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
Attractive design, Quick fingerprint scanner, Good performance
Hampered by Emotion UI, So-so camera, Better value alternatives available
Honor 8 – Camera The dual-sensor camera returns – arguably, the Huawei P9's headline feature. Gone is the Leica branding of the lenses, however. Sony's 12-megapixel IMX286 sensors are used – one RGB, one monochrome – and they have 1.25um-sized pixels. As...
Abstract: Never heard of Honor? No, not the outdated concept they're forever banging on about in Game of Thrones, the Chinese smartphone maker that's coming after the likes of Apple and Samsung. No? Well it's time to take note. The new Honor 8 just dropped and it's...

The Honor 8 is a fantastic smartphone, but the price has gone up from the Honor 7. In return for the additional expense you get a fantastic dual-camera, a sleek and stylish design, a faster fingerprint sensor and a beautiful display, which combined make t...

The biggest difference between the two phones, however, is the price. Where the Huawei P9 sells for £449 from Huawei's Vmall.eu website, the Honor 8 is a much more reasonable £370. That's quite a step up in price over the Honor 7, which sold for £250 at l...
Gorgeous design, quality build - doesn't feel "mid-range" at all, Dual cameras take impressive photos, Battery life to last all day
Beaten on price by OnePlus, EMUI has crept into every nook and cranny
Look at the spec sheet and it's tough to see where Honor could have shaved any more off the price. The £369 Honor 8 should be stinkingly good value, even if the twin cameras are more of a novelty than must-have extra. The problem was always going to be t...

Highly effective for the (anticipated) price point, looks great and is a step-up beyond the Honor 7 in all areas, dual cameras feature is quirky and fun, detailed controls of apps and battery life
Battery life could be better given the capacity, some graphical hangs, OnePlus 3 is a formidable competitor, fingerprint grease destroy the aesthetic style, EMUI re-skin can be fussy
As mid-level phones go the Honor 8 lays down some solid specification benchmarks for its £370 price. In reality, however, some of them don't quite live up to the paperwork: the battery life ought to be a little longer lasting, while the odd "hang" h...
Good, solid build, Dual cameras take quality snaps, Affordable price
No 'must, have' feature, Knuckle gestures are really odd, Nondescript design
The Honor 8 does a lot of things right, and comes at a price that will make higher-end phones green with envy. It could have been a flagship killer if it had just one standout feature...

Good, Premium design, Good performance, Good value for money
Relatively bulky and difficult to handle, Average cameras, Lacks fast charging
Honor is making an attempt to penetrate the market with a good-looking and relatively affordable phablet that offers good value for money. Not only does this phone look good, it performs great for its price thanks to the new HiSilicon Kirin 710 SoC. Other...
