Ever since Huawei confirmed that it was going to announce the Huawei P8 flagship on April 15, leaks have started to come in pretty fast. A new leak now shows off a poster / advert for the new Huawei P8, thereby kind of confirming its design.

The design shown in the picture looks a lot like the one we saw from TENAA a few days back. The Chinese certification website had confirmed earlier that the phone will be using a metallic body measuring just 6.5mm. This was slimmer than the iPhone 6 / 6 Plus. So, the P8 will definitely please those who are looking for a super slim device.

As for the tech specs, TENAA reveals that the Huawei P8 flagship will feature a 2.2GHz octa-core processor with 3GB of RAM and 16GB of expandable storage. The display up front will of 5.2-inches with full HD 1080p resolution. The rear camera will be of 13MP with color temperature flash and the one above the display will be of 5MP. The phone will naturally support a number of 4G LTE bands and will run on the new Android 5.0 Lollipop OS.

The advert reveals that the phone will come in four different colors including gold, silver and black. Pricing is not yet revealed but an earlier leak said that the phone could start at 2988 Yuan (which comes to around $486). There are two versions of the device expected to be unveiled tomorrow in UK, a standard Huawei P8 and the Huawei P8 platinum edition.

Since, the advert does not say anything about a fingerprint sensor, we may not see this feature on the upcoming flagship. However, the poster does confirm a metallic build, High definition sound and some great camera features on the device.

More details coming soon, so stay tuned!

From recent leaks, we know that Huawei will most likely unveil two new smartphones at its event on April 15th. One will be the regular version of the Huawei P8 while the other will be the platinum version, i.e. the high end edition of the device.

Now, just 10 days before the official unveiling of the flagship smartphone, pricing details have been leaked. The information comes from an alleged internal document of Suning.

The document says that Huawei will keep a conference in China for the unveiling of the P8 in the country on April 22. The next day, i.e. April 23, the company will make the device available for sale to customers.

The document also says that the high end version of the flagship will be priced at 3288 Yuan which comes to around $536. Naturally, the regular version of the device will retail for a much lower price tag, somewhere around 2988 Yuan ($486).

While the prices as mentioned by this document is higher than competitors like Xiaomi Mi4 and Meizu MX4, the phone is expected to come with tech specs which are better than existing models in the market.

The Huawei P8 is expected to feature a powerful yet battery friendly Kirin 935 chipset with 3GB of RAM and 16GB of expandable storage. There will be a 5.2-inch full HD 1080p display on the front. At the back there will be a 13MP camera and a 5MP shooter up front above the display. The battery is expected to be around 2520mAh and the phone is said to run on Android 5.0 Lollipop OS.

Of course, none of these details are official. The document leaked today could be a fake, just made to spread rumors, so its best to take this news with a pinch of salt.

But, if the pricing was indeed real, would you be ready to shell out 3299 Yuan for the high end version of the Huawei P8?

We have been eagerly waiting to see the Huawei P8 flagship for some time now. Recently, the company confirmed that the device will launch on April 15, which is now only a few days away. But before the launch, we have come across plenty of leaks to give us some idea about the upcoming device. Even today, we have three alleged pictures of the said Huawei P8.

These images show off the smooth metal frame around the body. In one picture, you can even see the camera sensor with dual LED (dual tone) flash. The power button seems to be different, placed a bit inside into the body. This could be because it is said that the Huawei P8 will incorporate a fingerprint sensor in the power button. While we are still not 100% convinced that this will be the case in the new flagship device, still it would be interesting to see such a placement. Overall, from what we can see, the device looks premium and well built.

Coming to the specs, the phone is rumored to come in two versions, one aluminum alloy version and the other made out of zirconia ceramic. However, both the versions are expected to feature a unibody design. As for the tech specs, the phone will reportedly run on Huawei’s Kirin 930 processor with 3GB RAM and 32GB of expandable storage. There will be a 5.2-inch display with full HD 1080p resolution. For camera, there will be a 13MP shooter at the back and a 5MP shooter up front. Finally, a 3000 mAh battery will power all these tech specs.

The Huawei P8 will be announced on April 15 at the company’s official event. The phone will be released around April 22 in the Chinese market for an estimated price tag of 2999 Yuan.

We expect more details real soon.

Although most manufacturers unveiled their big guns at MWC 2015, some companies like Huawei decided to keep a separate event for its flagship announcement. The company recently confirmed the Huawei P8 event by releasing a teaser on its Weibo page.

Now, the Huawei P8 has finally hit TENAA. This means that we have some real information about this upcoming flagship from Huawei.

According to TENAA, Huawei P8 will come in six different versions, out of which there will be three different carrier versions. The model numbers of all the models as listed on TENAA are as follows: HUAWEI ALE-TL00、HUAWEI GRA-UL00、HUAWEI GRA-UL10、HUAWEI GRA-CL10、HUAWEI GRA-TL00、HUAWEI GRA-CL00. The three carrier version will support dual 4G networks. Also, all the versions will come with MicroSD card slots, dual SIM card dual standby support and Android 5.0 Lollipop OS version.

As expected, the Huawei P8 will have thin side bezels. From the images on TENAA, it looks like the phone is made from a mixture of plastic and metal. You can clearly see the golden metal frame as well as the metal finish at the back. However, there are some areas like the strip around the camera as well as the front, which looks like its made from plastic and then protected by glass.

Interestingly, the power button, volume buttons, microSD slot as well as SIM card slots are all located on the right side of the device. As a result, the left side is completely clean. Up front, the bezels at the bottom of the display looks quite thick, probably for the capacitive buttons. Coming to the back, we can see the camera sensor as well as the dual LED (probably dual tone) flash on top as well as the Huawei branding at the center.

Earlier rumors said that the phone will be just 6mm thin. And from these images, it does look like the phone is going to be slim, although we are not sure if its as thin as said before. The phone will most likely run on the latest chipset from Huawei’s Hisilicon Kirin range, the 64-bit octa-core Kirin 930 with 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage. There will be a 5.2-inch display sporting a full HD 10802p resolution with Gorilla Glass protection.

A leaked image almost confirmed the 13MP camera at the back. Finally, the phone will run on Android 5.0 version and will retail around 2999 Yuan ($480).

Huawei will officially unveil the flagship on April 14, so we are just 15 days away from getting more details about this exciting new product from the company.

So are you excited about the new P8 flagship?
