Опубликовано 15 января 2016, 12:12

Here comes my hands-on on the Huawei Mate 8 Also known as Huawei Ascend Mate8 ! Mate 8 Review coming soon.

Huawei's all-metal, 6-inch Mate 8 has a lot going for it, especially its long-lasting battery and high camera quality. After all, those are two things almost anyone would look for in a phone. But unfortunately the handset's price tag is too steep to close the deal -- €600 for the 32GB version and €700 for the 64GB model. Those numbers translate to roughly $650 and $760; £450 and £525; and AU$932 and AU$1,087.

The Mate 8 isn't expected to come to the US. Read more here: cnet.com/products/huawei-mate-...
