News & Reviews:   Huawei P8 specification

Huawei have upped the teaser ante this time by releasing a video titled "Capture the wonder of light". This obviously refers to the upcoming Huawei P8, widely expected to arrive on 15 April 2015. However, the tech specs that the P8 are expected to come with consist of an octa-core Kirin 935 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB storage, a 5.2-inch display, 13MP rear camera, 8MP front camera and 3000 mAh battery. Focusing on the teaser, with the megapixels set at probably 13MP we are expecting that the camera sensor will be large or it it has something to do with the lens aperture or a better image signal processing chip, allowing both cameras to capture light in the dark better. This should enable better low-light shots, but nothing has really been confirmed just yet. This includes Malaysia release dates and pricing but we're expecting the Huawei P8 to go for around RM1600 or so. Check out the video for yourself in this article.

While the Huawei P8 has yet to be revealed officialy, the leaks about this upcoming flagship smartphone just keep on coming. This time around, a factory schematic or blueprint has been leaked by @Onleaks showing the back, sides and top of the upcoming Huawei smartphone. The schematics also reveal measurements which include 144.9 x 71.9 x 6.6mm. Other rumoured tech specs include a Kirin 930 processor, 3GB RAM, 5.2-inch full HD display, 2600 mAh battery and 13MP rear camera. The schematics also reveal dual speakers on the bottom and what appears to be either a touch control or finger print scanner on the back. The drawings make it seem as if it is a swipe type of fingerprint scanner unlike the one-touch scanner on the Huawei Mate 7 but we'll know for sure in the next few weeks.

The upcoming Huawei P8 has been spotted ahead of it's expected announcement on 15 April 2015. While the leaked pic is blurry and unclear, it does reveal a full metal frame, chamfered edges and a more rounded corner bottom. Previously, the Huawei P7 had a curved bottom which according to them was based on a water drop. The leaked pic looks more like that of the Honor series but the back looks like it will retain the same multi-layer glass cover as before. Previous rumours indicated that there could be a layer of cubic zirconia (artificial diamond) in there as well but it was unclear if it is just the back, front or both. Other rumoured tech specs and features include a Kirin 930 processor, 3GB of RAM, a 5.2-inch 1080p display, dual 13MP cameras and a 2600 mAh battery. Official teasers about the P8 have indicated that it could be stronger, more affordable and have better battery life than it's predecessors but still no news on a Malaysia release date or pricing yet.

Huawei Malaysia recently announced that their Huawei Consumer Business Group has appointed a new Chief Marketing Officer and President of Strategy Marketing Department. To name names, Ms. Glory Zhang has been appointed Chief Marketing Officer of the Huawei Consumer Business Group while Mr. Shao Yang takes over as the President of Strategy Marketing Department for the Huawei Consumer Business Group. Both have various business successes under their belts and are set to help Huawei's smartphone business continue to grow exponentially. The transition of both is expected to be completed in April 2015, ready for the release of new smartphones like the upcoming Huawei P8, which is expected to be announced at an event on 15 April 2015.

After the previous Huawei P8 teaser indicating a better battery life, more such teasers have appeared indicating other new features. These include a cracked screen image indicating a stronger screen on the P8, a better camera, a better price and compatiblity with wearables like the recent Huawei TalkBand B2. Perhaps the last image could also indicate that the Huawei P8 gets released along with the Huawei TalkBand B2. So far, the teasers do not confirm anything but most rumours indicate that the P8 will offer tech specs that include a  octa-core Kirin 930 processor, 3GB RAM, 32GB storage, 5.2-inch full HD display and 13MP camera with dual LED flash and OIS. Set for announcement on 15 April 2015, we shouldn't have to wait long to find out for sure.

The Huawei P series of smartphones are more known for their performance and super thin chassis but the upcoming Huawei P8 could well get a new power saving feature, at least according to Huawei themselves. Huawei recently released a teaser image for the upcoming Huawei P8 which suggests that it could have a new power-saving feature. Considering that the Huawei Ascend P6 and Ascend P7 were both quite thin, it would be safe to assume that the P8 would also be thin and not likely to pack in a large battery. This means the teaser could indicate a more efficient method of extending battery life than before, perhaps even getting 2 days worth of battery life in a single charge. The teaser does not reveal anything else like other tech specs, Malaysia release dates or pricing but many are expecting the Huawei P8 to arrive on 15 April 2015 with an octa-core Kirin 930 processor, 3GB RAM, 32GB storage, 5.2-inch full HD display and 13MP camera with dual LED flash and OIS. Stay tuned for more developments.

Set for announcement at MWC 2015, leaked pics of the Huawei P8 have surfaced, showing bits and pieces of the smartphone encased in a casing of some sort. The casing hides much but we expect the P8 to be thinner than the P7 and have a mostly metallic body. Huawei have indicated that they would be doing more premium products so tech specs and features for the P8 should probably be high-end as well. No confirmed tech specs yet but the P8 is expected to get a 2GHz Kirin 930 processor, 3GB RAM, 64GB storage, 5.2-inch display with 1080 x 1920 pixel resolution, 13MP rear camera, 8MP front camera and Android 5.0. Early AnTuTu benchmarks reveal a score of 47426, which is about as high as the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. No Malaysia release dates or pricing details yet but we should find out more next week.

A few days back, a leak said that Huawei's upcoming flagship for 2015, the Huawei P8 could be released in April 2015. Now, a new report from a Chinese website reveals more tech specs and features about the device. The Huawei P8 is said to feature a new material, possibly zirconia ceramics instead of the traditional plastic and metal housing. The device would be further protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3 on both the front display and the rear panel. Coming to the tech specs, the P8 flagship is expected to feature the company's new octa-core Kirin 930 processor based on a 16nm HiFet manufacturing process. There is no word on the RAM or the internal storage of the upcoming device. As for the display, the phone will most likely sport a 5.2-inch IPS panel with 1920 x 1080p resolution. Like its predecessor, the Huawei P7, this new smartphone will be thin, measuring only about 6mm in thickness. In comparison, the P7 was 6.5mm thick. The report says that Huawei will bring its dual camera setup on its new flagship as well. Considering the thickness, the phone will reportedly feature a rather small 2600 mAh battery. The same source further reveals that the Huawei P8 will retail for around 2999 Yuan (RM1710) in China but there are no exact Malaysia release dates just yet.

Recent reports said that Huawei had a great 2014. Now, the company is all set to announce a number of devices in the first and second quarters of this year. A few days back, the upcoming Huawei flagship called the Huawei P8 was spotted on twitter. From the images, the device looked like a prototype model. The phone had a very thin profile with super slim bezels and overall, it looked quite well built. According to the source, the Huawei P8 will feature tech specs such as an octa-core Kirin 930 chipset with 3GB RAM. There will be a 5.2-inch display up front, with full HD 1080p resolution. Given the flagship status, the phone is said to come with a 13MP camera at the back with OIS (Optical Image Stabilization). The battery will be just average, around 2600 mAh which could be due to the phone's thin profile. Earlier, it was rumored that the phone could be announced at MWC 2015, however, latest reports indicate that Huawei will hold a special event in April to release its flagship. The rumored high-end Huawei D8 with 5.5-inch 2K display and Kirin 950 processor may also make an appearance at said event.
