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...

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...
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 No, not the outdated concept they're forever banging on about in Game of Thrones, the Chinese smartphone maker that's coming after the likes of Apple and Samsung.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 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...
