Huawei launches P8 in Oman
MUSCAT: Huawei unveiled its new flagship smartphone P8 to the Omani market during a launch held recently at the Oman Avenues Mall. This is the latest offering from the telecom giant, boasting aesthetics, cutting-edge technology and a highly optimised camera that is expected to catapult the brand into the highest echelons of smart communication devices.
At an unbelievable 6.4mm thickness, which makes it quite possibly the thinnest smart phone yet, the P8 is a powerhouse of superior performance and avantgarde communications technology. It feels almost weightless in its metallic aluminium uni-body and slim exterior that is constructed using nano-molding technology. This creates a smooth, seamless, solid and durable integrated shell, says a press release.
The P8 boasts a host of new and evolutionary features such as the double knuckle-tap to capture a screen shot, thus creating an ingenious step-up from ordinary touch screen technology. Another unique feature that had social media buzzing is the option to simply call out if you wanted to find a misplaced phone; the device will then respond through its speaker.
Perhaps the most outstanding and striking feature is the P8’s high-performing 13-megapixel camera and, possibly for the first time since the advent of smartphones, an eight-MP front camera for the perfect selfie.
The main camera has been highly optimised for high contrast and low light conditions creating the most vibrant images even in dimly lit settings.
Huawei has installed what it refers to as the ‘best-in-class’ optical image stabilisation technol- ogy and a dual-colour temperature flash that simulates natural light so you get the best pictures anytime, anywhere.
That’s not all the P8’s 8-MP front camera has a built in 10-level beauty enhancement which automatically reduces any blemishes, imperfections and skin tones to give beautiful, perfect photos with every single shot.
The P8 boasts some of the best connectivity features such as the ability to connect with up to three different devices to shoot and record video simultaneously.
