The Design
The phablet shows off an attractive, full metal design fitting of a high-end device. Huawei describes it as the ‘first smartphone made with integrated magnesium alloy,’ which is a top quality metal used in the aviation industry.
As large as this ‘phone’ looks, it is quite thin at only 6.8 millimetres. The Huawei P8 Max is constructed with DX19 conducive materials featuring a seven-layer heat dissipation layout that expels heat about nine times better than steel.
Screen and Camera
The Huawei P8 Max boasts a large screen estate to make images come out clearer and more brilliantly. It rocks a 6.8-inch LTPS LCD screen with Full HD resolution and a 1,500:1 contrast ratio.
The display, which is protected by tough Corning Gorilla Glass 4, has wide and brilliant viewing angles. The phablet packs a 13-megapixel camera on its rear for superb images, while there is also a 5-megapixel selfie shooter on the front.
Power and Performance
Huawei designed the P8 Max for a performance level that will leave you awed. The device is equipped with an octa-core Kirin 935 processor, which breezes through tasks at speeds of up to 2.2 GHz.
Alongside the powerful 64-bit chip is a generous 3 GB of RAM to enhance seamless multitasking. The Huawei P8 Max runs on Android 5.0 Lollipop, which is unsurprisingly overlaid with the Chinese phone maker’s Emotion UI. A 4360mAh battery is provided for the phone, with normal usage time put at more than two days.
Other Specs and Features
The Huawei P8 Max is available in two versions, based on internal storage: 32GB and 64GB. Storage memory can be expanded via a microSD slot, which doubles as a slot for a second Nano-SIM. The phablet is designed for immersive sound with its 1-watt loudspeaker, large (0.91 CC) sound chamber and Smart PA amplifiers.
