Comparisons Featuring Huawei P8max
Short Review
- The Huawei P8max features a large 6.8-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, providing decent clarity at around 326 ppi.
- Its design is sleek and lightweight at 228 grams, with dimensions of 182.7 x 93 x 6.8 mm, available in Luxurious Gold, Mystic Champagne, and Titanium Grey.
- Performance is driven by the Kirin 935 chipset, an octa-core CPU, and 3GB of RAM, allowing for smooth multitasking.
- The camera system includes a 13 MP rear camera with optical image stabilization and a 5 MP front camera, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps.
- The battery capacity is robust at 4360 mAh, supporting extended usage without fast or wireless charging options.
- The device runs on Android 5.0.2/5.1.1, upgradable to 6.0, with EMUI providing a customized user experience.
- Connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC support.
- The absence of stereo speakers is notable, but it retains a headphone jack for audio.
