Editorial note

The Huawei Mate S stands out with its 5.5-inch AMOLED display, offering a Full HD resolution that ensures an immersive visual experience with vibrant colors. Its modern and sleek bar format design also contributes to practical use. Performance is ensured by the Kirin 935 processor at 2.2 GHz, which allows for smooth navigation and efficient multitasking, although the internal storage capacity of 32 GB may prove insufficient for users downloading many applications or multimedia files. Regarding photography, the 13 MP rear camera allows for capturing satisfactory quality images, but it may disappoint those seeking superior performance, especially in low-light conditions. The 2700 mAh battery offers decent autonomy for daily use, but may not suffice for heavy users. Additionally, the Android 5.1 operating system is starting to become outdated, raising questions about security updates. Finally, while the Huawei Mate S represents good value for money with its many features, it is important to note certain limitations such as the lack of FM radio and the relative weakness of battery life. These elements may influence the choice of users looking for a smartphone that meets all their needs.
