The Huawei Mate 8, launched on December 9th in China, and features a 6-inch IPS display with a 1080 x 1920 resolution. The aforementioned Kirin 950 chipset carries an octa-core 2.3GHz CPU, and the Mali-T880 MP4 GPU. Three versions of the phone are available. One has 3GB of RAM and 32GB of native storage, priced at the equivalent of $580 USD. Another version comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal memory, and will cost you the equivalent of $590 USD. The Champagne Edition features 4GB of RAM along with 128GB of internal memory, yours for the equivalent of $1075 USD. Those requiring additional storage can access the 128GB capacity microSD slot.
The 16MP rear-facing camera employs a Sony IMX298 sensor, f/2.0 aperture, PDAF for fast focusing, and OIS to keep an unsteady hand from ruining a video. The 8MP front-facing camera includes a Sony IMX179 sensor. Toss in a 4000mAh battery, and you have the makings of a pretty well-spec'd phone that could have Americans reaching for their wallets next year.
