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.

This one looks even better than the P9. And they essentially have the same specs, minus some of the camera software from the leica branding. But that's fine given the much cheaper price tag. This is a definite buy for those who want a reasonably priced good looking phone for a reasonable price.

      Pinch out on the home screen and get your apps hidden.
      EMUI hides many secrets.

                  "The performance of a single Cortex-A72 core is rather uninspiring compared to the Snapdragon 820's Kryo within the OnePlus 3 and the Galaxy S7."

                  A72 is actually more powerful than Kryo. Geekbench 3 test were not as accurate and did not conform to SPEC. Re do the test with new Geekbench 4, it confirmed at the same process and clock speed Kryo has the same IPC as A57. Both A72 and Samsung M1 cores are faster than Kryo.
