Huawei Mate 8 and Lenovo Vibe X3 all new and hot items of their Smartphone brands at the moment. So, let’s see how they can compete with each other! This is like a great premium flagship smartphone battle to start 2016! Which one will be the winner, Lenovo or Huawei?
Huawei Mate 8 VS Lenovo Vibe X3: Huawei or Lenovo will win?
Firstly, we would like to take a look at their specs. In general they belong to high-end smartphone category due to boasting many strong, fantastic features. Talking about similarities, we recognize that each phone has 3GB RAM (though the Mate 8 also offers 4GB RAM option), an 8MP selfie camera, a microSD card slot to expand internal storage up to 128GB, a fingerprint scanner and fast charging tech. Well, those are some specifications they have in common. How about differences? Design-wise, it is easy to see Huawei Mate 8 is slimmer than Lenovo Vibe X3 and their appearances also cannot be mistaken.
Looking at the X3, we are immediately impressed by its dual-front-speaker set up and curved top and bottom edges. Meanwhile, all of the Mate 8’s edges are not curved at all. So, if you only base on the design, you can choose the one you think is more beautiful. If not, perhaps the spec and price comparison can help you decide.First of all, no doubt the Mate 8 with a 6.0-inch Full HD screen is bigger than its rival, whose display measures 5.5 inches with Full HD resolution. In terms of processor, the Huawei’s product is run by the “company-made” chip HiSilicon Kirin 950, which is more powerful than the Vibe X3’s Snapdragon 808 to be honest.
Furthermore, the Mate 8 is even equipped with Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS right out of the box, which definitely has more advantages than the X3’s Android 5.1 Lollipop. However, the Lenovo Vibe X3 also has its own weapons to beat the Huawei Mate 8. Though the X3 just owns a 3,600mAh battery, smaller than the 8’s 4,000mAh cell, the handset can be charged faster: “60% in 30 min” VS “37% in 30 min”. Moreover, it packs an awesome 21MP rear shooter, Dolby Atmos sound tech and Hi-Fi audio while Mate 8 sports a 16MP cam and no special technology to support its sound quality.
