News & Reviews:   Huawei P8

Celcom is currently offering the Huawei P8 from RM438 on their FIRST by Celcom postpaid plans. This includes the new FIRST Basic 38 plan, FIRST Basic 85 plan and FIRST Elite plan with options for 12 months and 24 month contract subscriptions. While the sleek all-metal Huawei P8 is already quite affordable at a retail  pricing of RM1799 the Celcom bundles should offer a bit more value if you're looking for a total package. The FIRST Basic 38 plan for example lets you carry forward unused Internet and an additional 2 movie passes by Escape with an extra RM10 every month. In addition, if you're one of the earlybirds who sign up at the ongoing Huawei P8 roadshow, you could also get a Huawei TalkBand B2 smartband for free.

While there have been rumours about two Google Nexus devices this time around, with both Huawei and LG rumoured to be making one each, neither one has been confirmed. Recently, a report has come out that an unnamed Huawei employee has confirmed the Huawei Nexus phone. According to this source, Huawei and Google are working together to enable many of the Google services in China where Huawei is based (most Google services are banned in China) with possible workarounds or solutions coming up. We expect that Huawei may just replace said services with Baidu and others while the rest of us get the Google-based version. So far, there are no tech specs or features mentioned yet, but the previous rumours indicate a Huawei Nexus with a 5.7-inch 2K display and Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, which seems a bit out of line with the company's stance on full HD displays and use of their own Kirin processors. We expect a flat and thin yet curvy design much like the current Huawei P8 or perhaps a device similar to the Huawei P8 Max. As always, do take this with a grain of salt as neither side have officially confirmed it yet.

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.
