Battery life "Epic" is how I would describe it
All things considered. The Honor 8 sips power and easily managed almost twice the battery life I got on Alcatel's similarlypriced Idol 4S. Granted

The editors didn't like
EMUI still has room to improve
Entirely average speaker
Proprietary fast charging
Camera hit or miss in low light
Lower resolution display compared to competitors
Slight camera shutter release lag
EMUI software from Huawei is limiting
EMUI could still use a bit of work
Luckily a third-party launcher will get rid of most of the issues
Price is a bit high
But then again it's still pretty competitive with the ZTE AXON 7 and OnePlus 3
No support for Verizon or Sprint
Which is due to t
EMUI I know EMUI has its fans
But I cannot stand this interface. It is an affront to Android
Both aesthetically and functionally. Did you know every time you install a new app in EMUI
The system won't let it run when the display is off (i.e
Sync in th
Poor GPS performance
Middling graphics performance
No app drawer on EMUI
Too much bloatware
A little too expensive compared to similarly priced phones
Hard to grip securely without a case
Prev2 of 2Next
The phone is very slippery due to having glass on both the front and back
The Honor 8 is missing wireless charging
No VoLTE support No dualSIM
Fast charger not included
Expensive
Mediocre battery life
Heavy UI layer causes occasional performance hiccups
Slippery
Fingerprint-prone design
CPU performance can't keep up with OnePlus 3
Though it's not a slow phone
Battery just OK
Camera struggles in low light
Needs more carrier support
Midrange graphics
EMUI 4.0 lacks an app tray
GSM only
Not compatible with Verizon or Sprint
Fingerprint magnet
Older processor
Performance just can't quite compete with flagships
EMUI may be a bit too iOSy for serious Android fans
Brand still largely unknown to US shoppers
Price point presents some stiff competition
Battery life falls short and knuckle gestures are gimmicky. It's a smudge magnet
Camera struggles a bit in low light
EMUI software is not for everyone
Battery life is not as long as that of competitors

The Honor 8 is a fine phone, it's just not really a satisfying one. On one hand, its internals offer premium-level performance that's hard to come by in a $400 smartphone. On the other hand, its software is cumbersome, the camera is a disappointment, and...
Great design, Fingerprint reader works well, IR blaster
Too expensive, One speaker, One SIM available when using microSD card
The Honor 8 is a solid performer without hitting the high notes of some of its rivals like the OnePlus 3. Its price needs to be slashed in order for it to be competitive...

good battery life, snappy, feels and looks nice, excellent fingerprint scanner, good camera, dual sim, headphone jack, microSD card slot
back is very slippery, software isn't as good as the hardware
The Honor 8 is an excellent smartphone that balances a premium look, feel and performance with a mid-range price, which should make you question why should you pay over the odds for a top-end phone. Battery life is good, the dual camera setup produces dec...
Fingerprint prone, no optical image stabilisation on camera
The premium budget market is strewn with the carcasses of good smartphones. There are so many stunning options out there including the Alcatel Idol 4S, OnePlus 3 and others. The undisputed king of this range is the OnePlus 3 and with a budget of <£400, it...

The Honor 8 is very special. With a label price of under £370 for the 32GB version, it's a genuine flagship killer. We wish that Huawei would leave the Android interface alone, but at the same time EMUI adds so much value in terms of little touches that i...
Outstanding metal-and-glass design, Impressive dual-sensor camera, Useful IR sensor, Good price point
Cumbersome software, Disappointing display
Huawei has achieved what amounts to a supply chain miracle: it's crammed nearly every high-end component of the P9, a phone that retails for well north of $600 unlocked, into a handset half the price: $400 for 32GB and $450 for 64GB. That's deserving of...
