About Huawei P8

Huawei P8's all-metal body wraps around the edges of the phone to meet the screen. This one-piece unibody design makes the P8 feel quite solid and secure to hold. With a 5.2-inch display, the phone is quite large, but a narrow bezel around the screen keeps the body from ballooning out too much.
