Oh hurray!!! The first fruit of huawei manufacturing phones in India is launched. Wonderful!!! The price for the start I think is OK but we need to know the whole specs. Honor 8 smart specs I almost imagined it correctly. Just what I thought.

    Bestest out of Best

      The news nowhere mentions whether the honor 8 launched in India is a single sim or dual one? On amazon india listing though it shows single. However, I dont think theres any such version actually available or being manufactured. Any idea guys? As I wish to buy this beauty if it is dual!

            Such a ridiculous pricing. Honor 8 is available@₹23000 in China. The pricing should have been ₹9k Honor holy, 16k for Honor smart & 23k for Honor 8.
            Huwaei could have captured the whole Indian market if the pricing was right.
            Samsung note 7 debacle was the chance for them. Also, only iPhone 7+ has that dual camera tech which is the usp of Honor 8. Huwaei needs to lower down the prices.
            Huwaei P9 is also priced so high.

              Can someone please tell me, are Honor 8 Smart and Honor 5c same devices?? Or there is any difference except naming?

                Pricing of Honor 8 , Honor 8 smart and Honor Holly is all wrong ...Looks like the same person has priced these phones who has finalised the pricetag of Zenfone 3 series. Hahahahahahaha ... Price these phones still a little higher , then who dont have to keep any phones in stock as there will be no customer. Ridiculous pricing. Honor 8 should have been priced Rs 20k . Not a rupee more . As regards the rest people dont care. Many were planning to buy Honor 8 in India but now the prospective buyer must have decreased by 90% due to its exorbitant pricing. People would rather buy Oneplus 3.

                  AnonD-510098, 12 Oct 2016Hahaha are you dumb? The Honor 8 has a way better camera No, it doesn't. The only aspect honor 8 wins OnePlus 3 is about playing the bokeh/aperture effect. My friend using honor 8 while I'm using OnePlus 3, even him likes my picture more than his own Honor 8. Or maybe honor 8 auto mode doesn't perform well as OnePlus 3 auto mode. Manual mode could be different.

                    For Holly 3 (Kirin 620) price should've been 7000 to be competitive. At 9999 it will be eaten alive by Redmi Note 3, LeEco. It cant even compete with its own older models Honor 5c (Kirin 650), 5x (SD616) at same price range.

                      ali, 12 Oct 2016one plus 3 camera is better than honor 8Hahaha are you dumb? The Honor 8 has a way better camera

                        GSMA correct your page it seems Honor Holly 3 is just HD not FHD and chipset is Kirin 620 with sh*t GPU Mali T450 and no FP sensor as well. Honor 5c, 5x were much better than this phone. Huawei phones not good in budget anymore same with Asus, Moto

                              I was interested in Honor 8 Smart but 2 GB RAM for Rs 20000 is nothing but a joke. Either they give 3 GB Ram or price the phone at Rs 15000.

                                Device looks stunning but (EM) UI is still remains to be crappy, they didn't improvise the look or feel while other OEMs like sony and HTC are leaning towards stock interface. RIP emui. After sales is still an issue with huawei device. No phone is perfect on today's date, so do this phone. Kirni-950 for 30K oh wow.. what is been drunk by huawei sales team ? Google is trying their fate and huawei is imitating google in pricing. So budget phones will cost 30K ($550) from now on-wards ? wth ?? Sorry we have 1+3 to beat you all chinese players.

                                  Are Honor 8 Smart and Holly 3 both going to have fp sensors?

                                    Am i reading it wrong?? Kirin 650 for 20k... I dont see it will attract any audience, (not at least in India!)

                                      What is the CPU in Holly 3? For Honor 8 Smart, Kirin 650 for 20k is expensive; the GPU sucks, Honor 5c has same chipset at 10K. Huawei has increased its prices with growth. First with Nova now here with Smart
