Huawei's isn't content to unveil just its flagship P8 smartphone -- there's an even bigger, beastlier handset in store. The company has revealed the P8max, a 6.8-inch device that literally expands on the slim, next-to-no-bezel design of its smaller sibling. Besides that cavernous (but sadly 1080p) screen, the biggest advantage is a whopping 4,360mAh battery that promises about 2.2 days of typical battery life, or about 15 hours of non-stop web surfing or video playback. You'll also get a custom interface that offers multiple "panels" for multitasking (appropriate at these dimensions), and this is billed as one of the thinnest large smartphones at a scant 6.8mm thick.
The P8max is otherwise much like its average-sized counterpart. You're 'only' getting a 5-megapixel camera on the front instead of 8, but you'll still get a 13-megapixel stabilized rear camera with a "professional-grade" imaging processor, a two-tone flash and modes for both long-exposure shots and multi-phone photography. Otherwise, you should expect the same 2GHz octa-core Kirin 930 processor and 3GB of RAM as in the higher-spec P8. As you'd gather, Huawei will charge extra for its gargantuan phone. It'll cost you €549 ($583) for a base 32GB model when it ships in the near future, and €649 ($688) for a 64GB model. There's specific word on UK or US releases, but the P8max should reach 30 countries.
