Mate8 has been listed for a long time. The mobile phone has not been lacking in topics. The overall review has been mixed, but it is mostly positive. As a digital lover, watching other people fight to fight, I also want to send out my true voice! Holding Mate8 (4+64 Champagne Gold), I hope to combine the online public information with my own experience and let everyone see the truth of Mate8.
Conclusion of the article In the end, different valued friends can choose to pull it to the end or read it carefully to criticize me.
Due to the fact that there are many dealings with government state-owned units, the Huawei Mate series has a very high penetration rate in this unit, a good reputation, and a good gift. The audience can be broadly summarized as: state-owned units, people aged 30 to 60, who have a certain status in the unit.
In recent years, the size of mobile phone screens has become bigger and bigger, and the 5.5-inch note2 of the three-bar note2 for 12 years is already a “giant screenâ€. This year, more and more brand-name products are positioned at 5.5 inches. Based on this market trend, Huawei may have taken into consideration the “face†issue of the Chinese people before bravely using such a 6-inch screen.
This reflective screen aesthetic is not bad.
The highest brightness of the screen manually, this screen is characterized by serious reflection. The black band around the screen is obvious, and the red screen situation is basically not there.
The front is the screen is 2.5D glass, the bulge is obviously rigid. Use the on-screen virtual buttons, concentric circles on the chin and the chin. The proportion of the screen is high, and the overall squareness.
The factory comes with a foil, which is thicker (if I wanted to keep it used, I already tore it away). The above figure shows that there is a golden border between the CNC cutting chamfer and the 2.5D protective glass, and the material is unknown, which plays a role of visual transition and physical buffer.
The side of the fuselage is a flat metal wire drawing process, up and down for a symmetrical CNC cutting chamfer, there will be obvious hand when holding .
On the back: The surface is anodized and sandblasted. The position of the antenna with darker colors is covered by a plastic patch. The camera is slightly protruding, or it is better to have a sleeve.
Saying that this window-opening leather case is to further stifle one-handed operation, if stacked in the back, it will cover the fingerprint identification unless you operate with both hands. Holding a pose while shooting is also very strange. There are also people who seem to be getting older.
Appearance summary: This is a tough, heavy brick.
According to Huawei's thinking: The Mate series is old-fashioned, and it is necessary to demonstrate the atmosphere's turbulence, business, or leadership. If you need a sense of technology and young capable, it is the P series.
Second, the virtual key and back fingerprint identificationAt the design level, frontal virtual keys and frontal fingerprint identification keys are contradictory and can create multiple chins.
Virtual Key
Advantages: 1, increase the proportion of information screen. 2, in the game when there is a larger display area and can prevent the game from touching.
Disadvantages: 1, most of the use of the scene, the virtual button will compress the screen display space. 2, information screen status, in addition to the front screen, no second interactive choice. (Huawei EMUI has not provided a double-click screen wake-up function)
Backside fingerprinting
Advantages: 1. The fingerprint experience in the holding state is very good. 2, fingerprint identification area can define more convenient gestures
Disadvantages: When the phone is operating on the desktop, it is a complete nightmare!
Evaluation of virtual keys and post-fingerprints is simple: Meizu's mBack interacts in one file, followed by the rest.
The next generation of fingerprint recognition innovation is to embed the fingerprint recognition layer in the screen. This FPC1268 has been prototyped. Nothing likes tossing the value of friends can go to the official website to look at, but also can find most of the commercially available models of FPC chip.

1, Kirin 950/955
The Kirin 955 is actually just a Kirin 950 with the A72 core peak frequency increased by 0.2GHz. According to the actual scheduling of the processor, it is actually the same.
Prior to the Kirin 950, Hass Semiconductor's previous mobile phone SOC had obvious shortcomings, and its evaluation was not high. Based on the previous failing grades, the progress of the Kirin 950 is huge.
The current improvements in processor microarchitecture efficiency are not as significant as those of process iterations. The primary contributor to the outstanding power consumption of the Unicorn 950 is the first mass-produced TSMC 16FF+ process (still the most advanced mobile SOC process at the moment).
The CPU and GPU adopted by the Kirin 950 adopt the ARM public architecture with a high degree of completion. It is commendable that Hass skipped the Cortex-A57 and Mali-T700 series, and the Cortex-A72 and Mali-T880 are used in one step in the first place. With a good manufacturing process, the energy efficiency ratio is very prominent.
Kirin 950 is the strongest performance at the time of release. Now, public opinion generally believes that this SOC peak performance is second only to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 and Samsung Exynos 8890 released later. With the launch of the 820 platforms such as ZUK, Nubia, and Xiaomi, onlookers have also found that the differences between the same processor and different mobile phone manufacturers are significant, leading to great differences in actual experience . Running points is increasingly meaningless.
Because Mate8 has better heat dissipation conditions and power, Unicorn 950 is only called "full blood" on Mate8. In other words, compared to P9 and Glory V8, the same Unicorn 950 and Mate8 can perform better in most cases.
Here to talk about MediaTek, MediaTek's problem is rooted in the process, in the Andrews processor architecture can not pull the apparent efficiency gap, the process is a can of SOC. MediaTek has developed multiple cores to run points and publicize. The delay in scheduling switching between processor-size cores has been a major problem, and the 3clusters in MediaTek's X20 series are basically a joke. In actual use, netizens are not overly preoccupied with MediaTek's "one-core problem, nine-core onlookers."
2, sorry CDMA baseband
Only the baseband of the CDMA mode is discussed here. The current CDMA patents are held by VIA Telecom and Qualcomm. Among them, VIA Telecom has stopped its baseband update early on, and it was acquired by Intel last year. Qualcomm is making rapid progress. The baseband of the entire system is simply one of the best.
At present, any mobile phone manufacturer has a big problem: how to get CDMA baseband.
Apple: Home Processor + External Qualcomm Baseband
Samsung: Although it developed its own processor as aggressively as Apple, the entire Netcom version abandoned its own SOC+ plug-in baseband solution and adopted a full set of Qualcomm SOC platforms.
MediaTek: MediaTek paid a license for CDMA to VIA a few years ago and has been able to develop CDMA baseband and integrate it into its own SOC.
In recent years, Huawei has all used the same baseband. The reasons for not adopting Qualcomm may be: competition and cost issues. In the end, Huawei's CDMA authorization time should be relatively late, so when the Kirin 950 was mass-produced at the end of last year, the CDMA baseband did not keep pace with itself.
The baseband of the Unicom 950 Full Netcom solution: its own Balong720 (Huawei's third-generation LTE baseband, 28nm) + external VIA Telecom CBP8.2D baseband (09 products, 55nm)
You can see that the CDMA baseband has a small footprint. The internal space of the mobile phone is very expensive, and manufacturers are eager to integrate all functional circuits into a single chip.
I have China Unicom and Telecom 4G cards in hand. In practice, there is no problem with heat dissipation. Regarding power consumption, in order to find out, I did a simple test: Turn off the WIFI, restart the empty background, and use Telecom cards and Unicom cards to perform a 3G pure standby test. The time is eight hours. The result is: Telecom 5%, Unicom 3%. This is an experimental reference that is not absolutely rigorous.
Thus, this plug-in baseband is a pity and will have an impact, but it will not be excessive . It is worth noting that the Kirin 650, which was mass-produced this year with the glory 5C, has integrated its own CDMA baseband. This is a milestone!
3, fans of the flash
In all of Huawei's official introductions, there is no formal reference to the flash specifications used by MATE8. The evaluation of the media basically said that the use of eMMC5.1 flash memory, but all indications that mixed with eMMC5.0
The official customer service answer is ambiguous. The AndroBench test on the hand was too much slower than the online media test. Go to the first experience shop and try Jazz 8, p9, V8. Found flash test results are generally low.
The left side is its own mobile phone, and the right side is a mobile phone (high-profile card gold) that has gone to the second Huawei experience store site to test on its own. My flash memory performance was a bit terribly low (similar to Nubian Z11's eMMC5.0). The test results on the right experience machine were much faster, but there was still a gap between random reads and writes (does the media use the test enhancement version?) )
I was on the spot in the store about AB compared to the APP response speed. Under the condition of clearing in the background, running the preset APP of the comparative mobile phone at the same time, the result is that besides the mobile phone on the right side of the microblog, the mobile phone is a bit faster, and there is no difference at all. Taobao seems to be even faster.
2846579 into engineering mode, check the hardware information. The EMUI version was not upgraded in the shop, and the hardware information was Samsung's flash memory (forget to take pictures). After I upgraded to the latest EMUI, "hardware information" was actually blocked. (It seems that manufacturers do not want you to check this)
We are bored and dig deeper into the teardown chart:
These two types of flash memory chips can be found on Samsung Semiconductor's official website, corresponding to eMMC5.0 and eMMC5.1. At the same time, other data indicate that Toshiba (THGBMFG8C4LBAIR) and SanDisk (No. unknown) are also suppliers, of which Toshiba's eMMC5.1 is a supreme level, and it should be one of the best.
Basically, it can be determined that Huawei Mate8 silently mixes eMMC5.0 and 5.1 flash memory randomly, and the flash memory test results must have obvious differences. In actual use, Huawei optimized the basic differences of flash memory device specifications by optimizing, but in some scenes where the flash load is heavy, there must be a difference in speed.
Fourth, NBA 2K16 This game has a heavy load on the phone, so take it for testing.
In actual games, the lowest frame rate will fall to 14-15 FPS and the highest frame rate is 25-26 FPS. The overall experience, barely able to play, but uncomfortable. PS: Why does this result seem to be a level with P9?
Fifth, camera imagingThe hardware uses SONY IMX298 CMOS with Sunny Optical's module, the algorithm is estimated to support the purchase, F2.0 aperture and three-axis image stabilization (shaking effect is very general)
Overall imaging: definitely better than the thousand yuan. Focusing speed is not dragging, but it always feels sharp and unnatural, and sometimes it's hazy. The daytime resolving power is good and it drops obviously at night. Can be summarized as Mate8 is the market's worst IMX298 camera phone, and Samsung's flagship and domestic camera brother plus one plus 3 there is a big gap. (The flagship of the Monkey King and the King of Shu should be at the same level as the goods)
1, comes with the theme of real land, can be replaced but can not be uninstalled.
I believe that most modern people appreciate themes and icon designs that do not come from the band. Get started with Mate8 and change the theme and wallpaper right away. Bring your own theme can not be deleted, this must be bad!
2, no interest screen double-click to wake up very bad! It is convenient to double-click the gesture control system notification panel on the back fingerprint area.
3, EMUI stability and speed optimization is very good! I hope my music app can be uninstalled.
Speed: The corresponding speed of Huawei Mate8 is really good. The animation transitions quickly and softly. The experience is smooth and smooth. I think the fluency Huawei Mate8 is the top Android player. (Which can explain why the backward flash memory can be tuned by Huawei without losing the effect of UFS 2.0 in the daily routine)
Stability and compatibility are also very good, no dead day, no flashback application.
4, knuckles screen to be optimized, extra voice wake up, split screen without success.
The screenshot of Mate8's knuckles is not very sensitive and needs to be tapped like a watermelon. It feels like the screen is broken. So most of the time, you use a shortcut to take a screenshot.
Regarding the awakening of the voice on TV commercials, if the mobile phone is covered by something thick, your crying mother will have no response. It's not as straightforward as dialing.
5, excellent communication experience, recording is very good!
Mate8 is a rare mobile phone that supports full Netcom dual SIM card dual standby dual pass ! When two cards are dual standby, two cards can be dialed and answered at the same time. The body has three noise-reducing microphones (on the top, on the right of the front camera, and on the bottom left). In the speaker-free surround mode, the limit of the measured normal speech volume is about 2.5 meters.
In terms of call quality, the receiver and the outside are full and satisfactory. There are multiple modes of recording, and you can also choose to play back with different sources independently during playback.
Address book features include: support for camera scan business card automatically identify contacts, this convenient and practical!
In addition, Mate8's loud speaker is an all-in-one sound chamber design (single-sided voice on the bottom right bottom), which is full of sound. Compared to the squeaky treble of most mobile phones (such as one plus three), individuals tend to feel this way.
Seven, summary
The biggest advantage: basic communication is very good; the speed is fast.
The biggest drawback: slag camera; too large (he likes to ignore this automatically)
Overall: Huawei Mate8 actually completely revolves around the pursuit of ageing aesthetic and business experience . The same level of local brands in the same field really can not find the opponent.
Eight, finallyWith regards to Hass Semiconductor, Huawei is currently solely responsible for this, and I think that Hass can consider opening up to other mobile phone brands. At present, the Android hardware SOC camp non-high-pass MediaTek, Qualcomm, MediaTek, mobile phone brand manufacturers is certainly the baby heart. Qilin SOC currently has a trend of getting better and better, and it can completely occupy the market to establish a brand image.
At the same time, looking back, Huawei cheated from the earlier K3V2 run to the previous S9 SLR proof doors, as well as the current cover of flash specifications. You will feel that Huawei is like a student who often steals a dog but has a bit of strength. He wants to make him bright and honest! Now the mobile phone industry is so impetuous, a major focus of manufacturers has been placed on how to avoid advertising law to put satellites as far as possible. The success of the blue-and-green factory made the merchant discover that using good information asymmetry, marketing can really sell high prices.
Huawei's mobile phone is the best international brand for localization, and it is the best localized brand for internationalization. Since it is doing well, it should be the atmosphere, with strength to compete with Samsung Apple. Good things, everyone will definitely see it.
