Honor Note 8 Review

Score: 65.5 / 100

Honor Note 8 is a very solid device released some years ago, in 2016, having a huge 6.6-inches screen, an extremely powerful Octa-Core processing unit ticking at 2.5 GHz, and two cameras, a 13 mega-pixels back side camera and an 8 MP front-facing camera.

This phone feels much lighter than what you would expect from a phone this size. This phone has a wonderful design, with a thickness of just 0.28 inches. This phone is a very compact device, given that it packs a 6.6" screen and it's only 7.04 inches long and 3.58 inches wide. is offering this cellphone in 2 color options, gold and gray.

This device is equipped with an amazing 6.6" display with a 1440 x 2560 (Quad HD / 2K) resolution, which makes it impossible to even see the pixels in the display.

The Honor Note 8 ships with a very fast 2500 megahertz Octa-Core processor, packed into a HiSilicon Kirin 955 system chip with a large 4 GB of RAM memory. This cellphone counts with a 128 GB impressive internal storage memory and an SD card slot, more than enough to install hundreds of apps and even the heaviest games available nowadays without worrying about how much storage capacity is left.

The Honor Note 8 includes WiFi capability (which can be provided to other devices as a mobile hotspot), 4G (LTE-A) , the fastest connection type and the fastest 3G connection type, supported by HSPA technologies. This cellphone supports dual sim cards so it's able to use two different carriers or phone lines in the same cellphone.

The Honor Note 8 has two cameras, a 13 MP back facing camera and an 8 MP front side camera. This phone can also capture videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD).

The Honor Note 8 also features some nice characteristics as Biometric fingerprint, Bluetooth (4.2 ) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This cellphone features a 4500 mAh big Li - Polymer non-replaceable battery that can keep it running for several hours and even reach the end of the day without having to charge it. An issue to evaluate is that the Honor Note 8's battery is not removable so you can't buy a new battery when it starts to lose its charge, even though with so much capacity you will probably buy a new phone before that becomes an issue.

is offering this phone for $ 420, which is not cheap for a phone this level. No matter whether you are looking for a work cellphone, will use it as a social phone, are a photography fan or want it for gaming, you will probably be very pleased with it.
