The Honor Line up of Huawei is the much waited of all of its sorts despite, it does not lie in flagship realm. The company is doing all what it can to introduce the best out of its upper-midrange which has always been welcomed by the customers. Much like, Huawei Honor 8 was expected to give competition to flagship handset like Galaxy S7 and its edge version but and so on so forth. Huawei is also working on the budget handsets of Honor series which are coming out to be quite well for the customers. But Honor 8 has made a mark wherever it is being launched.

Huawei Honor 8 Review.

Design-wise, we feel a very premium body which lies close to high-end offering with aluminum band covered by glass and metal build. The handset also features an IR blaster that control TVs and other household appliances and for me it is notable addition. But the downside is glass build which makes the handset slipping from the hands or displacing in pockets. The Honor 8 is sporting a 5.2″ 1080P LTPS display, which has a crispy visual and saturated and punchy colors. You can incessantly stream HD videos and play games. However, the calibration is a bit meek.

Unsurprisingly, Honor 8 runs on Huawei’s home-brewed processors, a HiSilicon Kirin 950, under the hood. The Kirin 950 offers a very grave competition to the newly built and currently industry’s icon of benchmark. Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, when evaluated can boost with Honor 8’s Mali-T880 MP4 GPU in playing mobile games. However, it is noteworthy, that high-end Adreno GPUs can perform better and prove more futuristic than Mali GPUs. For instance, in a 3Dmark test, the ZTE Axon 7 with the Adreno 530 scored a 2580 whereas the Honor 8 with the Mali-T880 MP4 scored a 964.

Camera-wise, Huawei has put forward a very balanced option with less high-end camera features yet fulfilling major areas. The rear unit is 12MP dual-camera set up and f/2.2 aperture and hybrid autofocus (laser assisted). There are two lens where one holds colored configuration to capture better image, while the other is monochromic. Both serves to snap crispier images. On the front side, the Huawei Honor 8 features an 8MP shooter. The performance is powerful unlike the other affordable handsets of sort. The company has deployed an aperture mode ranging from f/0.95 to f/16 so you can have wider options when it comes to snapping.

It has a whopping 3000mAh battery which will juice the 32GB internal memory expandable up to 128GB via microSD.

If you want a high-end feel with an affordable package, go for it.
