Huawei Mate 8 Premium price in Malaysia starts from RM1899, putting it in the large-screen flagship category from Huawei's 2015 lineup. Inside is the Kirin 950 chipset, paired with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage that can be expanded via microSD up to 128GB, though that uses the second SIM slot. The 6.0-inch IPS-NEO LCD panel runs at 1080 x 1920 pixels, giving a pixel density around 368 ppi, and Android 6.0 Marshmallow runs the show.
The rear camera sits at 16MP with f/2.0 aperture and OIS, plus phase detection autofocus for quicker shots, while the front camera covers video calls at 8MP. Battery capacity is 4000mAh, non-removable, which suits the phone's 185g weight and 7.9mm thickness reasonably well.
Other inclusions worth noting are a fingerprint sensor, NFC, dual-band WiFi with WiFi Direct, and GPS with GLONASS and BDS support. It comes in Champagne Gold, Moonlight Silver, Space Gray and Mocha Brown.
