Honor 8S's 2020 refresh leaks: low price, more storage and a gradient

Peter, 30 April 2020

A refresh for the Honor 8S is on the way – the 2020 model will maintain the dual texture look on the back and will remain a simple, highly affordable smartphone.

According to leaked info, the price will edge up a bit and the new model will cost €135. That is compensated with more RAM and storage out of the box – 3/64GB. Compare that to the original, which was €120 and came with 2GB of RAM and 32GB storage.

There is also a slight tweak to the design, you can see that there’s a bit of a gradient going on. Here’s the 2019 model for comparison:

However, the phone still has teardrop-shaped notch on the front and a single camera on the back, that much hasn’t changed. Even the resolution of the rear camera is the same, 13MP.
