Basically the mate 8's kirin 950 has stronger CPU due to its new arm A72 cores for the performance cores. Nexus only has A57 for its performance CPU cores. The nexus has the stronger GPU though on its sd810 soc. This is why it scores higher in 3d benchmarks and plays games better.
Great video. I wanted a phone for dual SIM use to have my work and private SIM in the one phone. I got a Huawei Mate 8 64GB 4GB RAM. It arrived setup in Chinese and was able to get it in english. I have to admit though the crappy EI nearly ruins the phone and makes it feel cheap. There's some great features such as security and blocking app permissions in Android 6, displaying the bandwidth being currently used. It's a great feeling phone and I like the design. The camera appears fine for me coming from a Galaxy S5. The battery life has been insane yesterday with moderate use I still had 83% battery, where my S5 had about 50%. Hopefully there's more development with this phone if Cyanogenmod is made for this phone I think it would be great, as yeh the worst thing is the crappy Huawei UI.
1:21 "the speakers are rich and fulfilling on the 6P" watching this and heard that quote on these killer front facing speakers on my 6P :D 6P will reign king for longer! great video as always Kevin, keep it up my dude
can you please compare between Huawei G8 vs Huawei Mate 8? mate 8 has great features but 6 " screen device is difficult to carry around in pocket, but i am not sure about the battery , camera and overal perfomance of G8.
I'd be disappointed if google doesn't work with huawei for the 2016 nexus... they killed it this year when everybody was more or less doubting their success
I went out and got a Nexus 6P and this is one of the videos that helped in the decision making process. I love this phone. It's a bit heavy compared the my Note 5 but the build and audio quality is amazing.
i really like both phones but i wish the nexus 6p has the design of the mate 8 with front facing speakers plus have the speakers discreet like the alcatel one touch idol 3 and include a 4,000 mah battery.
I would say "This isn't a fair comparison" but even though it's 2016 I still prefer the 6p. I haven't used it or picked it just because it's amoled as better. It actually stands out (in a good way) and the hundred dollar difference helped my decision. That is alot of money when your being realistic.
Hi, mate 8 should have been the nexus 6p with oled display and front stereo speaker and 4gb ram..I would have compromised on the plain jane look, however visor is a sore .. I'm not able to go past it .. also its very tall for a phone. ergonomics is not good..(so much for material things google spoke about)...
nice video bro. I might wait and see if HTC bringing the heat this year. rumor has it they coming back to team up with Google on the 2016 Nexus. As long as they bring 5.5 inch display or higher and front speakers and 1440p - 4K res. Its going to be a Go! In the words of +FlossyCarter. lol
Hey so this is off topic. I have a Note 5 and use the Google Now launcher. I noticed Kevin had Motion Blur for his wallpaper on the 6p. Is there anyway to do that with the Google Now launcher on my Note 5?
6p all the way long. Loved it from day 1, still in love with it. I change phones quite a lot, but I think this guy will stick around for a while. After my N4, best bang for the buck.
mariaH yeah it is! You can apply tempered glass on it but it's pretty strong! I had the confusion as LG phones are awsome but v10 is a turn down for me, if you are a selfie and snapchat freak like I am Nexus 6p is better anyday or G4 ? As 8 mp in both of them, but 6p consists of ultra pixel as larger pixel size images are a lot clear, but G4 is a complete winner! Check some Huawei phones too heard they are great.
Huawei's UI is a deal killer for me, it may be even worse than TouchWiz. It looks way too much like iOS, and unlike TouchWiz doesn't seem to offer any useful features to justify it.
+amfrepo Nova can only change the look of the launcher. Everywhere else, including the menus and apps, will still be in Huawei's ugly theme. Plus, the bloat it has over stock Android won't go away.
+Soundtallica in Chains hi. It is near stock and very slick. Check this speed test out and see how close it is to the iPhone 6s and much quicker than the Nexus6p. The Chinese make the right design decisions, large battery, fast chips (no throttled 810) and 1080p screen. This gives optimum performance and is why it is much quicker than the 6p in demanding tasks. To sacrifice battery life and speed for the sake of a 2k screen is a no for me and that is why I have had to switch to China, currently using Oppo7r plus, as more and more OEMs get into a stupid screen resolution war. At least Apple has the sense to keep it at 1080p.

Cool thanks!

+Armando Ferreira he sounds awesome. good creativity.
That rap intro was great. Really awesome in-depth comparison video Kevin!
Hi Kevin.Huawei Mate 8 is it come to the US? Also will it work all carries? Thanks.
+NYCR there will be a US version coming soon.
Your new theme intro with the rap music is on point!
+Tarrell Johnson Had to mix it up. Shut out to Fastlane425 for that one.
What launcher are you using on your 6P it looks really good 👌🏻
Wesley Snipes doesn't appreciate the m8's lcd washed out blacks.
what about Whoopi Goldberg?
oh shit, expecting regular intro then hear some fire bars
+Andre Saddler (Ayysir) ya'll got too comfortable LOL Had to switch it up! lolol S/O Fastlane425
Kevin The Tech Ninja started to dab to it...another dope video btw
Lol ditto
The intro didn't even end and I was like, "MAAAN! This guy is DOPE", subscribed!
Btw, what theme you using on the 6p? ...
I think you were a bit unfair towards the mate 8!
That rap was dope! I'm working on mine right NOW! Wesley coming for ya! Great stuff keep it up Kev!
+Digital Swagg lol
I have been waiting for this comparison :)
I think these are some of the finest videos on TH-cam, thanks Kevin! :D
+Alec Robertson :)
Great Video Man, that intro is so cool!!
wow this video is really a step forward in terms of transitions editing and composition. love it keep up the good work
Thanks Vinx
I like your honesty! Got myself a 6p, ain't letting it go anytime soon!
Awesome video! Btw could you tell me wich icon pack you have on the 6P? and the link for the wallpaper on the Mate 8
yep, I have same question
which build quality do you prefer when it comes to a smartphone : All glass , metal , or polycarbonate aka : plastic ???
It's been asked before but I didn't see the answer: what icon pack and parallax wallpaper are used on the 6P? It looks awesome!
So, what's the final review result?
Great video. I wanted a phone for dual SIM use to have my work and private SIM in the one phone. I got a Huawei Mate 8 64GB 4GB RAM. It arrived setup in Chinese and was able to get it in english. I have to admit though the crappy EI nearly ruins the phone and makes it feel cheap. There's some great features such as security and blocking app permissions in Android 6, displaying the bandwidth being currently used. It's a great feeling phone and I like the design.

That mad dope rap in the intro is straight up..
1:21 "the speakers are rich and fulfilling on the 6P"
watching this and heard that quote on these killer front facing speakers on my 6P :D
6P will reign king for longer! great video as always Kevin, keep it up my dude
also, how did you skin your apps on the 6P?
front facing speakers are a dying breed. :(
hayaaaa
HAHAHAHHAAH
Awesome video bro, keep'em coming!
how'd you get the 3d parallax wallpaper on the 60
6p
I think it's just a live wallpaper
Solid review as always. Killer comparison too, going to be selling my X Style soon and get a 6P asap.
+achinthya prem I did the same thing myself. I absolutely love my 6P-- you won't be disappointed!
Great job. Really nice production.
Which icon pack and clock widget are you using on the nexus?
+Kevin The Tech Ninjia Are you rocking a Clear-Coat on the Nexus 6P? If so, is it legit?
@kevin really sick intro! that rap!
can you please compare between Huawei G8 vs Huawei Mate 8? mate 8 has great features but 6 " screen device is difficult to carry around in pocket, but i am not sure about the battery , camera and overal perfomance of G8.
What icon pack are you using on the 6p?
I'd be disappointed if google doesn't work with huawei for the 2016 nexus... they killed it this year when everybody was more or less doubting their success
Rumor has it they're going for htc
Great review! Nice comparison,agree with your opinion! Keep up the good work!
That intro. I thought this was going to be a Love & Hip Hop episode. Great review, thumbs up.
+awd111980 Love and Hip Hop.. not sure if that's a good thing or not.... butI'm glad you enjoy the video lol
I went out and got a Nexus 6P and this is one of the videos that helped in the decision making process. I love this phone. It's a bit heavy compared the my Note 5 but the build and audio quality is amazing.
You completing ROASTED Wesley Snipes on the sly. I died in laughter 😂😂😂😂
which clock widget and launcher you are using here? I also want to know about which icon pack you have used here?
Check description
Mate 8 ..faster, have better battery, best price..less fanboys.. I like that
hahaha.....same here ......... 😊😂👍
What kind of wallpaper is that on the Nexus 6P with the deep?
Holy moly!That rap was cool.
nice video kevin! I want the 6p so bad!

04:44 hahahahhahahaha nexus is a reversible phone? hahahahahahaha
exactly that's what I was thinking . nice mistake though hehehe !
in the camera app, yeah
+Antonio Henrique lmfao
Launcher?
Great vid KevintheTechNinja
i really like both phones but i wish the nexus 6p has the design of the mate 8 with front facing speakers plus have the speakers discreet like the alcatel one touch idol 3 and include a 4,000 mah battery.
Nice intro. Did you make it?
The chicken wine rent? Maby its me. Gonna here it more so
0.30.5
I think you have the normal mode on the mate 8 there is a performance mode
Can anyone link the wallpaper for the Mate 8? Thanks
I would say "This isn't a fair comparison" but even though it's 2016 I still prefer the 6p. I haven't used it or picked it just because it's amoled as better. It actually stands out (in a good way) and the hundred dollar difference helped my decision. That is alot of money when your being realistic.
awesome video bruh✊💜
For some reason the mate 8 design seems better to me. Maybe because I've seen the 6p alot idk
What's the clock widget in the 6p?
hey guys. What icon pack/theme is he rocking on the 6p?
so you are back to home from ces right 👍👍
tech ninja 😊
+VMTECH I am. Thanks!
Hi, mate 8 should have been the nexus 6p with oled display and front stereo speaker and 4gb ram..I would have compromised on the plain jane look, however visor is a sore .. I'm not able to go past it .. also its very tall for a phone. ergonomics is not good..(so much for material things google spoke about)...
the visor isn't as bad in person and it is in the videos.
I like what I am seeing from Huawei. I expect Huawei to put out a game changer soon.
nice video bro. I might wait and see if HTC bringing the heat this year. rumor has it they coming back to team up with Google on the 2016 Nexus. As long as they bring 5.5 inch display or higher and front speakers and 1440p - 4K res. Its going to be a Go! In the words of +FlossyCarter. lol
Hey so this is off topic. I have a Note 5 and use the Google Now launcher. I noticed Kevin had Motion Blur for his wallpaper on the 6p. Is there anyway to do that with the Google Now launcher on my Note 5?
+LARRY113Z Yeah it's a wall paper app that i used.. it's called minima pro
+Kevin The Tech Ninja Thanks man I appreciate the help and your videos! Keep it up man!
How did you get that clock widget can you show me how
6p all the way long. Loved it from day 1, still in love with it. I change phones quite a lot, but I think this guy will stick around for a while. After my N4, best bang for the buck.
I wonder what is taking Samsung so long to update the note 5 to 6.0 or 6.1? I'm sorry to go off topic hahaha!
For 2016 the mate 8 has budget to mid-range graphics power. Nexus 6P with Quad HD screen
What icon pack is that?
Been trying to find that wallpaper of Mate 8 for months. Does anyone know where I can find it?
Droping dem Bars!
xD, the Tech Ninja got mad bars.
Haha Thats not me. It's @James_C_L
+Kevin The Tech Ninja I knew it was him. I heard the track already. did spit that 🔥
+Kevin The Tech Ninja mate 8 because i jave a mate 7 now
Please help. Nexus 6p or lg v10?
6p
6p hands down
+Pratik Tulsyan but is it durable enough(glass breaking etc.) ? I'm planning on using it with a glass screen protector and a rugged case
mariaH yeah it is! You can apply tempered glass on it but it's pretty strong! I had the confusion as LG phones are awsome but v10 is a turn down for me, if you are a selfie and snapchat freak like I am Nexus 6p is better anyday or G4 ? As 8 mp in both of them, but 6p consists of ultra pixel as larger pixel size images are a lot clear, but G4 is a complete winner! Check some Huawei phones too heard they are great.
V10 has terrible battery
Quite a biased review.
great review ....
Good comparison and nice rapping
can u say the song which u played
Huawei's UI is a deal killer for me, it may be even worse than TouchWiz. It looks way too much like iOS, and unlike TouchWiz doesn't seem to offer any useful features to justify it.
Just put Nova Launcher or any launcher, so I don't see the problem???
+amfrepo nova it's only a launcher...
+amfrepo Nova can only change the look of the launcher. Everywhere else, including the menus and apps, will still be in Huawei's ugly theme. Plus, the bloat it has over stock Android won't go away.
+Soundtallica in Chains hi. It is near stock and very slick. Check this speed test out and see how close it is to the iPhone 6s and much quicker than the Nexus6p. The Chinese make the right design decisions, large battery, fast chips (no throttled 810) and 1080p screen. This gives optimum performance and is why it is much quicker than the 6p in demanding tasks. To sacrifice battery life and speed for the sake of a 2k screen is a no for me and that is why I have had to switch to China, currently using Oppo7r plus, as more and more OEMs get into a stupid screen resolution war. At least Apple has the sense to keep it at 1080p.
so the 6p is good for making TH-cam videos
Great Comparison!
Nice Vid Kevin won the giveaway Yesterday From Tyler Miller😁
+Nafeeur Rahman hahaha that does not count!
+Kevin The Tech Ninja Does the Mate 8 carry AT&T LTE
+Mark Bachir yes but not all bands.
+Kevin The Tech Ninja Would you advise waiting until a US version comes out?
Mark Bachir I don't know for sure if a US version is coming out.. so it's hard to tell. Sorry I wish i had a perfect answer.
what's the song from intro ?
4:42 lol you turned the phone the wrong way. great comparison though! keep up the good work
+Nick Gouda Doesn't matter which way you turn the phone on an image, it auto rotates. :: sigh :: Thanks.
+Kevin The Tech Ninja really? I've had the 6p for a couple months now, I guess I've never tested that. whoops
Kevin The Tech Ninja learn something new everyday
liked and subscribed. Nice vid
Huawei employees be like, well crap now we have to compete with our own devices
what kind of music for 0:25 minutes?
Only two words, Nailed it.
Two words. Thank you
I still want to buy mate 8 , i think nexus 6p is also manufactured by huawei
Really nice review, Nexus 6p all the way ✌
can anyone link me the background, clock and icon back used on the nexus 6p?
Kevin, you are right.
Huawei Kirin Chipsets are never stronger in GPU.
This chip is only powerful in CPU related tasks.
I don't think I'm gonna be able to use any other brand than a Google Nexus, whatever manufacturer it may be.
dude what's that clock !!
Can someone please link me the live wallpaper on the nexus!
Great video
Hey Kevin, I just wanted to tell you that your thumbnails are pretty dull which doesn't make the viewer click on it
Thanks for volunteering to make me some.
+Kevin The Tech Ninja nice video doe
a lot of your reasons for liking the Nexus are personal preference like the speaker's. I'd go with the Mate.
That's what youtube is personal opinions lol
