We all have our personal preferences when it comes to display size and to accommodate a wider spectrum of consumers, Huawei has also launched 6.8 Inch P8Max and the 5 Inch P8Lite, which has the name suggest, trims down other hardware too.

Huawei P8Max

Huawei P8Max has a Phablet-esque Tablet-esque display size of 6.8 Inches, which doesn’t sound very portable or smartphone like but still has its place among consumers who love to consume media content on large displays. Bezels are very narrow and there is Gorilla Glass 3 layer on top for added protection.
