Both phones come in 16 GB or 64 GB models, with no separate micro-SD slot. The two phones share most of their other features, like 3 GB RAM, and the 4160 x 3120 pixels, 13 megapixel Sony primary camera, with auto focus, OIS, and LED flash. Both phones have gorilla glass protection for the screens.
The P8 has a 5.2 inch JDI IPS LCD screen with 1080 x 1920 pixel resolution. It comes with a formidable 8 MP secondary camera. The dimensions of the P8 are 144.9 x 72.1 x 6.4 mm (5.70 x 2.84 x 0.25 in). It runs on a non-removable 2680 mAh battery and weighs 144 g.

The looks of the P8 are very similar to the iPhone 6, except for a few port locations. The FHD screens seem good and sharp, although arguably not as good as Quad HD displays. Although the P8 and P8 Max come without a separate SD card slot, the second SIM card slot can be used as a micro SD card slot.
This makes the 64 GB model slightly redundant. The previously unheard of company Huawei is now the fourth- largest seller of smartphones in the world. The P8 and P8 Max are available in the market at EUR 500(33k approx.) and EUR 550(36k approx.) respectively.
