The Huawei Honor 8 is a likable midprice phone with some extra perks, but its short battery life holds it back...
Attractive design, Compact, Decent price, Excellent 2-day battery life, Fast and accurate fingerprint reader, Solid construction, Dual-SIM, Bright colorful display, Nice camera features
Lower resolution display compared to competitors, Slight camera shutter release lag, EMUI software from Huawei is limiting
Abstract: The Honor series is still quite new to the US market, but Huawei is pushing hard for the devices to take off. The Honor 8 is an off-contract device offering high-end hardware at an affordable price. And with the popularity of no-contract plans growing in...
very classy casing, very solid, dual-SIM, NFC, USB OTG, infrared port, fast Wi-Fi, decent camera photos, very fast fingerprint scanner, softkey, screen's large color range, high performance, decent speakers, practical battery life
no App2SD, mediocre network diversity, GPS sometimes sluggish, moderate microphone quality, screen's extreme bluish tint, strong throttling during load, relatively high power consumption
Huawei had to clip the wings of Honor's 8 to prevent it from becoming a threat to its own Huawei P9 top model. The unique, classy design, very fast and accurate handling, and high performance let the question arise why at least 100 Euros (~$112) more shou...

Battery just OK, Camera struggles in low light, Needs more carrier support
It's not necessary to spend $700+ for a good smartphone. The Huawei Honor 8 is a prime example of a mid-range smartphone with near flagship performance and build. It even has high-end features like an excellent fingerprint scanner and dual-lens camera...
Abstract: While popular smartphone manufacturers like LG and Apple have just recently adopted dual camera configurations, Huawei has largely led the way, beginning with the Huawei P9 . While the P9 never made its way to the United States, the Honor brand is now bri...
It used to be that the sub-$400 category of premium smartphones was a niche market. OnePlus was one of the first to follow the formula of offering a quality handset for hundreds of dollars below its competitors. Now, a couple years have passed, and the ma...

Premium design, Great screen, Competent cameras
Fingerprint magnet, Older processor
Whilst it isn't going to give rivals like Apple or Samsung real cause for concern, the Honor 8 offers a great all-round experience for a competitive price in the flagship space, with more individuality than perhaps Sony's latest X handsets.If it's not alr...
Overall, the Honor 8 is an agile, affordable phone with several specs and features borrowed from high-end phones. But since the operating system is just OK, its looks are debatable, network compatibility in the US is limited, and there aren't any handy pa...
