The picture shows the main interface.

The Huawei P8 comes with EMUI 3.1 pre installed. The model we have is a single SIM tray model GRA-L09. Instead of a SIM2 tray, it can use a microSD to expand the storage for pictures, videos, audio.

As it is powered by Android 5.0, a lot of vulnerabilities present on Android 4.4.x or earlier are patched. We run the trustable by bluebox security and it scored a high of 9.5.

We ran AnTuTu benchmark 5.7.1 64 bits edition on the phone and get a benchmark score of 46813. This score according to AnTuTu is higher than the rest including the earlier generation Huawei Mate 7.
