Honor 8 deals and reviews

Know Your Mobile | Paul Briden

The Honor 8 has amazing specs and features and it costs hardly anything at all (...) This is amazing value and just one of the reasons the Honor 8 comes highly recommended.

MobileTechTalk | Domenico Lamberti

I love the Honor 8 and I think it is a tremendous buy, even at the high price . Whilst its price seems high, we have to remember that this is Honor's flagship and when you compare it to other flagships those are usually in much more higher price.

ZDNet | Matthew Miller

The Honor 8 is extremely well designed and is perfect for slipping into your front pocket. While it doesn't have the highest resolution display, it looks the same as the high res smartphones to my eyes. It's a stunning device, especially in the unique sapphire blue color.

There's very little bad to say about the Honor 8, but plenty of good.

NDTV Gadgets | Roydon Cerejo

The Honor 8 is a great all-rounder and is worth considering over the OnePlus 3 or Zenfone 3, if you're looking for something different. It has a solid processor, useful software tricks, very good display, capable cameras and enough battery power to last you a day. On the whole, it's very compelling.

Mobile Choice | Sunetra Chakravarti

The Honor 8, especially in sapphire blue, tops in build quality and looks. It is also very very capable with the 4GB RAM and dual primary cameras. With EMUI sculpted to be really user-friendly, recommending the phone comes very easy.

Recombu | Alex Todd

The Honor 8 offers a great all-round experience for a competitive price in the flagship space, with more individuality than perhaps competitor handsets.

NotebookCheck | Florian Wimmer

Honor's 8 is a superb upper mid-range smartphone that might be the right smartphone for many people with its casing, performance, and quick handling.. In total, Honor's 8 made a very positive impression on us, and it does not have to fear any comparison device in the upper mid-range.

Android Authority | Bailey Stein

The Honor 8 brings what many have wanted from an affordable flagship for a while now: a gorgeous design, a smaller size, and a great camera. However, you'll still want to consider what you value most in a smartphone would be and base your final decision off of that.

The Mobile Indian | Sandeep Budki

If you want to buy a smartphone which can be flaunted and delivers consistent performance on the camera front, go for Honor 8. It offers smooth performance, it is not that costly for a high-end device.

Gadgets Now | Riyana Lama

...At the price point it sports, getting a dual camera is difficult on other handsets. However, smartphones aren't just limited to a dual camera or a decent design - other competing brands possess a larger fan base than the Honor 8. With its specifications, the handset is taking on the likes of the OnePlus 3 and Moto Z Play

The Huawei Honor 8 is a great device with a few compromises.

AndroidPit | Eric Ferrari-Herrmann

The Honor 8 impressed me with beauty inside and out. Thanks to the good camera, it also scores in lifestyle.

GottaBeMobile | Kevin Purcell

If you're looking for an alternative to the Galaxy phones or the iPhone, the Huawei Honor 8 offers a compelling choice, especially for people who don't want to pay more than $400.

Expert Reviews | Christopher Minasians

The Honor 8 is a fantastic smartphone, especially at its lower price tag. It has a fantastic camera, a beautiful and unique design, a fast processor resulting in a fluid Android 7 experience and its Full HD screen is excellent. It is only let down by its battery life.

TechRadar | Matt Swider

Honor 8 is the fanciest-looking Android phones out of China, with an awesome light-refracting glass design and high-end specs. Its dual camera captures photos that are better than its mid-range competition, though the overall software can be a confusing mess sometimes and its rivals provide a better value when it comes to storage and screen real estate.

Phone Scoop | Eric M. Zeman

The Honor 8 from Huawei is a very good phone, but stops short of being excellent. A few hardware and software issues prevent the Honor 8 from living up to its full potential.

Brighthand | Jamison Cush

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... Give it a long look and you might end up saving good money.

PC Mag | Ajay Kumar

The distinctive Huawei Honor 8 is a stylish handset that has the potential to compete with more expensive smartphones

The Guardian | Samuel Gibbs

The Honor 8 is an excellent smartphone that balances a premium look, feel and performance with a mid-range price, which should make you question why should you pay over the odds for a top-end phone.

Tom's Guide | Philip Michaels

With a dual-lens camera and a stunning glass design, the Honor 8 delivers the kind of quality you'd expect from a phone that costs a lot more.... It offers a head-turning design, fast performance and an impressive dual-lens camera. Just don't expect great-looking pics in low light. And while the Emotion UI adds some nifty features, it doesn't provide the cleanest user experience.

Android Headlines | Alexander Maxham

This is Honor's second smartphone that's targeting the US market, and it looks like they definitely have a winner on their hands.... And during our time with it, the Honor 8 doesn't just talk the talk, it walks the walk as well. We've had no major complaints with this phone after using it as our daily driver for about a week. Something that's not said all that often... But the Honor 8 is a true flagship at basically mid-range pricing.

Stuff | Tom Morgan

Familiar hardware that punches well above its weight, and a design to die for, but gets beaten down to second place by the cheaper OnePlus 3.

Pocket-lint | Mike Lowe

As mid-level phones go the Honor 8 lays down some solid specification benchmarks for its price. In reality, however, some of them don't quite live up to the paperwork: the battery life ought to be a little longer lasting, while the odd "hang" here and there doesn't provide perfect graphics for gaming.

What Mobile | Thomas Wellburn

The Honor 8 is a great device that performs above the asking price. With an improved camera and much better design, it looks like a premium handset you'd be proud to show off… even if can't stay still on a flat surface.

CNET UK | Jessica Dolcourt

The Huawei Honor 8 is a likable midprice phone with some extra perks, but its short battery life holds it back.

phoneArena | Stephen S.

The Honor 8 does enough right that we find ourselves recommending the phone. EMUI isn't going to be for everyone – but then again, neither is buying an unlocked handset manufacturer-direct. If any of that sounds like something you'd be up for, though, there's a lot to like in this phone.

Firstpost | Sheldon Pinto

The Honor 8 will be a great alternative to the pricey Huawei P9 and obviously better than the Asus Zenfone 3. It would be safe to place the Honor 8 second to the OnePlus 3.

AnandTech | Matt Humrick

If you're looking for something a bit smaller that costs less than the HTC 10 or Galaxy S7, but still want a polished user experience, the Honor 8 is a pretty good phone that's worth a look.

ITProPortal | Desire Athow

The Honor 8 is a solid performer without hitting the high notes of some of its rivals like the OnePlus 3. Its price needs to be slashed in order for it to be competitive.

Digital Trends | Kyle Wiggers

Huawei's Honor 8 is the definition of a 'flagship killer' and a steal at it's price tag... Its design, while tasteful, is arguably derivative. Huawei's software is overdue for a bit of refinement, too.... If you're after an incredible camera, impeccable fingerprint sensor, bonuses like an IR emitter, and an outstanding level of polish, the Honor 8's a steal at its price point.

Trusted Reviews | Richard Easton

The Honor 8 is a good all-round mid-range smartphone that looks good and performs well – but it doesn't particularly excel in any areas... It does have the edge in all areas but the camera. While the EMUI skin continues to grate, the Honor 8 is a good all-round phone for its price.
