Honor, sister company to the more well-known Huawei, wants to make a name for itself outside of its native China.
It’s had forays out west before, but now it’s launched the Honor 8 in the US. At $399.99/$449.99 (no UK or AU pricing yet), it’s a device Honor hopes attracts users – millennials, in particular – with flagship-style specs without the price that usually goes along with the breed.
The Honor 8 is indeed a phone with some boast-worthy particulars. Its screen is a silky 5.2-inch Full HD, 1080p affair that’s bright and crisp. A 3,000mAh battery, slightly smaller than the Honor 7‘s, is still respectable, at least on paper. It has a proprietary Kirin 950 processor, 4GB of RAM and 32GB or 64GB of internal storage, which is expandable to 128GB thanks to a microSD card slot.
A fingerprint scanner, USB Type-C, some nifty if superfluous software tricks and dual 12MP rear cameras – the Honor 8’s marquee feature – round out the phone’s call sheet.
