When it comes to specs, we found that device is powered by the Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system. To add to the features the device sports a Quad-core 2.3 GHz Cortex-A7 processor, which is expected to deliver powerful performance and low power consumption.
When discussing the device they said the Mate 8 processing power is not at the expense of its battery life and usability. With an impressive 4,000mAh high-capacity battery that offers more than one-and-a-half days of heavy use, nearly two-and-a-half days of regular use and an astounding 22 days’ standby time.
Should the need arise, they say, can watch 17 hours of continuous HD video, or navigate the web non-stop for 20 hours.
The latest device from Huawei features a rear-facing 16 Mega-Pixel (MP) camera as well as smart camera features such as Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) and Huawei’s new Image Sensor Processor (ISP).
When it comes to the front-facing camera Huawei revealed that the device will come packed with a 8MP camera, which can record video in 1080P.
Drawing on the performance and size of the Sony 16MP sensor, Huawei has upped the smartphone camera stakes by adding its proprietary image sensor processor for faster focusing, higher clarity, and according to the company, more accurate colours.
This new Image Sensor Processor, according to Huawei, delivers vivid images, which are improved further by the built-in Optical Image Stabilisation that uses intelligent light level monitoring and anti-shake technology to create unbelievably sharp, bright, and detailed images in low-light conditions.
The launch of a new product comes amid pressure over Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA)’s plan to effect a nationwide switch-off scores of counterfeit phones from the networks by employing the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI), number, the unique number assigned to individual mobile phones.
Mobile phone users as a result may perceive the proposed switch-off by June 17th this year as heralding unprecedented problems to the users but the stakeholders hold onto the opinion that the benefits outweigh the drawbacks in the long run.
