The Honor 8 is a fantastic smartphone, but the price has gone up from the Honor 7. In return for the additional expense you get a fantastic dual-camera, a sleek and stylish design, a faster fingerprint sensor and a beautiful display, which combined make t...

The biggest difference between the two phones, however, is the price. Where the Huawei P9 sells for £449 from Huawei's Vmall.eu website, the Honor 8 is a much more reasonable £370. That's quite a step up in price over the Honor 7, which sold for £250 at l...

Beaten on price by OnePlus, EMUI has crept into every nook and cranny
Look at the spec sheet and it's tough to see where Honor could have shaved any more off the price. The £369 Honor 8 should be stinkingly good value, even if the twin cameras are more of a novelty than must-have extra. The problem was always going to be t...

As mid-level phones go the Honor 8 lays down some solid specification benchmarks for its £370 price. In reality, however, some of them don't quite live up to the paperwork: the battery life ought to be a little longer lasting, while the odd "hang" h...
Good, solid build, Dual cameras take quality snaps, Affordable price
No 'must, have' feature, Knuckle gestures are really odd, Nondescript design
The Honor 8 does a lot of things right, and comes at a price that will make higher-end phones green with envy. It could have been a flagship killer if it had just one standout feature...

Abstract: Not that long ago, with a budget under 300 dollars you could only afford a borderline-decent smartphone, with a low performance, a weak camera and overall, there was a mile between it and the more expensive, high-end flagship phones. But, a couple of year...
