Stunning Design
The Mate 8 takes the look and feel of the Mate series to a whole new level. Boasting a vivid 6" FHD display, an ultra slim design, a re-designed fingerprint sensor that's faster and more reliable, and a sleek aluminum unibody design, the Mate 8 is sure to impress.
Feels as Good as It Looks
To give the Mate 8 its smooth finish, the display is covered with 2.5D diamond cut glass, sculpted with ultra-fast glass cutting technology for a seamless finish. This unique production process also means that the latest addition to the Mate series is slimmer than ever, with a larger screen-to-body ratio than any other smartphone in its category.
Knows You Like No Other
The fingerprint sensor on the back of the Mate 8 has been re-designed for enhanced performance. The circular sensor matches the shape of your finger, and the depth of the concave area has been decreased to 0.45 mm to enable your finger to get closer to the chipset for improved recognition accuracy and speed. In addition, the metallic ring has been removed for a minimalist design.
Larger Screen-to-body Ratio
Mate 8 uses a 6-inch FHD screen with 95% color saturation. Even with a larger screen, the smart design of Mate 8 is more compact than previous models with a 85% screen-to-body ratio.
