Huawei's intention for the V8 to be a platform for virtual reality is clear, as it was announced that the device will feature a professional eye protection technology for the screen, which is ideal for watching movies or playing games in the long run, as it has a special cinema mode when the phone is laid horizontally, along with stereo speakers to enhance the overall viewing experience. On the other hand, the 3D fingerprint technology prevents fake fingerprint payment, and also unlocks the device faster, though it's not known how fast it can unlock.
For the dual cameras, it's exactly the same as the P9 series except that there are no words whether Leica was involved.
