Comparison review
The Huawei Mate 8 has an overall score of 77.4, which is a bit better than the Galaxy A6's 75.8 general score. Although it's the best we compare here, it must be noted that it is also a incredibly older, somewhat heavier and a little bit thicker cellphone. Huawei Mate 8 has a bit better processor than Galaxy A6, and although they both have the same number of cores, the Huawei Mate 8 also has a larger amount of RAM.
The Huawei Mate 8 has a bit better screen than Galaxy A6, because it has a little bit larger display, a bit greater pixel density and a better resolution of 1080 x 1920px. Huawei Mate 8 counts with a much greater storage capacity for games and applications than Galaxy A6, because although it has an external memory slot that allows 272 GB smaller, it also counts with 128 GB internal storage.
The Samsung Galaxy A6 has just a bit better camera than Huawei Mate 8, because although it has lower video frame rates, and they both have the same video quality and a back camera with a 16 mega-pixels resolution, the Samsung Galaxy A6 also counts with a bigger diafragm aperture to capture better low-light captures.
Huawei Mate 8 counts with greater battery life than Samsung Galaxy A6, because it has a 4000mAh battery capacity instead of 3000mAh.
Although Huawei Mate 8 is a better device, it is way more expensive than the Galaxy A6, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as Galaxy A6. If you want to save some money, you can get the Galaxy A6, letting go a couple features, but you will get the most with your budget.
