Ascend P7 is just few months old and doing well on sales. Huawei seems to be having a blast with all the budget smartphone releases lately and strong sales figures but that isn’t going to stop the company from planning for the future. Just few hours ago Chinese smartphone news sites published a photo that you can see above, saying that its the upcoming Huawei Ascend P8.
If it holds true Ascend P8 looks really elegant and simple just like the previous Ascend P6 and P7 smartphones. Even though Huawei’s other phones like Honor 6 and Mate 7 surpasses the Ascend P7 flagship in specifications, Ascend P7 is the Huawei’s proclaimed flagship worldwide smartphone and Ascend P series might continue to be that for a while.
With the leaked photo the sources has mentioned that Ascend P8 will feature Huawei owned Hisilicon’s upcoming Kirin 930 8 core processor built on 16nm FINFET process. HiSilicon has came a long way and ultra powerful Kirin 925 on Ascend Mate 7 is the prime example for that. Kirin 930 is believed to be using ARM’s Big.LITTLE architecture with 4 Cortex-A15 cores for heavy loads and 4 Cortex-A7 cores to process light tasks. Unlike the first generations of Big.LITTLE cores, these new processors have the ability to process workloads on all 8 cores at once thanks to the ARM’s HMP (Heterogeneous multi-processing) technology.
The screen on upcoming Ascend P8 is also believed to be 5.2 inches in size with a resolution of 1080P which seems odd by today’s 2K standards. Also the sources has mentioned that the screen is curved on sides just like on the Iphone 6. If these leaks are true Ascend P8 will also feature an metal body with porcelain texture back cover and will cost 2999 yuans which is about $490.
Release date is unknown but its believed that Ascend P8 will appear on the next years CES tech show which is scheduled to be start on January 6th next year in Las Vegas USA.

Not a chance I’m buying from huawei again! Haven’t had my P7 for more than 2 months and its bent! Also the fact that the P6 gets emui 3.0 before their flagship P7 is complete bull****.
Sorry to hear that. Do you mind sharing some pics of your bent P7 with us? Please email to info[at]huaweinews.com
Stop lying, My Ascend P6 never gets bent even if I try to bent it.
It’s in possible to bend the p7 because its glass both front and back
you promise us to get emui 3.0 p6 in mid-november

why doesn’t come?
when we can update p6 to emui 3.0 international?
Hi Mohamad,
Huaweinews is an unofficial site so we cant exactly tell an exact time frame but the international update will take few months. Chinese region update is going to be available anytime soon.
thank’s for response
what about android L?
Does android L to ascend p6 be released ?
I doubt that, it took really long to bring kitkat, and emui 3.0 is also quite a big thing. But one day maybe…
The update schedule is for Chinese users, and emui3.0 is out already for Chinese P7 users. No schedule chart exist for any Huawei phone of international version. You have to contact your local Huawei branch and ask and push for update.
I will wait for the international version of outlay for lovely Honor 3c
