Honor 8 Final Report: Ask Me Anything

Compared to other skins, for example TouchWiz, or stock Android, the additional layer of processing that EMUI puts on the OS makes for a bit of a slowdown and higher battery usage.

Touchwiz is a pretty heavy skin. Emui might be heavier but tw isn't far behind

That's interesting to know. If it's heavy, does that mean that it is bad? I don't understand this. If the power modes are sufficient, I'm guessing that the heaviness should be a non-factor though?

Well it would depend on what is added. A heavy skin doesn't necessarily use more battery life. my 5x (heavy skin) got excellent battery life, better than my moto g4 (light skin). Both have 3000mah battery, and snapdragon 616/617 and 2gb ram, 5.5" 1080p screen.

The 5x is coded to favor battery life, Moto g4 to favor performance.

Ohh okay. Thank you, that helps me to understand this whole thing a little better.
