Huawei's Mate 8 is packing very powerful specs

Google's Nexus 6P is now considered one of the most popular smartphones but unbeknownst to many, the phone was actually created by Huawei.

This shows the Chinese company certainly knows what it’s doing when it comes to creating gadgets. That said, recently leaked details of the Huawei Mate 8 indicate the device is going to be regarded as a powerful smartphone once it’s released.

For the past couple of months, the Mate 8 has been at the center of many tech-related musings. The device's photos are still making their rounds all over the Internet. Several days ago, a new report from My Drivers News surfaced, suggesting the device is going to be launched either in late November or in early December.

With these release dates very near, new rumors point out the Mate 8’s mass production has already begun. None of the recently leaked details have been confirmed at this point.

Tech Times, however, has revealed that the 3 GB variant of the Mate 8 will cost around US$519 or AU$719 while its 4 GB RAM model will be priced at US$613 or AU$850.

The Mate 8 flaunts a 6-inch screen display with a resolution of 1,440p. The Nexus 6P, meanwhile, has a smaller 5.7-inch screen.

Huawei's new smartphone is expected to sport an aluminum body. It will boast of a 21 megapixel main camera on its rear while there will also be an 8 megapixel selfie shooter on its front.

The device will come out of the package running Android Lollipop, one that’s been pre-installed with Huawei's Emotion user interface, otherwise known as EMUI.

Although the Mate 8 already sounds solid, one of its best selling points is its Force Touch technology. This tech is also reportedly going into one of the variants of Huawei's Mate S, which isn’t yet available.
