Huawei P8 Challenges Galaxy S6 with Superslim Steel Design
http://media.bestofmicro.com/Z/S/491176/gallery/huawei-p8-lead-event-pic_w_600.jpg (http://www.tomsguide.com/us/slideshow/huawei-p8-lead-event-pic,0101-491176-0-2-12-1-jpg-.html)
LONDON -- How do you stand out in today's sea of smartphones? Huawei is betting on the premium design of the P8 to win over shoppers. Announced today (April 15), the Huawei P8 sports a fetching design made of steel and glass, and it's only 0.25 inches thin (thinner than the Galaxy S6). Other highlights include an octa-core CPU, 5.2-inch full HD screen and a new Super Night Mode for the 13-megpaixel camera.
The US variant of the Huawei P8 will arrive stateside in May, and retail unlocked for under 500 euros (about $529). Huawei also launched the huge 6.8-inch P8 Max phablet, which will be available globally next month. During my preview of the P8 (international version), I was charmed by its looks and intrigued by its potential.

While the generic-looking, black rectangle didn't immediately wow at first, I was won over with a single touch. The steel unibody and glass construction feels solid and luxurious. With a barely-there profile of 0.25-inches and a 5.2-inch 1080p display, the P8 is minimalistically sexy. There is nothing on the front other than the 8-megapixel camera and a small 2 by 3 grid of sensors above the screen. The phone's also available in silver and gold.

The P8 is one of the slimmest smartphones around, beating the Samsung Galaxy S6 (http://www.tomsguide.com/us/samsung-galaxy-s6,review-2715.html) (0.27 inches), the iPhone 6 (http://www.tomsguide.com/us/apple-iphone-6,review-2390.html) (0.27 inches) and the HTC One M9 (http://www.tomsguide.com/us/htc-one-m9,review-2713.html) (0.37 inches). I liked the small square power button on the right side, below the volume rocker, as it's easier to press and identify by touch than some competitors.
Specs Inside, the P8 carries Huawei's own 2.0-GHz octa-core, 64-bit Kirin 930 CPU with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. A 2,600-mAh battery also sits under the hood. That's bigger than the Galaxy S6's 2,550-mAh one, which lasted 8 hours and 32 minutes. The P8, however, is smaller than the HTC One M9's (2,840 mAh), which lasted 7:14. The P8 supports NFC and Bluetooth 4.0.
During my time with the P8, the phone was mostly zippy when opening apps and sliding between home pages. It did struggle to keep up sometimes, pausing to return to the home screen from the camera app, for instance. I liked how bright and sharp the display was, and viewing angles were generous -- the image quality did not change as I tilted the phone from side to side.
Camera Improvements The P8 carries the same 8-MP front and 13-MP rear camera setup as its predecessor (Huawei Ascend P7), but has a new Super Night mode to enhance low-light shooting. Huawei said the new mode is optimized to leave the shutter open for longer and reduce noise (grain) when activated. The P8 offers an Ultra Panorama mode that lets you shoot panoramic scenes not just horizontally but vertically as well, for a more rounded, almost 360-degree view. A cool new Light Painting mode (in low light) uses long exposure to let you capture the path of moving light, as if you were painting with a light source.
Aspiring filmmakers will appreciate the P8's cool new Director Mode, that lets you record, in real-time, video from four different smartphones. As long as one of the four is the Huawei P8, it doesn't matter what the other three are. After filming, you can immediately stitch together and edit the footage from the phone's app for a multi-cam video.
Software: Android Lollipop with Emotion UI 3.1 The P8 runs Android 5 Lollipop with Huawei's Emotion UI (http://emui.huawei.com) 3.1 overlay. This software skins the OS with quaint-looking icons for apps such as browser, files and messages. It removes the apps drawer as well, putting all your downloaded programs on the home screen, a la iOS. With Emotion UI, you can create custom skins, which lets you set your own icons, color schemes and backgrounds. This feature will not be available in the US, however.
http://media.bestofmicro.com/0/L/491205/gallery/huawei-p8-front_w_600.jpg
As on the Ascend P7, you can double press the volume down button when the device is locked to quickly snap a picture without having to open the camera app. I found this to be very handy, although the pictures I snapped came out blurry. Since you won't be able to see what you're shooting onscreen, your pictures shot this way might not be framed the way you intended. But this is a nifty feature for when you want to quickly capture a fleeting moment.
In place of your typical Google apps, the P8 uses its own apps, including Huawei's Browser, Camera, Clock, Phone, Messaging and File Manager. You'll have access to the Play Store to download other options. Huawei also loads the P8 with Search, Music, Huawei Cloud+ (available in some countries for data backup) apps, which are somewhat helpful. It's not clear specifically which apps will be available on the US version just yet.
Enhanced for connectivity Huawei says it optimized the P8 for connectivity in a number of ways. First, the phone will more quickly connect to a network during bootup. It will also automatically detect the strength of your cell and Wi-Fi connections and switch to the stronger of the two for better speeds. You can choose to enable this feature automatically or have it ask you before switching, so you don't accidentally get off Wi-Fi abroad and drum up roaming charges.
P8 Max phablet The company also unveiled its large 6.8-inch P8 Max phablet at the event. It looks like a supersized P8 but also a little like the iPhone 6 Plus. At 0.26 inches thin though, the P8 Max is one of the slimmest phablets around, compared to the iPhone 6 Plus (0.28 inches) and the Galaxy Note 4 (0.4 inches). The P8 Max sports a display that Huawei claims is richer and more vivid than the iPhone 6 Plus. It will also run Android 5 Lollipop with Emotion UI, and comes with Split Windows and other features that make use of the large screen for better multitasking.
The P8 Max's large 4,360-mAh battery will last about 2.23 days and 1.4 days of normal and heavy use respectively, according to Huawei. And with the company's patented 7-layer heat conduction thermal tech, the P8 Max should stay cool regardless of how much you use it.
Outlook While the Huawei P8 is definitely sexy and packs some nifty software features, it will need to take on the similarly handsome Galaxy S6, which is our Android smartphone of choice. The S6 has a sharper quad HD display and packs one of the best cameras in a phone yet. But if priced agressively, Huawei could make a splash in the US.

Huawei P8max Unveiled: Ultra-Slim Flagship With Advanced Camera Features, Long Battery Life
Huawei P8max http://media.bestofmicro.com/3/8/491300/gallery/p8-max_w_450.jpg (http://www.tomshardware.com/gallery/p8-max,0101-491300-0-2-9-1-jpg-.html)Huawei also announced the P8max, which comes with a slightly more powerful SoC called the Kirin 935. The GPU seems to be the same Mali-T628MP4, but its "higher-end" big.LITTLE cluster is clocked at 2.2 GHz, giving it a 10 percent boost in performance.
The Huawei P8max comes with a much larger 6.8" screen, which also happens to be the largest "in-cell" Full HD display in the world. The device has a screen-to-body ratio of 83 percent, which is among the highest in the industry.
The screen has a contrast ratio of 1500:1, and according to Huawei, that makes it the most vivid display with a color saturation of 95.6 percent (presumably on the sRGB scale). In comparison, the iPhone 6 has a color saturation of only 69.5 percent. The screen is also optimized to look clearer in direct sunlight thanks to its "Sun View" mode. The screen is covered by the latest and much more durable Gorilla Glass 4, as well as a spill-resistant nano-coating.
http://media.bestofmicro.com/2/7/491263/gallery/p8max-battery_w_600.png (http://www.tomshardware.com/gallery/p8max-battery,0101-491263-0-2-12-1-png-.html)While its smaller brother, the P8, only has a 2,600 mAh battery, the P8max has a much larger 4,360 mAh battery. This translates to 2.23 days of normal usage and 1.4 days of heavy usage, according to Huawei.
The P8max is slightly thicker than the P8, but it's the same thickness as the Galaxy S 6 at only 6.8 mm. Its direct competitors, the iPhone 6 Plus and the Galaxy Note 4, have thicknesses of 7.1 mm and 8.5 mm, respectively.
The P8max has 94 percent (aluminum alloy) metal in its body, which seems to be a dig at competitors such as Samsung that have metal in their devices but also make use of plastic.
http://media.bestofmicro.com/1/P/491245/gallery/huawei-split-screen_w_600.png (http://www.tomshardware.com/gallery/huawei-split-screen,0101-491245-0-2-12-1-png-.html)One extra feature that the P8max has that the P8 doesn't is a split screen mode wherein you can use two apps at the same time. This feature works better on larger devices such as the 6.8" P8max, which is likely why Huawei didn't enable it on the P8. The feature is similar to what Samsung has been doing with its Note-series devices, but it only works when the device is horizontal.
The Camera And Its Exciting "Director Mode" http://media.bestofmicro.com/2/1/491257/gallery/p8-director_w_600.png (http://www.tomshardware.com/gallery/p8-director,0101-491257-0-2-12-1-png-.html)Huawei spent a great deal of time at its live press event talking about the P8's camera, and assuming that the company's claims regarding performance are accurate, it's easy to see why. The 13MP camera itself is flush against the body of the phone and features OIS and a "DSLR-level" independent ISP from Altek, and it features 4-color RGBW imaging for brighter images in high-contrast conditions, and far less noise in low-light situations.
Huawei claimed that the P8's OIS is essentially twice as good as the iPhone 6's (1.2 degrees versus 0.6 degrees). The ISP should also aid in image noise reduction, and it offers scene recognition, face detection, and optimization technology, as well the promise of better exposure, white balance and more natural-looking colors.
In the auto scene recognition feature, the camera apparently shoots four simultaneous frames at different exposures and layers them together, allowing the software to generate the best possible composite exposure.
There's also a light painting function, where you can capture a subject tracing light (such as someone waving a flashlight to write their name in the air), as well as the ability to get an instant and accurate preview of the image you're shooting.
That's all well and good, but possibly the most interesting feature of the P8's camera is the ability to link several smartphones and shoot simultaneous video from multiple angles with "Director Mode." You can link up to four total smartphones and shoot the same subject from the four different angles, and you can apparently edit the video and choose various angles at different points in the video on the fly.
At least one of the smartphones has to be a Huawei P8; Huawei was not clear about what other smartphones support the feature.
This is an amazing feature for guerrilla video makers, and it plays directly into YouTube's (presumably upcoming) Choose Your View multi-angle experience (http://www.tomshardware.com/news/youtube-testing-multi-angle-features,28512.html). With Director Mode and Choose Your View, anyone with a few smartphone-wielding pals can shoot a video and provide viewers with multiple viewing options.
Other Features It appears that Huawei really focused on solving common smartphone problems and user experience issues with the P8 rather than just throwing in the highest-performing available components, and for that the company deserves laud.
It also seems to be taking aim specifically at Apple's iPhone 6, as opposed to the whole of the flagship smartphone market. The P8 is a true attempt at an "iPhone killer."
Antennas And Connectivity
http://media.bestofmicro.com/2/O/491280/gallery/huawei-signal_w_600.png (http://www.tomshardware.com/gallery/huawei-signal,0101-491280-0-2-12-1-png-.html)Huawei put two antennas in the P8 to avoid any issues with signal blockage due to hand placement. (You may recall that Apple had a problem with this in the iPhone 4.) The P8 intelligently switches the signal depending on where your hand is located, and it claims to accomplish the handoff remarkably faster than any other device. It also claims that users will experience half as many dropped calls and a 20 percent increased call connection rate over competitive handsets.
Huawei touted its Huawei Wi-Fi+ feature that's designed to automatically connect your P8 to the best available Wi-Fi network. It automatically switches depending on where you are -- such as your living room or at work -- and it also appears to intelligently switch to a 3G or 4G network when needed.
When you're roaming, the Huawei Roaming+ feature is designed to ensure that, for example, when you land in a new country and fire up the phone, you'll experience a 3x faster connection to the network.
Speaking of roaming, although the P8 comes in a single-SIM variant, there's also a dual-SIM model that supports two 4G LTE SIMs. The P8 has two nano SIM slots, although one of the two can also handle a Micro SD card. Huawei said that you can "easily configure" the dual-SIM setup "in seconds."
There are less notable but certainly welcome features, too, such as the Smart International Dialer. Simply put, this feature lets you call numbers in other countries without having to remember the country codes.
Call Quality, Audio And Voice Commands
http://media.bestofmicro.com/1/E/491234/gallery/huawei-p8-voice_w_600.png (http://www.tomshardware.com/gallery/huawei-p8-voice,0101-491234-0-2-12-1-png-.html)Huawei also focused on call quality. (How about that?) The company promised a 58 percent bump in volume over the competition with "loud voice mode," and with its "super hands-free mode" (aka "speaker mode"), the P8's high-sensitivity mic and dynamic range speaker will provide "crystal clear" performance for, for example, conference calls.
Huawei accomplished the better hands-free experience using its audio DSP processor, a smart power amplifier (PA), and a single-box speaker chamber that is tiny but can apparently significantly boost volume. (This is also ideal for playing music.) Huawei stated that the speaker mode experience will be ideal for anyone sitting within two meters of the device.
The P8 is designed to cut down on ambient noise and wind, too. The DSP in tandem with an algorithm promises a 90 percent reduction in wind noise when you're using a single-mic headset. Huawei offered a demo -- a recording of a caller chatting in a windy environment. With the wind noise reduction applied, the difference in noise was remarkable.
Unlocking a device can be a minute but grating chore, but you can unlock the P8 using Huawei's TalkBand B2 (or, Huawei said, "any Bluetooth device," although it's quite unclear what that means exactly).
One of the most attractive new features pertaining to voice and audio is the ability to find your P8 in a room just by calling for it. We've all been there -- having to ask a friend or spouse to call your phone so you can locate it in the car, or living room, or wherever. With the P8, you can simply speak, "Hi buddy," (or whatever your preset command is), "Where are you?" The handset will eerily reply, "I'm here" and play music to guide you to its location. Your voice command will wake it up even if it's sleeping; this state is very low power and thus shouldn't drain the battery.

The two devices will soon be available, initially in more than 30 countries including China, Columbia, France, Germany, Mexico, Spain, South Africa, Turkey, UAE and the United Kingdom, with a global (100 countries) rollout a month later.

Boas!
Esse telemovel tem excelente aspecto e specs...
No entanto não tem o Bling de uma Samsung, LG, Sony ou até Apple...
Quando se tá já tanto dinheiro pelo telemóvel, á que se sentir que se está a fazer um investimento... E infelizmente a verdade é que apenas no Apple Iphone poderemos ter um investimento e retorno em venda com menor desvalorização...
Cumprimentos,

Android em força, Windows fica de fora. Estes são os planos da Huawei para os smartphones
Os objetivos da Huawei na conquista de uma maior quota de mercado de smartphones são ambiciosos e suportados numa estratégia de aposta em sistemas operativos, chipsets e design com reconhecimento do mercado. Há alguns meses os responsáveis da Huawei já tinham adiantado que o sistema operativo móvel Windows não era rentável, mas apesar do lançamento do Windows 10 previsto para este verão, um regresso continua fora da estratégia da empresa.
À margem do lançamento de ontem do Ascend P8 (http://tek.sapo.pt/tek_mobile/equipamentos/galaxy_s6_e_s6_edge_enorme_procura_pode_gerar_1437 810.html), Richard Ren, presidente da área de equipamentos da Huawei para a Europa Ocidental confirmou ao TeK que não há planos para novos equipamentos da marca com este sistema operativo.
“Na área dos OS e chipset a Huawei sempre escolheu o mais forte. E hoje quando olhamos para o market share vemos que o Android domina e que o Windows é um mercado de nicho”, justifica Richard Ren em entrevista ao TeK. Mesmo o lançamento do Windows 10 não trará mudanças, acredita o responsável pelo mercado europeu, que afirma ser já tarde. “O tempo passou para eles. Era o mesmo que tentar lançar outra rede social agora”.
Em termos de mercado a Huawei tem um posicionamento muito agressivo e quer estar nos próximos três anos no top 3 do mercado europeu, não só no volume mas também no valor e por isso a empresa prepara-se para lançar mais produtos premium. Richard Ren garante que no sul da europa, em países como Espanha ou Itália, a quota de mercado da Huawei já ronda os 9 a 10% e que estes números vão ser consolidados ainda este ano.
A Huawei está a apostar em três linhas de produtos, com lançamentos espaçados no tempo: o P para premium, o Mate que faz a ponte entre os phablets e os smartphones, e a série G, onde a marca quer ganhar no volume mas com equipamentos de qualidade e bom design.
Para já também a aposta em ecrãs curvos – que estão a ser a grande sensação com o Galaxy edge da Samsung – está também afastada dos planos da empresa. “Estamos a apostar no full metal no qual os clientes têm mostrado muito interesse […] Não sabemos se o mercado vai aceitar bem os ecrãs curvos. Se os clientes não encontrarem uma aplicação que faça sentido é só uma funcionalidade que custa mais 200 euros”, explica Richard Ren.

Faz todo o sentido, dado que já se viu que o Winphone não sair de onde está nos proximos tempos, continuará a ser um SO de nicho sem grande expressão de mercado que justifique a aposta de quem quer conquistar quota de mercado com novos terminais moveis.

The Huawei P8 Review (http://www.anandtech.com/show/9260/the-huawei-p8-review)
http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9260/P1030065_678x452.jpg
Introduction It’s been a month now since Huawei launched its new smartphone flagship, the P8. Huawei started Ascend P-line of smartphones back in 2012 with the launch of the Ascend P1, and has since iterated every year with the follow up P6, P7, and this year’s P8. A notable deviation from the standard naming scheme is that Huawei chose to drop the Ascend brand and this year’s official name is simply the “Huawei P8”. The P-series targets the higher-end market through more robust and premium build quality, while the separate Honor brand is targeted at mainly the Chinese and other budget markets. The Mate family covers the phablet form-factor, although Huawei now also offers a super-sized P8max with 6.8” screen that kind of blurs the size segmentation.
In trying to broaden our coverage of emerging players in the mobile space, we had the pleasure of extensively covering two of Huawei’s devices over the last year – the Honor 6 (http://www.anandtech.com/show/8425/huawei-honor-6-review) and the Mate 7 (http://www.anandtech.com/show/8655/the-huawei-ascend-mate-7-review), so be sure to read those articles to have a good overview of Huawei’s previous efforts in terms of Emotion UI software implementations and specifics of the HiSilicon Kirin SoCs.
http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9260/P1020975_575px.jpg (http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9260/P1020975.jpg) The P8 succeeds the Ascend P7 – both are the 5” form-factor devices aiming at the high-end segment. The P8 differs quite a lot from the P7 by ditching the glass back in favour of an all-metal unibody with rounded sides. The size also goes up a bit as the display continues to grow from 4.7” and 5” on the P6 and P7 up to 5.2” on the P8. The device gains 3mm in width and 5.1mm in height over its predecessor, reaching dimensions of 144.9 x 71.8 x 6.4mm. The device remains still very thin at 6.4mm and thus helps its ergonomics.
Before we look closer at the design choices, let’s go over the specifications of the P8’s hardware.

Huawei continues to use its in-house HiSilicon-designed SoCs with the use of a new Kirin 930 or 935. The SoC is a dual-cluster piece sporting a total of 8 ARM Cortex A53 CPU cores. Differing from the usual big.LITTLE implementations were the silicon vendor would choose to use two differing CPU architectures, the Kirin 930’s use a low-frequency and leakage optimized A53 cluster paired with a high-frequency and higher leakage variant. HiSilicon calls this higher frequency core an A53e, although the piece should have no architectural differences to a traditional A53 other than an optimized physical layout to enable the higher operating frequencies.
There was some confusion as to why two SoC model numbers were referenced during the announcement of the device, but the end story seems to be is that HiSilicon brands the same piece of silicon; the Hi3635 differently based on the frequency binning it is able to reach. As such, the cheaper variants of the P8 and P8max come with the Kirin “930” with the fast A53 cluster clocked in at 2.0GHz and 16GB of NAND memory, while the more expensive models with 64GB of storage come with the Kirin “935” clocking in at up to 2.2GHz on its performance cluster. We’ve already seen this practice in the Honor 6 and Mate 7, both using the same Hi3630 chipset but branded slightly differently (Kirin 920 and Kirin 925) due to the higher clocks on the latter model.
Other than the CPU architecture change, the Hi3635 seems to differ very little to the Hi3630. We still see an ARM Mali T628MP4, running at slighter higher clocks of 680MHz. The memory sub-system is also again furbished by a 32-bit dual-channel LPDDR3-1600 memory controller design, which serves 3GB of total memory in all of the P8’s models. As expected, Huawei continues to use TSMC’s 28nm process;
HiSilicon first equipped an integrated modem in the Kirin 920, and the 930 continues this although with a slight downgrade in capability as it only supports UE Category 4 LTE speeds, reaching up to 150Mbps downstream and 50Mpbs upstream.
http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9260/P1030034_575px.jpg (http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9260/P1030034.jpg) It’s on the camera that Huawei has undoubtedly focused most of its attention on in the P8. We had some very harsh words for the Honor 6’s and Mate 7’s camera performances, as both featured very disappointing photo and video quality. The P8 looks to change this through the introduction of a brand new Sony sensor, the IMX278. This is the second kind of implementation RGBW (Or RGBC) after the OmniVision unit found in the original Moto X (http://www.anandtech.com/show/7235/moto-x-review/10). Huawei also abandons on-SoC still-image processing for a dedicated Altek external ISP. To finish things off, the camera module supports two-axis optical image stabilization with up to 2° of movement freedom. All these changes mark a significant upgrade for Huawei, and it seems to pay off for the P8, which we’ll cover in more detail in the camera section.

http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9260/P1020978_575px.jpg (http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9260/P1020978.jpg) Getting back to the P8’s design, we see an evolution of the all-metal chassis which was introduced in the Mate 7. The P8 remains a unibody design with a non-removable 2680mAh (10.19Whr) battery. The front of the phone follows the traditional slab design with the 1080p screen taking up 78.3% off the front’s footprint. It should be noted that the black frame surrounding the actual screen makes it seem as if the device’s size-bezels are much smaller than what they really are, something which is very visible on the lighter coloured models.

http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9260/P1030032_575px.jpg (http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9260/P1030032.jpg) As opposed to the left side of the device which is barren of any feature, the right side holds the volume rocker and power button as well as the ejectable trays for the nanoSIM as well as nanoSIM/microSD combo. The volume rocker is very clicky and distinguishable from the power button, which not only has a characteristic texture on it but is also surrounded by an indent differentiating itself from the otherwise round sides. Speaking of the sides, the curvature makes for a very comfortable grip which is accentuated by bevels on the front and back.
http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9260/P1030012_575px.jpg (http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9260/P1030012.jpg)
http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9260/P1020998_575px.jpg (http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9260/P1020998.jpg) On the top of the device we find the 3.5mm headphone jack and the top auxiliary microphone. The bottom is more interesting as the microUSB 2.0 port is flanked by two Torx screws and two symmetrical speaker grills. I tried dismantling the device by trying to remove the screws and lifting up the device's screen, but it seems that Huawei also employs additional adhesive to hold the metal shell and the screen together.
Huawei called the design a “single audio chamber speaker system”, but in practice the right grill is essentially just for aesthetics and only serves as a housing for the bottom microphone. Covering up the left grill will completely dampen the audio output of the device. Nevertheless, the P8 is still able to output very loud and clear audio with good depth.
http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9260/P1030040_575px.jpg (http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9260/P1030040.jpg)
http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9260/P1020989_575px.jpg (http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9260/P1020989.jpg) The back of the device is accentuated by the plastic injection mold lines (which serve as dielectric dividers for the device’s antennas) at the bottom of the phone, while the top part we see a glass piece serving both as the cover glass for the camera and design element as it continues for the whole width of the device, which comes in either white for the brighter coloured phone options or black for the darker variants.
Huawei was proud to show off the ability to keep the camera flush with the rest of the phone. It seems they even managed to have some leeway here as the camera module seems to be still 1.5mm underneath the glass.

Boas!
Depois de ter passado pelo Iphone 6 e não me ter adaptado ao sistema operativo e no fundo a toda a forma de trabalhar da apple...
Vou vender o bicho e vou voltar ao Android.
Decidi que prefiro mudar anualmente de android de gama média, do que investir nos topos de gama que para o ano já valem menos de metade...
Assim sendo vou apostar no Huawei Ascend G7!
Um telefone super competente por um preço interessante (á volta dos 220€)...

Do que eu vi parece-me ser um pouco melhor que o que eu ia comprar...
Mas pelo que percebo não está ainda disponível correcto? Na loja online da BQ não está nada lá...
Tem lá também uma versão com 2gb de ram e outra com 3gb de ram por mais 25€... Não sei se vale a diferença ou nem por isso...

Ok, já estive a ver e a ler sobre os M5 da BQ, e sinceramente é caro para o que eu procuro...
a versão mais barata vai custar 280€ e a com 3 gb perto de 300€...
Eu consigo o Ascend G7 por 204€ e praticamente é o que esse vai ser...

E o One Plus One? A versão de 16GB está a 250€ e sinceramente parece-me um "no brainer" pelo preço.

Sem duvida que o One Plus One e' o melhor que se pode comprar pelo preço e agora sem convites melhor ainda.
LPC, cuidado com essas marcas malucas, poupas 100€ e depois nao tens updates... e tens de andar com ROM manhosas que ninguem faz para esses modelos... :) as vezes o barato sai caro! ;)

Não era preciso um convite para comprar o One+One?

Tal como o Jorge disse já não é preciso convite para comprar o OPO.
Quanto ao software, não existe problema nenhum, nem me lembro de alguma vez ter havido.

Sinceramente não gosto do sistema operativo do gajo...
Para quem vem de Android, acho que é um passo atrás (faltam-me as 3 teclas, os ícones todos no ambiente de trabalho, ter que usar uma aplicação dedicada para poder sacar os videos e as fotos, etc...).
Não me consigo adaptar a isto... E para estar com dinheiro empatado em algo que não gosto... Prefiro vender.
O Sonas mostrou interesse no smartphone e visto que está novo, leva ali uma boa oportunidade...
No meu caso, quero voltar ao android e á flexibilidade que ele permite...
De bom o Iphone a meu ver tem:
- Status
- Boa qualidade de construção
- Super optimizado... Tudo corre muito bem nele
- Grande suporte de apps
- Estável
Mas é uma realidade diferente... Num iphone dá para dar 800€ por um telefone que sabemos que a desvalorização de mercado é mínima mesmo ao fim de 2 anos (quanto mais ao fim de 2 meses que é o caso).
Num Android, não irei dar mais de 250€, já que para o ano, volto a comprar o modelo superior daquele segmento também a 250€, e por ai fora...

Boas LPC,
O OnePlus One continua a ser um excelente smartphone hoje em dia, tem uma performance excelente, a comunidade por trás é enorme.
Quanto à câmera, é assim, se quiseres um telemóvel para simplesmente abrires a app da câmera e tirares uma foto num momento então deixa-te ficar com o IPhone, nisso eles são os melhores.
Se estiveres disposto a mexer nalgumas definições e utilizar as apps certas consegues resultados muito bons com o OPO (ainda mais se tirares fotos em formato RAW e editares no PC).

E que tal um Xiaomi Mi4 ou a sua versão "cut", mais barata, Mi 4i?
www.majordroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/No-1-Mi4-vs-Xiaomi-Mi4-11.jpg
Olha, na minha opinião, a melhor coisa que está ai para preço-specs, é um Doogee DG 900 Turbo 2 - 229eur, na Assimática há uns 4 meses atrás.
O meu primo tem um e aquilo é simplesmente fabuloso. Eu tenho um Arc S, já tive com um iphone 5s durante uns dias, um BQ Aquarius 4.7 ou que raio era aquilo, um Huawei P7, um Blackberry nao-sei das quantas e não houve nenhum que o batesse.
Mantive o Arc S porque foi o único que aguentou com tudo que lhe fiz (OC, centenas de horas de jogo, emuladores, root, muito video, fotos e musica, centenas de horas de net...). Ah, preciso de mudar-lhe o ecrã. Entretanto dediquei-e a inventar na PSP, o que o poupou mais uns tempos, e logo a seguir...PC´s, e é o que se vê :)
O meu dream mobile, até à uns tempos em design era o One Plus One e em specs o OPPO Find 7.

Estive a ver e analisar...
E para mim, vou apostar no Ascend G7 apesar de tudo...
Está praticamente 50€ a menos que o oneplusone, e apesar de não ser um ecran FHD, o que é é bastante bom...
O Sensor optico da camara é o mesmo que no OnePlusOne... E pessoalmente gosto mais dos materiais usados, como alumínio na carcaça...

Falando de preço com IVA, o One Plus One valia e muito os 40€ a mais que o G7. Levavas um processador com o dobro da performance, um ecrã de maior resolução e contraste (sendo que os níveis de brilho e a capacidade de reproduzir cores é semelhante) e ainda mais 5 a 7 horas de autonomia em navegação web (wifi).
Noutro tópico perguntaste-me sobre as câmaras dos telemóveis e se a do G3 era a melhor. A resposta é que dos modelos que falei, possivelmente o G3 é o que tem a câmara mais rápida a focar e com melhor estabilizador de imagem, tendo uma boa definição. No entanto, acho que as cores fogem para o amarelo e a Sony Z1 compact é superior nesse aspecto, se bem que as fotos parecem menos nítidas. Combinado estes dois parâmetros gostei mais das fotos do "teu" G2, do que do G3. O OnePlus One parece-me estar ao nível da câmara do G3, com uma palete de cores algo semelhante, mas parece-me captar melhor diferenças de luz.
Aqui podes fazer uma comparação entre as câmaras do G2, G3, OnePlus e Xperia Z1 Compact.

Boas Sardo...
Aqui a situação obrigava-me a comprar na PCComponentes, visto que eu tinha um crédito lá de um Dogee que tinha comprado á minha mãe e que se avariou...
Comprei-lhe um Huawei na altura com comprei este novo Tablet e a PCComponentes devolveu-me o dinheiro em crédito na loja...
Visto que é lá fora compro sempre sem iva... Pelo que dentro do valor que ele estava 173€ sem o iva, não comprava nada daquela gama...
Como dizes e bem a única coisa que eu acho que o G7 tem a menos é o ecan... é 720p quando podia ser 1080p. Espero que a definição não seja muito afectada pela dimensão + resolução do ecran.
Mas se vir que na verdade não é o que eu queria devolvo.
O que me disseste no outro tópico é verdade em termos de performances comparativas com outros modelos, mas na verdade eu uso pouco o smartphone, é mais para ir á net, ver o facebook, mensagens e alguns jogos rápidos para passar o tempo (fruit ninja, angry birds, traffic racer, etc...).
O que eu dou mais valor é a autonomia, o look e a camera.
E neste caso a camera deste smartphone é a mesma que a do oneplusone.
Penso que o facto de ser 720p e não 1080p, ajuda a equilibrar na performance, já que se fosse 1080p, garantidamente que o SOC era insuficiente para processar as coisas sem lag...
Assim sendo parece-me que é muito equilibrado o telemovel...
Pelo preço que me custou... acho que foi um grande negócio...

The Huawei P8 Lite Review
(http://www.anandtech.com/show/9435/the-huawei-p8-lite-review)
http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9435/DSC00869_678x452.JPG
Although many consumers are not familiar with Huawei, they are a company that I have seen selling smartphones for quite some time now. In the earliest days of the smaller Canadian carriers Huawei was one of the few companies that had smartphones available on their networks due to their use of the AWS band for HSPA which was uncommon in other devices here at the time. While Huawei has always had one or two flagship devices and makes some phablets, to me their core market was always mid range devices. Often these mid range devices are a downsized version of their flagship devices, and the smartphone being reviewed today is no exception. It's the Huawei P8 Lite, and it's the little brother of the Huawei P8.
The P8 Lite is Huawei's device to compete in the mid $200 market. At $249, it's more expensive than a device like the Zenfone 2, but not as expensive as something like the OnePlus One. There are actually two versions of the P8 Lite depending on your market. The first uses HiSilicon's Kirin 620 SoC which has eight Cortex A53 cores at 1.2GHz, while the second uses Qualcomm's Snapdragon 615 SoC. The version being examined during this review is the Qualcomm edition, and you can check out the rest of its specifications in the chart below.

</tbody>
On paper, the P8 Lite sits right in the mid range segment of the market. Inside it has Qualcomm's Snapdragon 615 SoC, with two clusters of four Cortex A53 cores and their Adreno 405 GPU. Other internal specs include 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, an 8.36Wh battery, and 802.11n WiFi. On the outside is the 5" 1280x720 IPS display, and a pair of rear and front cameras with 13MP and 5MP resolutions respectively.
On the software side we see that the P8 Lite is only shipping with Android KitKat skinned with Huawei's Emotion UI. Andrei has already taken a look at the iterations of this interface of a number of occasions, and there's not much I can add to his evaluation of Emotion UI 3.0 from his review of the Ascend Mate 7 so I'll simply link that here for interested readers (http://www.anandtech.com/show/8655/the-huawei-ascend-mate-7-review/2). The underlying version of Android being KitKat is definitely disappointing when the P8 Lite is being sold in July of 2015 with Android M on the horizon, and it means that the Snapdragon 615 SoC has to run in AArch32 mode. The P8 Lite and all its hardware and software comes together in a 7.7mm thick package that costs $249.
http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9435/DSC00885_575px.JPG (http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9435/DSC00885.JPG) The design of the P8 Lite definitely takes some cues from the larger high end Huawei P8. The front of the phone is remarkably similar, with the same outer white bezel surrounding a black bezel around the display. On the top bezel we have the earpiece, front-facing camera, and the proximity sensor. On the bottom is nothing but Huawei's name, as the P8 Lite uses onscreen navigation buttons. As far as differences from the P8 go, the black bezel around the display is thicker on the left and right sides, and the camera and earpiece have more spacing between them and the earpiece.
While the Huawei P8 has an aluminum chassis, the P8 Lite is very clearly made of plastic. The sides and rear of the phone are significant different from the P8. To add a bit of flare to the plastic chassis Huawei has added a plastic band that attempts to mimic the appearance of metal. From the side it kind of reminds me of an ice cream sandwich due to the two outer layers of the same color and a different inner layer. Huawei has also put their power button, SIM slot, and microSD slots on the right side in the same fashion as the P8. While some people might like the metal appearance of the outer band, I'm not really a big fan. When making a plastic device you either need to own it and use it to your advantage like Nokia/Microsoft does with their Lumia devices, or you need to make it look very convincing like the back cover of the Zenfone 2. In the P8 Lite's case it still looks very much like plastic, and reminds me of the fake chrome on the bezel of my Galaxy S i9000.
http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9435/DSC00865_575px.JPG (http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9435/DSC00865.JPG)
The back of the P8 Lite has two segments. At the top is a glossy thin strip which holds the rear-facing camera and LED flash on the left side. Everything below is a more textured plastic, with horizontal lines running across it. As far as construction goes, there's not really any flex or give to the back cover, and the texture created by the lines makes it feel different in the hand than a device like the Moto E or Moto G.
My opinion of the P8 Lite's design and build quality is somewhat divided. It has a good feel in your hand, and there's no flex or anything that would suggest weakness. On the other hand, I really don't like the faux-metal band around the edge of the phone. Trying to mimic brushed aluminum with plastic is always going to backfire, and I think Huawei would have been better off just making the sides white like the rest of the chassis.
