Description

The Huawei G8 is equipped with a 5.5-inch 1080 x 1920 FHD resolution screen. That produces a pixel density of 401ppi. A 64-bit Snapdragon 615 SoC is under the hood, carrying an octa-core CPU and the Adreno 405 GPU. The handset provides 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal memory. Those who need additional storage will be able to do so thanks to the 64GB capacity microSD slot. On the back of the phone is a 13MP camera with a 5MP snapper in front for selfies and video chats. A 3000mAh battery keeps the lights on, and Android 5.1 is pre-installed with Huawei Emotion UI running on top.
