Huawei Mate 8 Now Official with Kirin 950 Chipset


Alas, the much awaited flagship phone of Chinese manufacturer Huawei is now official! The handset was just launched a few hours ago, confirming all the rumors that have been circulating around about its specs and performance.


The phone has actually lived up to previous reports and packs a 6-inch IPS display with Full HD resolution, an in-house Kirin 950 chip with a 2.3GHz Cortex A72 quad-core CPU and another Cortex-A53  processor that’s clocked at 1.8GHz. There’s also a Mali T880MP4 graphics processor, a choice of 3GB or 4GB of RAM and internal storage that goes up to 128GB.

Just like the iPhones, the Mate 8 has a coprocessor (i5) which provides support for speech recognition, low-power consumption MP3, functions of a sensor hub, fused location provider (FLP) navigation and reduces location-based power consumption.

Huawei has used aerospace-grade aluminum and 2.5D curved diamond cut glass in the construction of the device, which definitely spells premium in today’s standards.


There’s a 16MP camera at the back provided by Sony, while an 8MP selfie snapper sits at the front. Other notable features of the Mate 8 include a 4000mAh battery, a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor and Android 6.0 Marshmallow with the company’s EMUI 4.0 OS with power-saving firewall, a defragmenter and eRecovery.

The phone will be offered in a number of color options including champagne gold, moonlight silver, space gray and mocha brown. The 3GB/32GB version will sell for $480 while the 4GB/64GB and 4GB/128GB variants will cost $590 and $700 respectively.
