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.

      $399.99

        The overall endurance rating of the battery according to GSM Arena's tests is less than that of the LG G3 - pathetic! Would never buy a 2016 phone with such mediocre battery life. Give me the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 please, less expensive and longer battery life.

                    AnonD-531500, 10 Sep 2016No it is NOT any plus! it is V8 and yes it has 2k screen ... moreI watched from a chinese review in youtube saying that the honor V8 display is brighter and contrast is higher than the honor 8's display... So I guess it's safe to say the V8 has the same or slightly better sunlight legibility than honor 8....

                              The battery life isn't good at all.
