Connect smartphone reviews are written with the needs of photographers in mind. We focus on camera features, performance and image quality.
The Huawei Mate S was launched at IFA 2015 and with its 5.5-inch full HD screen it is, in terms of dimensions, a compromise between the 5.2-inch P8 and the 6-inch Mate 8. Specification-wise it is closer to the P8; its 13MP 4-Color RGBW image sensor is coupled with an F2.0 aperture and an optical image stabilization system. Like the P8, the Mate S uses an image processor that is independent from the main system chip. The front camera comes with an 8MP resolution and a front flash that produces a slightly diffused light. The Mate S's build quality firmly places it into the premium segment of the market. It comes with metal edges, a slightly curved back and a water-resistant body. There is a fingerprint sensor for added security and the octa-core chipset is combined with 3GB of RAM and either 32 or 64GB of storage. Huawei is also offering a premium version that comes with the same camera as the standard model but offers 128GB of internal memory and a force touch screen.
