Huawei P8 - specifications. Huawei P8 - Specifications of the radio mobile device is a built-in FM receiver

The powerful filling of the flagship Huawei P8 was packed in an ultra-thin metal case, where there was also a place for two SIM cards. One of the coolest "chips" of this device was the camera with RGBW sensor and optical stabilization. News .hi-tech figured out all the nuances of elegant new items.

The P8 Premium Class Apparatus from Huawei was presented in the middle of April in London. According to IDC for the last quarter, this Chinese corporation enters the top three among world smartphone producers, so that the next European premiere of its flagship is quite transparently hinting where further expansion is sent. Recall that the flagship ruler (P8) also includes a device with an enlarged screen size - P8MAX and a lightweight version of the top smartphone. Interestingly, the presentation of premium novelties spent in the modern center of fashion and art, thereby emphasizing the desired combination of style and functionality. Since the whole family of Flags R is considered to be imaging, the greater emphasis in it is still on the design (after all, there are also technologically advanced Mate flagships).

If suddenly you have no time, then here is a small text about the main strong and weaknesses Huawei P8, without technical details:

Design, Ergonomics

In Huawei, they do not hide that when creating a new flagship, drawing inspiration in traditional values, cost without avant-garde solutions. So, according to the creators, the design elements of P8 must attack memories of pages, roots and books of books.

Overture to this approach is the original plastic box with a translucent lid, and the process of unpacking the device in some sense reminds removing the book from the bookshelf.

The fact is that the smartphone, as well as documentation for it and accessories (USB-microUSB cable, power adapter and headset), which are distributed over individual boxes, are inserted into the main packaging vertically, and not horizontally, as usual. In general, it looks very stylish.

According to the developers, the housing of the new flagship is made of a solid piece of aluminum, while, the thin back cover was made of steel, which allowed even more to increase the rigidity of the frame.

The developers made P8 not only one of the thinnest (only 6.4 mm), but also one of the easiest (weight - 144 g, it is approximately a tiny idea of \u200b\u200btoday's iPhone 4) of modern flagships. Indeed, for comparison: - 6.9 mm, 129 g; - 9.6 mm, 157 g; - 9.8 mm, 155 g; - 6.8 mm, 138 g. We note, by the way, that the thickness of the previous flagship is 6.5 mm. The model of the new GRA_UL00 smartphone is presented in two colors: silver (Titanium Gray) and Goldist (Mystic Champagne). At the same time, the surface treatment does not hide the structure of the metal, and the rear panel of steel is pleasantly hiding hand.

In the top of the front panel, covered with a protective glass, provided a cut-out for a "conversational" microphone, to the left of which are the sensors of approximation and illumination, and on the right - the front camera lens and the charging / events indicator.

Assembly control buttons "Back", "Home" and "Recent Applications" are denoted by the pictograms "Triangle", "Circle" and "Square". Their order is easy to change in the settings by adding the icon to them to call the notifications panel. The Huawei logo, along which the lightweight smartphone is easily distinguished from the flagship, is missing here under the screen. Generally speaking, Fear of NEW turned out to be pretty faceless, which, with a reverent attitude of Huawei to design, rather strange.

The left side of the housing is empty

and on the right, the volume of the volume adjustment, the power / lock button, as well as two closed slots with trays, the bottom of which receives only Nanosim cards, and the top, combined, is designed to alternatively, or the Nanosim subscriber identification module or the microSD memory card. In this sense, more "omnivorous", because it takes Nanosim and Microsim on different slots. Both locks on the lids are open with a special clip, which is included.

By the way, in the profile of the flagship P8 can be distinguished from its clothed version only on plastic jumpers (elements in the design of the antennas).

The top end is occupied by a 3.5 mm connector for audio architecture and a hole for the second microphone (noise reduction), which the flagship is closer to the left edge.

In the lower end between the two groups of holes (six each), the MicroUSB connector was placed, which framed the heads of two fastening screws.

Under the left group of holes, still hides the grid of the "multimedia" speaker, and under the right - "conversational" microphone.

The holes intended for the main chamber and the double flash have been put into the upper left part of the back cover and covered with a dark glass plate, which is neatly copied and in. Only closer to the edge here is a flash (in a light version, the opposite is the opposite).

From the inscription (very small font) at the bottom of the steel panel, decorated with the Huawei logo, you can find out the model number, company name and the country of production.

The fixation of the smartphone in the palm of the palm is accompanied by a pleasant cool metal, without any "sharp" sensations. True, the envelope of the case, due to the main diagonal of the screen (5.2 inches), do not allow to talk about a comfortable control of the device with one hand. For this reason, in the settings there is a number of funds that allow you to partly compensate for this flaw.

Screen, camera, sound

For the 5.2-inch display of the flagship smartphone, Full HD-resolution was chosen (1920x1080 points), which, for obvious reasons, does not pretend to be a technological record. Of course, Quad HD sounded more cool, another thing is whether the heater is worth it in this case. Indeed, with the existing diagonal and screen resolution, the density of dot points is 424 DPI. In addition, the P8 uses an advanced matrix without an airbap between the layers of the JDI - IPS-NEO manufacturing screen with improved contrast (1500: 1). At the same time, the ratio of the area of \u200b\u200bthe display to the area of \u200b\u200bthe entire front panel is 71.6%. The screen with a rather thin side frame differs not only good contrast, but also color reproduction close to natural, large viewing angles and a solid margin in brightness.

The backlight level is regulated either manually, or it uses automatic adjustment over the illumination sensor. At the same time, the latter works quite adequately. Touch capacitive screen recognizes up to ten simultaneous presses. The results of Antutu Tester and Multi-Touch Test programs fully confirm such multitouch. The settings have the ability to change the color temperature of the screen - make the colors are warmer or vice versa, cold. There is also an option to increase the sensitivity of the sensor to work in gloves. Good anti-glare properties of the screen allow you to use a smartphone outdoor without any problems even summer sunny day. Note that oleophobic (fat-repellent) coating is applied to the protective glass from above.

The key features of the main camera on the basis of the Sony IMX278 photo module are optical image stabilization, a 4-color RGBW-sensor with a resolution of 13 megapixels, as well as a separate (and not from the chipset) processor for processing images from Altek. This is also worth adding a lens with an effective focal length (EFR) 29 mm and a f / 2.0 lights, as well as autofocus and a double LED flash. All this is aimed at creating conditions for obtaining a high-quality contrast image in insufficient illumination. The maximum resolution of the pictures is 4160x3120 points (13 MP) with the classical aspect ratio (4: 3) and 4160x2336 points (10 MP) for a widescreen frame (16: 9). Examples of photos can be viewed.

In turn, the front camera, on the basis of the 8-megapixel photo module Sony IMX179 EXMOR, has received a wide-angle lens with EFR 26 mm and Light F / 2.4. The maximum resolution of "self" here is 3264x2448 points (8 megapixel, 4: 3) and 3264x1840 points (3.8 meters, 16: 9), respectively. Both cameras are able to shoot in Full HD-resolution (1920x1080 points, 16: 9) at frame frequency 30 FPS. All content is saved in the MP4 container files (AVC - video, AAC - sound). Shooting with a resolution of 4k, as well as with an enlarged frame rate (for example, 60 fps), it is not provided here.

In the Application "Camera", in addition to the "Photo", "Video" and "Decoration" (for improving portraits), also the "time cut" (for shooting "Timeslaps") and "Light" (shooting from a tripod with low light) . In the latter, in particular, presets "light of lanterns", "light graffiti", "water" and "stars" are collected. It is clear that for such filming you need not only a certain place, but also a decent stock in time.

Along with the resolution of pictures and video quality, parameters such as saturation, contrast and brightness are adjusted in the camera settings. Also adjust the white balance and ISO value. Before and after shooting, it is easy to use a set of filters of type "Vintage", "Monochrome", etc. In the settings of the front camera, it is proposed, in particular, the "perfect selfie" mode, where, along with the usual decoration effect, you can adjust additional parameters ("smoothing", "whitening", "big eyes", "bright eyes", "narrow face" ).

Using the application "Mirror", accessible from the menu of the front camera, it is easy not only to look at yourself, a loved one, but also a little loose, having drawn a funny face on the "swollen" screen or "break" the protective glass of the smartphone at all.

But the program "Director" allows you to feel like a professional in order together with friends (connecting another, maximum, three smartphones) to remove your video at the same time from four points, and then mounted it in one clip.

The "multimedia" speaker of the smartphone sounds pretty good, although its volume is not very high. Recall that in the KIRIN 930 basic platform (HI3630 chipset) uses Tensilica HiFi 3 signal processor licensed from Cadence Design Systems. So, the FLAC files created by the audio data compression codecs without loss of quality are available for standard tools. But the technology improvement technology DTS (DIGITAL THEATER SYSTEM) can be used only in headphones. In this sense, the included headset is useful not only as a short-wave antenna for a built-in FM tuner, listening to only through the headphones. Stereo recruitment with noise suppression for the "Dictaphone" application is provided with the help of two microphones in the "Meeting" modes, Interviews and "Concert". By the way, the manufacturer claims that, for example, with a strong wind, the smartphone is capable of filtering up to 90% noise generated by air flow.

Stuffing, productivity

As the basic platform of the flagship smartphone P8, the Hisilicon Kirin 930 microcircuit is performed in compliance with the design standards of 28 nm. The 8-nuclear processor used in it is composed of two clusters of 64-bit Cortex-A53 cores (1.5 GHz) and Cortex-A53E (2.0 GHz) according to Arm Big.little GTS architecture.

More powerful Cortex-A57 did not suit their high power consumption, which leads to an increased heating of the mobile device. It is believed that the new quartet from Cortex-A53E is only a little inferior to the Cortex-A57 in terms of performance, but the battery charge is more economical. The graphics processing features assume the built-in ARM MALI-T628 MP4 accelerator with four actuator blocks. In addition to the memory controller (LPDDR3, 1600 MHz), the KIRIN 930 crystal is implemented by the "Hub of Sensors" - SMART I3 coprocessor, Tensilica HiFi 3 audio processor, LTE-modem, etc. The basic configuration of the smartphone is complemented 3 GB random access memory.

At the synthetic tests of Antutu Benchmark, 46,389 "Virtual Parrots" measured the flagship. Approximately the same "feathered" is estimated, for example, a 5.5-inch smartphone and an "intermediate" flagship.

Vellamo benchmark, including multi-core (Multicore) and processor (Metal) tests, confirmed flagship sweep P8.

On the Visual Epic Citadel test, with High Performance, High Quality and Ultra High Quality settings, the average frame rate changed as follows - 58.1 FPS, 54.8 FPS and 31.0 FPS.

On the universal gaming benchmark 3DMark, where the smartphone has been tested on the Sling Shot and Ice Storm Unlimited sets, the results of 184 and 7,725 are fixed, respectively. No problems with games, including "heavy", on P8, of course, no.

The total number of points earned by the flagship on the Base Mark OS II cross-platform benchmark amounted to 1,146 and almost two times exceeded the result for.

The GRA_UL00 model equipped 16 GB of integrated memory, of which approximately 10.4 GB are available. To extend the available storage, a slot is provided for a microSD / HC / XC memory card with a maximum capacity of up to 128 GB. Recall that the slot where the memory card is inserted, universal, and, having occupied it, you will have to sacrifice the installation of the second SIM card (Nanosim format). Support USB-OTG technology allows you to connect, for example, USB drives.

In the SIM card settings, it is proposed to determine which of the subscriber identification modules will work with 4G / 3G networks, which is used for data transmission, and which for voice calls and messages. Thanks to two separate radio models, the DUAL SIM Dual Active mode is supported when both SIM cards operate simultaneously. This is what exactly the fourth-generation network support is said: LTE Cat. 4 (up to 150 Mbps) FDD: Band 1, 3, 4, 7; TDD: Band 38, 39, 40, 41. Recall that the 7th frequency range is especially relevant for Russia (2600 MHz).

To enhance the speed of the Wi-Fi + setting, must provide "smart" switching between Wi-Fi networks and mobile data networks. But Signal + technology allows the smartphone to choose the most optimal communication mode. This became possible due to the rapid switching from one part of the double antenna to another. In addition, according to the development of developers, in this case the quality of the connection is also improved while moving at high speed (up to 300 km / h).

As for other communication capabilities of the flagship, then Bluetooth 4.1 is available, but only one frequency range for Wi-Fi 802.11n (2.4 GHz) is supported. Yes, and the NFC interface in this model is missing. Well, the implementation of the Wi-Fi Direct allows the smartphone to communicate with another device without routers and hot spots.

To determine the location and navigation, the GPS, GLONASS and BDS satellite systems are used. At the same time, if you believe the testimony of the Androits GPS Test test program, the signals from GPS satellites are searched for the most willing. A-GPS mode is also available.

The capacitance of the non-removable lithium-polymer battery of the flagship is 2,680 mA * h (10.19 W * h; 3.8 V). Recall that the simplified version is content with a battery just 2,200 mA * h. But even such a difference makes itself felt.

So, on the tests of the Antutu Tester battery, the flagship has earned 7,874 points (against 4,517). But the test set of videos in MP4 and Full HD-quality format on full brightness spinning continuously for about 7 hours.

In the settings "Energy Saving", where optimization and monitoring of energy consumption is also provided, there are already four modes - "energy saving", "smart", "performance" and "moderate." The last mode is recommended for long-term use of the machine, but the "energy saving" turns the smartphone into a regular "dialer" (only calls and messages). In turn, "smart" is good for balanced daily work, and "Performance" will be required for games and online video.

Software

The flagship is running the Android 5.0 operating system, the interface of which replaces the EMUI 3.1 branded membrane with support for updates "by air" OTA (over-the-air).

The same version of the Loncher is installed on a simplified version of the flagship. Recall that in the shell there is no separate application menu, and all program shortcuts are simply assembled on desktops.

Speech recognition is convenient to use to search for a new smartphone if it is nearby somewhere, or to perform a call when the hands are busy. Previously, in the "Speech Recognition" section, you should select the words of activation (recommended - Okay EMY) and three times to practice in their pronunciation, as well as decide on the type call signal and tongue (so far, alas, only English). For example, when searching for a phone, after words, it is necessary to say that "Where Are you you?" It is necessary to say: "WHERE ARE YOU?" In response from the smartphone, hear - "I am Here", wherein the device will flash the flash and the screen, displaying colored balls on it.

Screenshot on P8 is easy to do, just taping the knuckle of the finger on the screen twice. To do this, in the Smart Screenshot section, you should activate the appropriate option. In addition, if you draw, again the knuckle of your finger, a closed loop (counterclockwise), then a snapshot of a limited screen area will be. This area is proposed to leave an arbitrary form (as it is), or make a square or elliptic form. In addition to everything, right on the smartphone the resulting image can be edited.

Purchase, conclusions

In general, the new flagship from Huawei successfully fit into the image family of Smartphones R. In its ultrathum, a rather powerful stuffing is hidden with a high-quality screen. At the same time, for each of the two SIM cards there was a separate radio module. Of course, an advanced main camera deserves special attention in this smartphone. Unfortunately, the extension of the built-in memory has to pay the second SIM card.

Somewhat surprised the absence of an NFC interface and 5 GHz band support Wi-Fi 802.11n. In addition, I would like to see the opportunity for quick charging. As already noted, it is unlikely that you can consider the advantage of installing the second Nanosim card, as an alternative to the extension of the built-in memory .

The Huawei P8 smartphone is offered at the recommended price of 29,990 rubles, therefore it looks more advantageous, compared with 2-"Similar" flagships, let's say, Samsung Galaxy S6 DUOS or (DUOS), for which, according to Yandex.Market, on average They ask 39 990 rubles and 42,320 rubles, respectively. However, given all the possibilities of these elegant devices, they cost such money (including the ruble rate, of course). In short, pick up for P8 a decent opponent is not so easy. A more real competitor can, for example, be "thin and iron", which also belongs to the image line. Of course, the stuffing is simpler, but also the average price is below - 24,879 rubles.

Huawei presented new smartphone The child brand Honor 8c. The novelty is a logical continuation and focused on the budget segment of the market. Characteristics correspond to positioning and price. A telephone is built on an inexpensive, but strong Snapdragon 632 hardware platform. The camera is double, but modest sensors. The screen is large, but with HD resolution. The battery capacity is paying attention to 4000 mAh. And the price that can be called very attractive.

Honor 8C: Characteristics of the same string

Get acquainted with the novelty Let's start in the familiar format of the characteristics of one line. An impatient reader will find here all the key features Honor 8c. Those who want to know more, we invite you to read the subsequent publication sections.

• Processor SNAPDRAGON 632, 14 Nm, Adreno 506.
• RAM: 4 GB.
• Internal memory: 32 GB and 64 GB, there is a microSD slot.
• Battery 4000 mAh.
• Screen 6.26 inches, IPS LCD, 1520 per 720 pixels (19: 9).
• Double Camera: 13 MP + 2 MP.
• Operational android system 8.1 Oreo + EMUI 8.2.

We highlight a powerful battery, which, with an economical processor and HD + screen, can provide excellent time from one charge. The new Snapdragon 632 chip is of interest. If we do not change the memory, we see this processor in commercial smartphones for the first time. Submitted Snapdragon 632 in the summer of 2018 with Snapdragon 439 and S429; Read about new Qualcomm chipsets.

Honor 8C: Iron Characteristics

As developers choose processors for, unknown. Some models are obtained, others. Apparently, the choice is dictated by production facilities. If home chips are missing, the model is released on Snapdragon. In the case of Honor 8C, logic could be different. This is a budget phone, the main advantage of which is an affordable cost. Accordingly, immediately disappears, it remains to choose between the Snapdragon chips.

Snapdragon 632 - a good choice. The chipset is the successor of the famous six hundred series, the heir to Snapdragon 625. It is built on Kryo 250 CPU kernels. Kryo 250 is a simplified version of Kryo 260, which are visible in S636 and S660. The kernel in the S632 processor work at a frequency of 1.8 GHz, but are divided into two clusters - powerful and efficient. Graphic accelerator - Adreno 506, as in Snapdragon 625.

With the speed of work at Honor 8c, there will be a full order, you can also play with comfort. The choice of the scope of RAM is correct - 4 GB. Internal memory - 32 GB or 64 GB. More decided not to put not to get out of the price range. There is a slot to expand memory.

Honor 8C: Camera, Battery, Screen

Camera. The Honor 8C smartphone was delivered a double back chamber. Resolution of the main sensor 13 mp.but I would like to highlight light optics with a diaphragm F / 1.8.. The second module is used to analyze the depth of the scene and defocusing the background in portrait mode. The resolution is modest (2 MP), aperture F / 2.4.

Screen. The main disadvantage of the Honor 8C smartphone is the screen. Large diagonal 6.26 inches, but permission - 1520 at 720. pixels. Obviously, the choice in favor of the HD screen is dictated by the need to reduce the price of the phone and give it another competitive advantage - an attractive value.

Battery. The disadvantage in the form of a HD screen is partly compensated by another characteristic of the Honor 8C - a powerful battery on 4000 mAh.. In combination with an effective SnapDragon 632 and HD chipset, such a battery can make a novelty one of the leader of autonomy ratings.

All Honor 8c features can be viewed in the table, after which we speak about the price and date of the release of new items.

Another flagship of the premium family of mobile devices Huawei, smartphone called Huawei P8, presented At the end of the last spring in London, finally got to Russia. Compared to the predecessor, the P7 model, in the new flagship changed a lot: more practical case materials were used, a more powerful hardware platform was installed, the amount of RAM was increased, the communication part was reworked. Of course, the question of shooting on camera did not go around the developers: the newest Sony production module was installed in Huawei P8, and software To work with the camera was even more improved, and new shooting modes were added. At the same time, the main thing was preserved: the flagships of the Huawei P series have always been and remain among the most compact, thin and light expensive image models on the market among top smartphones of modernity. The new flagship Huawei looks very balanced by most aspects by the device, and we will analyze more specific details in this review.

To begin with, take a look at the characteristics of the smartphone, the hardware is impressive.

Contents of delivery

Huawei P8 is available on sale in a completely unusual look and unusual in the structure of the box. It is immediately clear that the designers have worked tightly over this topic, completely revised its vision of what should be the packaging of the image model of a modern smartphone. In it, all the accessories laid down on the boxes, together with the smartphone themselves, are inserted vertically, as if bookshells on the bookshelf (if you put it next). Outside, all this is also covered with a lacquered plastic panel with a golden inscription on a black background, and assembled the box looks fresh and incredibly stylish, immediately configuring further acquaintance with the contents.

Package standard: smartphone comes with not very powerful charger (output current 5 in 1 A), Micro-USB connecting cable, wired headphonesAs well as a metal key to extract SIM cards and fine paper instructions.

Appearance and ease of use

The appearance of smartphones of the flagship line Huawei P developers has always been paid to maximum attention, because this lineup was positioned from the first days, first of all as an image. Some of the previous representatives of the series (P1 and P6) were generally at one time the record holders on [minimal] thickness, and now the innovations of this family remain in the rank of one of the most subtle image models in the mobile device market. Did not let down in this regard and new Huawei. P8: The thickness of its fully metal housing is only 6.4 mm, which makes a smartphone with one of the thinnest modern flagships.

As for the design itself, there is nothing to be admired here: we have a completely ordinary rectangular bar without frills. Corners, perhaps, too sharp, and the side faces themselves are neither her. That is, it was either needed to do them completely straight, or to fully round up, like the same iPhone 6. There is some unfinished iphone here: the faces are quite a bit rounded, and then for some reason further removed the face. As a result, the housing looks peculiar, and this is a large enough, heavy and very thin metal plate constantly seeks to slip away. This, by the way, oddly enough, contributes to the fact that metal surfaces gave here and light roughness here - the usual smooth metal would be kept even more reliable in the hands.

There is no removable details at the smartphone, the case is unbearable, therefore, the method of setting the cards is applied to the appropriate. In the side facet on the right there are two slump connector, in which metal sled cards are inserted, and they are retrieved using a complete key-paper. It should be noted that one of the slots can be used either under the memory card, or under the second SIM card, but not at the same time, which depresses: In the smartphone, there is not much of its own built-in memory to easily be able to refuse to use a memory card. As a result, the user gets up a dilemma - after all, it would be nice to have both.

The camera module on the back of the smartphone does not drank at all outside the rear surface. It is combined with a single block with a two-section multi-colored LED flash fixed in a mirror non-metallic plank embedded into the housing. If necessary, the flash can be used as a flashlight, the rapid inclusion of which is carried out from the panel screen extended from below, at one time borrowed Huawei from Apple iPhone.

The same iPhone contributed as a result of the fact that most of the self-respecting manufacturers finally ceased to bring the speaker to the back side of the smartphone - where the outgoing sound is constantly overlapped with the surface of the table and sent to the opposite side of the side of the side, and finally moved the speakers to the lower end. The same is the case in the case of Huawei P8: two rows of holes have been done in the lower end of the metal housing, but the sound, as usual, it turns out only through one grille, the second is installed only for symmetry. Perhaps the conversational microphone is hidden behind it, but the sound of the speaker through it does not accurately (it is easy to make sure, alternately covering the holes with his finger alternately).

In the middle, between two lattices, a Micro-USB connector is installed, which, unlike the same lattices, for some reason, was not centered with respect to the central axis. It looks like a little annoying: it is not clear why designers misses such trifles in their work. Just look at the same iPhone: there is not a single element placed crookedly; Everything is thought out to the smallest detail, it bribes.

The same can be said about the mechanical buttons - more precisely, one button, the main used for blocking. It is clear that it was copied with Sony Z Smartphones, but also there this "find" looks, to put it mildly, not too organically. And so all the elements placed on the edges, including the caps of the card connectors and the volume key, have a uniform view here, and only this button is narrowed by almost square, and even recessed into some kind of formless, carved in the metal. No other elements. All this looks absolutely not to the place and knocks out of the overall style. The buttons themselves have elastic, but too short move, they are not perfect, but you can get used to them.

At the top end, the same picture is observed: it is quite organically a smoothly cut hole under the audio jack, but immediately next to it again missed the central axis with the opening of the second, auxiliary microphone. Apparently, the designer in his work was guided by something else, but not the concept of symmetry.

The front panel is completely covered with flat-free protective glass. In its top, in addition to the sensors and the front camera, there is such a useful element as a LED indicator of events. The function of the flashing of this small glowing point in the right corner of the point when you receive new notifications can be independently disabled in the screen settings menu.

In the bottom under the screen, there are no hardware buttons, all the buttons are virtual, so their set and mutual location can be changed to your taste in the appropriate section of the settings menu.

According to the information, huawei's branded online store, in the Russian retail, the smartphone will be presented in two color versions: dark gray, as we have in the photos, and the colors of the "Champagne" with a white front panel, although on the company photos Huawei P8 , Which and the front panel painted in this very brown shade. Obviously, such a modification or will not go to the Russian market, or will become available later.

Screen

The Huawei P8 smartphone is equipped with an IPS sensory matrix manufactured using In-Cell technology. Screen sizes are 65 × 115 mm, diagonal - 5.2 inches, resolution - 1920 × 1080 points. Pixel density is 424 ppi. The width of the frame from the border of the screen to the edge of the case from the sides is about 3.5 mm, and from above and below - about 15 mm.

The display brightness can be configured manually, you can also use automatic adjustment based on the operation of the lighting sensor. Multitouch technology allows you to handle 10 simultaneous touches. There is a smartphone and an approximation sensor that blocks the screen when making a smartphone to the ear. Supported work with the screen in gloves, but the double tapping in this case does not activate the screen, although there was such a functionality in Huawei smartphones. Perhaps the whole thing only in the firmware of the test sample.

Detailed examination with the use of measuring devices conducted sections editor " Monitors "And" Projectors and TV. "Alexey Kudryavtsev. We present his expert opinion on the screen of the sample under study.

The front surface of the screen is made in the form of a glass plate with a mirror-smooth surface resistant to the appearance of scratches. Judging by the reflection of objects, the anti-reference screen properties is not worse than the screen Google Nexus 7 (2013) (hereinafter just Nexus 7). For clarity, we give a photo on which the white surface is reflected in the screens (left - Nexus 7, right - Huawei P8, then they can be distinguished by size):

The Huawei P8 screen is even slightly darker (brightness of photographs 105 versus 112 at Nexus 7). Two-reflected objects in the Huawei P8 screen is very weak, it suggests that there is no airbap between the layers of the screen (more specifically between the outer glass and the surface of the LCD matrix) (OGS-One Glass Solution type screen). Due to the smaller number of boundaries (type of glass / air) with highly different refractive ratios, such screens look better in conditions of strong external illumination, but their repair in the event of a cracked exterior glass costs much more expensive, since it accounts for a whole screen. On the outer surface of the screen there is a special oleophobic (tight-repellent) coating (by efficiency a little worse than Nexus 7), so traces from fingers are removed easier, and appear at a lower rate than in the case of ordinary glass.

When manually controlled brightness and when the white field is output, the maximum brightness value was about 440 kD / m², the minimum is 10 cd / m². The maximum brightness is high enough, it means that considering excellent anti-reflective properties, readability even on a sunny day outside the room should be at a good level. In complete dark, brightness can be reduced to a comfortable value. In stock Automatic brightness adjustment over the illumination sensor (it is located to the left of the slot of the front loudspeaker). In automatic mode, when changing external light conditions, the screen brightness is rising, and decreases. The operation of this function depends on the position of the brightness adjustment slider. If it is 100%, then in complete darkness, the auturance function reduces the brightness of up to 120 kD / m² (multipato), in conditions lit by artificial offices (about 400 LCs) sets 300 kD / m² (it was possible and smaller), in very bright surrounded (corresponds to the coverage of a clear day outside the room, but without direct sunlight - 20,000 LCs or a little more) The brightness rises to 440 kD / m² (to the maximum - it is necessary); If the adjustment is about 50%, the values \u200b\u200bare as follows: 10, 115 and 440 kD / m² (perfect combination), the regulator is 0% - 10, 30 and 220 kD / m² (the last few values \u200b\u200bare slightly lowered, which is logical). It turns out that the auto-adjustment feature of the brightness works absolutely adequately and allows the user to customize its work under individual requirements. At any level of brightness, the backlight modulation is practically absent, so there is no screen flicker.

IN this smartphone Used IPS type matrix. Micrographs demonstrate a typical structure of subpixels for IPS:

For comparison, you can get acquainted with microfotography gallery Screens used in mobile technology.

The screen has good viewing angles without a significant shift of colors, even with large looks from the perpendicular to the screen and without inverting shades. For comparison, we give the pictures on which the same images are displayed on the Huawei P8 and Nexus 7 screens, while the brightness of the screens is initially installed about 200 cd / m², and the color balance on the camera is forcibly switched to 6500 K. Perpendicular to the screens White field:

Note good uniformity of brightness and color tone of the white field. And test picture:

The colors on the Huawei P8 screen are oversaturated and the color balance is slightly different. Now at an angle of about 45 degrees to the plane and to the side of the screen:

It can be seen that the colors did not change much from both screens, but Huawei P8 contrast decreased to a greater extent due to the strong decrease of black. And white field:

The brightness at an angle of the screens has decreased (at least 5 times, based on the difference in exposure), but the Huawei P8 screen is still lighter (photographs brightness 240 against 235 at Nexus 7). The black field when the diagonal is deviated to the diagonal, the reddish shade is highlighted. The photos below are demonstrated (the brightness of white areas in the perpendicular plane of the directions of the direction is the same!):

And at a different angle:

With perpendicular view, the uniformity of the black field is imperfect, because closer to the edge, the black places are lighting:

And with another location of the screen buttons:

Contrast (approximately in the center of the screen) high - about 1400: 1. Response time when switching black-white-black is 22 ms (12 ms incl. + 10 ms off.). The transition between halftons of gray 25% and 75% (according to the numerical color value) and back in sum occupies 34 ms. Constructed by 32 points with an equal interval in the numerical value of the shade of a gray gamma curve did not reveal in neither lights or in the shadows. An indicator of approximating power function equal to 2.17, which is close to the standard value of 2.2. In this case, the real gamma curve is almost not deviated from the power dependence:

In this device there is some kind of dynamic adjustment of the brightness of the backlight in accordance with the character of the displayed image. As a result, the obtained dependence of brightness from the shade (gamma curve) may not correspond to the gamma-curve of the static image, since the measurements were carried out with a consistent output of shades of gray almost full screen. For this reason, a series of tests - the determination of contrast and response time, comparing the illumination of black at angles - we were carried out (however, as always) with the output of special templates with constant medium brightness, and not one-photo fields in full screen. It should be noted that in this case, the correction of brightness is expressed weakly and has no obvious dependence on the image, but it would be better not at all.

Color coverage is wider than SRGB:

We look at the spectra:

They are atypical, but we have already seen them in case, for example, Sony Xperia Z2. . Sony points out that these screens use LEDs with a blue emitter and green and red phosphor (usually a blue emitter and yellow phosphor), which in combination with special matrix light filters and allows you to get a wide color coverage. Most likely, this statement is true in the case of Huawei P8. For a consumer device, a wide color coverage is neither worthy, but a significant disadvantage, as in the end the colors of images - drawings, photographs and films, - srgb-oriented space (and such an overwhelming majority), have unnatural saturation. This is especially noticeable on recognizable shades, for example on skin shades. The result is shown in the photo above.

The balance of shades on the gray scale is good, since the color temperature is not much higher than the standard 6500 K, and the deviation from the absolutely black body (ΔE) from the spectrum is below 10, which is considered an acceptable indicator for the consumer device. In this case, the color temperature and Δe change little from the shade to the shade - this has a positive effect on the visual assessment of the color balance. (The darkest areas of the gray scale can not be considered, since there the balance of colors does not matter, and the measurement error of the color characteristics on the low brightness is large.)

In this device there is an opportunity to adjust the color balance by adjusting the shade warmer-colder.

On schedules above curves Without corre. comply with the results without any correction of the color balance, and curves Corr. - data obtained after the shift of the correction slider in the "warm" side until it stops. It can be seen that the change in the balance corresponds to the expected result, since the color temperature approached the standard value, but ΔE, unfortunately, has increased markedly and reached a critical value of 10 units. It is possible that the correction of a special meaning has no meaning.

Let's summarize: the screen has a sufficiently high maximum brightness and has good anti-glare properties, so the device without problems can be used outside the room even a summer sunny day. In complete darkness, brightness can be reduced to a comfortable level. It is permissible to use the mode with an automatic adjustment of the brightness that works adequately. Also, the advantages of the screen should include the presence of a oleophobic coating, no flickering and air gap in the screen layers, high contrast, as well as close to the standard color balance. The disadvantages are the low stability of black to the rejection of the view from the perpendicular to the screen plane and overly wide color coverage. However, taking into account the importance of the characteristics for this class of devices, the screen quality can be considered high, although it is worth getting ready for strange and not entirely natural shades.

Sound

Huawei P8 sounds, despite the extremely thin case, very high quality. The external speaker here is only one, but the device gives it through it, and through the headphones the sound of high quality for a comfortable listening. This is not an OPPO or HTC level, the smartphone does not replete deep bass, but in terms of the volume of Huawei P8 does not give anyone to anyone. The sound is very loud, while the sound is clean, without wheezing and distortion, bright, rich, low frequencies are also partly present, although not fully. In the conversational dynamics, the question of the interlocutor, the timbre and intonation remain recognizable. There are no manual settings to control the quality of sound in the corporate player, there is only the ability to enable or disable the DTS sound improvement technology, and only for headphones.

FM radio in the smartphone is available, only works with connected headphones.

Camera

Huawei P8 is equipped with two digital camera modules with a resolution of 13 and 8 megapixel. For frontal shooting, an 8 megapixel module with a lens with a diaphragm F / 2.4, without autofocus and its own flash. Among the settings, it is possible to track smiles, as well as shooting with the hardware volume key, including during the locked screen (for this you need to press the volume twice, but the shooting will be performed on the main chamber located in the back of the smartphone). For the front camera, there are also manual settings here, at which you can independently set the exposure, contrast, brightness. Also, it is also possible to mention the special mode "perfect selfie" with the possibility of saving in memory of personal data, in which additional effects can be applied to the photos (zoom in the eyes, whiten the skin, etc.).

The bottom chamber uses a new 13-megapixel Sony sensor with a four-color RGBW sensor and its own image processing processor. According to the developers, the RGBW sensor reduces the brightness of 32% at high light contrast and increases by 78% with a low level of lighting, and the independent processor for image processing DSLR camera allows you to suppress noise and evaluate the shooting conditions, identifying the high-contrast and insufficiently illuminated parts of the frame. The camera is also equipped with an F / 2.0 lens with an improved optical stabilization technology (compensates for the shifts to 1.2 °) and the tracking autofocus. LED flash has two multi-colored sectors.

The branded menu of camera settings for design is the same as in previous models of the series, but a few additional shooting modes have been added. Most menu functions are collected in a single vertical scroll, and additional shooting modes are selected by pressing the button in the upper right corner. In addition to the automatic shooting mode, several specific modes are provided, such as Successful photos, decoration, panorama, HDR et al. With the help of a separate mode, you can play and configure the focus on different zones of the photograph. Also someone may seem curious new entertainment regime Figure light. In this mode, manual control of the gate chamber is used to shoot various light effects. Developers offer to use this mode with night shooting to capture the light pattern created by moving lanterns. According to their plan, users can create their own light patterns using a smartphone as a source of lighting in the dark.

The camera can shoot a video with a resolution up to 1080p, when shooting, you can use the tracking autofocus, it is also possible to use optical and electronic stabilization, and at the same time. As a result, the shooting turns out really very smooth, but the image quality itself leaves much to be desired. It is a pity that there is no shooting mode with a speed of 60 FPS or at least in the resolution of 4k. An example of a test roller is presented below.

• Roller №1 (19 MB, 1920 × 1080, 30 FPS)

	With the fitting indoors, the camera copes well.
	Sometimes the work of the noger looks truly thin and pleasant.
	Regarding long exposures, the chamber is not afraid: apparently cuts out the stabilizer.
	Not bad sharpness almost throughout the entire field.
	With the removal of the plan, the image becomes soap.
	An example is quite good field of plans.
	On medium and distant plans, the simply feeling.
	The numbers of the nearest cars are distinguishable.
	Good sharpness over the field and by plans.
	With macro shot, the camera copes well.
	With the removal of the foliage plan merges quite smoothly.

Immediately it is worth noting that with shooting with insufficient lighting the camera copes well, much better than most smartphones. The remaining minority of this level fully achieves, but the good coordinated work of the stabilizer and the noise here is really felt. Otherwise, the camera has no superpost. She works well with the details, but often soap. Also there are small blur zones, the sharpness of the frame and on the plans is not always uniform. Nevertheless, the camera is well suited for documentary, and sometimes for artistic shooting.

Telephone part and communication

The smartphone operates in modern 2G GSM and 3G WCDMA networks, as well as support for the fourth-generation network LTE CAT4, up to 150 Mbps (FDD LTE Band 1, 3, 4, 7). Most often in Russia, the frequency of 2600 MHz is also supported. In practice, the SIM cards of domestic operators MegaFon and Beeline smartphone is registered and operates in LTE networks.

The rest of the smartphone network capabilities are as follows: there is support for Bluetooth 4.1, but only one is supported wi-Fi range (2.4 GHz) and no NFC. There is a Wi-Fi Direct, you can organize a wireless access point through Wi-Fi or Bluetooth channels. Micro USB 2.0 connector supports the connection of external devices in USB OTG mode. Also, the developers assure that a double antenna of the new design of its own design of Signal +, which, in combination with technology, was used in the smartphone. fast switching Allows the smartphone to choose the optimal communication mode and improves the quality of the connection even while driving at high speed, for example, if the user talks, being in a high-speed train.

The phone application supports Smart Dial, that is, during a set telephone number Immediately, the search by contacts. The settings provide an urgent method of entering the type of swype. For ease of control of one hand, it is possible to change in the amount of virtual keyboards or even the entire working area of \u200b\u200bthe screen.

The smartphone supports working with two SIM cards. All work with them in the menu is comfortable organized on one page, the settings are conveniently combined into groups, it is enough just to put a couple of ticks - and the choice is made. Everything is clearly and intuitive. Perhaps this menu to control work with two SIM cards is the most convenient of all the options previously met.

Any of the SIM cards can be assigned the main to organize voice calls, data transmission and sending SMS messages; When the number is dialing, you can also select the desired card with the corresponding buttons. With 3G / 4G networks, a SIM card can operate in any slot, but at the same time in this mode only one of them can function. To change the settings of the slots of the card, you do not need to change places - it can be done directly from the phone menu. Working with two SIM cards is organized by Dual Sim Dual Active, when both cards can work in parallel and at the same time, that is, the smartphone uses two separate radio modulus - it is very rarely found and, of course, a very user-friendly option.

The corporate interface is traditionally so strongly modified design and all the internal arrangement of the standard system, which is from the original design Android There is little left. There is no separate application menu here, the original curtain of notifications with the timeline and your own last menu open programs They look completely different, and indeed the traces of Material Design here are almost invisible. There is not too wide support for elementary gestures, not anywhere and a special program control button that calls a pop-up quick access menu to some frequently used applications. The lower row of virtual control buttons can be reassigned at their discretion, it is also possible to reduce the entire work area of \u200b\u200bthe screen entirely.

Additional preset programs Not much, you can select a file manager, as well as a set of system utilities, including the Dispatcher program, which includes the functions of energy saving, cleaning memory, protection against virus threats and traffic monitoring.

Performance

The Huawei P8 hardware platform is based on an eight-core single-grip system (SOC) Hisilicon Kirin 930, which, along with KIRIN 935, is currently one of the most powerful 64-bit platforms used by Huawei in their serial products. The configuration of this solution includes two clusters of four Cortex-A53 processor kernels with a frequency of 1.5 to 2.0 GHz and GPU Mali-T624. That is, KIRIN 930 acts as a competitor to such SOC higher LevelAs Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 and MediaTek MT6795.

The amount of operational memory of the smartphone is 3 GB. The device has 16 GB flash memory, from which 10.5 GB is available for the needs of the user itself. The amount of memory can be increased by microSD cards, but then, according to the desired bad tradition, you will have to take out the second SIM card, which is extremely uncomfortable. On the market you can find many solutions in which the support of both two SIM cards and a memory card is perfectly combined, there is nothing supernatural. Why Huawei decided to adhere to the option with trimmed functionality - it is incomprehensible.

According to the results of testing, the KIRIN 930 platform showed itself a very worthy title of top SOs platform of the highest level. If more specifically, in complex benchmarks, its indicators are equivalent to the indicators of the competing platforms Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 and MediaTek MT6795 (in Antutu it is more than 45k in a 32-bit and about 50k in 64-bit test modes).

As for specialized tests, both in graphic, and even in browser benchmarks, the platform is noticeably inferior to its competitors, and of course, far from all indicators from the current exynos 7420, used in the maximum powerful modern SAMSUNG Galaxy S6 and S6 devices .

In any case, Huawei P8 is currently at the level of performance among the most powerful and advanced modern smartphones, its hardware features will be enough for a long time to perform any tasks.

Testing in the latest versions complex tests ANTUTU and GEEKBENCH 3:

All the results obtained by us when testing the smartphone in the most recent versions of popular benchmarks, we are conveniently reduced to the table. The table usually adds several other devices from various segments, also tested on similar recent versions of benchmarks (this is done only for a visual assessment of the resulting dry numbers). Unfortunately, within the framework of the same comparison, it is impossible to submit results from different versions of the benchmarks, so "for the scenes" there are many decent and actual models - due to the fact that they at one time passed the "obstacles' band" on previous versions of test programs.

Testing a graphic subsystem in 3DMark game tests, GFXBENCHMARK, and Bonsai Benchmark:

When testing in 3DMark for the most productive smartphones Now it is possible to run an application in Unlimited mode, where the resolution of the rendering is fixed by 720p and is turned off by VSYNC (due to which the speed can rise above 60 FPS).

Browser cross-platform tests:

As for the benchmarks to estimate the speed of the JavaScript engine, it is necessary to always make a discount on the fact that they are significantly dependent on the browser in them, in which the comparison can be truly correct only on the same OS and browsers, and such an opportunity is available when testing not always. In the case of Android OS, we always try to use Google Chrome.

Heatons

The back surface is shown below (the top in the picture is on the right), obtained after 10 minutes of the battery test operation in the GFXBenchMark program:

It can be seen that the heating is slightly lonocated by about the center and closer to the right edge of the device, which, apparently, corresponds to the location of the SOC chip. According to the heat frame, the maximum heating was 35 degrees, it is relatively few. Apparently, the metal body of the apparatus contributes to the delocalization of the heating area.

Video playback

To test the "omnivities" when playing video (including support for various codecs, containers and special features, such as subtitles) we used the most common formats which make up the bulk of the content available on the content network. Note that for mobile devices it is important to have the support of hardware decoding of videos at the chip level, since to process modern options due to the processor nuclei are most often impossible. Also, it is not necessary to wait from the mobile device of decoding everything, since the leadership in flexibility belongs to PC, and no one is going to challenge it. All results are reduced to a single table.

According to the test results, the subject did not turn out to be equipped with all the necessary decoders, which are necessary to fully play most of the most common multimedia files. To successfully play their playback, you will have to resort to the help of a third-party player - for example, MX Player. True, it is necessary to change the settings and manually set additional custom codecs, because now this player does not officially support AC3 sound format.

Format	Container, video, sound	MX Video Player.	Full video player
DVDRip.	AVI, XVID 720 × 400 2200 Kbps, MP3 + AC3	reproduces normal	reproduces normal
Web-DL SD	AVI, XVID 720 × 400 1400 Kbps, MP3 + AC3	reproduces normal	reproduces normal

¹ The sound in MX Video Player was played only after installing an alternative user audio codec; the regular player does not have such a setting

Testing the features of the video output spent Alexey Kudryavtsev.

The MHL interface, like the Mobility DisplayPort, we did not find in this smartphone, so I had to restrict ourselves to testing the display of the video files on the device itself. To do this, we used a set of test files with one division per frame with an arrow and a rectangle (see " Testing methods for playing and displaying video signals. Version 1 (for mobile devices) "). Screen shots with shutter speed in 1 C helped to determine the nature of the output of video files with various parameters: resolution ranged (1280 to 720 (720p) and 1920 per 1080 (1080p) pixels) and frame rate (24, 25, 30, 50 and 60 frame / from). In tests, we used the MX Player video player in the "hardware" mode. Test results are reduced to the table:

720 / 30p. excellent not 720/25p. excellent not 720/24p. excellent not

Note: If in both columns Uniformity and Pass Green estimates are exhibited, it means that, most likely, when viewing the films of artifacts caused by uneven alternation and passage of frames, or will not be seen at all, or their number and notice will not affect the preservation of viewing. Red markers point to possible problemsrelated to playback of relevant files.

By the output criterion, the quality of video playback playback on the screen of the smartphone itself is very good, since frames (or frames of frames) may (but not obliged) to be output with more or less uniform intervals and without frames. When playing video files with a resolution of 1920 to 1080 pixels (1080p) on the smartphone screen, the image of the video file is displayed exactly along the screen border, one to one by pixels, that is, in the initial resolution. The brightness range displayed on the screen corresponds to the standard range of 16-235 - in the shadows of the entire pair of gray shades does not differ in brightness from the black color, but in the lights there are all gradations of shades.

Battery life

Huawei P8 has a non-removable battery far from maximum for modern smartphones in 2680 mAh. As a result, the smartphone has not demonstrated records by duration autonomous work, All within the norm for flagships with a large display.

It is also worth noting that testing was carried out without the use of any energy-saving functions, and with them the smartphone is obviously able to hold out longer. As usual, in the settings of the corporate energy-saving mode, Huawei smartphones have three different levels, from usual to the most economical.

	Battery capacity	Reading mode	Video mode	3D game mode
Huawei P8.	2680 mA · h	13 h. 00 m.	9 h. 00 m.	3 h. 10 m.

Uninterrupted reading in the FBReader program (with a standard, bright theme, without autocrapolization) with a minimum comfortable level of brightness (brightness at the beginning of the test was set to 100 cd / m²) lasted until the battery was completely discharged, and with unlimited viewing video in high quality (720p) with the same brightness level through home network Wi-Fi apparatus lasted 9 hours. In the game mode, the smartphone functioned just over 3 hours. The total charge time is a little less than 3 hours.

Outcome

Huawei has already announced the imminent start of sales Huawei P8 in Russia, the official price of the certified device will be unrelated 30 thousand rubles, the start of online sales is scheduled for July 24. The unattended apparatus can now be purchased in online stores at a price of 27 thousand rubles. Given the modern realities of the market, it is quite an acceptable price for the image flagship smartphone with a metal case, a high-quality large screen, excellent sound, a powerful hardware platform, a good chamber and decent autonomy.
