Featuring an all metal frame, the straight yet curvy Huawei P8 looks and feels like a premium smartphone despite its RM1799 pre-order pricing. Somehow, Huawei have managed to fit in a phablet-sized 5.2-inch full HD 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution display into the body of a smartphone with a 4.7-inch display. Flat and compact at just 6.4mm thin, the P8 is fairly light as well at just 144g. We managed to get some hands-on time with the Huawei P8 and even got to try out it's new always-on voice command function. Check out our Huawei P8 hands-on video in this article.

Despite being priced at RM1799 on pre-order here in Malaysia, the Huawei P8 is without a doubt a very premium smartphone in the flagship class with an all metal body and curved metal sides. This premium quality is even reflected with its premium quality box. We were quite curious to see if this also extended to the contents contained within so we did an unboxing of the Huawei P8 as well. No surprises there but do check out the video in this article for yourself.

The recently announced Huawei P8 is one of the few flagship smartphones in the market being priced for below RM2K. Apart from a Kirin HiSilicon 930 processor its most notable tech spec or feature remains its 13MP RGBW rear camera with OIS or Optical Image Stabilization built in. We recently managed to test out this feature by recording the moon on a moving boat at night at 720p. To top it off, it was done without any tripod. We were certainly impressed but do check out how the Huawei P8 managed for yourself with the video in this article.
