Huawei has a new phablet in store called the P8 Max, which comes with a massive 6.8-inch display with an impressively thin bezel.
As the name itself suggests, the new Huawei P8 Max comes as the larger version of the Huawei P8, but screen size is not the only difference between the two devices.
"The Huawei P8 max builds on the beauty of the P8 design and features a larger 6.8-inch screen, longer battery life and a unique camera with light tracing for any environment," the company touted in a new press release on Wednesday, April 15. "It also inherits the elegant ID design and extraordinary light painting capabilities of the P series devices. Together, these features deliver more fun to consumers through Huawei's new large screen smartphones."
The massive 6.8-inch display of the Huawei P8 Max features a full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, delivering sharp visuals. In fact, the company boasts that the P8 Max's display is the largest in-cell FHD in the world. Under the hood, the device packs a 64-bit octa-core HiSilicon Kirin processor paired with 3GB of RAM for a fast and fluid performance.
The Huawei P8 Max further comes with 64GB of internal storage capacity, a microSD card slot for additional memory of up to 64GB, a 13-megapixel rear camera, and a 5-megapixel front shooter for selfies. On the software side, the device comes with Android 5.0 Lollipop on board out of the box. The Huawei P8 Max also boasts an impressive battery life, as it packs a powerful 4,360 mAh battery.
"The 16:9 smartphone provides a better feel for consumers. Additionally, the large 4360 mAh battery features Huawei's power saving technology and power consumption management technology that ensures outstanding battery life. With this battery, consumers can watch downloaded video for over 15 consecutive hours. The front and rear cameras of Huawei P8max use a 5+13 mega pixel combination and the rear camera is equipped with a professional-grade Image Signal Processor (similar to the technology found in DSLR cameras) and dual-tone flash to bring out true color in night photos. Additionally, Light Painting and Director mode filming provide users with more creative instruments at their fingertips," the company further touts.
When it comes to pricing and availability, the new Huawei P8 Max will come in two models priced at €549 and €649, respectively, and will launch in more than 30 countries. More specific details should become available closer to launch.
