Stuff | Tom Morgan

The Honor 8 Pro is an impressive phablet. High-end flash for half the usual cash. You'll have to think very carefully before spending more money on a phone.

Expert Reviews | Christopher Minasians

If you're in search of a large smartphone, the Honor 8 Pro is quite simply one of the best money can buy.

The Mobile Indian | Rohan Pal

Honor 8 Pro is probably one of the best Honor devices so far. The device looks premium and distinctive enough for a mid-premium smartphone.

... it is the better version of the Huawei P10 at a much lesser price with the Honor branding.

Honor 8 Pro is an absolute steal for what it offers.

Recombu | Chris Barraclough

This may be Honor's most expensive mobile so far, but the Pro still undercuts most of its rivals and offers a great all-round experience.

Engadget | Jamie Rogg

The Honor 8 Pro is Huawei's best flagship yet. Forget the P10 and buy this instead.

Android Authority | Abhishek Baxi

It's got the best chipset in the house, a high-resolution display that looks gorgeous, latest Android out of the box, and a good enough dual camera… all packed in a very stylish and solid chassis. The Honor 8 Pro is nothing short of a fantastic flagship smartphone in 2017.

NotebookCheck | Marcus Heibrich

All in all, the Honor 8 Pro is a very successful smartphone and a recommendable alternative to the Huawei P10 devices. However, in our opinion, it is not an attack on the best flagship smartphones of 2017.

What Mobile | Thomas Wellburn

The Honor 8 Pro is an excellent device that ticks boxes in all the right areas… and offers it all for a good price. The Honor 8 Pro is a massive upgrade on the original Honor 8 which takes the handset beyond mid-range and into the upper tier

It's not perfect, mind you, but it gets damned close, especially for that price.

Honor has presented us with an attractive package in terms of price vs performance.

91mobiles | Nitansh Rastogi

Between the Honor 8 Pro and OnePlus 5, it's a close call. But the fact that the Honor 8 Pro has better cameras and is priced lower, tilts the balance in its favour – and makes us forget about its average battery life. All in all, if you have the budget, then you can't go wrong with the Honor 8 Pro.

Firstpost | Sheldon Pinto

Clearly, Huawei has done its homework and put up an offering with the right specifications at a rather low price.

NDTV Gadgets | Aditya Shenoy

It does seem as though the Honor 8 Pro is a good all-rounder. It might not be the leader of the pack but it isn't far behind, and definitely looks like a much better deal than the slightly less expensive Samsung Galaxy C7 Pro and Moto Z2 Play. For its price, it is considerably more affordable than the OnePlus 5, potentially making it just as much of a flagship killer.

ITProPortal | Michael Moore

The Honor 8 Pro combines high-end hardware with a smooth and polished design. It's easy to use and will comfortably last all day, but is lacking that little bit of sparkle that could tie it all together.

PC Mag | Thomas Newton

The Honor 8 Pro is a fantastic value for money purchase that somewhat undermines the value of the P10 range, but doesn't quite challenge their high-end rivals.

Honor has found a winner with the 8 Pro, delivering a high-performing phone at exactly the right price.

TechRadar | Luke Johnson

The Honor 8 Pro is an accomplished, well-rounded phone, but one that's just lacking that killer feature to take it from good into the realms of greatness. It's easy on the eye, offers plenty of power and has a sizeable battery, but there's nothing to get truly excited by.

Android Headlines | Alexander Maxham

The Honor 8 Pro is the bigger, beefier version of one of my favorite smartphones from 2016, so I had high expectations for the Honor 8 Pro, and it did not disappoint. Honor took their best phone and super-sized it, keeping all of the best features of the Honor 8.

phoneArena | Daniel P.

The Honor 8 Pro takes off where the Honor 8 left. We found the Honor 8 Pro to be a very compelling offer in the high-end, all at a price that undercuts the direct competitors just enough for potential users to pay attention.

Trusted Reviews | Richard Easton

The Honor 8 Pro presents Honor's most accomplished all-round phone to date. It manages to check the right boxes when it comes to a high-end phone, without veering into the pricier territory of the heavyweight flagships.

The Huawei Honor 8 Pro's great specs and affordable price make it a worthy option if you want high-end features without emptying your bank account.

Pocket-lint | Mike Lowe

If you're looking for a big-screen phone that's long-lasting and powerful, but which won't destroy your bank account, the Honor 8 Pro is well worth considering. Just don't say we didn't warn you about the width.

...the Honor 8 Pro is not just the best option for those looking for a high-end device on a...budget but also has what it takes to be the one that adds a minus to the market share of the OnePlus 5.

How HandsetExpert Works: We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information.

Important notes

  • We aim to compare as many tariffs in the marketplace from the UK as possible. However, we do not include every package (e.g. legacy tariffs no longer available, or tariffs only available to existing/specific customers), nor do we detail every aspect of every tariff (e.g. international out of bundle rates, on-network minutes, etc).
  • SIM Only deals do not include plans shorter than 30 days or Pay As You Go rates.
  • We work really hard to get accurate prices from as many providers as possible, but some deals or providers may not be included; if there’s anything we’ve missed then please get in touch and let us know.
  • Whenever we can, we will let you know if a deal is time limited (such as a flash deal), and when the deal expires.
  • For tariffs which offer "unlimited" allowances, there may be times where traffic management or fair usage policies apply.
  • Additional charges for payment methods other than direct debit and for itemised/paper billing may apply.
  • Data only SIM cards, mobile broadband packages, and pay monthly tablets are currently not included in the comparison.
  • Out of bundle charges are not included in the calculation of Average Monthly Cost.
  • Contracts may not be available for some phone models in all colours and/or sizes, and a small number may only be available either as a pay monthly contract or a contract free handset, but not both.
  • Providers may increase the cost of your contract by RPI (inflation). However, if prices are increased that then cause a materially detrimental impact, you have the right to exit your contract without penalty. More details available from Ofcom plus comparative information on customer service and complaints handling & their guide on how to complain.
  • Ofcom runs a voluntary accreditation scheme for digital comparison tools (DCTs) for telephone, broadband and pay-TV, and has confirmed that this DCT meets the criteria for accreditation. For further details about the scheme, including the criteria that DCTs must meet, visit the price comparison page on the Ofcom website.
