Huawei Mate 8 price in Malaysia starts from RM541, putting a big-battery flagship from 2015 within easy reach for anyone shopping on a tight budget. The Kirin 950 chipset pairs Cortex-A72 and A53 cores with a Mali-T880 MP4 GPU, running Android 6.0 Marshmallow on 3GB of RAM and 32GB storage that expands via microSD.
The 6.0-inch IPS-NEO LCD panel runs at full HD resolution, giving decent sharpness at 368 ppi for a phone this size. That 4000 mAh battery is the standout figure here, built for long stretches away from a charger.
On the camera side, there's a 16 MP rear shooter with OIS and phase detection autofocus, plus an 8 MP front camera for video calls and selfies. A fingerprint sensor, NFC, and dual-band Wi-Fi round out the feature list.
