Honor 8 Review

Score: 65.7 / 100

Honor 8 is an amazing cellphone launched back in 2016, which features a good size 5.2 inches display, a Octa-Core processor running at 2300 MHz, and 2 cameras, a 12 mega-pixels back camera and an 8 MP front-facing camera.

This cellphone comes with a HiSilicon Kirin 950 system chip, including an extremely fast Octa-Core processor running at 2.3 gigahertz with a huge 4 GB RAM memory. A good advantage of this cellphone is its 64 GB big internal storage and a slot for SD memory cards, more than enough to store hundreds of applications and even the largest games currently available without thinking about running out of space.

The Honor 8 is much lighter than what you expect from a phone of this size. Even though the Honor 8 just has 5.73 inches long, it is still able to fit a a 5.2 inches display. This device has an amazing design, with a thickness of just 0.29". This cellphone construction uses Glass and Metal . made this phone in many different color options like black, blue, gold, pink and white.

This cellphone is equipped with two cameras, a 12 MP back-facing camera and an 8 MP front camera. Its back-facing camera has an aperture of 2.2 so it can capture detailed photographs even in poorly lit environments. The Honor 8 can also shoot videos in Full HD 1920x1080 at 60 fps, and slow-motion videos in 1280x720 (HD) at 120 fps. Additionally, the camera includes time lapse video.

designed the Honor 8 with an awesome 5.2 inches display, and a 1080 x 1920 (Full HD) resolution, which makes everything look brightful and colorful.

This cellphone has wi-fi connectivity (and it can provide it to other devices acting as a mobile hotspot), LTE-A 4G high bandwidth connection type and also HSPA+ connection type (a lower speed 4G type) and the fastest 3G connectivity, over HSDPA and HSUPA technologies. The Honor 8 works with a Nano SIM card for GSM networks.

This phone also includes many cool characteristics such as Fingerprint unlock, NFC (Near Field Communication), Infrared Transmitter, Bluetooth (4.2 ) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

The Honor 8 counts with a 3000 mAh big capacity Li - Polymer non-removable battery that provides this phone an incredibly long battery duration. An issue to take into consideration is that the Honor 8's battery is non-removable so you won't be able to replace it when it starts to last shorter, though with such a big battery you will probably replace this phone before that becomes an issue.

This cellphone is not cheap at all considering it costs 332 dollars, and many similar cellphones can be found for much less money. No matter whether you will use it to play games, need a work cellphone, want a cellphone to mostly use social networks or are an amateur photographer, this device is probably the right one for you.
