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.

Huawei did not reveal its big flagship device for 2015 at MWC. The company decided to go with a special event to be held in April for the launch of the much anticipated Huawei P8 flagship smartphone. Now, it looks like the first images of the device have been leaked revealing a super slim body.

The source reveals that the phone will be just 6mm thin, which will be thinner than the iPhone 6, Galaxy S6 and most other smartphones in the market. Another important thing revealed by the picture is the lack of dual cameras that were incorporated in the Huawei Honor 6. Some rumors claimed that the same setup may end up on the P8 but this pictures reveals otherwise. Instead, a 13MP camera with dual LED flash will adorn the back of the device.

The new P9 will feature dual mirror glass and zirconia ceramic frame unibody design which will make it look sturdy yet beautiful. It is also being said that the phone will have a max version, with a massive 6.8-inch display up front.

As for the regular P8, expect high end specs on the device. The phone is said to come with the powerful Snapdragon 810 processor with 3GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. There will be a 5.2-inch display with full HD 1080p resolution. The rear camera will of 13MP with dual LED flash and the front cam will be of 8MP. The phone will come with Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box and will be priced around 3000 Yuan which comes to $478.

Expect more information in the coming days.

Huawei’s upcoming Huawei P8 flagship was recently leaked with most of its specs on weibo. The source said that the company would incorporate the latest Kirin 930 processor based on a  16nm process, which will be the first such SoC in the market.

Just a day after this leak, we have spotted a new Huawei device on Geekbench browser benchmark which reveals quite capable hardware. The device has a model number ML100-UL00 and could be the Huawei P8.

The benchmark reveals an octa-core 1.5Ghz processor based on the 64-bit architecture. The phone comes with 3GB of RAM onboard and runs on the latest Android 5.0.2 Lollipop operating system.

We still don’t know whether this is the new Kirin 930 processor. The benchmark scores of this new device is much higher than the existing Kirin 620, so it can’t be from this range. On the other hand, the performance is quite close to Kirin 925 that’s currently powering the Huawei Ascend Mate 7. The single core score of the 925 (899 points) is slightly better than the SoC used in this device (875), however the multi-core score on this device (3541 points) is much better than Mate 7.

Huawei P8 is said to come with a dual glass body (front+back) with a zirconia ceramic unibody design. It will be around 6mm thin and will feature a 2600 mAh battery.

We still don’t know whether this is the new Kirin 930 based on the 16mm process, but we expect more details soon as rumors say Huawei will announce the flagship on 15 April in London this year.

The Weibo account @Ubuntu团队 used to leak the latest information of Meizu, and they just posted a image to show Huawei P8’s specs,price and launch date.

It says Huawei P8 will have zirconium oxide porcelain uni-body design with double sided glass probably with gorilla glass 3 protection. Moreover, it will be quite thin too, much thinner than the iPhone 6 models at just 6mm. The company will incorporate the same dual camera setup that’s currently found on the Huawei Honor 6 Plus along with an additional biometric fingerprint sensor.

However, even this amazing design is not going to be highlight of the Huawei P8 flagship as the leak says that the company will put in a powerful Kirin 930 processor which will use the 16nm process. If this does turns out to be true, Kirin 930 will become the first SoC in the market to use this process. The latest Snapdragon 810 or even Apple’s A8 processors all use the 20nm process.

The battery is said to be 2600 which frankly will be quite small considering today’s high end standards. The same source reveals that the device will be unveiled at a special event in London on 15 April this year for a price tag of 2999 Yuan which comes to around $480. This would be a great price if the upcoming Huawei P8 flagship does feature the above specs.

We are sure, there will more such leaks in the coming few weeks, so stay tuned to the website for latest updates.
