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
Abstract: Honor 8 is recently launched in India featuring dual 12 MP camera and 2.5D glass body. It houses a fast Kirin 950 CPU and 4 GB RAM. Do you think this configuration will let Honor 8 last longer with its 3000 mAh battery? We tested Honor 8 battery for few d...
The phone has a battery capacity of 3000mAh which is low if you ask me but that is being corrected with the fast charging that Honor 8 has. You can get upto 47% of battery with just half an hour of charging which is great. So the battery capacity, in the...
If you want to buy a smartphone which can be flaunted and delivers consistent performance on the camera front, go for Honor 8. It offers a smooth performance and at Rs 29,999, it is not that costly for a high-end device. Yes, lack of VoLTE may disappoint...
The Honor 8 has all the ingredients of a high-end flagship smartphone. From camera to hardware and performance, this phone excels in every department. It is a gorgeous looking phone that checks all of the boxes for important features like good display, fa...
Stunning Design with Good Ergonomics, Good Display, Solid Performance, Good Battery Life, Fast and Accurate Fingerprint Sensor with Switch Key Feature, Good Audio Quality
Single SIM Only (Might not be a con for all), No VoLTE Support (Currently), No RAW Photo Capture, No 4K Video Recording,
The Honor 8 probably best summarized as being a Huawei P9 in newer and fancier clothing. However, it doesn't just stop at that. The Honor 8 brings in more RAM, the clickable fingerprint sensor, an even better battery life and more at a more affordable pri...
Abstract: Honor has launched its flagship Honor 8 in India today at a price of ₹29,999. Honor 8 has all-new look featuring a dual camera and its right behind the flagship HUAWEI P9. While not a Leica camera, on paper, Honor 8 still uses the 12 MP dual camera. We re...
By now I may have already answered most of your queries. The Huawei Honor 8 indeed appears to stand up to the OnePlus 3 and packs in something different in the form of a dual camera setup and outstanding build quality. Unfortunately it does not stand up t...
Good, Excellent display, Striking aesthetics, Powerful performance, Very good cameras, Good software features
No FM radio, Single SIM functionality
If you've read through the entire review then it's pretty clear that the Honor 8 is nearly as good as it looks on paper, with the only exceptions being the lack of VoLTE support (for now), the missing FM radio, the slippery body, and slightly underwhelmin...
Abstract: Chinese tech giant Huawei has been making waves in the Indian market for quite some time. The company has recently launched its flagship handset- P9 , packing the industry's first Leica sensors on a smartphone skeleton, and is now geared up to launch anot...
So that's that then - Huawei may be trying to run Honor as a separate brand in some regions, but the Chinese company's design philosophy is clearly visible in the 8. A flashier P9 without the Leica branding we can certainly live with. Knowing you save €15...
