Honor 8 review: Shining Knight

08 September 2016
Branding aside, the Honor 8 is a purebred Huawei sharing much of the P9 DNA. It was created to fill the blanks left by the P9 by reaching to markets and price tiers outside of those mandated by the Leica co-branded flagship.

I had the opportunity to hold a Honor 8 in my hands today. A solid and very beautiful phone indeed.

            Had mine for 2+ weeks and used my old Samsung headphones with it because it didn't come with one. I noticed that when I'm on a call or listening to music that it'll drop my call or end my music whenever I have a slight movement that interrupts the connection between the headphone jack and the hole for the jack. Seems like a loose connection where the slightest movement can cause a drop call or automatically initiate google voice. Has anyone else had/have this issue? I wondering if I should buy an Huawei headphone to use with it but it just doesn't make sense tho. Please help!

                        AnonD-611107, 17 Nov 2016does it allows 2 sim cards and sd at same time??I read somewhere (sorry, no source) that you could detach the chip from your simcard and attach it to a microsd so you can use the 2nd slot for both of them. Do some researches

                                    from the results of your review, especially on the camera. may i know on a sample photo of the statue, bokeh effect that is whether the results of direct capture from the camera or edited after capture by selecting the focus point and apeture?
                                    Coz all i see is bokeh of the this picture or others, is like poorly edited. and too shame if this is result of direct capture from honor 8 camera.
