Huawei launches the P8; A revolutionary light painting Smartphone

Huawei Consumer Business Group has unveiled the Huawei P8 smartphone, a perfect blend of technology, sleek styling, usability and revolutionary low light camera features.

The Huawei P8 which was launched on Wednesday at the legendary Old Billingsgate, London’s renowned arts and fashion venue, is the culmination of the P series’ rich heritage of style and functionality, and is once again redefining the smartphone market with easy-to-use features that amaze and inspire consumers.

“The new smart phone model takes beauty to the next level, striking a flawless balance of artistry and creativity,” said Mr Kyobe Allan Kaggwa the public relations officer, Huawei Technologies Co (U) Ltd.

Based on a deep understanding of human-machine design, the phone delivers a new level of usability for applications impacting everyday life – at work and at play, he said.
With craftsmanship that pushes the bounds of possibility and new revolutionary light painting modes, the Huawei P8 provides consumers with an inspiration for creativity.

According to Mr Kyobe, the Huawei P8 is designed to have a natural connection to human nature, providing solutions to common pain points and meeting consumers’ needs – both simple and complex.

“The Huawei P8 has a revolutionary touch screen experience that is innate to consumers. Double-tapping a knuckle captures a full-length screen shot, while drawing a circle on the screen quickly captures content. Additionally, the ‘search phone by voice’ function allows users to call out to their misplaced smartphone, which will respond through its speaker to identify,” observed Mr Kyobe.

Unveiling the P series
Introduced in 2012, the Huawei P series has redefined style. The P1 marked the debut of Huawei’s journey, taking the stage with a new ethos based on beauty.
The P2 built on the momentum of the P1, breaking new boundaries of processing speed; the P6 brought out a new and elegant sleekness; and the ultimate craftsmanship of the P7 stunned the market.

The Huawei P8 design is deeply rooted in literary tradition, combining elements of ancient manuscripts, illuminated books and the essence of sunlight in stained glass library windows. It is inspired by the best of human design from different cultures across the centuries and embodies the human spirit of exploration and beauty.

The design details of the Huawei P8 evoke the pages, bindings and hardcovers of traditional books. The one-piece aluminum body with the diamond shape blasting craftsmanship highlights the texture of the metal. The phone comes with four elegant color options: silver, gold, black and grey. The devices come in a translucent package and the unboxing experience is like taking a book from the shelf.
