Huawei’s G8 is a premium looking glass and metal mid-ranger

Looking a lot more handsome this time around, Huawei’s latest oval looking smart phone, could just up-scale just enough while still attempting to keep the price affordable. Considering its intended price-point (predecessor cost RM 999), it offers a lot – a big battery and display, a finger print scanner and other note-worthy specs on the list.

Ergonomics takes a turn for the latest in the G series, thanks to the 2.5D glass on the front and the arched backing. It seems to be bezel-less when your screen isn’t lit, similar to other Huawei phones out there but when active.

You’ll be viewing everything on a 5.5-inch FHD screen (1920 x 1080) with 400 ppi. On top of the hardware, Huawei’s Emotion UI 3.1 will be doing the work, skinned on top of Android 5.1 Lollipop. The G8 boasts a 1.7GHz Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615.

You’ll also get 3GB of RAM and 32GB of expandable internal storage thrown into the mix to handle multitasking and larger apps or photos. In terms of camera optics, the device carries a 13-megapixel sensor on the rear and a 5-megapixel camera on the front. Worrying about your device’s security? The G8 is readily equip with a finger-print sensor on the back, giving you easier accessibility to your device, yet protecting it at the same time.

Calling, text and data are supported through a dual-SIM 4G LTE set up but there’s no mention if you have to sacrifice one slot to give way for the MicroSD card. Powering the whole package is a non-removable 3000 mAh battery, which is likely to give you decent amount of juice to last you throughout your day. No local pricing has yet to be announced but the Huawei G8 will go on sale in Europe for €399 (RM 1,895), a larger hole in your pocket, almost twice its predecessor; leaving us to think, at that price, you’re better off considering other options on the market.
