It used to be that the sub-$400 category of premium smartphones was a niche market. OnePlus was one of the first to follow the formula of offering a quality handset for hundreds of dollars below its competitors. Now, a couple years have passed, and the ma...

Premium design, Great screen, Competent cameras
Fingerprint magnet, Older processor
Whilst it isn't going to give rivals like Apple or Samsung real cause for concern, the Honor 8 offers a great all-round experience for a competitive price in the flagship space, with more individuality than perhaps Sony's latest X handsets.If it's not alr...
Overall, the Honor 8 is an agile, affordable phone with several specs and features borrowed from high-end phones. But since the operating system is just OK, its looks are debatable, network compatibility in the US is limited, and there aren't any handy pa...
Great performance, luxury appearance, solid battery life, very useful fingerprint sensor, has an IR blaster, pretty good camera
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
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, both the Axon 7 and OnePlus 3 have also received high marks
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
The Honor 8 is a contradiction. For the right person, this could be a great phone. But for many, it will constitute a hardware:software trade-off that just isn't all that appealing. Underneath the kludgy EMUI and annoyingly-slippery glass exterior lie the...

Impressive specs for the price, Dual-lens rear camera takes vivid shots, Eye-catching design, Time-saving Smart Key
Camera struggles a bit in low light, EMUI software is not for everyone, Battery life is not as long as that of competitors
If you're looking to avoid the sticker shock of pricier flagship phones, you should definitely check out the Honor 8. It offers a head-turning design, fast performance and an impressive dual-lens camera. Just don't expect great-looking pics in low light...
Gorgeous design, Great camera performance, Excellent performance, Software updates for at least two years, IR blaster is a nice addition, microSD card expansion
Software could use some refinement, Lackluster battery life, Disappointing speaker, Glass back can be slippery
The Honor 8 brings what many have wanted from an affordable flagship for a while now: a gorgeous design, a smaller size, and a great camera. However, you'll still want to consider what you value most in a smartphone would be and base your final decision o...
Fantastic screen, Long battery life, Great specs for $399, Awesome fingerprint sensor
EMUI still has room to improve, Entirely average speaker, Proprietary fast charging, Camera hit or miss in low light
Before even approaching the pricing of the Honor 8, this is a really great phone. Externally, it's slick and can grab eyes with a few subtle design features while also feeling solid and built with high tolerances. The metal and glass protect really great...
The Build quality, and oh that Sapphire Blue is perfect, Fingerprint Scanner is super fast, The camera is one of the best out there right now, Battery Life is absolutely superb. The perfect phone for those playing Pokemon GO, Speaking of Pokemon GO, the d
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
This is Honor's second smartphone that's targeting the US market, and it looks like they definitely have a winner on their hands. The Honor 5X was more of a mid-range flagship at a very low price (it launched at $199 in Q1). But the Honor 8 is a true flag...
Dual cameras capture some nicelooking pics, Incredibly fast, accurate fingerprint scanner, Attractive hardware design, especially at this price, Battery life that should get you through the day
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
The Honor 8's one cute little phone, and the company could do a lot worse than to put this model forward as a hook for attracting new US customers. The phone's stylish, feels nice, and doesn't over-sell on features: the only thing that even threatens to v...
