Performance
At the core of the Huawei G8 is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 chipset, featuring an octa-core CPU with a balanced mix of high-performance and efficiency cores. The 2GB or 3GB RAM options, coupled with respective 16GB or 32GB internal storage – expandable via a microSD slot – were adequate for the time. Running on Android 5.1 (Lollipop) and upgradable to 6.0 (Marshmallow), complemented by Huawei's EMUI 3.1, the phone delivered performance suitable for everyday tasks, though it could struggle with more demanding applications and multitasking scenarios.
