Most worthy purchase ever!
I've been using this phone for 6 years, I had no big issue other than its battery life. My night charging habit didn't help to maintain its battery health. Replaced the battery once back in 2020 and it worked great after replacement. Love its camera that produced natural color, and its pro photo is decent enough for a mid range phone to capture stars at night. Sometimes it lags, it is an old phone, but, Kirin 950 still rocks after all these years. Fingerprint sensor/shortcut button, the infrared controller all still working. This phone has solid build, I've dropped it countless time, it survived with few dents and scratches, no broken screen. However, I'm in need to find a new phone though because mine only support Android 7.0. I can't install apps that specifically need Android 10.0 or above to run. Been surveying for new phones but still hasn't found unique phone like Honor 8.

hi, 11 Dec 2022HORRIBLE battery, 2 battery replacements and didnt see much... moreI have the same issue. Been using it since 2017. Only downside is battery. Even after changing, it doesn't give good backup. Without this, it's an awesome phone. If battery wasn't an issue, i would've continued using it. Now I'm thinking of changing.

HORRIBLE battery, 2 battery replacements and didnt see much change. Just used it for basic stuff and it had issues with the battery life regardless. Other than that, I loved the phone.

Overall a great phone which lasted for 5 years and still counting after battery replacement.
The only disappointment is android 8 wasn't available for my region.

I was confused at first as to why I didn't have the update at the time when it came out, but then I found out how to update it by myself so yeah, hope this helps.

I bought my Huawei Honor 8 FRD-L04 phone back in 2016 or 2017 and have had no issues with it other than having to replace the battery in 2020. I'm back online now in 2021 looking for a new phone; not because I want to replace it, not because it's broken... but because the recent change in US cell service has rendered the actual call service of the phone to be unreliable. I need a phone with multiple internal antennas with x, y & z scanners in order to use the cell towers now... necessitating a new phone :( same thing happened to my sister a couple months ago and a friend 2 weeks ago. Posting this here so others might see it. It's not widely known yet that this is causing cell use problems with older but still working phones.

FRD-L14 here
No updates to new Android versions but that's OK. Bought around 2017 and used daily. Phone is small compared to a lot of phones nowadays . It's great in hand, Kirin 950 is plenty fast still, good camera, good display. UI is different compared to Moto but it has everything I need out of the box. The only bad was battery that needed to be replaced (but that's expected for a 4-5 year old) and phone was great again. Still being used.

2. finger print accessing speed is outstanding
3. performance is good ,camera is average compared to recent phones
4. connectivity is ok, sound is good ,charging speed is low
5. battery life (decent)

Black Dollar , 30 Jul 2021Mine is exactly 5 years but still in very good condition as... moreYou are lucky. I bought mine somewhere in 2016 as well. But unlike yours, my screen was quite okay, but it started to do weird things, so I had to replace it. For instance, the hotspot suddenly didn't work, nobody could connect to me any more. Also, it was quite some outdated. The camera especially, it seems to me. But hey, I bought it and thought it would last about 2 years, so it kind of surprised on that front that I kept it so long :D
I wish yours good luck, so it may last longer than mine did.

I like this phone a lot, just 2 downsides:
1) I have an FRD-L09, so it's android 6.0- android 7.0, no android 8.0 update for me :(
2) The design is pretty bad for someone in the second half of 2021. It looks a bit old and a tiny bit like my old phone, the Galaxy S5 (just without the home button).
I'd recommend this phone to people switching from phones made before 2017 and like Huawei's EMUI.

After almost 4.5 years of very decent service, I finally retired my Honor 8 and switched to the S20FE. The battery life had deteriorated considerably over the past 2 years. Moreover, the battery would occasionally die when it was supposed to be at 40-50 % charge according to the home screen.
In any case, proved to be a good purchase. Would not say it was a great phone, but a reliable phone with a very good CPU that still holds up today and a good camera in daylight. Also. EMUI is not at all bad, the sound recorder and player app are good. Would have gotten another Huawei device if it wasn't for this US embargo.
