Because it presents a Smartphone and Announces properties which only receives a premium version in the next year. We clarify whether it is still worthwhile to get the normal variant of the Huawei mate S, in the test.

The mate of S is a curiosity. The display is a half-inch less than at the last year's mate 7, this overall smaller and lighter. Most saved but was on the battery capacity, the massive 1,400 mAh low than in the predecessor. Can this be offset by more efficient hardware and software?

Design and delivery

The Huawei Mate S is clear with €649 non-binding price recommendation a the premium Smartphone and would like to be perceived as such. The housing is made of aluminium, the display glass at the front is rounded and flows in the narrow bevelled edges. Nothing creaks, no wobbles and the 156 g weight provide a high-quality feel together with the metal. The Huawei lettering on the front of bother me easily, but that is a matter of taste. First, it is available in two colors, Titanium Grey with black and mystic champagne with white front.

On the back of the camera module, which unfortunately protrudes from the housing dominates. It is accompanied by a dual LED. Including the revised fingerprint sensor, which is a highlight of the Smartphones beforehand - sits.

The left side has a slot of SIM and memory card space. It's possible to use a second SIM card instead of a microSD card versions of the mate S, which unfortunately are not us to the test. Volume rocker switch and power button are well positioned on the right side, the base hosts speaker slots, microphones, and the micro-USB connector. Unfortunately, Huawei abandons a connection type C. Finally, you will find an another microphone, as well as the Jack at the top.

In the send box of the mate S still headphones are next to the device, charger with micro USB cable, quick start with SIM tool, as well as in our case even a Flipcase in gold. The color is admittedly not the ROAR, the processing fits but here and through the window, more is possible also call answering and much.

Hardware

The Huawei Mate powered bars S by a Hisilicon Kirin 935 from own production, whose eight kerne fours each with 2.2 and 1.5 GHz. These are accompanied by a Mali T628 MP4-GPU and 3 GB RAM. 32 GB are internally installed memory in the test model which are approximately 24 GB available for the user at the beginning. This can be extended, and 128 GB worked here without any noticeable problems.

The WiFi module spark to b/g/n standard, but annoyingly in the 2.4 GHz network. It is absolutely incomprehensible to me, how a company such as Huawei, whose area of activity is also a very small has little to do with networks, dispenses with equipped with 5 GHz support. It also NFC is in addition to Bluetooth 4.0 with on board, the FM radio is responsible for music enjoyment away from streaming or local files. The three microphones of the mate S should provide for particularly clear understandable voices.

For the photography, which we later more detail go, 8 mega pixel Selfiekamera beautifying function with optional dimmable LED and on the back are a a 13 megapixel camera with optical image stabilization and dual tone LED provided.

The display in an acceptable and just so not museums FullHD resolves with Gorilla glass protection and 2.5D-Optik. The 5.5 inch shine photos thanks to Super AMOLED with bold colors and high contrast - and above all the preinstalled wallpapers look fantastic. Who places value on may play well to the color temperature of the display.

Software

The Huawei Mate S has Android lollipop 5.1.1 on this stage which emotion UI is provided (EMUI) 3.1 with the in-house customization. You have to like it or not, either way you will have to install a different Launcher all the apps presented directly - there is not a classic Start menu, comparisons to iOS must be allowed on this point.

Should you change eh directly on an another Launcher, I recommend you to change the home screen layout on 5 × 5 symbols, to exploit the space. Would you as possible want to show, however, as large icons, there's a "simple" start screen style with tiled look.

Another story quite identical acquired from the competition is the down wiping gesture-activated system-wide search, which is similar to animation and translucency spotlight.

In the notifications, shortcuts, allowing also to individualize can be found in the right tab. By default you don't see many and the first nine will give no clear visual indication that even more are present by scrolling. Only when pulling down the bar, you can see just right a Scrollindikator. Notification, the system asks whether the app in the future may show notes or rather should be.

The pre-installed software often asks for an Internet connection, without access to Internet and phone ID, the file manager of the mate even completely denied the service to S. In addition, I think.

Topic preinstalled apps: in addition to useful stories such as Magnifier, memo recorder (with the support of the three built-in microphones) there and also a mirror, the in the In the-micro blow stud as well as a variety of games. Also there is the possibility of having different designs the emotion UI to your preferences to customize what changes wallpapers and app icons. Change you can also the representation of the Navileiste. If you move mate S for example, from a Samsung device on that, you can switch on the order of the heretics.

Wizards support the user in many everyday problems: memory management and power management offered to track offenders, that consume resources unnecessarily. The so-called phone manager again summarizes portions, setting out the amount of memory, flushes the cache and displays energy-intensive apps. In the networked apps menu, it can be managed whether mobile data or WiFi can be used.

With multi window two applications can be used on the 5.5 inch at the same time with each other, by either with two fingers at the same time across the screen is deleted or the multitasking button is pressed. Too bad: Only Huawei's own apps will help.

With knuckle sense Huawei in the mate S has optimized the ankle recognition, gesture controls work reliably. No matter what app you just served: a screenshot is made with ankle twice, tapping on the display. Drawing of various letters, apps can be launched, what worked for me only with the Standardlauncher.

Movement control if can be also for configuring wake-up of the display, a shortcut for the lock can be found under the preloaded apps – the power button is almost unused, so on a daily basis if you put it on it. Not least because of the great...
