Huawei P8 lite Review: Unlocked And Affordable

To get a feel for how graphics performance on the P8 lite compares to other devices, we used GFXBench, which has been one of our standard graphics performance benchmarks for a while. In order to ensure Vsynch and resolution isn’t a limiting factor, we will compare offscreen test results. We also used Futuremark's 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited benchmark.

As we’ve seen with previous benchmark tests thus far, the P8 lite isn’t a chart-topper. In the T Rex Offscreen and the Fill Offscreen tests, the P8 lite reported scores that put it at the bottom of both charts.

Using the Unlimited version of 3DMark Ice Storm, the P8 lite earned third place in the Physics test. In all other comparison tests however, the P8 lite found itself lagging behind competitors and reported scores that were at, or very close to, the bottom.
