Blue marvel. The Honor 8 comes to us in an appealing 2.5D-glass casing and classy colors. But is a stylish casing and dual-camera enough to convince buyers in the highly competitive mid-range? We will find out in our test...

Huawei had to clip the wings of Honor's 8 to prevent it from becoming a threat to its own Huawei P9 top model. The unique, classy design, very fast and accurate handling, and high performance let the question arise why at least 100 Euros (~$112) more shou...

Good smartphones are getting cheaper; in fact, they are fast becoming a commodity. Little separates a mid-range handset from the flagships in terms of utility. In addition, mid-range handsets are beginning to sport features that were once only found on th...

It's not necessary to spend $700+ for a good smartphone. The Huawei Honor 8 is a prime example of a mid-range smartphone with near flagship performance and build. It even has high-end features like an excellent fingerprint scanner and dual-lens camera...

It has become tough to elevate the smartphone when it comes to design and materials. Over the past couple of years, we've seen some features that would only be expected on high-end smartphones, trickle down and find their way into handsets that are priced...
It used to be that the sub-$400 category of premium smartphones was a niche market. OnePlus was one of the first to follow the formula of offering a quality handset for hundreds of dollars below its competitors. Now, a couple years have passed, and the ma...

Chinese technology giant Huawei just introduced its Honor 8 smartphone to the US market. This US$400 phone boasts a 12 MP dual-lens rear camera, 8 MP front camera, glass body, expandable storage, 4 GB of RAM and other specs that echo the best of this year...
Overall, the Honor 8 is an agile, affordable phone with several specs and features borrowed from high-end phones. But since the operating system is just OK, its looks are debatable, network compatibility in the US is limited, and there aren't any handy pa...

Huawei generally keeps their Huawei-branded phones out of the United States — no P9 or Mate phones for us. What we do get are their Nexus devices and the phones sold under their Honor brand. Huawei's Honor phones tend to be priced as midrange devices, but...

Huawei's budget sub-brand Honor is the subject of increasing chatter in phone geek circles of late. In January, the Honor 5X introduced the “company” (insofar as they operate as a separate business unit) to a western audience with a very affordable, metal...
Battery life "Epic" is how I would describe it, all things considered. The Honor 8 sips power and easily managed almost twice the battery life I got on Alcatel's similarlypriced Idol 4S. Granted, both the Axon 7 and OnePlus 3 have also received high marks...
EMUI I know EMUI has its fans, but I cannot stand this interface. It is an affront to Android, both aesthetically and functionally. Did you know every time you install a new app in EMUI, the system won't let it run when the display is off (i.e, sync in th...
The Honor 8 is a contradiction. For the right person, this could be a great phone. But for many, it will constitute a hardware:software trade-off that just isn't all that appealing. Underneath the kludgy EMUI and annoyingly-slippery glass exterior lie the...

This is Honor's second smartphone that's targeting the US market, and it looks like they definitely have a winner on their hands. The Honor 5X was more of a mid-range flagship at a very low price (it launched at $199 in Q1). But the Honor 8 is a true flag...

2016 continues as the year of the affordable but really good Android phone, particularly unlocked models that are sold direct and via retailers rather than carriers. There's the OnePlus 3, Alcatel Idol 4S, ZTE Axon 7, the Moto G4/G4 Plus and now the Huawei Honor 8. The Honor...
