Battery life could be better given the capacity
Some graphical hangs

Battery life falls short and knuckle gestures are gimmicky. It's a smudge magnet

The Honor 8 is a fine phone, it's just not really a satisfying one. On one hand, its internals offer premium-level performance that's hard to come by in a $400 smartphone. On the other hand, its software is cumbersome, the camera is a disappointment, and...
Great design, Fingerprint reader works well, IR blaster
Too expensive, One speaker, One SIM available when using microSD card
The Honor 8 is a solid performer without hitting the high notes of some of its rivals like the OnePlus 3. Its price needs to be slashed in order for it to be competitive...
Abstract: Individuality is a tough ask in a world of smartphones where industrial design has doubled down on the rounded rectangle. And yet in being created “for the brave” Honor 8 manages a distinctiveness that should appeal to anyone looking for a smartphone tha...

good battery life, snappy, feels and looks nice, excellent fingerprint scanner, good camera, dual sim, headphone jack, microSD card slot
back is very slippery, software isn't as good as the hardware
The Honor 8 is an excellent smartphone that balances a premium look, feel and performance with a mid-range price, which should make you question why should you pay over the odds for a top-end phone. Battery life is good, the dual camera setup produces dec...
Fingerprint prone, no optical image stabilisation on camera
The premium budget market is strewn with the carcasses of good smartphones. There are so many stunning options out there including the Alcatel Idol 4S, OnePlus 3 and others. The undisputed king of this range is the OnePlus 3 and with a budget of <£400, it...

The Honor 8 is very special. With a label price of under £370 for the 32GB version, it's a genuine flagship killer. We wish that Huawei would leave the Android interface alone, but at the same time EMUI adds so much value in terms of little touches that i...
Outstanding metal-and-glass design, Impressive dual-sensor camera, Useful IR sensor, Good price point
Cumbersome software, Disappointing display
Huawei has achieved what amounts to a supply chain miracle: it's crammed nearly every high-end component of the P9, a phone that retails for well north of $600 unlocked, into a handset half the price: $400 for 32GB and $450 for 64GB. That's deserving of...
Attractive design, Quick fingerprint scanner, Good performance
Hampered by Emotion UI, So-so camera, Better value alternatives available
Honor 8 – Camera The dual-sensor camera returns – arguably, the Huawei P9's headline feature. Gone is the Leica branding of the lenses, however. Sony's 12-megapixel IMX286 sensors are used – one RGB, one monochrome – and they have 1.25um-sized pixels. As...
Abstract: Never heard of Honor? No, not the outdated concept they're forever banging on about in Game of Thrones, the Chinese smartphone maker that's coming after the likes of Apple and Samsung. No? Well it's time to take note. The new Honor 8 just dropped and it's...
