Going by the leaked image of the device's metal chassis, it looks like the Ascend P8 isn't too far away from its launch. Although the purported image barely gives any details on the smartphone itself, it's an obvious indication of the imminent arrival of the Ascend P8 in the coming days to come.

If alleged rumors are to be believed, Huawei's upcoming monster flagship device will pack a 5.2-inch 1920 x 1080-pixels resolution display, an octa-core Kirin 930 processor, 3 GB of RAM, 32 GB of native storage, and a fingerprint sensor. Other notable specifications are unknown as the moment.

Given the level of competition, Huawei will certainly face the heat from arch rivals like Samsung, Apple, Xiaomi and Oppo, among others. However, it will be interesting to note how consumers will reach to the Ascend P8 when it officially hits the market in the first half of 2015.
