The Huawei P8 is an Android mobile with a good, very large, particularly high-resolution display. It also supports fast LTE connections and is very good for surfing and emailing. The device has an antenna problem: when touching a spot at the back top or bottom, the radio performance drops...

All in all, the Huawei P8 is a really interesting offer. Not much is missing to be able to play unchallenged in the concert of the big players. If you are looking at the price, don't need a 1000 euro status symbol and can live with a "super mid-range smartphone" instead of a "real" high-end device, you should definitely give the Huawei P8 a second look.
