Some graphical hangs

The Honor 8 occupies an interesting space. Cheap Chinese knockoffs of the iPhone have been on the market for years, but Huawei seems to be evolving into its own now. Though the Honor 8 clearly takes a lot of inspiration from the iPhone, it's not a direct...
These days, competition is rife within the affordable flagship market. This segment, which used to be home to only a few companies, is now one of the most populated. Any device that wants to succeed needs to have something warrant purchasing it over anoth...

Just like it did with the Honor 5X, Huawei has done a good job finding the right balance between features, performance, and price for the Honor 8. It's not perfect (I've yet to see a phone that is), but it shows a level of polish that other phones at this...
Abstract: The Honor 8 is another device we wouldn't typically review, but seeing as how options may seem limited given the circumstance surrounding the Galaxy Note 7, we wanted to spend time checking it out. Additionally, this tier of “mid-range” devices have becom...
Abstract: "The Honor 8 features a Huawei P9-style dual camera setup. Here's how it fares"A close crop of the image above reveals that the camera has captured a wealth of detail. You can see the dust at the centre of the orchid, and a few areas where the petals are...
Gorgeous design, Good cameras Daylong battery life Smart Key implementation is useful
No VoLTE support No dualSIM, Fast charger not included, Expensive
