Description

The Huawei P8 Max is an amply oversized version of its Huawei P8 flagship that sports a 6.8-inch display and is, therefore, a tablet as much as it is a smartphone. Although it is a legitimately humongous smartphone, the P8 Max is truly a maximized version of the P8 flagship, meaning that it retains the slim premium build. It features a thickness of 6.8mm, despite packing an appropriately huge battery. The P8 Max is built on the same platform as the flagship P8, as this is Huawei's latest and greatest technology, and anything less wouldn't make sense with this model.

Quite a good surprise!

Phone owned for less than a year

I was looking for something to replace my old Xperia Z Ultra. By chance, I found out the P8max. Sincerely I bought it with lots of doubts: build quality, global performance, UI,... after 6months: lot of good surprises, just hope having CM13, NFC and 0.2 extra inches on it to be perfect.

I like big phones - this one you can't fit to your pocket. It's more like pad than a phone. My previous phone is Mate 7 compared his size to my new P8 Max - Mate 7 looks like his little brother. For me this smartphone is almost perfect.

Big phone

I just sticked it up to my head, but this thing is top notch size because it fits up to my head, and I can replace my Nexus 7 tablet by this because it had about the same screen size, but only .2 in. smaller, and it is the biggest phone ever and it is a non pocket guy.
