I have Mate 7. Only complain, and it is quite big one, is that they make to good phones so when this one will come out I will have no reason to change my Mate 7 for Mate 8 because Mate 7 is still such a great phone.
+Shadow Slayer The M9 doesn't look that great compared to most phones on the market. The Mate 8 looks nothing like the M9 at all. Even the aluminum texture is different
A bit disapointed... this phone is missing a 2k screen. Would expect that from Huawei... maybe the P9 will have a 2k screen? Apart from that what a great device!
The markets they mainly sell in do not get hung up about 2k screens, they realise for the size 1080p is optimum and the trade up for better battery life is a boom. The 6p was for the US and Europe markets and for some reason many fandroids go OTT for having bigger and bigger specs even if the experience isn't worth the sacrifice.
+André Filipe Actually, Huawei is being wise... :D Tbh, you cant really differentiate 2k to 1080p. And huawei mate 8's screen size is for better battery life. If you compare it to samsung with QHD or 2K displays or even higher than that, their battery doesn't last that long.
+Ben Tarr I honestly don't know, but I remember reading a comment by one of the pocketnow members (when a sub asked about Hayato) stating that "he no longer worked for pocketnow".
The knucklehead knocked the screen so hard to give the impression that one need to knock on the screen quite hard to enable a screenshot. Good try in knocking a decently put together device.
+Jalen Gozun I love the UI.. its better than samsung or any other phones out there for me... And I would never wish for them to change it :) Just root your phone or install a good launcher. Simple.
+andres gonzalez its a great resolution for the phone to be honest. This screen resolution can save more battery life than having 2K or QHD on your phone and wont even last for a day. :D
Launcher looks a lot like IOS, I'm OK with that, but knowing how bland IOS is, if I get bored of it, I can just root the phone and get stock android, pretty good phone overall!
huawei copying literally everything from Apple & Samsung. Their designs are starting to look like different apple and samsung products and changing android into iOS..
Is it just me or does it seem like they've been raising pricing ever since they got the Nexus contract?
They think that they're the the new Samsung
Huawei's CES 2016 releases look really good especially this and the gx8
@michael fisher u r the best smartphone reviewer in the world...☺
Huawei stepping up to the plate
Wait, where is the review unit? The one not roped down. Pocketnow didn't get any?
+CHASE We got one but only after we'd shot the floor model. We'll have our usual full coverage coming soon! ^M
what happened to the Xperia Z5 review
what happened to the Xperia Z5 review
what happened to the Xperia Z5 review
+Raphaiel Ehab that phone meh, no need for reviewing
I like the look of things were getting here
Oh wow that screen-to-body ratio just makes the phone look so small and slim.
Hayato huseman is back?!
Beautiful design
Your descriptions for the CES videos have CES 2015 instead of CES 2016
First good phone of 2016
I like the rounded Camera
Didn't Hayato leave Pocketnow?
Was that a landscape homescreen at 2:10?
I have Mate 7. Only complain, and it is quite big one, is that they make to good phones so when this one will come out I will have no reason to change my Mate 7 for Mate 8 because Mate 7 is still such a great phone.
HAYATOOOO IS BACK 🎉🎉🎉
Hey it's Hayato!
May I use this phone in the US?
when will you change that music? it sounds like a documentary from the 90s
+Oussama Touahria The music sounds great. !
Thumbs up Micheal 👍👍 keep it up.
What is the usb charger they use ?
I like the M8 but this looks GR8 Mate
when will the mate 8 come to tha US +pocketnow
huawei m8 8?
will this work on T-Mobile?
They had the opportunity to call it the Huawei M8
Dayum that design. I'd never buy that, but dayum.
lol tru
Lol
where were u hayato????? I thought u lft pocktnw
what about battery backup ?
Great looking phone, too bad it will not make it to North America. I am looking for a 6"-7" phone. Thanks for the video, always the best.
Please look at the Faraday FF01
This will be great if it just thins out the UI a little more.
compare this to the size of the 6P Please!
true beauty
yeah... probably the most beautiful out there
+Abhishek Maddali one m9 looks better
+Shadow Slayer Not at all. The M9 looks ugly compared to a lot if the phones on the market right now
That's funny because this looks like a mix of the M series phones
+Shadow Slayer The M9 doesn't look that great compared to most phones on the market. The Mate 8 looks nothing like the M9 at all. Even the aluminum texture is different
Why is so expensive in UK?
Can I recommend thatthe host use the index finger when using the touchscreen? Middle finger looks dirty.
can someone tell me the disadvantages of iphone 6s and Samsung 7sand this and which one do u recommend to buy
Mate 8 what could be better
I have a p8 lite, and software is a Hitachi weak point. don't expect any future ota updates.
they forgot to put on a bitten fruit on the back.
If this had stock android. Perfect phone for me.
+Oliver Stapley so u don't care about front facing speakers?
Not really. Listen to everything with headphones. Its a great looking phone but the software kills it.
That's why the Nexus 6p is king
Yeah true. But it's so expensive and I don't really like the top black bar.
+Oliver Stapley why not install Google launcher or Nova? Both look pretty stock to me.
Já quero
This looks very promising. Too bad it won't reach shires on this side.
It's funny to see Michael with his clone.. Love your videos no hate :)
Wow, that skin is very similar to iOS.
The Huawei M8
Michael's pronunciation of 'Huawei' is the closest I've heard to being correct by a TH-camr. I know because I'm Chinese.
Ugh, that skin over stock android is absolutely horrible
For me and many others Stock android is uglier ;)
Martin Dimchev Name a skin that's nicer looking than stock.
+Sergio Velasco Exactly. There's no way Huawei's skin looks even close to as good as stock
Google Store has plenty of launchers. stop whining about original skin
+Yong Je Can't you only change the app icons?
I didn't realize that I was early until I saw the comments
i will buy this one! :))
m8-8 i would imagine Britans would like this phone...
i have the p8 and the p8 lite but its cant play google play movies
good but at vietnamese not have

+Zaeyou Cui i have a note 4 and i get 5:30 to 6h screen on time. excelent battery life my friend.
I thought Hayato got fired from Pocketnow?
the audio in the last Video was glitched out a little bit😅
+Ben Tarr I honestly don't know, but I remember reading a comment by one of the pocketnow members (when a sub asked about Hayato) stating that "he no longer worked for pocketnow".
OK lol i thought of something else xD
This is what you call iOS theme of Android. Mate 8, M8, doesnt it remind you of something that kinda also looks like it?
I want a 6 inch screen but Note 6 will probably be 6 inches so I'll wait
HTC design, ios UI, LG nav buttons. No thx
I was saying the same thing
does look nice.*look*
damn that is ios ui look I thought it wasn't really a ios ui then when I say the folder open yup its ios ui look
Nav button is Google
Jäčķīê Ğö Google nav buttons aren't that big
The Huawei Mate 7 still doesn't have Android 5.0
I get it, most of this device is derivative, but that 83% screen to body ratio? That's what got my attention
That's the right way to knock. (y)
Hi
The knucklehead knocked the screen so hard to give the impression that one need to knock on the screen quite hard to enable a screenshot. Good try in knocking a decently put together device.
They should've called it "Gr8 b8, m8".
lol
This phone has 90,000+ on benchmark test wtf
Why oh why can't this come to America?
+mutaween464 They are planning to ...
+mutaween464 because apple will sue them
I hope they'll change the UI to stock android. Great phone but the interface drags it down like an anchor.
They would never do that
+Jalen Gozun I love the UI.. its better than samsung or any other phones out there for me... And I would never wish for them to change it :) Just root your phone or install a good launcher. Simple.
so i have the P8 for a half year, the EMUI is like = = lol
why didnt they call it huawei m8? that would have been awesome :D
I just hope the camera is competitive against the Samsung phones (King of smartphone cameras) and priced better. If it is, they will get my money.
Shoot the bird at us why don't you lol
the software is very similar to ios
Everything is perfect, except the iOS style launcher... IMO only. If Huawei make a launcher like Google Now Launcher, I buy this phone.
And no 4K video recording...
ya
Miui 7 the best android system.
UI looks like an android skin that is supposed to mimic iOS
nice
Is a powerful smartphone, but it seems to me who stayed in resolution of screen.
+andres gonzalez its a great resolution for the phone to be honest. This screen resolution can save more battery life than having 2K or QHD on your phone and wont even last for a day. :D
iPhone 7 running iOS 10
Most Android growth are from iPhroid phones proving most people just want a cheaper iPhone with expandible storage.
Launcher looks a lot like IOS, I'm OK with that, but knowing how bland IOS is, if I get bored of it, I can just root the phone and get stock android, pretty good phone overall!
so now people are wanting 6 inch screens?
Mybe 7 or 8
My hands can barely handle 5.7 please make them stop
+Joshua J (dragonjdj) then dont buy the phone. Simple.
The UI is so much similar to iOS, which I don't like btw.
m8 8 gr8
ios...
Basically a Nexus 6p
It just has a different software skin.. Design wise, this phone looks similar to Nexus 6p. That's all I said.
+MashLegend I'd say somewhat true
not even close
***** That is the reason why I said they look similar because they are both made by the same company.
***** Its good bro, You don't have to apologize. I am actually loving Nexus 6p: its very fast.
So expensive
Huawei mate, huawei nae nae 😂😂
galaxy phone
All phones are becoming iPhones
Please make them get rid of Emotion UI. oh my god it makes me want to die
Don't miss:"Black screen.'' Haha definition of laziness.
gr8 b8 m8 i r8 8/8
Cue b8 m8 jokes
I'm early for once
last!
You made it! :D
i r8 8/m8 8

hayato is back , now he is ugly and he is called jules wang
Terrible interface design for obvious reasons.
