Huawei Mate 8 vs Galaxy Note 5: Which one is the true beast here?

Everyone knows Huawei Mate 8 is the newer flagship which comes with a metal body and a 6-inch IPS-NEO LCD screen, absolutely bigger than the Galaxy Note 5’s 5.7 Super AMOLED screen. However, the Mate 8 only features Full HD display resolution with 368 ppi, not as advanced as the 2K one of the Note 5 with 518 ppi. Moreover, there is an S Pen stylus coming along with the Samsung phone, helping you write things just like on a real notebook.

As for the processor, we have to say Huawei Mate 8’s super fast thanks to its new HiSilicon Kirin 950 octa-core processor consisting of 4 cores clocked at 2.3GHz and another set of 4 cores clocked at 1.8GHz. Besides, Huawei Mate 8 specs include 3/4GB RAM plus 32/64/128GB ROM expandable up to 128GB. Meanwhile, the Note 5 is also powered by a very powerful Exynos 7420 octa-core 2.1GHz chip and 4GB RAM. Nonetheless, the 5 cannot give you extra space for its 32/64GB ROM. Would you mind that?

Last but not least, the Mate 8’s front camera has a higher resolution of 8 megapixels, making it the winner at this point since the Note 5’s one is only capable of 5 megapixels. On the other hand, Huawei would be proud of their machine’s 4,000mAh battery and convincing you it will last a lot longer than the 5’s 3,000mAh batt.

Huawei Mate 8 vs Galaxy Note 5: Price battle and the winner is…

Huawei Mate 8 price ranges from $470 to $690 for 3 variants while you have to pay at least $555 for a Note 5 32GB and of course Samsung Galaxy Note 5 price will be higher for the 64GB ver. So, in general, both of them are strong and beautiful, but in the end, it is likely that Huawei Mate 8 can beat the Note 5. Do you agree?
