Is low-cost premium really an alternative?

A metal high-end smartphone for less than 500 euros. That could, or should, be the Huawei P8. The new flagship is equipped with a metal unibody and has a 2.0 GHz octacore processor designed by the Chinese manufacturer itself.

Furthermore, there is a 5.2 inch large IPS-NEO monitor with Full HD resolution and 13 megapixel camera built in. Not really spectacular specifications, but the sum total can make a fine camera. This should make the Huawei P8 an affordable alternative for the more expensive flagships of the competition such as the Samsung Galaxy S6, HTC One M9 and Sony Xperia Z3+. However, he must be careful not to be overtaken by the Moto X Play or LG G4s.

What's with the device?

When sticking out, it immediately becomes apparent that Huawei is using the P8 firmly. The unit is delivered in a black plastic box where it is slid in from above on its side. The rest of the contents of the box is hidden behind a black plastic cover. When this is removed, two cardboard boxes on either side of the unit become visible. The icons on the boxes show that the thinnest is for the necessary documentation and the other is for the charger, headset and USB cable. In addition, there is also a connector for the SIM card.
