What’s new in Huawei Ascend P8 ?

A device that gains international rank and international thirst for it, does something have in it that becomes its fame and generosity.

Processor:

There are very few smartphone OEMs that are making their own mobile processors. Huawei is one of them making their own processors in the name of HiSilicon Kirin. Huawei Ascend P8 is fitted with the most extremely extended processor with the name of HiSilicon Kirin 930 64-bit Octa-core processor(proudly speaking to be the best processor). The early Octa-core processors had rumors that they gets high heat with heavy tasks. Huawei’s HiSilicon Kirin 930 64-bit Octa-core processor has been introduced with the latest technology that is not going to be above its threshold. You may just feel the device’s warmth with your hands with heavy tasks.

Memory:

The latest smartphone brands have been launched with 3-GB RAM up till now that is the most huge primary memory ever used (although one recently launched in China with 4GB RAM). Huawei Ascend P8 has 3 GB RAM with DDR-3 technology that is the latest technology for smartphones. In certain situations, there is another option(swapping) for up to 512 MB RAM that can be borrowed from the secondary memory for need base situations. Huawei Ascend P8 comes in both 16 GB and 64 GB internal memory(Toshiba manufacturer) that is huge enough to store user data weather personal or media or mails or others. There is also another option for expanding the internal memory up to 128-GB with a micro-SD Card that uses the SIM-2 slot(with compromise).

A data cable used for both charging Your Huawei Ascend P8 and for data exchange.

Battery:

Being a Huawei user myself, I have experienced the long lasting battery for Huawei. There are two reasons for this.
