch would mean that samsung would need to produce new screens just for mate 8.
[Mate 8 General] XDADEVX:
Really don't understand why huawei ditched IPS .. repaced with AMOLED.. I prefer IPS .. it is whiter and brighter.. probably save battery bcos AMOLED is dimmer
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
Samsungs latest amoled panels in Note and s6 Edge are the best displays right now hands down, and they are white and bright

But I think we have had this discussion before... but it is a general consensus that these displays are superior right now..

And you talk abut white personally I can'y stand the greyish black which I am allergic too it takes away all beauty of of the screen..

Blacks are more important

Pretty excited about release. Hopefully Mate 8 works well in US. Are folks that use Mate 7 in US pretty happy with performance, data and so forth? What US carriers generally worked best with Mate 7? Thanks!
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
yes you are right, but I am sorry I think I can bet my left foot on that it will be amoled...

Especially considering Mate S have it

---------- Post added at 01:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 AM ----------

For such large display as 6 inches the pxiels gets kind of big, so In all honest for Mate 8 I would not mind 2k amoled.

One other bonus is if it is 2K it will be more VR headset friendly isnce 1080p never give the optimal experience with VR.
[Mate 8 General] H. Clarkson:
Going by some of the leaked specs so far, other than the processor, the Mate 8 doesn't sound like a huge improvement over the Mate 7.

But I shall stay cautiously optimistic.
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
"As per the report, there will be three models: one with a screen size between 5.5- and 5.7-inch, other having a large 6-inch display, and a third one with a whopping 6.2-inch screen. The base model will have a memory configuration of 3GB/32GB, while the top model will come with 128GB internal memory.

The report also notes that the 6.2-inch model will have a 2K (although that probably means QHD as 2K has never been a phone resolution) display, while the smaller models will feature a 1080p screen. As for the OS, all three models are said to be running Android 6.0 Marshmallow out-of-the-box.

Needless to say, none of this has been officially confirmed by the Chinese company, so take it with a healthy dose of salt."
[Mate 8 General] XDADEVX:
Exactly .. and will be expensive..

I gonna transfer my self to other company MAYBE not 100% gonna see offers next year ..

[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
it looks real.

Most likely no stereo speaekers.. most likely no edge screen unlike the 2k 6.2 inch variant will be an edge model.

Anyway it looks kind of similiar to mate s, but camera lens and finger print reader looks more stylish.

The picture show that it will be no usb c.

I had hoped that mate 8 would had same great speakers as Nexus 6p.

---------- Post added at 02:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:03 PM ----------

Most likely the 5.5 inch variant in close up I am not sure I like the camera lens as much....

Anyway it looks kind of as expected, I expected more it looks just like mate S.

but again mate S was supposed to be Mate 8 but the Kirin 950 was delayed..

Well I expected something more..

[Mate 8 General] kolembo:
I think Huawei is underestimating the need to continually refine design.

It looks very much the same and I doubt people are going to forgive the insistence to remain full HD.

They have to be a little careful now not to get to caught up with their success in build. They're becoming expensive and will have to compete up the ladder now.

The P9 will have to bring something new to the table.
[Mate 8 General] gee2012:
I hope they will bring a cleaner (near stock) android UI with a standard app drawer.
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
We will see about that, it seem what most people want, considering if you do not like stock android UI it is easy to modify to your liking.

But keep in mind former apple GUI cheif, it is unclear how much experience she have with android really, it is safe to assume she have beeen an apple fangirl for a long time and anti android..

1. I see two scenarios, she will try to make it look a lot like IOS.

2. Or she will get over ambitious and try to do radical changes in gui which will most likely slow the phone donw.

3. She will go the minimalistic route.

What talk against the 3rd alternativ and what most people want is you need no Abigail Sarah Brody to be as minimalistic and stock as possible.

But we will see... the new phones will be shipped with Marshmellow, that gives maybe an indication since they are fast to adapt to it that the changes maybe are more on the minimalistic side... lets hope so...

The most important part is that we get the standard multitasking functionality with the cards you can drag up and down like standard lollipop.

If they fail to adapt to this it will affect and handicap the whole device

I must admit my biggest worry is that the screen will not be Amoled.

If there will be multiple versions I hope the 2k one have amoled or atleast some of the varaints.

latest rumour suggest 6000mah graphene based battery with the fast super charging on the market (huaweis own technology)

I read a rumour about dual sim but hopefully that means it will be on all versions and on all markets.. it is kind of nice..

Huwaei is holding back information it seem they are planning an international release in CES January.

So this might not be all they have to offer.

The biggest and only real disspointment is that it seem to have no amoled screen.

I took that for granted since Mate S have and 6P have plus their plans of using edge screens like samsung.

Otherwise the phone look very attractive but the screen was a major disappointment..

it could just mean we have a very similiar screen to what we already have in Mate 7.

Sure we can choose Mate S but it does not that good hardware and is expensive..

[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
I wonder if the internatioanl models that is presented in januari if they will differ ?

I did expect an amoled screen since Mate S have one. I read about the manufacturing cost was more expensive then Iphone 6plus so I expect an amoled screen for that reason.

The rumour about the 2k display ? the rumors of 3 different sizes, 5.5,6.0 and 6.2 will they be reality ?

For eager buyers who want to buy directely now from china should please consider this...

Also Huawei announcement was kind of strange... and very "minimal and silent" did not make a big buzz about it...

Hopefully this mean they have more to offer in January.

The most biggest disappointment is the screen. What it seem is it has the same screen as mate 7. I have not waited 1 year to have the same screen.

I really hope an amoled version will be released... the difference is astronomical in experience..
[Mate 8 General] AsterMK:
I hope Huawei has improved with their support, because it varies wildly depending on market right now.

Some Honor 6 variants will get 6.0 Marshmallow, but some variants are stuck at 4.4.2 and EMUI 2.3,
