In a review, GSMArena praised the P8's all-metal design and vibrant 5.2-inch Full HD display, calling it sharp and bright. The camera was also well-received for its detail and color accuracy, though its GPU performance lagged behind competitors. GSMArena also stated that the battery life is "hardly a champion", but called it "adequate by today's standards".[
Android Authority praised the Huawei P8 for its premium design and vibrant 5.2-inch Full HD display. The 13MP camera with optical image stabilization delivered solid photos, especially in good lighting. Performance was strong for everyday tasks but lagged behind in gaming due to its GPU. Overall, it was seen as a well-balanced mid-range device offering good value.
PhoneArena appreciated the P8's sharp display and good overall performance but noted its struggles with graphically intensive tasks. The 13MP camera performed well in most conditions, though it had limitations in low light. Battery life was decent, but not impressive.
TechRadar highlighted the P8's premium build and vibrant display. While it handled everyday tasks well, the review found its performance lacking in gaming and heavy apps. The camera was good but missed advanced manual controls, and battery life was only average.
Engadget highlighted the P8's 13-megapixel main camera, noting its "best-in-class" features. They emphasized the device's imaging prowess as a key selling point.
