Will knock out Iphone 6 and Galaxy S6 with its newly cheap flagships – Technical Magazine

Huawei has growing ambitions on the mobile side. The Chinese telecommunications company in a few years proved that they can make phones in line with the major. Now they come with two new top models; P8 and P8 max.

The launching phones with surprisingly much technical innovation and it is obvious who they think should bleed market share in their direction. It was the iPhone 6 and Samsung S6 they compared themselves with the global launch in London yesterday.

But having said so reminiscent both about the iPhone 5. But in a heavily modified version. Here covers the screen 78.3 percent of the front profile. Because of the stick-thin frame is nicely bevelled edges to give a good grip.

In comparison covers the screen of Galaxy S6 70.5 percent of the front, while the figure for iPhone 6 is 65.8 percent. In all Huawei very keen to compare themselves with the two major. All specifications surpasses them are spelled out at the press conference.

There should be no doubt about who leads.

Test Galaxy S6: At least as good as the fancy edition

Design

It is a pretty phone we are dealing with here. It comes in gold, gray, Soret and champagne. The backing is milled out a piece of aluminum alloy. That is the same as HTC does with its top models.

The front houses a 5.2 inch screen protected by Gorilla Glass 4, and the whole phone is only 6.4 millimeters thick: 0.4 millimeters less than the Galaxy S6. P8 max has a screen of 6.8 inches.

Camera Innovation

It is not long since Samsung revealed its new 16 megapixel camera. It could take good pictures even in dark scenes. P8 stops at 13 megapixels, but this is what they claim is the world’s first camera with an RGBW – red-green-blue-white pattern.

That is the white pixels have no color filter and catches the light better. Huawei believes that this contributes to a reduction of image noise in low light conditions with 78 percent. In addition captures the colors better. If we are to believe the pictures they showed on stage goes Samsung camera a high time, but we’ll see what the tests say.

Camera

Bakkameraet equipped with optical image stabilization, OIS, which they claim is much better than the iPhone 6 Pluss. P8 can move 1.6 degrees sideways and it is twice what Apple camera can.

Another innovation is that the cameras are equipped with a separate signal processor that processes information from the camera. It’s something all real cameras, but it is new in mobiles. Huawei claims signal processor is in SLR class.

We’ll see, but it does enough considerably more benefit than running image processing software has been normal until now.

The sound of the phone has also received an overhaul. It will play both loud and clear music, and Huawei promises that it is particularly suitable as speakerphone. Both parties will hear each clock clearly.

The signal processor they use noise cancellation provides up to 90 percent reduction in wind noise even if you only use one microphone headset. Typically used two microphones in phone such.

Youth in Asia is undoubtedly more concerned self-portraits. Therefore front camera important. P8 comes as its predecessor with an 8 Megapixel front camera.

Knokestyring

Samsung has adopted the pen in their Note models. There is no place to P8. Instead Huawei has introduced something called Knuckle sense. Tap the screen with a knuckle and pull out a rectangle to take a frame of the screen. It replaces hardly a pen, but can probably be useful sometimes.

Another innovation is that you can shout to your phone and get it to respond and light up if you misplace it.

Dual antennas

Is there anything Huawei can then it is mobile technology, ie the one in the cellular network. They can antennae few others. P8 has gained some market people call Signal +. In it there is that it has two antennas. One on top and one at the bottom of the phone. It can switch between the 33.5 microseconds and ensure that the signal strength remains.

Also if the user holds the phone so that one antenna loses much of the gain. The phone has also got what they call WiFi + and who constantly picks the best network connection and not hanging on a lower signal strength.

The new antennas will also ensure a halving of all calls being broken.

And there are more pluses here. Roaming + allows the phone to connect to the net three times faster than others. When you land abroad, it may take two minutes before connecting. With P8 it should take 40 seconds.

Faster processor

Huawei make their own processors. They have not managed to keep it going against other top models before, according to mobile boss Richard Yu. The new processor that sits in P8 is a 64-bit case with four cores on 2 GHz and four 1.5 GHz.

Together, the mobile twice as fast as its predecessor, providing lower power consumption of the purchase. As befits a top model currently receiving processor using 3 GB of RAM.

The battery is 2.6 ampere hours and shall keep a daily heavy use. It is better than the competition, claiming Yu, and part of the explanation is found in the company calls App power consumption firewall. That means they govern strictly what the individual apps are allowed to do when they are inactive and should preferably not charge power source.

Display Cover

All modern phones come with a large number of covers. P8 is no exception. This is the additional sales. However, amid all the plastic and leather, we find a cover with E-ink display.

A black and white screen, so you can find on a tablet, which can display information without compromising especially out of battery life. Such screens’s also much better when the sun shines because they reflect light just like paper. Interesting.

What the not

The screen does not have the insane resolution Galaxy S6 waited on with. They have chosen to use 1920 times 1080 points. There are at least substantially more than the iPhone 6.

The camera does not do is to record 4K video. Here it stops at 1080p.

The phone has not fingerprint sensor as the other two. In return Huawei says that you can open the phone by holding it away to treningsarmbåndet.

It is also possible that the designers have gotten a little too good terms. Charging plug looks great, but could have had more contact with electronics engineers. It has only one amp charging current and there is not much when Samsung has long since standardized on two or more.

Budget

About buyers considering P8 against iPhone and Galaxy, which Huawei hopes, they have a chance to win many customers. It will cost 4495 dollars and it is 1500 to 2000 less than the others.

True in a version with 16GB storage memory, but this can in contrast to the other two top models equipped with a MicroSD card, and that means cheap memory extension.

There are plenty this model coming to Norway. About the far greater P8 Max emerge is not certain at this time.
