Huawei Mate 8 review: the new choice for the power warrior

When we first laid eyes on the Huawei Mate 8 at CES 2016, we were only mildly impressed. While its clean industrial design and oversized battery were welcome additions to the Mate family, the phone still came with software quite literally designed for another continent – and its overloaded feature set seemed more at home on a Samsung phone from 2012 than a modern Android flagship.A week with the Mate 8 back home in Boston hasn’t changed our feelings about the phone’s shortcomings, but it ...
