WiFi Performance
Moving on to WiFi performance we address one of the most critical faults of the P8: Lack of 5GHz WiFi. There were already some raised eyebrows during the official announcement where we couldn't find any mention of 802.11ac in any of the spec sheets, and indeed, the device comes without support for the higher frequency bands.
This raises some big questions about Huawei's choice of RF back-end and what exactly is going on there. Connectivity itself is provided by a Broadcom BCM4334, which is quite an ancient chipset by today's standards, as we first saw its introduction in 2012. Broadcom advertises max PHY rates of up to 150Mbps and upper layer rates of up to 90Mbps - and 5GHz is definitely listed as one of its capabilities. This is the same chip used in the Honor 6 and Mate 7, which did have 5GHz capability. In the end only Huawei knows what kind of decision-making process warranted such a significant omission of an every-day important feature.
Possible fix i will try tonight:
