Honor 8 - User Reviews

  • lol, i know i also use extreme power saving, but i don't standby drains this phone much faster than same other phones(with 3000 mah) also overnight drain is also faster than expected...maybe it's something with the battery stamina, radio cell or os optimization...that's why i'm planning to update to oreo in hope for better os optimization

  • okay? r u serious? cuz i'm rlly in rush to update to oreo(i'm nougat) in hope that battery life could be better, and those cool oreo feature...but if u sayin tru, then i'm cool with 7.0 cuz i don want the batter to get worse even tough i'm still not satisfied

  • So your only reason for phone change is because It does not have security updates? Are you working for CIA or something?

  • Hello guys, has anyone experience with some really good ROM? Let me know pls, thx

  • And if you need to replace broken screen than you have another circus to find quality screen, OEM badge is usually not guarantee. Screen brightnes, colour reproduction and viewing angles are noticeable worst. And half of screens on ebay even do not have all required sensor windows, usually they are missing ambient sensor window so you end with non 100% functional phone. Lame for Honor, or better call it Horror.

  • I see lot's of users are complaining because they are still didn't update to 8.0 . I personally regreted my update to 8.0, I only got stupid pull down menu with search bar that I newer use and usually activate it by accident when I need normal pull down menu with switches, and batttery life reduced by 30% and never got better. Phone usability degraded with 8.0, that's my opinion.

  • Bought this when it just came out in 2016. The first 3 months the phone performed flawlessly, but after that the battery life went downhill VERY quickly. Got it replaced under warranty, but that didnt really solve the problem. I contacted huawei support, and their explanation wasnt really an explanation but a very vague "depends on the conditions it was used in". Its now to the point where im charging the device up to 3 times per day. Its not worth it anymore. Other minor things would be weak bluetooth, paint pealing on the alu trim and its a PITA to connect it to a PC. The dual cameras are a nice touch. Infrared port is a unique feature these days, i really enjoyed the fun of being able to turn off other peoples televisions. On very few occasions did the phone freeze or become unresponsive. I'd say this is the most realiable piece of tech i've had. For reference mine is a FRD-L09. Would i recommend it? Maybe. No clue how many of these were affected by the battery issue, mine was a early model so maybe they did a revision at some time. Would i buy another huawei? I got this one because its just looks amazing with that glass on the back. Too bad its all smashed up now. The newer ones dont really stand out like this one did back when it was new. Oh and for 300€ it was top tier value.

  • You are absolutely right. I will do the same

  • for me and after more than 5 years with (hyawei / honor) i'll not buy any phone from them, my next phone maybe from (apple / samsung / xiaomi / nokia) because these company respect the users and give them 3 years at least of update.

  • Had a nice run with this with phone. The firmware has not received any security updates for a year (i am on Android 8), although the specs and camera still satisfy me, so I have to get a replacement phone. I can only recommend others to purchase phones with long-term software support (e.g., Google, Oneplus) or support for custom ROMs with an active development community (since Huawei/Honor are closed-source kernels, custom ROM development has never been good for these brands). As smartphone technology is reaching a plateau (all midrange phones nowadays have strong internals, nobody needs 8 GB RAM), customers will not need a new phone every 2 years. But Huawei and other companies still use this model (planned obsolence), so stay away from them.

  • sorry not pie, nougat (andriod 7).

  • In Pakistan still 7 is working

  • for me my honor 8 still in andriod 7 (pie) and nothing new about oreo!!!

  • Honor 8 has already received oreo ...ive been using it with oreo since last year .

  • I cannot see this honor 8 can be upgrade to Emui 8 and Android Oreo.

  • nothing new!!!

  • i dont understand what you mean......sorry......!!!!!!!!

  • first clear data your hicare app and then click check update option

  • to sima.......Bactery not bad you must put must time de wi-fi and the put localization torn off as well ........put it in ultrasave batery an tur it on just when you need. NEVER LEAVE ALL NIGHT CHARGEING BUT LITE CARGES ----

  • Phone is great, specially permformance, build quality and screen size, all perfect, but battery! I didn't expect such a drain from this phone, just the battery no other thing to regeret

  • Great phone.

  • update to android oreo in portugal.......when..????????? are you sleeping or joking....''''?????????? no more honor or huawei

  • Great phone but it really was not given its due respect by Huawei, no Oreo or Pie update for FRD-L04 at all, even though its more than capable. Like I said, its a great phone, especially the size, but battery could be nicer and Android update could have improved the battery life as well. I think if I get another Huawei phone, the Nova series are fantastic.

  • I Try Many Times to Updated via HiSuite but nothing new!

  • @Jack79Sparrow update oreo via pc HiSuite

  • my device still on version andriod 7.0 (C185) and they told me we "waiting until the oreo update arrive to middle east" even this year the andriod pie is the newest update from google!

  • I am from Romania and I just talked to a Huawei rep. She told me that version 8.0.0.521(C432) has recently been released for this country / this part of the globe, and will come soon to my device as well. Maybe this will help some people...

  • why Honor 8 charging is very slow ?

  • The Honor 8 is abandoned by Huawei. Google the Honor 8 (device code: FRD) Firmware Finder to see what firmware updates are on their servers for it. The last one is from March for China. China always got updates first, then Asia/Europe, then, sometimes North America/Australia. The customer service people won't know what's going on with development in any country. If you've worked in customer service you're familiar with having to deal with customers while having no special information and not being told anything by the company.

  • I Contact to UAE Hi care & they told me it's you have to waiting until the andriod oreo update arrive to middle east even some countries have andriod pie! so how can I get the oreo update & which hi care (country) should I text to help me? help me, please!

  • I connected on hi care 10 days back and today I got Oreo update

  • You need to request the Huawei team from the Hi Care app on your phone. Use the chat feature on that app, they would ask you some key information for your device, such as build number, IMEI, serial number, name address etc. and then release the update for your device.

  • if you want the latest update then: 1. go to settings, find updates and force download latest complete update package, this will reinstall Android 7.0 2. after it's done connect the phone to your computer and check for latest update using HiSuite and it will find the Android 8.0 update we managed to update 2 Honor 8 phones like this, so I hope it will help you :)

  • Same here situation m also using honor 8 os 7.0 still waiting for oreo 8.0

  • "I have an honour 8 device(FRD L19). Currently I'm using Android 7.0. I want to know whether there are any update for Android 8.0? Also, does navigation gastures support for the honour 8 when it is updated to Android 8.0?" Yes, but only with PC and official Huawei program (HISuite).

  • I have an honour 8 device(FRD L19). Currently I'm using Android 7.0. I want to know whether there are any update for Android 8.0? Also, does navigation gastures support for the honour 8 when it is updated to Android 8.0?

  • Strange situation i have same phone and it is not updating to Android 8 even using HiSuite.

  • FRD-L09 too: connect phone to PC, run HiSuite, on main screen tap "System update"; Then You have 8.0. Tapping 'update' directly on phone doing nothing / saying that 7.0 is the newest version.

  • You need to do a security update of android 7, there is a choice in the update meny that says "get the latest full package", choose that and the download will begin OTA and upgrade. Once you've done that, connect the phone to your computer using HiSuite and the system will recognize that android Oreo is available, start the download an upgrade, good luck :).. //John

  • No it doesn't support it

  • My Honor 8 ,model: FRD-L09. 32 GB rom ,4GB ram. Build Number: FRD-L09C185B403. But , always Android Version7.0 , EMUI 5.0.4. Why is not i upgrading ? Android version 8.0 Oreo ,EMUI 8. Plzzz help me ..... My need new version os 8.0 Oreo and EMUI 8.0 . PLZZZ

  • Switched from iPhone 7 to an Honor 8 (had one laying around), did an security update for EMUI 7, and after that update i got the option to update to EMUI 8 through HiSuite. Really snappy device with the new OS, made a huge difference in every aspect. Im new to Huawei and Honor, and i must say i really like the eco-system, reminds me alot of ios but is android, awsome!

  • Its common to all manufacturers, not only Honor. Some other release updates even shorter.

  • If you get stuck with with comment that your software is up to date there is a setting in system update that says "get the latest full package". If you try that the phone should probably start downloading rev. 412 OTA. (I had this problem myself and was stuck on rev .405) Once you uppgraded the Androind 7 to this level, connect the phone directly to your computer and HiSuite will sence that there is an uppgrade to Android 8 Oreo. Download and upgrade :)..

  • They should be joking, what kind of hardware are they selling if the upgrade to this equipment is not ready on Nov. 22, 2018 oreo update on other brands without this great hardware come now in their obligation ......... I'm very sad ... what kind of smartphone is this? Please sameone Help me to report this to the international HUAWEI ...... Please, Plese ... The solution is Upgrade via OTA and did not see HISUITE ..... OK. !!!!!!! version FRD-L09C432B406....NO OTA AND NO HISUITE.

  • I tried several times and nothing about, the software is actualized and dont let install the oreo.....i kuit and nothing more.......no more .......thanks Huawei from Portugal, no more HONOR divices, no more Honor ....no more Honor for all my friends and family.....!!!!!

  • im not quite sure what you are trying to say. Android 8 Oreo is available for the Honor 8, just not OTA. Download the official Huawei Program called HiSuite, connect your phone to your PC and you will be able to update your phone.

  • Is it support Volte?

  • They should be kidding, what kind of hardware are they selling if upgrading to this equipment is not ready on November 22 2018 oreo update on other brands without this great hardware come now on their obligation ......... I am very sad ... what kind of smartphone is this? Please sameone Help me to report this to the international HUAWEI ...... Please, Plese ... The solution is Upgrade via OTA and did not see HISUITE ..... OK. !!!!!!!

  • Please explain... in brief

  • Not truth. A5 is only better in water resistance aspect :-)

  • A5 is better in every aspect and it's water resistant! Honor 8 wins only in ram 4GB vs 3GB..

  • Galaxy A5 (2017) or Honor 8. Which one is better, specially in terms of camera and hardware?

  • Face unlock with Oreo

  • After providing all the requested information to HiHonorIndia on 22-Nov via twitter chat and following up constantly, finally I have got Oreo update today. Before Oreo update, what I have observed that there was an update available for Backup application in playstore. As soon as I updated that app in playstore and then attempted for system update via settings, I have found Oreo update available. The update went very smoothly and didn't observed any issues post update. Overall smoothness has been moderately increased and heating while charging has been reduced after Oreo update .

  • Try to chat with Huawei support over messenger. They might be able to help you. You definitely should get an update every month. Mine received latest update in October. According to FF Oreo is available too but it is not showing up in the system update settings yet. Huawei support was very helpful when I had similar issue with my P10 which turned out to be branded one and that carrier was delaying updates, not Huawei.

  • @Rs Direct from the hihonor.com/uk website.

  • Where did you buy your phone?

  • They must be joking, what kind of hardware are they selling if de update for this equipment is not ready on 22 of novembre 2018 oreo update on others marks without this great harware come now on must of them.........i`m very very sad.....what kind of smartphone is this.? Please sameone Help me to report this to HUAWEI international......Please Plese...The solution is Upgrade via OTA and not via HISUITE.....OK.!!!!!!!

  • Honor 8 is good except battery performance low quality...

  • I have honor 8(indian version) and its rooted and i am on nougat with TWRP recovery...can any one tell how can i upgrade the OS to OREO??

  • they must be joking, what kind of hardware are they selling if de update for this equipment is not ready on 22 of novembre 2018 oreo update on others marks without this great harware come now on must of them.........iì`m very very sad.....look to xiaomi for instance they just want to sell.......they just want to sell thats not correct......................///////////////////­/

  • @Rs This the official reply I received from Honor when I asked about updates for the UK.. Sorry to hear that. We would like to inform you that the latest update version of Honor 8 is Android 7.0 EMUI 5.0. Further, kindly stay tuned on our official pages to know more about upcoming updates. Thanks!

  • @Rs After reading your post I dug my H8 out of the drawer where I threw it in disgust months ago and checked it any updates. It still shows UK version on Android 7.0 and security level 5 August 2017. Time to put this piece of junk on a popular auction site and get rid of it.

  • via hisuite; in Romania, model L09C432B407

  • How to honor 8 oreo update.

  • yes; nothing extraordinary

  • honor 8 or p9 plus

  • Anyone update oreo?

  • Thank you very much

  • This phone is simply a monster phone . It works pretty efficient and lag free . Battery timing is so good that it could stand for a day on normal usage . You're battery is dead , go to honor franchise and get your battery replaced there.....!!

  • Hi, A couple of days ago a bought a second hand Honor 8. It's in pristine conditions except for the battery. It discharges without warning. Earlier today, I took 6 photos. Battery was at 98% when I started taking the photos the after taking the 6th photo, the phone switched itself off without any warning. Battery was dead. I've tried factory reset but that hasn't changed anything. Is the battery dead or is there anything else I could try. Would much appreciate any advice you nice people could give me. Many thanks

  • yes, its no problem

  • Hi Does anyone know if its safe to use a 5v charger with the phone instead of the 9v quick charger that comes with the phone when purchased new?

  • I installed oreo with hurupdater and it was very easy to do. It works fine so far.

  • Go to service center and tell him update software buz you have dubai software in your mobile. Format it and install indian firmware. Tell him simply that update my software.

  • Try Airtel it should work. Jio's frequency band is 2300 Hz which this phone doesn't support.

  • I also have the July 2018 security update.

  • i think u r wrong......mine in latest secury patch july 2018.......

  • I bought my honor 8 ph from dubai. And it doesnot support volte. Iam a jio user. What cai i do??

  • Anyone know if it will receive Oreo update ? If it won't get Update, to upgrade my mobile

  • Just got the July security patch this morning. NICE!

  • I got this phone from BestBuy almost 2 yrs ago on sale. It works great, love the camera features and quality. I also love the IR blaster in it so I can control TVs, DVD-Blue players, surround sound system etc. The Kirin 950 chipset is much better than expected. CPU is fast and snappy for most apps, however the GPU is the weaker spot here... but you can still play many games on medium-high settings just not all of them. Plenty of RAM and I could add a SD card for more space easily. I can run chrome with 50+ tabs no problem! I also got a transparent case, the phone looks very nice but the class cover can get scratched easily. Overall good phone, worth the money I got it for.

  • Don't buy p smart, it has a serious overheating issue. I managed to get it to 60°C in 5 minutes. That is how bad it is.

  • I got FRD-L09 and my gyroscope has big problems. Image goes nuts when i try to see 360 videos. Anyone else experiencing these symptoms?

  • Honor 8

  • A5 2017 or Huawei honor 8 ? witch one have better camera?

  • This phone or P smart ? need to know about camera and display? thx

  • This phone or P smart? for camera and display im asking

  • I have heard that this might be an EMUI 5.x bug. Have you tried switching launchers away from the decision to something like Nova to see if this helps at all?

  • Did you Get the solution?

  • @Olle Sorry to hear that your problem still persists. I now use a Oneplus 5T. As soon as I connected it to WiFi it downloaded Android v8.1.0 and the May 2018 security level update. The phone itself is a real powerhouse and I can't see myself changing it for along time yet. It's just a shame that Huawei have such a poor record on updating their phones.

  • I discovered that I still have the problem with the screen dimming. The auto brightness actually seems to work as it should (when box is checked). It dims down the screen when the surrounding light is low and stays high when when under light conditions. When the box is unchecked it dims down under all light conditions. So I am still stuck with it. I can't choose the brightness I want manually. By the way, what phone do you use now when you have stopped using the Honor 8?

  • @Olle You are correct about the description of the slider bar, I was recalling from memory. I still own a H8 but never use it anymore. I don't use it because it is still stuck on Android v7.0 and a security patch level dated 5 August 2017 - 10 months out of date! I decided that I would never purchase another Huawei phone and I never have.

  • I am very familiar with the brightness bar, as I have continually been turning the brightness up, but now I dicovered something odd. It seems that my brightness bar looks different to your description. I have a box to the right of the bar which says auto. When I check the box I have assumed that auto is turned on, but now I see it seems to be the other way round! I have wanted to turn off auto brightness so I have had the box unchecked. Now I see that when I check the auto box, auto brightness is turned off instead of on, and so far it has worked fine. No dimming! But how logical is this? To me checking a box is to activate something and unchecking is to say "I don't want it", in this case automatic adjustment of brightness. Well anyway, I hope the problem is solved now...

  • @Olle Pull the notification bar down on any screen and you will see a Brightness slider bar. If the icon (the one marked A) is illuminated then tap it to turn auto brightness OFF.

  • No, I can't see that there is any setting that account for this.

  • @Olle Do you have 'auto brightness' enabled? If so, turn it off and see if that makes any difference.

  • Don't use crome. Use UC browser it's so so much faster than crome.

  • I tried the Samsung Internet browser now and it dimmed down in the se manner, so it is probably not the browser but something with the phone, either the software or the hardware.

  • @Olle I don't have any problems with Samsung Internet Browser. Available to download from Google Play Store.

  • Mine doesn't do anything like that with any apps or web browsers. If you can still exchange your unit I would do that. Otherwise try a factory reset maybe?

  • I have tried Firefox and it does the same thing. Is there any web browser that doesn't do this?

  • @Olle This is a well known problem with Chrome and has been documented numerous times. It doesn't affect just Honor phones, a lot of other makes suffer with the same problem.

  • Does it support vodafone 4g?

  • When my Nexus 5x broke down I bought an Honor 8. A good phone but I have one major problem. The screen's brightness dims down every time I start Chrome and even on other occasions. This is very irritating as I find the screen to dark when it does this. Auto brightness is turned off and I have no battery settings that could cause this. Googling this issue I have found that this is an issue for some Honor 8 owners and as yet I can not see that there is any clear understanding or solution of this problem. Anyone here who knows what the problem is? Software or hardware? Any solution?

  • certainly honor 8 in performance and p smart in update support

  • Honor 8

  • Where in Navi Mumbai, it is available offline??

  • Anyone having similar problem as well? Apart from that any other issue with this phone? Thanks ya

  • honor 8 lite bad experinece with me most of one problem is hanging camera not work properly

  • The phone is good and great buy for the price of Rs.13k or so. JUST ONE WARNING:- DO NOT update to Android 7.0 as there is a problem of notifications not muting when one is on a phone call which was fixed by Google in 7.1. UNFORTUNATELY, Honor is no longer supporting OS updates and therefore I personally am stuck with this issue. Honor doesn't allow rollback to earlier OS either. SUCH PATHETIC IDIOTS! See entire thread with them:-

  • do I get a honor 8 or p-smart? help Idont what to do ???

  • Why does honor 8 lite get oreo update,but honor 8 won't get it?Where the logic can anyone explain me??? Shame huawei shaaaaaame

  • It supports jio volte but not airtel volte. Only honor 10 support airtel volte

  • yes

  • Does it support VOLTE?

  • If you are truly android lover, you love to customize your phone and need a phone that takes great still images go for honor 8 otherwise iphone 6s is another better option. (just don't update to ios11)

  • Think of it as a gentle nudge! ☺️ I don't think there is any way to change it unfortunately.

  • My phone doesn’t reflects keyboard instead there is only voice keyboard , can anybody please help me to resolve this issue! I have factory my device to many times in hope of getting back my phone keyboard. Please help

  • Unfortunately. No

  • Question, Honor 8, Android 7.0, EMUI 5.0.1 . When person that I call answers, I get small vibration as confirmation that line from that moment is established. This is very nice feature which I used on many phones, starting from Nokia X6, and later through several android devices which I usually had to root to get such functionality. On Honor 8 this works by default, excellent. Except that this vibration is very short and not so strong, is there a possibility to increase vibration time?

  • Just clean the holes of speaker, I have suffered from this since 1 year. Everything is great

  • My honor 8 speaker sound is very low, how can I improve its sound. Someone pls suggest me. Thanks.

  • Im going to buy this phone when oreo will be realised :).

  • Help! My honor 8 can't turn on the Bluetooth and WiFi

  • Bro, I have yet to see a smartPhone that's not made in China.

  • versions: frd-l19 (europe, global); frd-l14 (usa); frd-l04 (usa, canada); frd-al00 (hong kong, china, usa); frd-tl00 (china); frd-al10 (china)

  • Check the model number and verify it with the number in spec section of GSM arena

  • how do i know if its China or India or Europe made??

  • When I saw this earlier I felt true joy inside. Strange to say about a phone OS update but that is the Android world we live in now I guess.

  • good news honor 8 users.... Huawei-P9-Honor-8-and-Honor-6X-now-receiving-Ore­o-beta-updates.302166.0.html

  • You better check your updates. I'm on the April Security Update here. Factory unlocked.

  • What you mean, it's working fine in 2018

  • Forgot to mention that I'm on April update and I've been getting regular monthly updates since January when I bought it

  • I get regular monthly updates on my Honor 8. I even got two updates within two weeks last month :) It is factory unlocked model too

  • Anything but Honor. Released in July 2016, 2 years of continuous updates, stuck with August 2017 patch on factory unlocked model. Beta Oreo barely started for chinese models. This brand is a joke.

  • Honor 8 or iPhone 6s?

  • Good news Honor 8 will get oreo update soon. Search honor 8 oreo x developer. You find good news.

  • Looks like the April security update has dropped in North America. Impressive. Huawei is making a good showing of itself

  • when will emui 8.0 be release in honor 8?

  • Another security update has arrived in less then weeks! I'm impressed!

  • Can anybody tell me if the honor 8 support OTG

  • You could plug it into your computer and use the Huawei HiSuite software to recover it.

  • HELP??!! Ive mamaged to lock my honor 8? FRD-L09 and when i restart i only get 3 options-1- download latest version and recovery 2-reboot 3-shutdown!! I dont get the "system recovery or factory reset! why? can somone please help me?

  • That would be great... But with the way things are going in the US for Huawei right now I wonder if it will still get updated in that region. Will Huawei abandon their US customers or will they stick with them?

  • Don't have this problem following the March security update

  • I've got no issues

  • Anyone has a low volume of calling after Security Update on March? Hardly I could here my contact's voice 😑

  • I found online that oreo will be available for Honor 8 in May :)

  • Anonymous, I'm currently at the March 1st, 2018 security level. Might want to check for updates on your phone.

  • Me too :)

  • I've just got a new update b403. It seems to be only security update 1 March

  • Honor 8 best in camera , games , and ram or not the golden colour is beautiful or not ???

  • So, after two years of faithful service I switched from Galaxy S6 to Honor 8. I was stoked because it looks really good and it seemed smooth and has a much better camera. It does look good, the camera is really good, but it is not smooth. - The back-mounted button / fingerprint reader is pretty much useless. You have an option to customize what the button does but the options are very limited. The buttons placement is pretty stupid as well. - The power and volume buttons are placed on the right side, which is annoying for me that holds the phone in my left hand and can't quite reach the buttons with a normal grip. I'm right handed and typing is a lot easier with my right. - The touch isn't as responsive as the S6. Many times when you scroll and tap it doesn't stop right away. Mounted a tempered glass and the touch is even less responsive now. It does have some good things though. Very nice battery management functions, and battery life. The S6 was horrible in this respect. The Honor 8 is faster and looks better. Much better camera, as stated. But I do miss the easy to use interface of the S6.

  • No worries. It seems we are just two different breeds of "advanced" users :-)

  • If you can't see or not familiar with differences between v7 and v8 android software as advanced user than we have nothing to discuss here.

  • How does v8 software relates to "advanced user" ? I'd call myself an advanced user and Honor 8 gives me much more power and memory then any Samsung in this price range would. From my pov v7 or v8 software version is of secondary importance

  • nice

  • Honor 8 is good phone at his market value and seems like good choice but be aware that software is v7 and never gonna be v8 because of "processor is too low for new version". All in all, good phone but for advanced Android users that is big NO! This is my 3rd Huawei phone and last one because this is my 3rd that actually can be upgraded but Huawei doesnt want to do that. If there is anyone who believe them that this phone cant run Oreo, there are v8 for Honor8 that is custom made and works fine.

  • My Honor 8 got February security update about three weeks ago and this was my third update within the last two months :-)

  • @Predrage93 Huawei have an appalling record when it comes to updating their phones so I doubt it. I have a Honor 8 and a Honor 8 PRO. Both phones are still stuck on Android 7; neither of them ever got v7.1.1 or even v7.1. The Honor 8 is stuck with security level dated Aug 2017 and the Honor 8 PRO is even worse as the security level is July 2017. I wouldn't recommend Huawei phones to anyone.

  • Is there gonna be oreo update for this phone?

  • Yes

  • does this camera have EIS ?

  • The story with those SAR values is similar to car fuel consumption figures. many cars that are worse on paper actually are better in real life. SAR do not reflect real life usage, only one fixed scenario. Even if some other mobiles score lower at this laboratory tests, the way someone uses its phone can amplify or lower this value even more

  • Now I have Honor 8 . In my experience performance and features are good. But in this phone have a big negative factor SAR value is around the regulatory limit. im suggesting it's not good to long use

  • honor 8 or honor 9 lite?

  • Blue 😀

  • Hi. which colour do you recommend, black or blue, thanks

  • love this phone

  • Honor 8 no doubt ;)

  • Honor 8 or mate 10 lite

  • j5 is nothing infront of honor 8

  • this phone or samsung j5 pro plz help me

  • This one off course ;) I personally will pass any phone that has sharp corners that hurt my palm after using it for 15min or more

  • This phone or xperia x,pls help...

  • Thank you very much for your reply.

  • Honor 8 is a better phone in every aspect and it currently retails for the same price as p10 lite. 09 has 32GB 19 comes with 64GB

  • I am between P10 lite and Honor 8, which one do you suggest? Also, the Hono 8 I found is the FRD-L09 version. Do you think there is a difference compared to FRD-L19? Thanks.

  • What is model code of this device in India, FRD - ? Is it the same on the box as on the phone or rebranded? Thanks

  • I did it's just security update 150 mb I think :)

  • Has anyone got OTA update frd-l09c432b402? I received a notification about this update today.

  • I've picked Honor 8 about a month ago and I'm very happy with my decision. I really like its dual camera setup with monochrome sensor. My small compact canon camera is redundant since I got Honor 8

  • Honor 8 or honor 7x? Which is a better option?

  • Oreo shall arrive for Honor 8

  • On the lock screen swipe up from the bottom. One of the icons is gout torch. The second option is to check in notification bar at the top, there should be in second out third row. The third option is to search on home screen for torch app. I hope this helps :)

  • To use the touch you should have a app icon on in your app draw. Also you can assign the touch into your Smart assistance, Smart key option and save the settings. Plus you have the drop down menu in the notifications panel and you can get to the touch.. Good luck try reading the manual for the device..

  • Hi, I.also bought honor 8, 32GBP, 4gb ram. Could not find shortcut or app for using torch function. Can anyone please help?

  • I received my Honor 8 last week. It's much, much better then I expected.I'm very happy with my purchase. I like almost every aspect of this phone: camera and its app, no app drawer option, smoothness of operation, screen, customisation, even knuckle gestures etc. Even today its a lot phone for the money. The latest update has newer security patch then my Samsung from the same year. I'm really surprised by the quality of its LCD screen. It its simply better then OLED or AMOLED screens in my other phones. Eventhough it has the lowest sunlight visibility score of them all, in real life comparison its the best one!

  • sure, it's a monster phone :)

  • no, you go for htc U11... thanks

  • It have volte or not

  • Use firmware finder

  • No that was about honor 8 and honor France has continuously said this "One doesn't go without the other, you will have Oreo" in two replies to two persons, that's not the faulty reply.

  • Excelent phone. Simply best than Samsung and Iphone comparing prices. 2 years of use, and is still on the top!

  • Well, it's just a translation from French into English which goes like: one goes not with the other, Oreo comes with emui 8 Could be either a faulty translation or honor France thought the guy who asked the question was referring to the honor 8 pro.

  • @Yosef Honor France have announced that Oreo will arrive in April 2018.

  • anyone got EMUI 8 update???

  • Check on amazon.co.uk or amazon.de. They still should be in stock, however the stock is gone from time to time from my obervation. Mine should be in in two days.

  • I think huawei honor 8 blue 32mb out of stock right now(maybe).. because I order and it take about 2 month to get. Why I say it out of stock because huawei want to promote honor 8 pro and huawei 9 first.. it just my thoughts and I search everywhere its hard to get right now.. (its just my thought) thanks for support honor 8 like me

  • This phone will not get Oreo, no point to buy it. Sad

  • Same problem bro downgrade it

  • Yes if it gets Oreo Update

  • I think so. I've ordered one myself few days ago. Blue one. Still waiting for delivery. It should arive next weekk

  • Is it still worth it in 2018.. Please reply

  • I am on FRD-L19C432B398 firmware and have gyroscope problem, VR not works, image spins like crazy. Anyone got same problem like me?

  • I dont think so.

  • Oreo Update for Honor 8 announced. Check this.

  • Today Oreo update has been announced for Honor 8 after the users has started a petition for Oreo update at change.org Congrats to everyone. Check it.

  • How to switch dual sim in honor 8 plz help me...

  • Fell in love with Honor 6. Updated to Honor 8. Recommended it to my friend. Then they say no Oreo update. This is my last Honor. Bye bye Honor welcome Nokia.

  • Im going to sell my honor8 . No update .no honor . For ever .

  • I am using honor 8 FRD-L19 for last one year but till no I didn't get any update I am stuck in 6.0

  • Yesterday arrived a new update, the update pished prefornances of phone and now is a blazing fast, but i hope that phone would get oreo since they promissed a two years of updates

  • How is even possible that the Honor 8 lite will get Oreo update and Honor 8, which one is better in every aspect than the Lite version, will not get Oreo update?? * Logic

  • not the Honor 8, it is near the end of it's official update support, looks like it won't get oreo. The 7X is newer but the 8 has more features (but older).

  • yo mates what do you suggest Honor 7X or Honor 8 ?

  • No, honor 8 wont get the oreo update. Just google it. They already mention in their official twitter. It's said due the limitations of the hardware (although i believe the hardware is just fine)

  • im here to kill your hope for o

  • honor didn't announce the honor 8 yet. I think they might update but we need to wait a little longer since we got nougat in feb 2017. probably feb or later. I don't mind waiting as long as I know honor 8 WILL get android O.

  • No Oreo or EMUI 8 update for this device. Pathetic...

  • Honor 8 cause it have usb c

  • Honor 8 or S7 Edge? - opinions for long term use and performance

  • Mine honor 8 fast charge not working, btw i am using original huawei quick charger, any solutions?

  • I have had both phones and its actually verry simillar so its your choice.

  • Honor 8 or P9 pls help?

  • Hi guys, i have this honor 8 why does this phone not support sandisk ultra dual drive flash, also i had huawei P9 it works on it well, any reasons?

  • My only Problem on my Phone here is The FIT Screen guard and my updates on OS still not coming. but the rest till now been using for 1year is Good. running smooth

  • Honor 8 or Moto Z?

  • do you guys have Hicloud in your Honor8 i dont have mine.. 😖

  • Although I am currently waiting for delivery of a new Mate 9 Pro I will tell you that I absolutely LOVE this phone. I've had the blue version with 64gb memory for about 6 months. It came with the Nougat update already installed but I am sitting here waiting for the Oreo update which should be coming shortly. This thing has been everything I need in a phone and then some. Although I don't do any gaming on it (for now) I am quite sure the blazing speed on it would work great. I read about the fast charging time of the Mate 9 Pro and I can't help but wonder how much faster it will be then this thing. I let it get down to 25 percent. In 30 minutes it was up to 75 percent and in one hour it was at 92 percent. How much faster can anyone want. In addition, a full charge easily lasts an entire day. I generally am down to maybe 40 percent at night. Of course, heavy gaming or web browsing will affect this as well. This is my second Huawei, the first being the Honor 6X which was a leap of faith. Won't be going to any other brand from now on. You may ask why, if I live this phone so much, am I going to the Mate 9 Pro. Simple answer. I love getting newer and better stuff. If you are at all looking for a really great phone at a great price point, I really suggest the Honor 8 or 8 Pro. Great graphics, sound quality second to none and excellent camera. I guess if I absolutely HAD to specify a downside, it would be the all glass construction. Yes it makes it gorgeous to look at and hold, but the back glass especially is somewhat of a fingerprint magnet. That was one of the reasons why I decided to buy the Mate 9 Pro with it's all aluminum body. However, small price to pay for such a wonderful device.

  • No Worries. Once u got the OTA, updates is smooth sailing. Battery life is still good and a noticeable faster speed after nougat. Only downside i notice so far (just recently updated) is we lose the elegant dial control in photo pro mode which i love. Its a great phone really...so log u dont drop it. Cheers

  • Dear, the size of update is about 2.2 GB. So I suggest u must Reset ur phone if u want to update it to latest firmware, i.e, Android 7.0 (Nougat)and EMUI 5.0.1. Believe me u'll start loving ur phone after this update.

  • if same price, then HTC 10.

  • htc 10 or honor 8 ?? reasons ??

  • Yes this phone is very good for heavy game..rather you can say its processor is very fast no lags during games.. but issue with battery drain very fast during heavy games and heats up

  • In Oreo update you will be able to hide navigation bar

  • Ofc bro. You need about 40% or more battery life and more than 2gb of free storage. Than try again.

  • i like the specs but the on screen navigation lost my interest i still prefer to have hard home/back buttons

  • Congrats, Today honor 8 has been confirmed for Android Oreo 8.0 update ☺️

  • Honor 8 of course! Last year's flagship! Perfect photos and fast processor. Go for it!

  • Well, remove some things and update your phone!

  • hey pro only single sim model is available in india the second slot wont work

  • honor 8 or p10 lite?

  • I have this for 1 Year no problem except for Update, im still stuck on 6.0 are the storage of phone affect that i cant update my phone? internal storage left is 1GB and external is 800mb

  • I was able to update from Android 6 to 7.

  • Mine has EMUI 5.0.1 and Android 7, Security patch is Oct 2017

  • Can someone tell me if this phone is good for heavy games?

  • Is this phone is dual sim? I have insert Jio card in 1st slot and Vodafone in second slot. But it never recognized the sim inserted in 2nd slot. Also dual sim option is not showing in settings. Pls help. Rgds...

  • Front camera is good enough. Don't write stupid comments you selfie maniac? :-)

  • Why is that a problem? Phone is working perfectly on Nougat. No problems at all. Is Oreo really such a big deal? I personally think that we will get next android version. But it's better to wait a little bit more and run a perfectly optimised system than something that is not finished well.

  • I'm planning to buy this phone too , but i hear a lots of software update problems , some of users are saying that the phone is not upgrading to EMUI 5.0 and Android Nougat , do you have this problem? Thanks .

  • Everything is best except front camera v upset from.this...

  • you need to tap on the 3 dots at the top right in system update then tap download latest full package. you show have android nougat update.

  • Install it from another source, if Google play store is not working

  • Unable to install hotstar application, I dont know whay it shows your device isn't compatible with this application.

  • Sleep, in your dream it will get update automatically :)

  • Android oreo update when will comes to this phone.?

  • Today I have purchased this mobile but it is not upgradable and running on Android 6 with ui4.0 It is also not supporting coupled application. It shows message like your phone version does not support this app.

  • I'm not satisfied with this phone. Audio on headphones is not the best due to lack of DAC chip. Sound is cracking or popping (call it whatever you want it) while I'm recording video, what's with that?

  • Honor 8. The LG G5 boot loops

  • honor 8 or lg g5??

  • I've had this phone for almost a year now. The phone is NOT prone to damage, my phone has yet to crack. I've dropped it a couple of times and it's still good. Though I keep it in a clear TPU case with a protective screen shield. The camera is excellent. it can actually compete with the samsung and LG flagship phones in picture quality. It also has a dual camera for bokeh effect. no lagging at all. I don't know what volte is. I like the 5'2 screen as it fits in my hand perfectly, not too small, not too big. Also since it is 1080p you actually don't want too big of a screen or the pixels become noticable. It's still larger than the iphone 8 to compare. 5'2 is just right. Yes honor 8 is better than honor 6x. The honor 8 has more video filming modes and honor 8 has dual LED flash which the 6x does not have.

  • With that chipset ( last year's flagship chip) it should be able to perform heavy tasks and even gaming. Asphalt 8 should run smoothly

  • Is this phone is good for gaming? Like when u play high graphic games like asphalt 8, arena of valor and mortal kombat x it doesn't lag? And does it have any heat issue? Need help.

  • The lumens aren't up to what i would expect for a phone of 2016 considering samsungs bright display gives you a clear picture on a bright day. But for its price range it is a useable display anyday

  • Yes it's definitely worth it to switch for the battery alone. One single charge lasts all day.

  • I currently have a Samsung s6 edge and I was wondering is it worth upgrading to this phone honor 8 coz i need more battery life.

  • Specifications are almost same for both. If you want bigger screen, go for 10 Lite. If you want smaller screen with high density, go for 8. I use Honor 8. Pros: Rear cam Front cam CPU, no heating issue. Battery. Display. Battery Management -Auto process killing. Reboot fast Cons: Both front and back glass are not scratch resistance. No water proof. But its dust resistant.

  • Just bought this phone. Absolutely amazing. Camera is outstanding. Battery life with power save mode is very good. Beautiful display with extra large screen. Very fast processing.

  • I like honor 8 too much because of its qualitys

  • I like honor 8 too much because of its qualitys

  • Based on experience with previous models, you should be able to program any remotes controls into the phone. Though i am unable to explain how, just google it.

  • at malaysia white and gold colour offer 20% ,if its me i will buy cheap one because same specs,if u hate the colour just put casing lol hahahaha

  • How to add PEL company Air Conditioner remote in smart controller of honor 8, because PEL company is not in the list...

  • Anyone updated b380?

  • The visibility in sunlight is good. Actually i have no other complains, except that the memory in insufficient, you cannot move all apps on SD card and because of that the phone got slower with time(when its full storage).

  • Does it supports Virtual Reality and radio?

  • The is no difference. Blue one is just much prettier then other two and there for maybe little bit more expencive. In my country some phone models (color variants) are sold at different prices just because they are in gold color etc.

  • please someone answer how is visibility of honor 8 display in sunlight?

  • Has anyone tried dual sim+memory Card hack or dual sim adapter in Honor 8 ?

  • will it support 3g or 4g in bhutan?????

  • In amazon. why white and gold varients as 14000 qnd sapphire blue was 18000. I checked both are same. But why this difference. is any strategy there??

  • definitely honor 8.its a wonderful mobile with great display,processor and camera.

  • Honor 8 vs mi A1

  • Look at the top of this page. Do you see a picture of this phone? Do you see the column to the right of the picture? Do you see where it states 32/64Gb storage? There is your answer. Simple, wasn't it.

  • Yes it's

  • hey guys, which one is better, Honor 8 or Mi A1 ?

  • Yes everything is almost perfect, but the new OS will make this device more faster and some new options will be added, like to hide onscreen buttons, video on images, better battery and to change the size of icons

  • What the hell you talking about "All problems will be solved if they release the next OS for Honor 8.. On the whole the Honor 8 (dual sim European model with OS B394 no rooted as mine is, is an excellent device. Now to say the next OS for this device will be perfect is ridiculous.. Only downside is it should of had a micro SD card slot plus the 2 sim card slots for dual sim and memory functions without doing a mod.

  • what about it's battery?

  • Awesome phone. Using since over a year now.

  • I just want to buy this phone.....so anyone have used this phis phone giv me a opinion about this!!!!!

  • As far as I can see, this phone has two bugs (software). First is auto rotation which is not working after some time, you have to reboot your phone. Second is print screen(knock knock). This isn't working too, reboot is required often and then everything is ok.

  • Sorry playstore

  • Friends pls use use firmware finder to download and install the latest software version. My honor 8version is frl 02 Indian model My phone is running on the latest version e mui 5 Nougat 7 latest build FRL02C675B350. It's working fine. Try that from plastered.

  • Is honor 8 available at 64 GB memory space

  • I'm having the same issue. Were you able to fix it?

  • I have an Honor 8 for more than a year and I can confirm it's VERY dual sim...

  • Samsung j7max is better than honor 8 lite But it's not good while comparing with honor 8

  • yes it comes with volte option

  • Yes it is surely equal to recent launched camera

  • Honor 8 has become a nightmare to me. I was prompted to upgrade not knowing that Im destroying my phone that I have barely owned for 3 months.... Now I am stuck not knowing what to do with my handset jus showing a frustrating screen refusing to go

  • Any news about Oreo update? All problems will be solved if Huawei send Oreo update to honor 8,

  • H go for honor 8 spec is good performance good viewing angle good u have finger print mechanism it's amazing but draw back is it's single sim.

  • Any news about Oreo upgrade, anyone???

  • hi bro....bro i wnt to know that as this honor 8 is the smrtsmrtphone released on july and after that many smartphone has been released now my ques is that whether this honor 8 front camera is that similar to present released one...i mean quality plus low light selfies... please help me if u can ... thnq

  • volte or not volte?

  • Ya honor 8 lite not good

  • To stop receiving automatic update, go to phone settings look for System Update and in the right upper part of the page press the 3 dots and close automatic download in the 'update setting' and in 'update overnight'. This will solve the issue of updating your EMUI.

  • it's prone to damage like maybe from a 5 ft fall since it is glass on both sides the camera is ok especially in bright settings but for low light situations, it's not that great. Since the camera doesn't really matter to me anyways, it's a little better than when I had the Nexus 6 it does for me on tmobile it doesn't lag and being that it's last year's model, games don't stutter. They stuttered on my old nexus 6 and it's funny that since the nexus 6 has a bigger battery, my honor 8 outlasts it as I use it as much as I did when I had the nexus 6. I think because it has a smaller screen and less real estate, the battery lasts longer even though it is slightly smaller no, I thought that by downgrading from a 6" screen to a 5.2" screen, it would be too tiny to work with but in fact it's just right plus it easily fits in a pocket when you've also got a large wallet to deal with too. So it's not fumbling around between my wallet and my phone plus I like the fact the honor 8 has a flat body so that it rests flat on a table or other surface. The nexus 6 had sort of a curved body so if you tried texting with the phone on a desk, it would wobble. yes it is better than the honor 6x since the processor is faster on the honor 8. I was looking at both the honor 6x and honor 8 and glad that I settled on the honor 8. I wasn't too fond of the EMUI 5 interface but I ended up downloading the google now launcher so that it looks like stock android like it did with my nexus 6. Otherwise I would've used the Nova launcher. I don't deal with the slippery surface of the glass casing because I picked up a nice rubberized case for it so it easily grips in my hand and on any surface...got a slim one so that it doesn't make it look like a thick brick. Even with the case on it, I can still easily plug in my headphones and I can still hear sounds clearly. The downside to the honor 8 is the mono speaker on the bottom. I'm so used to the dual speakers on the front of the nexus 6 but I'm using the phone less and less for youtube. I only use it for listening to the Iheart radio app

  • IM face also this problem. my device model is FRD-AL00

  • 19th oct 2017 I got the alert to update my EMUI..I then proceeded to update it ,im not sure if something failed during the process ? but now every time my phone restarts or if I shutdown and start it up it goes back to the "download latest version and recovery" screen and it continuously fails "Getting package info failed", when I try to update it aswell as no matter if I reboot or shutdown it returns to that page,any suggestions or fixes for this? Thanks !:-

  • I bought one two moth ago and the phone have a great performance. But I have a VR lenses and the this model have an issue whit this kind of presentation and they don't have any update or fix for that.

  • I got the alert today to update my EMUI..I then proceeded to update it ,im not sure if something failed during the process ? but now every time my phone restarts or if I shutdown and start it up it goes back to the "download latest version and recovery" screen and it continuously fails "Getting package info failed", when I try to update it aswell as no matter if I reboot or shutdown it returns to that page,any suggestions or fixes for this? Thanks !:-

  • Thanks man, not buying this phone, for some dumb reason huawei decides to sell only the single sim variant here, which is a deal breaker for me.

  • which is the best mobile samsung j7 max or honor 8 lite will u suggest me anyone and how is honor 8 lite camera and battery life ?

  • Iz honor honor 8 lite getting heat while playing games ?

  • its volte or not

  • Hi, Any experience using VR (gyroscope) 360 degree. Thanks SKAZ

  • um going india nxt month thn I will buy one for me..only 18k. in bd 30k😂😂

  • its a Glass no matter what, if you are watching jerryRig the he try to drop saphire glass which is the most durable glass than gorilla glass latest screen, it crack in waist height drop. dont expect too much in camera, Very good with enough light but in low light no flash you will see a little grainy in Auto, Volte it depends on variety phone you buy, do some search im lazy which model. 5'2 is good to me he got Quad HD and High Density. same resolution as the other phone you see with big screen like 6'0 Honor 6x vs Honor 8? 1st of all check their processor its already obvious. Honor 6x is in lineup for budget phones Honor 8 phone processor is in line of High end phones. very Worth, Honor 8 is better Camera, Speed, design than the budget phone honor 6 you compared

  • Someone with long usage please reply:- Is this phone prone to damage, like breaking it's glass with one or two fall? How is the camera? Where would it stand in terms of camera quality? Does it support volte? Does it lag? Do you regret going for a 5'2 phone instead of 5'5? Lastly, is it worth it to buy honor 8 over honor 6x paying rs.3000($50) more?

  • basically as you compare those 2 phones the Honor 8 and P series, Honor 8 has the advantage, not only on OTG support, but lots of it. you can see it in your own research. Thank you

  • Hello friends ! I am a bit confussed between honor 8 and p10 lite . Its about android version . P10 lite has nougat and honor 8 has marshmallow and its software is upgradable . If I upgrade its software , does it will support all the features like p10 lite's features ? like knuckel gestures , differet camera modes etc . Please need a guide line about this .

  • Go for it, i just updated to new EMUI 5.0 and Nougat 7.0 just more features and the battery life i don't see any effect on it, might have slightly improved but not noticeable.

  • Very nice looking front and back having gorilla glass 3 plus it's made out of 15layers of glass (6 to 7 for other phone), very slippery might need a phone case otherwise will slip out of your palm easily

  • hi What is your suggestion for a phone in this range?

  • Honor 8

  • it's got gorilla glass 3 on both sides and it is a fingerprint magnet. I picked up a rubberized case for it so I don't have to worry about wiping off m fingerprints on the back plus it makes it easier to hold and not slip out

  • Hi guys Please tell the body of honor 8 of Gorilla Glass . Thanks

  • I would like an answer for that

  • well the honor 8 has 64 gb of onboard memory compared to the p10 lite if you get the non hong kong version. If you've got a lot of devices that use the micro usb style cables, then go with the p10 lite since the honor 8 uses usb type c. The honor 8 also has a faster chipset than the p10 lite and has dual f2.2 cameras compared to just 1 with the p10 lite. But the p10 lite is probably still good.. The honor 8 has gorilla glass 3.0 which is really nice....almost like the samsung s7 and s7 edge...kind of rounded edged screen

  • if you've always liked the samsung brand, go with the s7, but the honor 8 is also very good. It's got more onboard storage place plus supports up to 256 gb micro sd card. Yeah the battery is slightly smaller than the s7 but still the small screen size is perfect for that sized battery...not like with my old nexus 6 with a 6" screen. The kirin 950 chipset is pretty fast, faster than my nexus 6's cpu. The fingerprint unlock is lightning fast. I'm so glad I downgraded to a smaller size since I carried a 6" screen for 3 years. The mono speaker on the bottom is ok...not as good as dual front facing speakers, but for ringtones and notifications, it's decent...it's not going to turn heads The MUI interface takes some getting used to but I ended up just installing the google now launcher so that it looks like my nexus 6 with stock android. I noticed a few new features in the settings compared to my nexus 6 and there's pretty much no slowdown when having multiple apps and games are pretty zippy. I heard that the s7 and s8 phones suffer from burn-in because they have that always-on ambient feature. The honor 8 does not

  • P10 Lite or Honor 8. Cant decide which one to choose to buy. Someone to help me and give me some advice?

  • S7

  • mi a1 vs honor 8 camera ,which is better? in bokeh effect

  • does it has portrait mode ? Is it good for portrait mode ?

  • Whether Honor 8 will get Oreo update

  • the update is probably either a firmware update or an android update which you should do. It'll improve some minor things about the phone as well as security updates

  • For Camera i guess samsung win, for Speed both of them but for long lasting speed huawei got smart UI that the speed can last for long and also for quick charge go to Honor 8 it has type C that s7 dont have.

  • Hello, friends, I have Honor 8 from a week, and now I have software update available, do I haveto accept it or I have to dont? What im going to get better, and what I will loose if I agree with it? The battery live is important for me. The update is FRD-L02C432B380

  • Hi, can anyone tell about the gyro sensor virtual reality (VR) experience?

  • should I go for honor 8 or galaxy s7....

  • Greetings from Malaysia,I've been an Honor 8 user for almost, almost a year now and my phone still rocks...good performance and not too bad battery life? The camera is pretty good though. Only con for this phone is that it doesnt support LTE band 5 (850).

  • Is honor 8 DTS sound is better than Nova 2 plus's Huawei histen 3D doing effect ? using headphones

  • Why it will not get? Every flagship get 2 updates, it is software policy of honor

  • Some are saying honor 8 will get update for Android O 8.0 , is it true ?

  • If you have problem in sound using earphone or headset, why not try to buy high end headphones that is worth atleast 50usd+ with 3driver. sometimes the problem is in your headphone.

  • Hongkong i guess. my friend just gave it to me.

  • Honor 6x is confirmed by HUAWEI to get an Oreo update, definitely honor 8 will also get 8.0 Oreo update, both phone were launched with 6.0 marshmallow in 2016

  • I don t have that problem with headphones , i am using the lg earphones (quadbeat 2 i think) mostly and i can say that it sounds great . I had to chose between nexus 6p , iphone se and P9 and this was the phone i got . My overall experience is really great but i would ve gone for the oneplus 3t , only because the display is bigger compared to this 5.2 one ... and one more thing I am not so sure that we will get another update , small chances to get oreo

  • a feature that makes the sound a little bit better with headphones on

  • What is +DTS sound?

  • What's the +DTS sound? I heard the sound quality in headphones is very bad, plz someone tell me

  • From you have bought this model?

  • I think the Connection is Different in Every Country, here in my country i reach 30+mpbs with 10ping in speedtest using 4G/LTE and also the sound in headset/earphone is different. im using 1More earphone the sound so Big even i didnt put it in my ear in max volume im still hearing the sounds at 1 meter range, FRD-L09

  • I bought a Huawei Honor 8 (FRD-L14) on August 5th, and found its GPS not working properly (showing different route, GPS moves different route when the vehicle moves, and not re-routing etc) on around 23rd. Did a factory reset and tried with different maps...but was with no luck :(. Finally I contacted the customer care on 25th August and they asked me to send the device to them. After 2-3 follow-ups they emailed me the UPS shipping label, I sent the device to them. After 10 -12 days of wait I received the device back saying the issue has been fixed. I configured the phone again and found still the GPS not working. So I contacted the customer care again on the next day itself (Sep 20th) and told them about the issue. The surprising thing was that the issue was not properly recorded against the ticket, and they said we have replaced the speaker and USB charging port. They were not aware of the exact problem (loos like there were few issues too which I didn't noticed). They simply asked me to send the device again to fix the actual issue, and the customer service representative agreed me that they will send the UPS label within next day 6:00 PM. I waited for 3 days but there was no response so today I contacted them again (Sep 25th), it was totally disappointing me that they told nothing is updated on your new ticket, so again I had to explain all the story and they updated the ticket. I asked them for a temporary device to use for the days when my device is on service but they did not agree saying we have no provisions/options to give temporary devices. Also I asked them to replace the device because the one which I received is a faulty one, so I need a non-faulty device. But they are saying that is also not in their hands and the service engineer has to decide it. Their service engineer only replaced two parts without knowing the actual problem. If they replaced those parts means there was some issues with that too. That is the reason I asked for a replacement. It looks like the customer has to listen to them whatever they says even after paying the full amount of the device. Now I am waiting for the new UPS label to send the device to get it repaired(?). I am sure these guys are not going to do a good job...their customer care service is the worrrrrsttttt one ever.

  • Can anyone tell me the problems associated with the frd-al00 version of the honor 8. Please need a reply asap. Thanks.

  • Upgraded to Honor 8 FRD-L09 (the 32 GB storage model) from Huawei P8 (the 3GB RAM model, not the P8 Lite). After three months of use, here are a few impressions: 1 - VERY beautiful phone, designed with great attention to details. Couldn't find a 2,5D tempered glass screen protector, but i`ve settled with a classic tempered glass, looks ok-ish. A must have is a bumper or something to protect its back, which is slippery. Go for something transparent, for the beauty of this phone. 2 - With normal use (4-5 hours of browsing, Messenger, music, Whatsapp, Netflix Youtube, a few pictures), battery lasts for about 1,5 - 2 days. It charges fully in about 1 - 1,5 hours. The phone is excellent for videos (Youtube or Netflix or whatever), even when using data connection, because it doesn`t overheat. The P8 was so hot that you could cook eggs on it after 2 hrs of videos. The only overheating problems I`ve seen are only when you are using the main camera for pictures or videos. 3 - Speaker is REALLY loud. Louder than P8, for sure. 4 - Calling experience is average. When you`re in a call with somebody, the sound coming from the earpiece lacks bass and lacks high frequencies, so it`s kinda "tinny". Still, you have no problems hearing the people and neither do they. Signal quality is great on both SIMs. You can switch the 4G/3G connection from SIM1 to SIM2 from the phone`s menu. IMPORTANT: there is NO VoLTE on FRD-L09, and Huawei doesn`t seem to care about it and fix it in a later update. 5: Data connection: I have tested it on three different mobile operators. When you`re on a 3G connection, you reach about 7 Mbps download and about 3 Mbps upload. On 4G, the speed increases to 20 Mbps download/upload. No overheating when using data connection. No problems with Wi-Fi connection either, it`s running smooth, no interruptions. 6: Sound in headphones is a disaster. Actually, most Huawei phones are (at best) average when it comes to sound in headphones, but Honor 8 is really silent. If you`re a music lover, don`t buy it. Or root it, then change the sound settings using AlsaMixer or something else and you will be amazed (the sound will be twice louder). I don`t know why, but Huawei limits the sound volume in headphones to a level which is annoying. Again, I don`t think future updates will solve this problem. 7 - there`s no FM Radio, which is - in my opinion - a stupid decision, since not all of us have 24/24 access to the internet and, in case of a storm, earthquake or any other natural disaster, the FM Radio is the only app that could be helpful for hearing emergency broadcasts or useful information. 8: Cameras - main camera is really good in daylight, with rich details, crisp, colourful. Great bokeh (depth of field). The colours are a little graysh / blueish, but you can edit the pics later, there`s no problem in that. If you want to take night shots, you really need a tripod, or else the pictures taken won`t be satisfying. Huawei P8 was a better performer in night photography than Honor 8. Front camera takes really good shots. 9: Lag - no lag in opening / using apps, really good phone in that aspect. If you are looking at Honor 8 and Huawei P9 and you don`t know what to choose, go for Honor 8. It looks better and the dual camera from P9 is better than the dual camera from Honor 8 only at night photography. Also, the P9 heats faster than Honor 8. Don`t thing it`s worth spending the extra money for P9. Hopefully Huawei will correct the headphone sound problem and the missing VoLTE feature from Honor 8, to make it a real flaghsip, though. Till then, Honor 8 is just a really good phone for the money.

  • get yourself an actual dslr or mirrorless camera if you want 4k videos in low light or night time. Cell phone cameras will never be as good as dslr or mirrorless cameras because of how smaller the sensor is. Even GoPro cameras are better with their small sensor size

  • Is the battery drainage problem out or not?

  • The phone is overall good like u can capture good quality 4k photos in daylight ,ui is user friendly and speed is also fast.. But I found two problems in phone that it's battery life isn't that good and in camera video quality is extremely bad in low light i.e. i can not record anything beyond 2feets and when u zoom while capturing a pic it simply sucks

  • I am using this phone and I think that it is one of the best phones that I have ever used. The speed is fast, the cameras are clear everything is just great. But it gets heated easily, especially when you use it for movies. but overall it is good.

  • honor 8 or LG G6 witch one should i by honor is like 100 euros cheaper so I don't know

  • I bought this phone in india from flipkart 5 days back. Now i started to get flickering of my display.. Is this a software issue or because of faulty display... The phone does not have any damage from outside... Plss help me out

  • Any FRD-L09 user here and using it in USA? Does it able to work in USA since this model doesnt have band 2 and 4. If it works, which telco are you using?

  • I've been hearing quite good reviews about Honor phones. But the thing is they are not that quick with updates aren/t they? And all of them (including the 6X & 9) are all shiny metal phones that don't even have a very basic splash-resistant nano coating that when it gets wet the phone will just stop. True? And sunlight readability (despite all the tech inside the screen, colour calibration, etc.) isn't really good. Comments please?

  • Not available in our place in Ph :(

  • When will mid night black version arrives in inda

  • Auto Brightness - A quick search reveals that the problem lies with the Chrome Browser app itself. It seems to affect a lot of phones, not just the H8. The only solution is to try an alternative browser.

  • For Specification, Honor 8 total Win Except the Battery. while for Build Quality. we still dont know that it takes 1year for tested. like Honor 8. The last year Asus Zenfone 3 max was a Total Fail for me, their build quality is a total Fail. for more info Do search it in Google about the build problem of asus zenfone 3 max

  • heating is natural it depends on user. mine slightly heating im a Hard gamer. i you dont want heat, i think phone with heat pipe can solve that like LG G6. but the heat is Natural. its came from processor.

  • I think its a bug or Sensor problem, change your auto brightness to normal, uncheck the AUTO. or for fastest solution. go to the nearest service center of Huawei.

  • I tried "deleting " auto brightness in right angle of phone but nothing..problem remains..

  • Auto Brightness - Pull the notification bar down and you will see a slider for Brightness and a box on the right marked 'Auto'. Untick the box. You can find the same in Settings>Display>Brightness.

  • Please can someone help me to fix problem with auto-brightness? While i m searching internet pages on my Honor 8 brightness goes up and down and up and down,by itself. Is this a software or hardware bug? I tried factory reset but nothing...

  • Hi, I wanna ask, Honor 8 and Asus Zenfone 4 Max Pro. Which one is better ? for long term use. please help. thanks.

  • hi thanks

  • i want to buy a honor 8.....can u say in this model any heating issue????

  • Most likely only coming to the next gen Honor 8 PRO model, not the standard Honor 8.

  • I'd go for the Honor 8 for the following reasons: + Smaller screen, so marginally better ppi pixel density + Better SoC/processor, so better overall performance + NFC + InfraRed port + Better rear cameras + 1080p@60fps vs only 1080p@30fps video recording in the Nova2Plus + DTS sound The Nova2Plus has its own positives like: larger screen, larger battery capacity, greater mp front camera, aptX Bluetooth - but the Honor 8 has more positives overall. Side-by-side specs comparison:

  • Hello, I need to decide between huawei honor 8, nokia 6 and htc 10, any opinion on wich one to buy ?

  • Honor 8 for sure (only missing a FM radio), otherwise better in the following areas: + InfraRed port + TWO rear cameras + 1080p@60fps vs only 1080p@30fps video recording in the P10 Lite + DTS sound + Type-C reversible connector vs MicroUSB in the P10 Lite + 70h battery endurance rating vs 62h battery endurance rating in the P10 Lite + Better CPU, better performance - performance benchmarks below: Honor 8: Basemark OS II: 2029 / Basemark OS II 2.0: 2099 / Basemark X: 16592 P10 Lite: Basemark OS II: 1521 / Basemark OS II 2.0: 1284 / Basemark X: 7588

  • @Pinky Go to and check the IMEI number.

  • never an apple product my friend, don't even think about that.

  • Open the Hi-Care application software that already install in your Honor 8 then chat the costumer Service. if Theres no Hicare application in your honor 8 it has a high possible that it is FAKE, then the other is option to Check the Phone if it is Real. download some 3rd party application that will check the specification of your Phone like antutu benchmark. Cpu-Z then after you check that try to compare the specs you seen in your application installed to GsmArena specification. the Last and additional Option and the most accurate is, Go to a Legit Service Center of Huawei and ask them to Check your Phone if it is their Original Product.

  • This is an awesome phone. Queation of a friend: Wi-Fi coverage and connection is very good.

  • I bought it yesterday. I have a part-time job that i sell drinks and I have to use 4G to supply internet for the card reader. I started at 1.30 till 7h30 and it still has 40% left. (the work is quite easy, i used the phone to facebook, insta nearly all the time.

  • Battery is optimised very good. You should't worry about it. It can last up to two days on medium usage. There are many settings to prolong it's usage and to turn off unnecesary apps running in background.

  • I agree with you.But please tell me about the battery backup of this device.Does it last a day with medium or heavy usage!!!

  • how much storage I have to use in 32 gb version please

  • Great phone, best value for money and amazing body and look. The only bad thing is that its very slippery.

  • Does it support 4g volte?

  • i need it in bangladesh

  • J7 Pro or Honor 8 !!!! Please suggest

  • In Lazada you can replace or refund the item if it is factory damage and not user damage but it takes time, so you have to wait the process. i already try it, i buy asus to them then refund it after i saw some factory defect. in Amazon. is still didnt try the warranty because most of the item i order them is not electronics

  • Nah!!! J7 pro camera doesn't come close

  • Samsung J7 pro is also a good alternative.

  • My advice is don't take risks. Buy it from a reputed vendor in your town.

  • where can I buy it in Bangladesh.....

  • I am worried about shipping from abroad cause I never done it before, specially in smartphones am worried if it will come to me broken.

  • Go Buy In Lazada but Check the seller and the review 1st and most of the Honor 8 sell in lazada is 3GB variant so you better check that 1st before clicking find the 4Gb Variant. or if you want you can also Buy in Amazon.

  • The sellers of Huawei Honor phones in Lazada seems suspicious and it's shipped from abroad. Where else can I buy?

  • You can buy in Lazada bro

  • For all in the Philippines, Davao City. Where can I buy Honor 8/8pro/9 phones here? Please help me cause I just moved here.

  • Hi everyone, I bought this phone yesterday, and now I think that this device has some overheating issues. I was playing some game which came with device, surfing for 10-15 mins and the phone was really warm, as I saw the temperature gone for 10 degrees up, on 52 degrees. Is this normal or not? Because I didn't do anything like playing hard games or something like that, just normal usage and it becomes really really warm in hand. Not just the top of device, the whole surface.

  • Does anyone in the United States have this phone and have connectivity problems? I heard most of the time it won't connect to LTE and goes on 3g instead. Also any other problems? Thanks!

  • No Volte supported....!! No good

  • In Wifi Honor 8 got Wi-fi + to me its good in my shop i got 2 internet connection it is automatically transfer to the other that is faster than other, very fast and also if i use the LTE connection the download and loading so Fast. Go to Service Center and not a Store try ask them what happen in your phone why that so slow.

  • can i go for this phone.

  • Very disappoint me, wifi signal very poor comparatively other phone also heat up issue at back upper right corner while using back camera....any one advise how can be it rectify?Purchase pin pack only use 3 week.

  • Yes its dual.the other country handle a single sim like japan.

  • Yes you damn right.. Hahah..

  • bad wifi signal (tested with my samsung a9 pro 4ms and this phone 273ms) and don support 5g router.. gps inaccurate it very bad for a uber driver...

  • Fits perfectly in my palm. That is all!

  • I bought mine yesterday for 313 euros. I just don't like the EMUI, those icons are too big for me as I come from a vanilla Android device. Probably gonna switch to Nova launcher soon.

  • ordered one today. wish me luck :-)

  • Wifi singal strength very low compare to other normal phone...any solution pls

  • Yes of course, with its price tag, specs and performance gave it justice. Kirin 950 is way better than Qualcomm 625 which are used in other midrange smartphone.. And the battery was also great not mentioning honor 8 supports quick charge. I recommend this especially if you are a heavy user:-)

  • @Harry Not all sites! Click on the 'Specifications' Tab above these posts, and then look at Body>Sim

  • @Harry There are two variants of this phone - a single nano sim model and a dual sim model. The model available depends on which country you live in.

  • then why all site mention that honor 8 has dual sim

  • if you are going to purchase the huawei honor 8 phone, you can also get the HONOR skin for Miya on Mobile Legends :)))))))))))))))))))))))

  • Can it resist the short falls,cause the body is all glass!!!!

  • Not a Good idea. honor 8 still more cheaper with more specs Than Xperia. Xperia use T880 mp2 GPU, multi touch limit at 4., 2,700mah battery with the processor of Mediatek which is the cheapest budget processor in market., but the price so High Honor 8 use T880mp4 GPU multi touch is 10, i tested it. Battery is 3,000 and its use li-poly which is the safest and more expensive battery, the processor is Custom Kirin but more faster than mediatek for sure they always have smaller NM than mediatek

  • Sony launches Xperia A1 Ultra priced at Rs 29,990 in India

  • the price range has reduced a lot from that

  • Should I buy this phone in July 2017 for the price range????? Any better phone for the same price????

  • Is it have heating problem?? And what about its over all performance bcz i am thinking about to purchase honor 8

  • No, i am using android 7.0 the is still good. However it is draining a little bit fast but, you will get a good battery life. But there is an issue that google messenging is not able to show sender's name, even if he/she is in your contacts.

  • Yes it can give 4 to 5½ hours of screen on time if there is heavy usage. But you can show off because it's back is really amazing.

  • No, its a single sim.

  • No problem bro I m using too superb battery life u will became fan of this phone after using this one

  • No problem I m using superb phone

  • Best phone friends I m using this phone from last 2- months good camera especially front one for selfie..I love one thing about this phone is batter...great battery life and fast touch light weight fingerprint sensor is good I give 100% to this phone love it

  • does it have the privacy protection feature?

  • How is the battery life after 7.0, i heard its not good and its drain very fast while playing games. Please confirm any honor 8 user.

  • Anyone having any issues with the new updates in india? Mainly battery issues

  • is this phone support dual sim

  • Does honor 8 has volte in india? It supports volte call without jio4gvoice app

  • yep

  • In different country and Seller. i guess because some seller give their costumer some headphone but other is nothing.

  • Does it come with headphones ?

  • Does this phone support LTE+ Carrier Aggregation in India by Jio?

  • No its because of GST and there stock clearance. They are planning to launch new series in next quarter. Just check their global news you will get the details. I think you have not seen the news about Apple they had also reduced the iphone price.

  • Everything is fine. But while using camera phone getting hot!!! Did anyone know how Can I solve it

  • After update my Honor 8 having problem in mirror share function... half tv screen error & half running... but in previous version it was smoother... how can I solv it ...

  • Then where did you get that info? probably they dont know that the new release HONOR 9 got 1million sales in just 28 days. Here link from GSMARENA news: give that link to them, then tell to them stop spreading the out of the world fake news.

  • some time battery getting low hours (12 ,10 like this)

  • Does it Support 4G? Also i will have to go to Philippines next month, so will there be any issue because of country change?

  • I heard that huawei is closing Its global company or market soon. And so as the same with Asus. That's why the price droped for both honor 8 and Asus zenfone 3, Is this real? Please help me out with this mystery.

  • I heard that honor is closing its market or global company soon. Is it real? Please help me out.

  • YES. if you are just browsing. the finger print scanner is good too, enough for security, can read even with scratches or covered with 1 or 2 layer plastic bag, fast response too. and also the battery is more stable. i have this phone for 8months the battery is percentage reading is more realable unlike other phone after you restart the percentage is has a big changes.

  • Hey! I am planning to buy honor 8! As this specification is really great and i love it! But is it suit for me..as i am a college student, so i'll surf 4-7 hours on internet!! So is it suit for me??

  • Which phone? and is black also available? I see no black and duel sim version on online market.

  • Nope..its the same... but in 28500 u get one more huawei phone free....

  • after updating my honor 8 device to L02C675B330, the hotspot has stopped working. can someone resolve my issue ? is anyone facing the same issue ?

  • Honor 9 sure i ask my big brother he is a doctor in austrelia coming very soon but donot know is it available there or not so if not i Have to find out something other great device for me

  • Why the price of honor 8 in india falls down? while release it was about 29k rupee and now only 20k rupee. what is the reason behind? is the phone now same as 29k price time or now the quality came down with the low price?

  • Yes for Budget Phone, the Specs of phone is the most recommended of Latest Games. but if you have more budget why not go to Honor 9.

  • Hmm i think dont expect Too much in budget phone. but it has Fast Focus. Good video Capture with enough light but Grainy in Low Light if you use VIDEO. but in Camera Capture or Picture, the picture is good even in low Light they process it enough, The Color is More accurate Detailed expect when you zoom, well its reasonable it has 12mp camera only.

  • For Budget phone, Yes. but for High specs phone. i think you must go to Honor 8 Pro or Huawei Honor 9. especially the upcoming Huawei Mate 10 Rumor said October.

  • Honor 9 ,honor 8 pro sure they have latest chip (kirin 960) wich is good i love heavy gaming but what if i could not manage to get them i mean honor 9 is available in few regions (is it available in austrelia ? ) and 8 pro is a bit expensive So is honor 8 good enough in performince (for heavy gaming etc) I want to say ( honor 8 is a good phone killer desine , beauti and the beast but ) evryone think as me after the new faster chip older is it a bit slower then my expectations ? Lol 😂😂 is honor 8 fast enough for my haeavy games and future games Any tips any suggestions ?

  • Anyone tell about Honor 8 camera performance...

  • Thanks shadowjaiz. Recently i updated my honor 8 device to FRD- L02C675B330, and after the update my hotspot has stopped working. and whenever I'm calling in Jio's no, the call drops and disconnect just after one ring. and this does not happen whenever I call any non-Jio's user. All this does not use to happen before the update. What should I do now ? Kindly help.

  • Is this phone still worth buying?

  • not all DUAL Camera have dual Setting. some is wide. some is Color accurate, while the other is zoom like Oneplus 5. The setting of other phone like what you said is Wide. While in Honor 8 is Color Accurate more like a censor. and also regarding to the RUMOR. Huawei Mate 10 2nd cam is AR. DONT Expect every Dual Cam got same Setting.

  • Is it better on nougat or kirin for playing online apps? Thank you

  • My question is, this phone has duel camera , but why it does not have a portrait mode like of iPhone 7 plus and Xiaomi mi 6 ? And will the portrait mode be available after any update ? Thanks

  • visit the xda forum and you will get all your answer

  • Yes it's support

  • why is it that huawei honour 8 don't have its files online to enable people download and flash honor products?

  • Just wait for the update.mine frd L02 already have 7.0.

  • Any one does this support jio 4g volte in india

  • Well they are the Best Phone of Honor company in 2016 so its expected and also cloning and fake phone look alike is Expected too. some other are complaining too but they dont know they brought fake but look alike.. then in 2017 they release new phone honor 9.

  • if you do Backread you can read releated about that. DONT COMPARE Iphone to Android if you only looking them for Apps or Games. they have different OS so that means. theres some apps that android can run but apple cant. and theres some apps that apple can run but Android cant. but if you are comparing them to Hardware. Pick Iphone. they got premium Hardware.

  • Total Yes expect to the game that design for Tegra. they are powerfull only Tegra can run them. NBA 2k17 Max setting running smooth. but if you are a Gamer and always want a latest game then you think you have more budget. go to Honor 9 they got much higher GPU.. and this is that good choice for you always pick Mali GPU because more developer design their game in Mali. Mali use in Mediatek, kirin and Exynos. unlike Adreno only Snapdragon can use. so Developer of game pick where they got more user.

  • Just got the Honor 8 FRD-L19 dual sim 64 GB model. Trying to upgrade to Nougat 7 but says no update available. Tried for two days but still nothing. Can anyone suggest why i am not getting the update and how to update.

  • if you are asking like clash of clan game, i think Honor 8 so powerfull enough for you. they can easily run that games very smooth.

  • This device is best smartphone ever, and its great for heavy gamings too.

  • go with i phone 6s

  • which 1 will you choose? iphone 6s @ honor 8? thanks

  • Is this device working good on heavy gaming apps? Thanks

  • Does Honor 8 work good on gaming? apps like clash of clans or vikings war of clans... online gaming apps. Please answer me and if not working good ... which device u would suggest me to buy? Thank u in advance

  • Hm good apple sure have a high graphics in there latest devices but they heat up too much wich can attack on perfomance if kirin is a bit cool chip then its good t get honor 8 if i could not get honor 9 You are very kind person thank you so much for helping me out

  • well all phone will be heating start where the processor located when using it with high graphics for long they are not like computer that has a cooling system like heatsink. mine just a little heat. but no worry smartphone has starting to improve they already have liquid cooling system the Heatpipe like LG g6, Samsung s8 or other very expensive phone. samsung s7 have liquitd cooling system but once jerryrigeverything from youtube channel open it it is empty it has no nitrogen inside. ok back to heating in Honor 8 mine only Heat a little when gaming for an hour maybe 4hours continuous but only in upper where you located the processor, well the heat is not that hot because its glass back so you can feel comfortable holding it.

  • With your very helpfull opinions i got my answer but someone tell me iphone got overheat to much and kirin chip is a bit cool is it true my friend ? By the wey thank you so much for always helping me iut

  • i can get it for 150€ 4 months old, worth it? any fake's around?

  • Does it support volte in India ???

  • My honor 8 I already connecting to wifi. What I did was to reset factory setting. Thanks for your help:-)

  • 1st of all, they have different OS so you cant compare them easily when it comes to apps like games so you really cant compare the A9 of apple to kirin 950 of android. if you want more HD but some of them are with payment go to Apple. but you cant easily costumize apple like Launchers. in Android More games. But maybe in future they will be hard to play in future HD games. Apple got pretty high GPU that can run hd games till Future but the developer of Apps android got more and more than apple for my tips. if you are still planning to buy another after 3years go to Huawei but if you think you are looking for 7 year or more that can run latest games go to Apple. but for me i go to android.

  • honor 8 supporters volts

  • Does your honor8 supports Volte in India ??

  • It support volte and HD calls after update in nougat..

  • Yes, its support volte ,HD calls after update in nougat 7.0

  • My question is, this phone has duel camera , but why it does not have a portrait mode like of iPhone 7 plus and Xiaomi mi 6 ? And will the portrait mode be available in the latest update of 2.5 GB ? Thanks.

  • My question should be wich one is better kirin 960 or apple A9 but whenewhere im close to get a cool budght device its not available in those regions where i can get it as oneplus honor 9 is not officialy available in austrelia and pakistan (i think so , going to sell in limited regions ) okey now tell me any iphone se user who is enjoying heavy games on 4 inch screen or its a bit short ? Or honor 8 performince is good enugh to enjoy heavy games let me know please i like performance becuse of gaming but now i have to get a all rounder device bcz of iPhone short screen so honor is a good choice right ? i think iphone hardwere live longer then the honor wich can be a game changer any suggestion from seniors tec buddiess wich can help

  • if you installing the Game Via transfer files to memory and not in playstore. check the app compatibility maybe you downloaded for adreno files. if you install in in market. Check your Phone if your phone is Genuine. check the specs if same as here in GsmArena. . . Beware of Clone Phone, Clone phone is Every Where.

  • Can u explain how Honor 8 is better than Moto G5 plus?

  • yes , brother same is the case with after update to Nougat it started to drain faster , i mean mobile screen is turned off and after an hour it drained 10℅ without usage

  • Have you tried to delete the ssid from the saved list and start afresh? Unless the hardware is burnt out (you can't connect to any wifi network), this should help.

  • Huawei H8 initially served me well. But later I found that there is something about the hardware that is either incompatible with video streaming or not optimized. Recently I started Hulu Live TV service (different than regular Hulu). While the app runs, no video can be played back. It also gets hot with Youtube Live TV service would crash the entire system (not just the app) after a while. Now it is my backup phone.

  • My new honor 8 hangs and games like asphalt 8 don't work plz help

  • Dose it support VoLTE ??

  • No heating problem at all. If you are really getting than you must be using your while charging and must be using high data octane apps, so it's obvious to heat in any smartphone.

  • Did Honor 8 update to Android 7 world wide

  • why Huwai New mbls like 8 lite display are Dull like some yellowish lite

  • Can anyone help me? Why suddenly my honor 8 cant connect to wifi? Its been about a month old I am using this phone flawlessly with wifi. Our connection is great. But suddenly cant connect my phone. My iphone 5s can smoothly connect to our wifi? What might be the problem? Please help me.

  • please! send the link in comments . i alos want to but this product asap.

  • Go for Honor 8. far better than moto g5 plus.

  • Best phone you can get at the price range INR 17000-20000 (June 2017). performs close to one plus 3 and has a better camera.

  • @Ranga The Moto X Force is taller, wider, thicker, (and a lot heavier), than the Honor 8, so obviously it can hold a larger battery. What is the point of comparing the two?

  • Huh.. just compare with Moto X Force Friend ! Moto Xforce old, but much better than honor 8 ...!

  • more people Want small Size screen than big, but they also want high resolution and this is the solution of Huawei, 5'2 yet more pixel resolution at 400+ ppi almost same at other phone with 5'5 up. Small size phone much fit in travel more comfortable to put in the pocket that the other bigger phone.

  • @Ranha Honor 8 = 7.5mm thick, Honor 6X = 8.2mm thick Thinner phone = thinner battery

  • Open Settings and touch Dual card management. You can configure both SIM cards as desired.

  • Everything is Good ! But I don't know why 3000 mAh battery give with it. When Honor 6x have 3300 mAh battery.

  • the phone is good the camera and spec are good but the thing that dissapoint is that it is a 5.2 inch i expected a 5.5 at this price

  • Whether to go for Moto G or Honor 8 Sapphire Blue

  • Noh it's not supporting..and heating problem while charging .

  • Yeah me too! Im also considering this phone what do u guys say?

  • honor 8-frd l14, inserted 2 SIMS, but dual card mangement or dual SIM option is not available. 4GB/64GB honor 8 model. Why can't i see the Dual SIM option.? does it support really..?

  • Hey has anyone else experrienced any call quality problems because it' getting worse and worse on the recepients side...

  • Hate EMUI 5.0 with Android 7, after this update my phone battery drain very fast. Tried factory reset, wipe cache and more another tips but nothing helps. Very bad optimisation of this update. I think are many users with this problem? What did you? I did rollback to EMUI 4.1, now battery SOT is about 4 hours. Any news about EMUI 5.1? Or will be just new patch for EMUI 5.0?

  • anywhere, anyone emui 5.1?

  • I own the 64GB model for six months. It's a really good phone with the fastest fingerprint reader I have ever tested. The camera is as good as the iPhone 7 or the Samsung Galaxy 7, although this devices cost at least 300€ more. Overall the phone feels fast, not only when you are gaming but also when you are using sistem apps like the gallery, etc. The battery is average it can give you a full day of use and if it doesn't you can always quick charge it under 90 minutes, which is like 30 min faster than the iPhone 7. Summing up the honor 8 is a great smartphone with a really good price for it's performance, and it is similar to the OnePlus 3 because it makes a flagship affordable for under 400€.

  • yeah agree with you.

  • I have almost 6 months with my honor 8. I come from having an LG G3 and I should say that the honor 8 is much better than the LG G3. The honor 8 is not heated (just a little when charging and if you're playing demanding games, it's normal). It has worked perfectly, and so far it has never been lagged. The battery lasts all day And it's beautiful. I recommend it with my eyes closed

  • am thinking of buying honor 8, but i need to know if its strong enough hardware wise, i can see there are very good reviews on the quality of the phone performance, can u assist please

  • Nope i dont know, im still staying at 4.0 marshmallow, waiting the official update in websites. Huawei said before end of 2017 they will upload it.

  • Can any Indian Honor 8 user say does is support VoLTE now or not as the price drops to 17k (INR) so i m deciding to purchase this?

  • thx! do u know, it will be an update to emui 5.1?

  • better to wait more updates. they still fixing it thats why they never release the official website update. you cant download 7.0 in their website but theres a download link in them that you can downgrade back to 6.0

  • Hi guys, planning to buy honour 8 .but while seeing to specs there is no support volte .then I spoke to honour service team they confirmed that they have enabled volte via software update. Can someone using the phone confirm it . waiting for Ur reply

  • no. i have emui 5.0 and nougat 7.0

  • how much usa $ is that?!

  • if price drop on Rs.19k then go for it.. this is the incredible smartphone at this price point.. only19k

  • are you still in marshmallow 6.0?

  • after last update (yesterday, but not to emui 5.1) battery drain VERY fast !!!! help pls!

  • Yes you are ight

  • yeah thats why Huawei still using Kirin and samsung using their own processor too. the Snapdragon code is focus for high graphics and Camera, while samsung and huawei focus on daily need of a person more on Bussiness. its just my own conclusion, but i think why Kirin and exynox didnt use high GPU because it will need to remove some materials build in their processor to make GPU of SD fit. They sacrefice high graphics for more accurate in Multi task.

  • Yeah few of you friends suggest honor 9 i was curious about pricetag after checking the specs but they tell me its fine as honor 8 so its good to get that i have a eye on honor 9 its coming soon And yeah i hate crashing apps when app close specialy in games sd can be dangerous 😂😂 hope for the best

  • Well to tell you which will you pick, between 3T or Honor 8 yes 3T got SD that high GPU that high possibilities to run in future high graphic games. but Honor 8 got Good GPU that most of the high graphics games can run smooth like NBA 2k17 if you know that game. and other high games without FPS drop. but in the upcoming games i dont know if still can handle but well it will be far in future. and also Theres so more you dont know in Honor 8 processor like the co-processor i5, the purpose of that co-processor is to maintain your phone sensor like finger print. and i agree with that the finger print so fast response even though my hand is Wet. . . . and if you compare to SD vs Kirin, im done with SD after few months you cant enjoy it because of Force close apps that you need to Restore factory the phone to make it RUN normal again then all the apps will be Clean again. unlike Kirin apps Running perfectly all apps never close. but if you really want more powerful just Wait Honor 9 the upgraded version of Honor 8 with 6GB Ram and latest processor of kirin with high GPU, The Price is Same as the 1st price of Honor 8 and also some of country Honor 8 is already sale. from 399 USD to 299 USD i forgot which country it is.

  • Can you please tell me about honor im interested in this phone can i get that if i could not get oneplus (3t,5) Its very beautifull beast with very responsable price

  • Yeah im a heavy user but not a multitasking lover i love games yeah other social apps and watching youtube vidz i also think that sd is better in games well thanks for that precious info its very usefull to me

  • Honor 8 is best

  • Yes, upgraded Em 5.1 with A7.0

  • If you are looking for Phone that can handle Heavy Graphics. pick Snapdragon they have high Gflops of GPU but if you are hard multi tasking. Kirin of Huawei got it, their processor can handle that multi task but in exchange their GPU need to be low but not that low but. i already tested it, i have kirin 950 of honor 8 and Snapdragon 821 of Asus. both of them fast but its only in the beginning you and after 7months. in snapdragon some apps cant handle some apps while more running in background. sometimes it automatically close while on Kirin the only problem is they can run heavy graphic games but in Fps Drop but apps never close. bye the way my apps in phone is total of 80 apps, Emulators. dictionary. games, icon themes different social apps. im a heavy phone user so i pick kirin over snapdragon.

  • All of the phone already have RAM management. you think only Xiaomi has ram management? all of them got it but in different program or action.

  • Your info is very usefull dude thanks becuse mi 6 has bad ram managment and oneplus 5 um we can,t get oneplus repair shop anywhere so honor 9 would be great then thanks

  • the price of Honor 9 will be close to price of Mi6, however Honor 9 will available globally and not through re-sellers in China. If you want lower price then ofcourse Honor 8 will be cheaper because it is one year old phone. But if you looking for a direct Huawei competition in price & spec to mi6 and One plus 5, then it should be the Honor 9.

  • Look like a great mobail but is it not a bit expensive with 20mp cam kirin 960 with 6gb ram I think i would love to get oneplus 5 if i could get it it is amazing well thanks for suggestion i,ll look into it :)

  • Be patient for one month more and buy honor 9.

  • Finally custom Rom Support for the honor 8. Look at all the stable Roms on xda.

  • Hey friends I need some suggestion about honor 8 and mi 6 I know mi have sd 835 with higher clock speed and sd 835 is even fast then kirin 960 And other way honor 8 a great mobail in responsable price well i like perfomance for egaming So what if i choose mi 6 becuse of sd 835 ? But heard alot of bad review about bad rom managment and what when i get becuse of latest chip but it wont satisty me , i never hear anything bad about honor 8 Guide me guys i donot wanna get wrong device what about iphone se its very fast but sadly screen size is not good fo gaming right?

  • Almost the same op is just a little bit fast and good cam its very beautifull Both are great and camra mobails you can,t tell in naked eye wich one is better Up to you bud

  • battery back up is poor.I bought from sharf DG Dubai.

  • Can I stay updated on marshmallow and does the update for nougat be mandatory and Do you advise me to buy honor 8 or a7 2017?

  • Op3t or this?

  • Yes, it works wit MetroPCS. We offer the best coverage for unlocked phones on the planet. No contract and a "Bring your own phone" policy. MetroPCS above the rest.

  • I had the same choise and I went with the Honor 8 because of dual camera and better cpu. If you like aluminium better than glass for the back, go with the P10 Lite. No regrets here :-)

  • Honor 8 or p10 lite?

  • Honor 8

  • Did anyone emui 5 nougat 7 in India for honor 8?

  • my favourite phone, I wish to have it.

  • Tnx,hah nice , am using floating dock to lock screen

  • which is best for camera & Video 1) Samsung c7 or 2) Honor 8 Hope you deliver best suggestion.

  • Honor 8 is better because of ram.and design also battery life

  • Yes, the Honor 8 will work with MetroPCS. Using mine on metro just fine

  • Can someone please confirm or not that this will work with Metro PCS??

  • Just like what is said, Samsung is more good in LOWLIGHT capture means in dark places and also 16mp in front camera of samsung while 8mp on huawei. In FAST capture and Color Accurate Honor 8 is Beter. FOR SHORT in Camera comparison. Samsung More details in image captured even in lowlight. Huawei more Accurate in Color and Less blurry in Image. when it comes to speed processing of phone Honor 8 wins, just compare them and you will see the hardware they use.

  • nope i didnt risk mine. 6.0 is still enough for now im afraid that some of my application will not work perfectly if i update it and also not all phone did receive updates, i saw some comments they still didnt receive it. and also Huawei still didnt upload the official updates on any websites of honor, which means the update of 7.0 still ongoing.

  • What do you mean if you love camera choose Samsung than honor 8 .... In fact I want to choose honor 8 because of the dual camera it gives function of blury but explain for me which is really better camera and why ? The second important question is this phone compatible with metropcs 4G lte I mean if I buy I will not be disappointed with something about compatibility of any feature of internal speed .. Or please explain for me what is gonna be not compatible with metropcs if there's anything about this ? Appriciated

  • hahah the third question was hows nougat android? anyways thanks for the answers

  • for battery charging I had the same problem. plz check your battery consuption. if the media server is consuming your phone battery (more than display consumption) it means you have unknown media in your phone or memory which media server is failed to scan it.it cuses some problem like slow charging and consuming battery. so remove or copy your medias to flash memory. turn of the phone for 30 minutes and charge it. and enjoy fast charging.

  • I think you forgot the 3rd Question ^^, well anyway im not sure in splash resistance but sometimes my hand is wet im touching the fingerprint sensor and still working, sometimes using the phone while raining and i dont have umbrella its still working., in the headphone i dont use the Headphone of Huawei provided, i use Sony headphone and sometimes apple earphone the quality sound of Huawei is Good it has DTS.

  • i you want camera, samsung got win in lowlight and good at video and high pixel camera than honor 8 than makes more detailed with good front camera, but in honor 8 more accurate color in capture image but more noise in video record in low light but good in focus than samsung, in Design the Honor 8 is more elegant than the old fashion samsung. and the honor 8 quality is good tested by Jerryrigeverything in youtube but the front glass easy scratch well you gonna put screen guard there anyway even you pick other phone is its easy solution. The last is Processing. HONOR 8 totally Wins. just look at the GPU used honor 8 is more latest and also the Ram and Processor, Honor 8 Totally win. for Short, if you love Camera and Brand Name pick Samsung BUT if you are looking for Fast Process smartphone with elegant Look go to Huawei Honor 8.

  • Advantages of the Honor - it has 2 way infrared (it can learn button-presses from other remotes) - takes better pictures than A5 - it is a lot faster CPU (A 4 cluster cortex-A72 cpu is flagship performance) - it has a faster GPU (Mali T880MP4 vs. Mali T830MP3) - the fingerprint scanner is also a programmable button (very convenient) - LTPS IPS screen has great contrast and colours (but still not as punchy as AMOled). It has great viewing angles and is much sharper than AMOled due to pure RGB-matrix. Advantages of A5 - FM-radio - dedicated SD-card slot (honor uses 2nd SIM-slot for micro-SD-card) - Amoled screen with always on feature (gives higher contrast and punchy colours but Pentile matrix is less sharp) - better battery life - water resistant IP68 - Gorilla glass 4 (the honor has gorilla glass 3) - at the front it's a spitting image of an S7 These are the main points. I choose the Honor 8 myself as a replacement for my old Galaxy S5. Very happy with that decisison.

  • hi guys i have 3 questions: 1) does this phone provide any standard resistance to water splashes in daily use? 2) how is the headphone quality of this phone? Thanks

  • Hi bro use screen lock widget . its in Widget menu

  • I own this phon and i can say after 6 months of usage that ists perfect, my friend own s7edge and we noticed that after some time that phone is slower in daily usage, and after i installed last update (few days ago ) they polished softwere and battery last longer and whole sistem is more fluid

  • Hello guys please help me to choose . A5 2017 or honor 8

  • Cannot download videos from apps

  • I want to screen lock my phone without using power button, I also installed one app, bt after doing my finger print it again wats the pin code, I dont like to use the PIN everytime to unlock the phone rather only want to use fingerprint please help me

  • If you have the money to spend (burn), go for S7. The support might be better, too. If you want something cheaper, the Honor 8 is probably the best phone you can get for the price at the moment.

  • And the back is glass, too... It breaks so easily. That said, I managed to shatter my old Nokia 920, too.

  • I never really thought about sound quality on phones, but using my previous phones (iPhones in a row up to 7) people were always complaining when I was in a windy or noisy place... With Honor 8 I start apologizing for the background noise when there is huge traffic, but then the person on the other end of the line would say they can hear me clearly, no noise. So I guess the noise cancellation is great on this one. I also really enjoy the camera, it beats some standalone cameras, too. Handy features to guard the battery life, detailed yet easy to read stats on which app uses how much, so it was really easy for me to set up the phone in a way that it can last me for days with medium use. While I love the look and feel of the phone, the glass back and front makes it vulnerable (though it worked with heavily shattered screen, too, before I got it repaired). Get a proper case for it from day one if you buy this.

  • How you make your Honor 8 charge once two days.Mine need to charge once a day.May I know if you use any tweak?

  • hi samsung s7 flat or honor 8 which is better??

  • Huawei Honor 8 is the best phone I have ever had. For the battery, I charged it once two days. I spend it on watching youtube, instagram, chatting, music, etc. I really suggest you buying this product.

  • I've recently bought one and the battery life it's very good but it will depend on how much you spend gaming, watching videos and listening music.

  • Own and tried Honor 8 myself,honestly the phone did a great job.Kirin 950 still blazing fast,the graphic while not pack much horsepower on it still perform faster than Adreno 506.Snapdragon SoC was good,SD625 was popular in battery focus smartphone and the GPU did a good job.But you're after for performance,Honor 8 will never let you down.Camera was spectacular on lowlight,play with the Pro Mode and you'll get a pretty good result on it.

  • I want to know about honor 8 battry life on music play, video play, watch youtube , gamming Please suggest me i am going to buy this phone

  • I have an Honor 8 and it is not true in my case. It is not 47% in 10mins. It's about between 30-40% in 30 mins.

  • Huawei Honor 9 will release just wait the price is Almost same.

  • According to Benchmark of GSMArena Honor 8 got the highest result but when it come to 4k video record asus win honor 8 dont have 4k video record.

  • nope Honor 8 is much better in performance and Quality.. Here check their Benchmark result from GSMArena in Durability Test here the link of JerryRigeverything the Brute man when it comes to phone. Honor 8 : Xiaomi redmi note 3, (note 4 still not tested by jerryrig. someone test it but that youtube channel still not trusted because he is Beginner)

  • Both are good at Gaming. but Kirin is a Smart processor than snapdragon. but snapdragon got adreno that good for high graphics but lack of self learning processor. when it comes to camera, honor 8 got better color in camera capture but when it comes to video asus got 4k video record. battery i think both fine i go to many blog theres only normal complain well its basic. in build quality Honor 8 is tested by JerryRigeverything in Youtube and he amaze about the phone built. even the fingerprint sensor scratch badly its still working 100% unlike asus i saw some complain even wet hand will not work. and also asus is not honest in their build. Jerryrigeverything test one of their premium phone zenfone 3 deluxe that said full metal but after opened it inside . the side of deluxe is Plastic. Why not wait for Honor 9, theres a rumor that it will release with latest Processor. with 6gb Ram but the price is Almost near at Honor 8 but the build quality still untested.

  • Dont get confuse think cool and try redmi note 4

  • Im soo mch confused about thinking to. Buy a new phone i have 2 vhoices honor 8 and other is ZenFone 3 Ze552kl which is better?? And also i wanna knw about the battery back uo about the honor. Im not interested to play games so. Please help me guys

  • if your problem is fingerprint sensor maybe factory defect send that item for warranty. then if you try to compare it. Huawei honor 8 is has much better fingerprint sensor than other phone. Jerryrigeverything of youtube test it he scratch but still working unlike other phone after scratch fingerprint cant detect. Mine is working perfectly in wet or dry hand.

  • yes it has a fast charging feature. 47 % in 30 minutes charge.

  • everything is fine except battery drainage during overnight my phone eats 25-30% of charge.. anyone please help me to solving my problem

  • The question should have come first before all your complaints. I am an nougat and it has zero problem. Factory reset your phone if it is giving you problems and reconfigure it afresh.

  • I just got the phone and so awesome but smart keys doesn't work help?

  • I just got the phone and so awesome but smart keys doesn't work help?

  • Real competition is with the one plus 3T. Both around Rs 30k

  • Nice phone but a week ago It stopped working my fingerprint sensor, ie it does not open a status bar. It also annoys me that Huawey does not send a patch for Android 7.0 that has a lot of bugs. In view of all the above, I'm very disappointed with both the phone and Huawey. Question: Does anyone have the same case with the sensor and did it manage to solve it?

  • better buy honor 8

  • All perfect, except the battery

  • yes it does

  • Hmmm thats confusing, Honor 8 is a Sole name. if you live in Philippines you can buy it but the name is same. i saw it in LAZADA. and also more user in Philippines using this phone but never called their phone in that name only Honor 8. thats the 1st time i hear that new name. cant search it in google too.

  • there is none unfortanutley.

  • This is available in Philippines, it is renamed as GN 2016/17 Usually be seen in SM. I've bought this phone and it has crystal clear camera. Battery is good it last long. It is normal for the battery if it will drain faster than usual, not just the Huawei phone but every phone does. Don't use your phone for the entire life of the phone and I Guarantee you that the battery will last long the same as you purchase it.

  • Xiaomi Mi5 or Honor 8?

  • Honor 8

  • yes it is

  • Hi if you feel disgust in the Heat you know what? go BUY Higher end Phone with liquid cooling inside like samsung s8 its much cheaper dude for 700usd up compare this VERY HIGH PRICE worth 350usd Honor 8. you know HEAT in phone is Very basic to the basic, and also what do you mean battery backup?

  • Phone is Awesome..!!!! Camera Clarity also Mind Blowing..!!!! Faced 2 major things only.. Disgusting heating problem & low battery backup when connected with wifi and also at the time of gaming..

  • Does this phone come with a fast charger included in the box??

  • Which is a better option? Honor 8 or Nova plus?

  • It's similar to all chinese sets. The screen costs 70 percent of the phone cost to replace. Very fragile screen unlike the Nokia phones.

  • Fast charge worked for about a month and now take like 20 minutes for 5%. Screen breaks very easy and cost alot to get repaired. Not many good cases for it. The worst customer service ever. I would rather have a more reliable phone because I can't deal with this.

  • yes it will work sadly not officially release in Philippines but you can buy it in online store and you can still use full features like 4g, lte and other.

  • Great phone, but always an issue with pish notifications​, especially WhatsApp messenger, i did everythings, none of them are works,such a shame

  • You should buy honor 8 with model L09C185, which means middle-east/africa/asia so that the phone network signal will work properly in your country.

  • WILL THIS WORK IN PHILIPPINES ? I MEAN THE LTE, 4G, 3G, and 2G Compatible in Philippines please need help

  • if you compare A7 2017 to honor 8, HONOR 8 wins their price is almost same yet the processor, GPU, Ram of Honor 8 is more Advantage, the only advantage of A7 2017 is he use higher screen than honor 8, Honor 8 is CG3 while A7 2017 is CG4, and A7 2017 has water resistance. but if you let me pick Honor8 wins vs A7 2017, i pick the speed over the build, if you compare Honor 8 vs samsung S7, well it is obvious Samsung s7 all specs wins expect to Smart thumb sensor of Honor 8 which you can use it as a Button or swipe effect while browsing in gallery or other that requires swipe but over all i pick Samsung s7 if i have a budget. samsung s7 is more expensive than Honor 8.

  • there is just search it in playstore CPU Thermal, CPU-Z can also check them but its better to buy device that can detect the heat, its more accurate, i guess. and also for additional in heat problem, Please make sure your running background app is Off, it will cause the processor more active if there is more app running on background, and its better to use 3rd party Launcher than the built in launcher that is more simple, mine i Use Smart Launcher, Simple no Widget, Widget is an running background apps. go try that launcher you will enjoy it, simple yet can customize easily.

  • Huawei honor 8 or samsung A7 or S7 ? please help

  • First of all, thank you very much for answering my queries. I need to ask you one more thing, is there any app which can measure CPU temperature ? And up to how much the temperature of the CPU can rise ? Which is considered not an issue ! And yes, you are right , the metal frame is getting heat up but not the screen. But it's getting heat up even in 2 min of camera use. Thanks in advance.

  • the heat is normal to me in 30mins video record with setting of 1080p 60fps, small heat in upper side, where the processor is located but on the metal side only. in the screen i didnt feel the Heat. . . if you feel the Heat on the metal and not on the Screen Be happy it means honor 8 use metal till on the inside that connected in your metal sides. Just ignore the Heat all phone without liquid cooling just that a same problem but other phone is worst it almost like flatiron

  • Hii ,, I have forgotten Huawei honor 8's AppLock password , PLZZ tell me solution

  • I'm saying that ...it's even getting heat up while using camera to take pictures ! Does it prevails in honor 8 ?

  • hmmmm i already test mine for 10minutes vidio record. its just a normal heat compare to other Metal phone that heating too much. well if you try to compare honor 8 to other higher end phone like samsung s8 or s7. think twice. those phone have Liquid cooling inside of them that makes them more expensive. try compare the phone that is same price of honor 8. i have Asus zenfone 3 it it Heat like Crazy when playing heavy games of HD video record unlike my honor 8, its normal heat, the heating cause is processor, because the processor is working with high resolution. Honor 8 dont have liquid cooler inside, because if they add it, the price of honor 8 will cost more but they dont add it because it use ArmBig-Little architecture to make the heat Low

  • This phone in India is available only in single sim version. What is a good equivalent of this phone (camera quality and battery life matter the most) having dual sim support ?

  • Hey, I'm using Honor 8, and it's indeed a great camera phone. But the only issue I'm facing is that, it's getting heat up (only the metal frame) while using camera to take pictures. Does anyone is experiencing the same ? Is it an issue or honor 8 does gets heat up while using camera to take pictures or video ?

  • just bought honor 8 yesterday and indeed an amazing phone .

  • look for an app that can play it in google store

  • Dont buy XA ultra...all mess..bterry drain so fast..lagging so much..

  • Are you already update the latest 7.0 NOUGAT ?

  • Can someone help me? I just bought this phone yesterday and it's having problems with playing videos.

  • your search is incomplete. i have other phone still good for almost 2 years with crisp display. The heating problem is not on the screen. so for lifespan it depends on your device. the only problem in LTPS why it is cheap is the brightness. their brightness is limit but in exchange their display is more accurate.

  • I have noticed Honor 8 and p10 lite use LTPS screens.I have searched it online and on wikipedia and it said this: "Amorphous silicon TFTs have been widely used in liquid-crystal display (LCD) flat panels because they can be assembled into complex high-current driver circuits. Amorphous Si-TFT electrodes drive the alignment of crystals in LCDs. The evolution to LTPS-TFTs can have many benefits such as higher device resolution, lower synthesis temperature, and reduced price of essential substrates.However, LTPS-TFTs also have several drawbacks. For example, the area of TFTs in traditional a-Si devices is large, resulting in a small aperture ratio (the amount of area which is not blocked by the opaque TFT and thus admits light). The incompatibility of different aperture ratios prevents LTPS-based complex circuits and drivers from being integrated into a-Si material.Additionally, the quality of LTPS decreases over time due to an increase in temperature upon turning on the transistor, which degrades the film by breaking the Si-H bonds in the material. This would cause the device to suffer from drain breakdown and current leakage, most notably in small and thin transistors, which dissipate heat poorly" Source:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-tempera­ture_polycrystalline_silicon So according to the text additionally, the quality of LTPS decreases over time due to an increase in temperature upon turning on the transistor, which degrades the film by breaking the Si-H bonds in the material.This sounds quite terrible for this device. Due to the glass build and quick charge,this device was heating up quickly during charging and heavier gaming and multitasking.Does it mean the screen will lose it's quality or ? I mean,it seems Huawei uses IPS LCD with LTPS on most of it's expensier devices like P9,P10 and Nova plus but LTPS on it's cheaper phones like Honor 8 and p10 lite. My questions are: 1.If the LTPS thing is true,will this device won't handle 3 years of usage ? 2.Will the device lose quality of it's screen on a bigger factor ? 3.Should i save a bit more money and spend it on P9 since it doesn't have an LTPS screen ?

  • Regarding to your story i see so you are still newbie in device. There is BIG Difference between honor 6x and honor 8, 1st is the chipset or processor used, in honor 6x they use Kirin 655 that is using the lpddr3 but in honor 8 they use kirin 950 that use lpddr4 (CHECK the different KIRIN here : 2nd the GPU T830 on honor 6x and T880 on Honor 8, for additional the mp2,mp3 or mp4 is more like a Core. mp2 means 2 core GPU (CHECK the different MALI GPU here : 3rd Camera, honor 8 have laser focus that honor 6x dont have it,. it use for more fast focus. try to compare it to your self

  • yes it is support in my device, i dont know why GSMARENA didnt put that or maybe all type-C is already OTG. mine can read 2 partition external hard drive 2TB.

  • Good day!pls advice is there any option or posible to put a glass protection or glass screen protector for honor 8 lite

  • this or sony XA ultra?

  • Yes I'm using its single sim I. India

  • support otg fonction ?

  • go to settings ➡️ battery ➡️ settings icon on right top ➡️ connection during sleep ➡️make wifi always on and data connection on

  • In battery settings you have lock screen clean-up section, in that section untick the whatsapp and restart your phone, I think it will help.

  • Hey, I need your help. I came from LG G4 but now it's dead because of the bootloop problem, I need a phone with an updated software, great camera and a good battery. I'm really hoping that it will last at least 2 years. I only have 400 euro as a budget. I'm choosing between the Honor 6X and Honor 8. In my country the Honor 6X is 150 euro cheaper than the Honor 8, which costs 400 euro. Do you think those 150 are really worth it? 'Cause I don't see much difference. To be honest I'm afraid of the materials of the phones, they look fragile and I can't see any cases here in my country. Can you please help me? Thank you in advance.

  • Does Honor 8 support LTE-A ?

  • of corcse honor 8 its most butiful and strong than galaxy A5 2017

  • Honor 8 or Samsung A5 (2017) ?? Pls help me guys!!

  • Hi everyone,im having trouble with WhatsApp push notifications..it always delayed, some time it wont ring till i open the app..i also had a same problem last time when i used honor 6, I thought this problem solved, but still the same, can anyone help me please...🤔 Such a good phone.. all the notifications works well appart from WhatsApp,ive tried everythings, ive tried to re installed the app, unrestricted the power setting,system wake up, etc..none of them are works, it so frustrating​,as WhatsApp was so important for me,

  • Indeed Honor 8 came in July 2016 and we have 3 months to July so Honor 9 must be cooking now getting ready to be out in July. That must be another great phone. We do not expect anything less than Honor 8, it should be greater than Honor 8. We are waiting.

  • Really some of your comments are usless. First u can't determe camera quality by pixels. Saying something like that is just stupid. I agree video quality is bad but all othere specs are just great. Samsung galaxy S6 can't even stand to Honor 8. Processor on honor 8 is better, also as camer pictures with more detail. I wouldn't like to compare screens beacuse they are quite different so I dislike to see people comparing Amoled and ips. Screens so no. I am not sure about speeker so I will not tell anything about it. And also for guy who asked on theme about buying sony phones: please don't do that beacuse it will be your biggest misstake in life. Sony before had good specs phone for rational price but now price is way to big compared to low end specifications. And as I writed this messange on Sony Xperia device I can tell you that Sony phones need repairs offten. My alredy had three and it still overheats. P. S. Ram usage is terible and blootware apps just make ur day terible and I even didn't touck theme of worst battery ever. Hope I helped at least someone and can't wait to see attacks of samsung fan-girls!

  • Honor 8 is better than my 2 samsung GS5 & GS6 when it comes to speed and camera performance. But battery of GS5 and speaker phone is better than Honor 8 and GS6. Video recording and the battery are the two weaknesses of H8.

  • Agreed

  • really this best phone I have ever

  • The camera , how to close the flash light ?

  • Like i Said Samsung s6 is Outdated. lower GPU and processor than Honor 8 and also theres no Memory Slot. with single tone flash, No Laser still using micro usb 2.0, low battery Mah. so if he really want samsung why not go to Samsung s7 or s8 much better. but he want s6, its better to buy Honor 8 their price is almost same but s6 is Outdated

  • s6 got extremely shitty battery life. like extreme.

  • Take samsung 6, better camera, better hardware

  • samsung s6 is a High end phone of samsung Year 2015, but outdated compare to their new phone 2017. Samsung s6 still got good camera with OIS that honor 8 got only EIS, Samsung s6 got nougat update too. Sadly the charging port still Micro, which is Outdated to the newest phone that has Type-c that support Fast Charging. and when it comes to speed processing and multi process, Honor 8 Wins, because honor 8 can compare to Samsung s7 when it comes to processing only (DONT COMPARE Camera Samsung s7 still higher pixels compare to HONOR 8).

  • please some one answer me i want choose between honor8 & samsung s6 which one is better phone? both of them in the same price

  • Looks great in saphire blue. Only if could get few added features like voLTE, more refined camera works, and ram/ memory upgrades in same blue body frame and size, it will become immediately best midranger! Also data sharing NFC etc capabilities shall be an icing on this piece de cake too! BS

  • if you have a budget, why not?. Sony brand is already known as the monster camera in their phone. but if you are looking for middle range phone but monsterous specification. Honor 8 got it. if you really wanna buy Xperia brand. go To their latest Sony Xperia XZ premium the first phone that can record video at 960 FPS. with latest processor of snapdragon. but expect the price is Pretty high.

  • Should I get this or the Sony Xperia X?

  • Well it updated to nougat at the same day i bought it. At the start the sound was awful at least you tube, and auto brightnes were the same. After update the sound was bit better and auto brightnes a bit too. It is almost year old phone and nougat came few months ago for this phone, so they could fix all at this moment. I didnt mention that i contacted customer service provided by HiCare, and it was superb experience. Thanjs to Rada :)

  • There wasnt any live walpapers and it was android 7. And when i used rog mode, there was noticable lines when watching youtube. I believe i did everything that user can do to save battery. And i ran phone manager several times a day to close background apps, and phone it self proposed to close some apps some times. So I think there was or some battery problem or software problems on a specific phone, because some users say their phone battery lasts, some say completely opposite.

  • 1st option check your running backgrounds. 2nd option Restore factory setting 3rd and the Best option, Go to the Nearest service center for Check up.

  • i see so you are using 7.0, well about that i saw some forum that 7.0 still bug thats why 7.0 UPDATE still not official release in their websites. and cannot download. you can download downgrade to their website from 7.0 to 6.0, but you cant download in their website the update 6.0 to 7.0. bug in 7.0 is Battery, the other is Brightness. well me im still using 6.0, it is safe, some of android apps in playstore is also bug in 7.0 so 6.0 still the safest. maybe im gonna update mine in the middle of the year.

  • Hi friends..iam using honor 8 since 2 months.its too heats while using.whats the problem.please reply me..

  • Check you running backgroud. and also dont use live wallpaper or wallpaper that using sensor of your phone. and i want to ask are you already using android 7.0? or still in 6.0?

  • I tried Rog mode and power saving mode that in idea adds few hours. I think there was some bug, because at any time android was first in line, when you check wich program consumes most energy. Service checked the phone and said that it works how it should. And i didnt use it for gaming at all, just internet browsing and social media. Maybe there was defective battery, I really dont know. The battery tests at gsmarena shows that Honor 8 battery should hold at 20% less than Galaxy A5, but in real life the difference is 50%, at least in my experience.

  • I think i know your problem now why your Battery drain fast, you forgot to activate the ROG power saving, that disable the other pixels of your display for better battery. but the changes will never saw in naked Eye. but you will see the difference a little like what you said the display is more like realistic. me im a HARD user. heavy Graphic games. from 8:00 to 18:00 with the game size of 3GB online. battery left is 15 %, but i test it only facebook and internet with youtube. from 8:00 to 18:00 battery left is sometimes 60% sometimes 50% , facebook and youtube whole day in my office.

  • One plus 3T is the better choice definitely..

  • Used Honor 8 for one week and changed it for Galaxy A5! The only reason was battery life. At my usage it wont live till 20:00, and I am not heavy user. Galaxy have 30% battery at 23:00 and thats enough juice for me. What I liked about was camera quality both front and rear, at least at good light. At evening camera becomes very slow and it is hard to capture the moment, Samsung instead captures the moment, just snaps, and the image quality is lower but you got the image. The fingerprint sensor on Honor 8 was superb, never let me down even with wet hands, samsung instead dont work always and with wet hands dont work at all. The display of Honor 8 is sharper and have more natural colours. Honor 8 looks more premium built than galaxy a5. Honor 8 loudspeaker and sound output is kinda bad, sounds dull. Wifi on Honor 8 was slower some how. All and all Honor 8 is better phone than galaxy A5, but it doesnt matter if the juice ends so fast. So if you are light user, go for Honor 8. If you need juice and sound quality, choose different phone.

  • To fix this, uninstall all the updates and let it get updated again. All will be OK

  • Used this phone for 2 weeks. Everything is good but the only things is after the Android nougat update, my YouTube and play store don't run at all and need to reboot to run these. I don't know whether it is my internet problem or the phone problem but I think my internet is fine. :(

  • I have problem on choosing honor 8 or p9 since their price is just a little difference. I like to take photos and can someone tell me the difference of them other than the leica branding? Does the leica branding of p9 produce a better outcome?

  • Im user smartphone Honor 5X Gold.. 1years good condition .. i like Huawei merk

  • Better Honor 8 new smartphone

  • Less worry about that. i already watch the durability test of jerryrigeverything in youtube and he Scratch that fingerprint sensor then try if its still working. goodnews Honor 8 is 1 of the most durable cannot snap easily scratching sensor is safe. and also looks premium in cheap price.

  • Dear friends, there isn't any "Double tap" screen wake up options in the "Motion control" like in the honor 5x, bt I need this feature badly I dont wanna use lock button and fingerprint sensor as my fingers get sweaty all time. please help me (I am posting it second time)

  • i want to by a phone but i can not decide which is better honor 8 or c9pro

  • I think it'd make more sense to wait for a Honor 8 Pro. It's essentially a Honor 8 but on steroid, with a better battery, processor, and screen. It's supposed to cost $450 or so for the 4GB + 64GB storage option and with expandable storage.

  • Dear friends, there isn't any "Double tap" screen wake up options in the "Motion control" like in the honor 5x, bt I need this feature badly I dont wanna use lock button and fingerprint sensor as my fingers get sweaty all time. please help me

  • I am using this smartphone from last 5 months. guys believe me this phone is best. i like 5.2 display phones. no hanging no any software issue. camera is awesome. battery timing is nice and with fast charge you do not need to worry. before i used samsung and sony smartphone but now i am love in with Huawei. why? because of modified OS. You have full control over your smartphone. You can lock apps via built in app locker. many apps which i used to get from play store these apps are already there. I didnt use One plus but Honor 8 look-wise and speed wise is great. Just get it you will not regret.

  • I think oneplus 3t is more better, check and compare the specifications.

  • Should i buy Oppo R9s or Honor 8 ? just want to make decision between this 2 :) any one give his opinion ?

  • Hello guys. I need your help. I can't decide about which phone to get. Oneplus 3 or P9 or Honor 8....? Plz help... I'm going to buy one on next Sunday....

  • sugest me plz can i buy this phone ....................

  • I have this phone and I love it!

  • For Mid range Price phone Honor 8 is a Monster. But if you got Big Budget why not buy the more monster phone like Sony Xperia XZ which is the 1st Mobile that can record video in 960fps that if you make video slow motion like water drop you will see and watch water slowly drop and shatter with details. and it also use latest processor of Snapdragon, the price is almost x3 or x4 price of honor 8. and if you want another latest phone the need big Budget. Samsung S8 latest release. the look is almost all you touch is Screen. almost near Edge less from both top and bottom. but totally edge less in both sides. use latest processor of Exynos. Both of Them is Water Resistance.

  • Hard to tell you know why? both of them has an advantage. Oneplus can record 4k with OIS less shaky with high pixel camera. but honor 8 got dual cam which give color more realistic on the image and can capture image fast because of laser. sadly no 4k video record. and it has no OIS (Optical Image stabilization). but it has EIS (Electronic Image Stabiliziation). both of that EIS and OIS work make video less shaky but EIS got a Disadvantage. because its software process, while OIS is Hardware process.

  • 30s of use? then heat? that is not normal. Return that item let them check it. mine can record video 30mins, no heat. Online gaming High graphics for 5hours heat only slight but its reasonable the game is 3gb size with ultra high graphics in 5 hours gaming with facebook messanger. but the amazing is only little heat. your device got a problem.

  • The Honor's camera is better because of the dual camera sensors you can take photos like with no other phone with great adaptive focus

  • It's a great phone I have the blue one. I love it. I have big hands and it does the job for me.

  • iwant really to buy honor 8 do i buy it guys or think about another phone

  • No it dosent, the SAR mentioned are maximum values, which are almost same for even 1+3T

  • Which one has better camera OnePlus 3 or Honor 8??

  • actually does the the sar of the honor 8 matters much in our daily usage?does it affect much?

  • Hii.. I bought honor 8, but no Android 7.0 so far, Does Indian version get nougat? Any other Indian users, Also my Honor 8 cam gets seriously hot just after 30s of use, is this normal?

  • yes its true , just compare it with a5 2016 for example, but i dont really know how serious problem it is yet :(

  • Hi .. Please I read that honor 8 have hi sar value ...1.42 or 1.5 ... is that normal ?or very high?

  • Also add to my post just made, a dual sim mode too!

  • Dear huawei, but for lhe lack of yor volte compatibility, would have purchased hnr8 by now! Pl come upwith improved version , same saphire blue color(love it), 4 gb 64 ram and dual camera! Hope yu do it with this sized phone on one of yor upcoming models! It sure will sell like hot cakes!

  • thank u for this precious info honestly im not cam lover but sometimes we need a great cam and yeah i like honor more then mate just ask for suggestions because of its biger screen and battry for gaming ,are you sure mate is more powerful because i think they are same and last question honor 4 gb ram does make changes vs the mate 3 gb ram ? because i can't get its 4gb model

  • If iPhone never go for anything below 6S. I'm going for Honor 8 from iPhone 5s after getting frustrated with complete absence of shortcuts, primitive messaging and calling app etc.

  • I have them both .mate 8 and honor 8 .mate 8 better battery bigger screen more powerful .honor 8 much much better camera than mate 8.I think generally is a very good camera .premium quality. Baterry not so good as the mate 8.at the end I like much better my honor 8 .

  • Do the current batch of Honor 8 in INDIA have Nougat and EMUI 5.0 preinstalled or the user has to install after buying? When Indian users will get such preinstalled sets?

  • Mate 8 or honor 8 ? Both are same wich one is better for gamers and heavy users I think mate is better for games and multiple windows using in ( nougat ) bcz of its bigger screen and honor is very beautiful and we can use it easily with one hand cool and beautiful mobail Mate has big battery and big screen for gamng & honor its cheaper then mate and very beautiful mobail Any suggestions?

  • it depends on country. They said in India is Single sim but in asia its dual. Mine is Dual sim

  • Dual.

  • Is this phone single SIM or dual SIM ??? I've order in Amazon India. It says single SIM. But in online reviews they say it's dual SIM ????

  • Samsung A5 is a Budget phone release by samsung, of course it has a low specs that honor 8, just try compare them using GSMARENA compare, CLUE: samung specs 3gb RAM vs Honor 8 4GB Ram samung GPU is mp3 VS honor 8 mp4, both Mali. number means core of GPU Samsung Camera 16 mp Vs honor 8 camera dual 12mp with Laser the only advantage of samsung is Glass use on screen

  • hahaha i agree to that, glass front and back but in exchange it become Premium look, metal button on the sides. but that glassy look can protect by transparent casing ^^ i have that transparent casing and i upgrade it. put something like transparent 4 side Bumper.

  • Samsung A5(2017) or Huawei honor 8? and why?

  • It really is an absolute beast!! The only downside to having this phone is my fear of dropping it.

  • in my device for 2 months. i leave my phone charging for almost 40mins to 1hour. from 10% to 100%. gaming 10 hours from 100% to 15% (high Graphics online) for music, im playing it while sleeping with earphone 92% to 83% in 8 Hours music with earphone.

  • Kindly tell me about the battery timing (Talk time and music play) of "Honor 8", as it is not mentioned in the battery specifications.

  • not to much heating on my heavy games size of 3gb up. slight only but its expected on every phone without heatpipe, heat pipe so expensive. sony z5 premium has an heatpipe

  • not on me, i play heavy games emulators. and normal games of android that has a size of 3gb up. slight heat only but it is expected on cheaper phone... if you want phone that has more resistance go buy expensive like sony xperia Z5 premium it has an Heat Pipe. Dude dont complain to much in heat if you look at computer their processor has an heatsink and some mobile dont have in their processor. Mobile still in a process of evolution. all phone still have that kind of problem except mobile with heat Pipe, it has a liquid nitrogen inside.

  • Thanks for the info,but can you be more specific in terms of which games it heats up the most and does it cooldown fast ? Like in terms of heavier memory 3D games or like even on smaller lighter ones ? And does it heat during games only? What about heavier multi tasking or recording multiple videos ?

  • this phone heats up pretty much when playing heavy games. then what is the benefit of this so called monstrous processor if we cant even play games on this phone to save the phone from getting damage .it sucks due to heating issue although all other things are pretty good but its is useless to have a good CPU that i cant use due to heating issue... it should have a metal back then this would be a better phone. i have used this phone for 1 month and i regret buying it due to this issue.

  • honor 8

  • what to choose between honor 8 or honor 6x ?

  • it depends on what version of zenfone 3. if low end version of zenfone 3, honor 8 Totally wins but if it is like zenfone 3 deluxe, the only advantage of them is camera and screen resistance. the process almost same but honor 8 much cheaper than high end phone of zenfone 3. but when you try to compare in Deep process. the processor use of Honor 8 is still a monster that can run heavy applications like heavy emulations. i Tested it on ps2, ps1 and psp emulator.

  • Yes, try on HiCare app...

  • Honor 8 or Asus zenfone 3? Help me plsss! Tq in advance

  • Yes, in Romania

  • @james03 The apps you mention ALWAYS restart themselves after they are closed; that's why savvy owners delete that rubbish off of our phones. Any electrical appliance will warm up when a current is passed through it, it's a matter of physics that we all learn about at school.

  • Will dual sim support in india in honor 8. Will there be any update for dual sim in india??

  • Anyone from East Europe with this phone? Have you received the Nougat update already??

  • background apps like Facebook and Instagram always run even when i close them from power intensive apps .. why is so??? battery is not that good when i play games and also it heats up little bit when i restart the device and charging it... anyone know why is so??

  • samsung a5 2017 or honor 8? which camera and durability is better?

  • oneplus is way overrated. Cheap manufacturing from adeveturous youngsters with no assistance, no professionality

  • Xperia XZ is powerful than honor 8 in total. Xperia XZ got monstrous when it comes to camera and Display with 801ppi, go watch in youtube. but when in processing application. honor 8 can do that battle. but ofcourse honor 8 is cheaper than xperia XZ

  • i dont think Xperia X is that fast when in processing application. but when in camera i agree in you xperia use Snapdragon which is good in camera image processing. but when it comes in heavy process like emulator applications the Kirin wins. i tested the processor of Honor 8 which is powerful than the snapdragon that Xperia use. if you didnt trust what i said go buy for your self and test it use ppsspp emulator with the games of Tekken 6 and see for your self. I already own them both.

  • Totally Honor 8 Even the Xperia XZ is no match for the Honor 8, the honor 8 is a highly under rated device, its easily as good as Oneplus 3T

  • Xperia x is just too good. No complaints. Infact wanna buy one more before it goes out of stock,! I saw honor 8 in a showroom today. It seemed quite good too. But sony exudes a higher elegance. Cameras on xperia should be better too. Really vivid n colorful. Battery also no issues. Your call in the end. Thanks.

  • That's the only way I record video with it. There is loss in sharpness, but without EIS, the video is very shaky.

  • Does honor 8 have EIS? i saw it in other blog that it has EIS. and i saw it in setting of camera video in my device that it has the stabilization setting. Thanks

  • Honor 8 or Xperia X ?

  • Thanks for your reply really appreciated :)

  • Whats about honor8 lite

  • restarting issues are failsafe for users and are usually because of the defective battery/overcharging/high temperature whereas hanging problems can be because of background apps or wrong optimization of the phone by user via settings. You said you bought it recently sometime if its a legit purchase then get it replaced from the company under 90days replacement guarantee or get it repaired from their service center. You can contact Huawei from its global helpline number and ask for such.

  • Kirin processors are superior than snapdragon's. you can also check for benchmark videos on youtube of all smartphone processors like mediatek snapdragon exynos kirin etc to know exact performance figures of the processors to make rational decision.

  • keeping phone updated is always considered good no matter what though it is completed upto you to update it. as far as heating and battery drainage are concerned then you should install greenify and add all your installed applications to greenfy list and press zzz whenever you charge or whenever you put it on standby.. and try to keep your battery between 20 to 80%. Never fully charge or discharge your phone and try to wipe cache(only) of your phone(from recovery menu do this only if you know how to do it and do it at your own risk) once in a quarter of the year. And also delete any cleaners you have like ccleaner or cmcleaner etc. Disable all applications from power intensive apps and background apps and also turn accessibility applications. Enable applications you "need" only. You should be then and wont be facing heating or battery drainage issues. have a great day.

  • Guys does honor 8's chipset and GPU is as powerful like snapdragon 820 and adreno 530? What do u prefer? Honor 8, OP3T or xiaomi mi5s? In camera, gaming and multitasking Thanks

  • Honor 8, no doubt about it.

  • i still didn't recieve my update, any user here with the same problem as mine??

  • no problem with the battery after update to nougat ... go 4 it

  • I received the nougat update one week before but I still haven't updated my phone because I heard that the battery drains much faster in the new update, I don't care about the new added features as long as my battery doesn't get ruin...the only issue I'm facing with my phone is the heating issue,I think that might be because I use 4g carrier network, the battery doesn't drain much but the phone gets hot even after 30mins of gaming, can anyone please tell me the exact reason for the issue and also give me a confirmation on should I update my phone to nougat or not Thank u in advance :)

  • Yes that's true we get only single sim in india

  • Alternate: Setting > Smart Assistance > Floating dock > On

  • In EMUI 4.1 in honor 8 navigation key had a lock screen button on it and now there is no lock screen button in EMUI 5.. How can we get that one touch lock screen..

  • Then why jio sim is not working??

  • You may have accidentally installed a corrupt application somewhere.Do a factory reset of the phone and then only download from authentic sites like Google play store.Nothing to worry.

  • Well thats the Worst comment i Read. are you sure your Device is not defective. or are you sure its LEGIT?? im using my honor 8 for 2months no hang. playing games NBA2k17, PPSSPP, and facebook, whole day in my office no HANG no HEATING problem battery last for 10hours straight hard gaming without super heat.

  • I just noticed that one can see the battery level of a Bluetooth headset on the notification bar on this phone. I am loving EMUI

  • I purchase Honor 8 before two days ago. But this set hanging problem. In two days more then five time hang. After hanging automatically off and going to be restart, Also Hotspot not working properly some time automatically Off .Also Battery is not good heating problem. A big issue no after sale services from company and store.

  • I also have the same problem , don't know y

  • Which version of Huawei honor8 is good, old one or the new 7.0

  • When it comes to camera usage, people typically use it for taking photos way more often than for filming video. So 4K video isnt really much of an advantage when the O+3T sucks when it comes to taking photos (where the camera matters). Oh and the O+3T does NOT have an SDcard slot, and 4K video gobbles up memory like crazy so your phone storage will fill up fast filming 4K video without an SDcard. If you want 4K video, I can think of many phones that are better than the O+3T. And OIS isnt much of an advantage unless you have really shaky hands. I've used devices with OIS and I really can't see any difference in photos with respect to motion blur when compared to the Honor 8. OIS is overrated, you only need it if you're really jittery when taking photos. And for filming video, the Honor 8 has DIS, so you dont need OIS.

  • That is a matter of taste. Do you prefer the metal body of the P9 or the glass design of the Honor 8? Other than appearance, they're identical phones.

  • Your device is defective, replace it with a correctly operating Huawei Honor 8 device.

  • Hi honor Team i am using honor holly 2 plus new version mobile it's tottaly bad i cant update new versions also its slow hanging issues facing can u help how to fix the problem & make it fast in my mobile operating systems.

  • You have to recharge 4G pack,then only it will show you 4G

  • I purchase Honor 8 before two days ago. But this set hanging problem. In two days more then five time hang. After hanging automatically off and going to be restart .Also Battery is not good heating problem.

  • You might as well wait for the release of P10 and P10 lite. Or better yet, the Moto G5 Plus. P9 is quite dated, Honor 8 is also 6 months old. The problem with that is with regards to software updates.

  • I have Honor 8 premium, and i hate glass back. It slides everywhere. I will change it for P9

  • If I have any meeting with address location, I would like to be able by click address location to start navigation instantly. Other calendar app allow that. Any idea how to fix that?

  • Honor 8 or p9 which the best please anyone advice me quickly

  • Is This Real?? Please need response. Thanks

  • 2-28-2017 TimeZone +8 last day of the month February still didn't receive nougat 7.0 update in my Honor 8, i guess im gonna wait till later. hope will arive later

  • Why my honor 8 doesnt show 4g while i put my airtel 4g sim and also jio sim doesnt work... My preferred network is lte but still not showing 4g.. Plz help..

  • Thank you sir For your kind information I appreciate it

  • for business go to iphone but for gamer and camera user. go to Honor 8, advantage is you can upgrade the storage. and also when it comes to Apps. there's more enjoying app in Android than iOs.

  • Anyone from India using h8. Bcoz I heard that in India only single sim model is sold.

  • Need some suggestions iPhone se or huawei honor 8 I believe in IOs is wey better then android but we get memory and short battery problem here , But honor 8 it's beautiful and on android we can get some cool features wich is unavailable on ios im a gamer and i found that i can get some great games free on android but same games i have to pay on ios i can use card on honor its battery is bigger fast charging also available ,beautiful mobile but ios have Alot great features like safari if we know the usage its a great thing ios is great in security we can hide apps and games we as i said ios is better it rarely hang and we can fix it in a minute Stuck help me please

  • it Has 4k video Record that Honor 8 dont have, and it has an OIS.

  • Actually O+3T does not have an advantage over Honor 8 in Camera. The O+3T actually has smaller pixels than the Honor 8 and so that will increase noise and therefore picture quality drops, and having 4 extra Megapixels will not help the problem. It also does not have dual LED like the Honor 8 has, so photos that use the LED flash will not look as good as the Honor 8. O+3T also is not dual camera, so it cant use the two cameras to combine image information to increase picture quality as the Honor 8 can nor can it do artificial depth of field/wide aperture as the Honor 8 can. The honor 8 has better dynamic range than the O+3T and just better picture quality overall. The O+3T is actually a very underwhelming camera, don't be fooled by the megapixel count, High megapixels does not equal high quality picture.

  • Benchmark tests show that the Kirin 955 is equal to the 950 in practice. The 955 might be a few milliseconds faster on the same task, but we're talking milliseconds difference, no human can detect a difference that small. They're effectively identical. As for the Leica branding, that is exactly all it is, just branding. When it comes to picture quality, they're identical (which is what matters, not a brand logo stamp). Compare photos of the same scene and it is impossible to tell the difference. Leica is contracted with Huawei to make their camera hardware, it's Leica manufactured camera hardware, hence the same! A rose with any other brand logo stamped onto it is still a rose.

  • Just leaving here how durable Honor 8 is.

  • well for me i already have my premium case name "Luxury plating Gilded TPU" transparent for design only that gives small small protection(Search it in google), . now my phone become more elegant in look. but i buy another which has added bumper Transparent case But if you want to go more armor you need to sacrifice the Design just search it in google there are so MANY solution there. just dont forget to ADD Tempered glass. even the Ceramic glass can get scratch in daily life. (Changing Tempered glass is Cheaper than Changing the Main Glass)

  • for Simple gamer, minimal camera user less video record, good for Multi Task. go to MI5s but for heavy gamer, video record for long, and for Design premium Look glass front and Back go to Honor 8 but little careful needed because both back and front is Glass, But unlike Mi5s its has Memory slot which is hassle free in storage. unlike Mi5s you need to transfer file immediately to PC or external using OTG because of no slot memory which is LIMIT your storage in your Smartphone. in Honor 8 you can put up to 256GB micro SD, unlike the Mi5s only limit till 128 only Max internal storage

  • Is there any tempered glass available for the rear of honor 8. As some back case will spoil the sexy look. And what about the audio quality via headset.

  • Guys should i buy mi5s or H8? Considering daily use, Processor, Ram, Camera, and Looks.

  • if you pick 1+3t over Honor 8, your advantage is Camera, RAm the use in multitask and the Screen protection the use CGG 4 that honor 8 use CGG 3 only. your disadvanatage is non premium Look . processor that 1+3T only has quadcore that cant run smooth Heavy Apps like PSP Emulators with heavy Games, and no Memory slot that you will run out of storage if you didnt transfer your files using OTG or Transfer to PC, or Transfer to Online, not recommended for adventurer or traveller with using video record

  • just want to inform you if you really a smart in choosing phone, why did you not pick the non premium look? you can solve it so Simple like customizing it find in Google. and in H8 if you are worried in Glass well the only problem is they made Back glass to make it Premium Look. All phone are using different glass and no matter what you do it still a GLASS that will shatter so you will buy armor, even that phone using the most Durable Glass in the World. and if that is the phone pick my only problem there is the memory slot you said. That is the Big problem because no matter what you do you will never upgrade the capacity of your phone because of Lack of memory Slot.

  • Hello everyone, am planning to buy a new all-round mobile with an affordable price range of 30k. I found very few to be in that list like 1+3t, honor 8, moto z. I hav little disappointment over all these, like no sd card option in 3t, glass finish which is prone to scratches and cracks h8, non premium look in mz,. Don't get me wrong I accept no device is perfect but for me these are cons. So finally I have decided to go with 1+3t sacrificing the sd option,as it kills all the high branded flagships. I still hav little worried about the audio quality via headset will satisfy me or not. Am currently using Xperia m4 aqua and xb 50 ap headset combo. As all know Sony sound quality is unmatched, but I wanna make sure the quality not poor. Bcoz am a song lover. Plz spend ur time to clarify me. Thanks in advance.

  • Guys plz I need an advice...which one to buy oneplus3 or the honor 8??... Is there any perfomance issues and how tough is the body...thx in advance

  • i dont think its chinesse ROM mine got FRD-L09 i search it and that code is in OTHER Region, i forgot what is the model number of Chiness, japan, and US. but i check it its. Other Region. if you want to BUY go to LAZADA, and it is Abroad Item. even this phone is not Available in Philippines you can still use it. im not the only user here in PH that has Honor 8.

  • where did you bought the honor 8? because it is not available in philippines and i want to buy one. is yours have the chinese ROM or not? thanks :)

  • if you watch jerryrigeverything, yes the scratch is more visible than the normal screen scratch at level 6 but honor8 scratch at level 5 but its just a minor problem. you will just put tempered glass or screen guard anyway even that screen resist till level 7, ofcourse even it resist more scratch it still a GLASS.

  • Guys, my speaker sometimes not working and it's annoying, even alarm or incoming call also not functioning, just vibration .

  • There is an easy remedy. Use a screen protector + case, or a flip case. I would do that regardless of the scratch-proof-ness of the screen and I am sure I am not alone in this. Having said that, I do wish the Honor 8 had a metal back. And a non curved screen. (so screen protectors can effectively cover the entire screen)

  • Honor 8 screen scratches more easily than almost every other phone today

  • dear all ,, my device is FRD L-09 ,, Last two days ago I've updated my device.... After mirror sharing, Just half of tv screen running and half hanged condition.. this problem faced after update the honor 8,...... but other mobile phone + tv working smoothly.... what can I do ..???. ....After Factory reset no change.... Plz replay..

  • That scratches easily, even GSM Arena review say their reviewed Honor 8 scratches too easy, already have many scratches!

  • No the P9 has Kirin 955 not 950 and has Leica branding

  • Yes it does it has Nippon Electric Glass with Oleophobic coating

  • its FRD-L09. there is only one problem in my phone after the update...the finger scanner sometimes cannot recognize my fingerprint

  • EMUI 5 update comes with better Geekbench score and whole user experience is really cool and smooth.

  • Honor 8 do not have a scratch resistant display, that is a big problem!

  • What is the model number of your phone? im here in ph Too.

  • Got nougat update yesterday in india amd its amazing to use it!!

  • peel off the protective film

  • Got the android 7.0 update here in philippines today. Its a beauty thing. Thanks honor 8

  • That is very subjective.

  • I will go for oneplus 3t

  • Excellent. whole day camera and mild gaming from 8am to 6pm battery remaining is 30%, and in process it can play video with super HD, can play games in PPSSPP emulator at very high FPS no LAG, no HANG. MAX setting at HD games like nbA2K17

  • go to HONOR 8 premium design and premium materials. but if you want process mi 5 got it fast process but the materials and build of mi 5 unit SUCKS, go watch video of Jerryrig in y0utube you will see what i mean. Honor 8 got excellent result in durabilty Test

  • how is the performance and battery drain?

  • Guys I need your help, should i go with mi5s 128gb or honor 8 64gb. Both with 4gb ram. Note: Price and Storage 64/128 doesnt matter for me. What I need is real life using comparisons, Lag, battery drain, etc. thanks guys. Kirin vs snapdragon ; mali vs adreno Because considering common opinion, snapdragon 821 and adreno 530 are one of the best in smartphones now.

  • Honor8

  • Huawei 8 SD connected to PC the content of the SD card can not be seen and files can not be copied.

  • dear all ,, my device is FRD L-09 ,, Last two days ago I've updated my device.... After mirror sharing, Just half of tv screen running and half hanged condition.. this problem faced after update the honor 8,...... but other mobile phone + tv working smoothly.... what can I do ..???. ....After Factory reset no change.... Plz replay..

  • Any BUG issue in update??? can you tell us if you got bug there sir ^^ can you observe the camera, battery, and gaming process if there's a changes

  • which one is better one plus 3t or honor 8?

  • Woo, got the 7.0 update on my Honor 8! Seems fine so far, though it was great already :)

  • Ok . Shadow jaiz .. i am definitely go to the . Survice center. ..thanx for the help

  • May I ask if anyone upate to nougat how is the performance and the battery drain? Thanks

  • The Question sir. are you sure your Phone is Genuine? remember its a Flagship phone that the other Chinese company cloning/copying the other Chinese product. 2nd possible problem is maybe your device Load more application in running background and your setting in your phone is in maximum display 1080x1920 (you can change setting in Phone Care). 3rd possibilities is your Device got defect in their hardware. Better solution bring your phone to the Service center of HUAWEI and not to the shop where you purchase your Device. They will check if your item is Genuine or got Defect.

  • Go to Honor 8 obvious, Camera. Performance. Processor. and RAM and Design

  • its just a problem that on background apps are updating automatically..also turn off auto downloads apps in play store and open my apps in play store and then cancel the ongoing downloading app...thats it..its not a big problem..

  • I have Airtel 4G data but still it showing downloading ...

  • The Honor8's pictures are actually better than an iphone 7's pictures, hands down. It also can capture RAW images which further enhance the image quality completely mashing the iphone's picture quality.

  • Nope. I use the camera a lot and it never even gets warm. It basically stays cold no matter what you do with it. Very good at managing heat from the processor.

  • They're actually the same. The difference between honor 8 and the P9 is only in appearance. Hardware wise it is the same. Honor 8 is just the P9 with a glass body. The buyer should choose based on preference on which looks better to them, I believe the Honor 8 is usually sold cheaper than the P9 however.

  • There's really nothing wrong with it. It's camera lacks OIS, and some people don't like the EMUI user interface, but that is fixable by installing a launcher app. Other than that, there is nothing wrong with it. For $400, I would say you're actually ripping Huawei off, they should be charging $600 for this phone for what you're getting.

  • your device is defective. THe Honor 8's camera is as good as the Samsung galaxy s7 if not better (with the exception of honor 8 lacking OIS). There is no way any honest person could say the camera on the honor 8 is poor quality, it takes some of the best pictures taken on an android phone and does well in low light conditions as well. If you're claiming the honor 8 camera is bad, then either your device is defective and you should get it replaced or you're a troll.

  • I'm shoked to hear that. You record video for 30 min and your phone won't heatup ... Here I'm record just for 5 min and. My phone heating up like frying pan . And im going to fry an egg on it . .. what can i say bro . May be its manufacture issue.. ..

  • just open the play store with good internet speed.and then open my app from menu in play store.there u can see that app which is downloading and due to that your all downloading is pending...just make sure u hav good internet connection,....

  • I Dont Think so. . . the Honor 8 Camera is Reasonable because its Price is LOW. if you want High Camera Specs go to Samsung of course but it has bigger price. and also in camera. im using mine but not heating. already done RECORD Video with Maximum setting. 30mins and after that done with 200+ pictures. now heres the Question for You sir. can you make same specs in samsung s7 but you sell it almost half price of that Samsung S7..?

  • Between one plus 3t and honor 8 , which one is worth the money and the better phone ?

  • I posted some photos taken with this phone, both in daylight and in the evening. I used the auto mode and my hands are not particularly steady (though I have tried to keep still). This should give people an idea of how the phone performs. Colors are spot on, there is some noise creeping up in low light, but it still looks nice to my eyes.

  • When honor 8 ll get bought in Pakistan ??? Any one ,any idea..

  • Does this phone easy overheated?

  • If you want a new smartphone with a camera that will match/beat that on the S6 you will probably need to go for a flagship device. At under 500 Euros there are no phones out there that come close to the S6, particularly in low light. Your best bet is probably going for an S7, I would say.

  • must be user problem or DOA

  • i want to buy

  • And i am going to sell this phone. Within 3 days .

  • Finaly I bought it last week. Phone is good. Speed performance is good . . But I am very disappointed with camera.. when I record slowmo video its realy very dark.i can't see anything and recording is too laggy 2nd..pictures quality was good in outdoor. But Indoor very bad.. I am using galaxy s6. Galaxy s6 camera much better than honor 8. I don't know why people says that honor 8 camera is best 3rd..When i record normal video. Its blurr the image not sharp.. .i am using Huawei's product very much. But this time. I am heartbroken..😞 MY ADVICE if u want good camera go for samsung. Or other products. And if u want. Good performance go for honor 8 .and most important thing. Phone get very hot when i using camera . I dont like that thing very much ... . .. Thank u ..

  • Got EMUI 5.0 Nougat update for my device FRD-AL10... But the UI sucks.. EMUI 4.1 UI is Better than 5.0

  • Huawei honor 8 is excellent ..And iam using this phone for the past 1month...No lag ...Brilliant camera..Glass coating is really good in sunlight..4gb ram is highly efficient ...Only problem is Indian model of this phone is single sim varient...People who are satisfied with single sim can go for this model..Else a perfect phone fulfills every needs required for a mobile under 30k..

  • My honor support only one SIM. Is it single SIM or dual SIM phone. It also has only one one imei NO. Other wise very nice performance by the honor.

  • I want to buy this phone Just I want to know does it support LTE-A(4g+)?

  • I have been using Honor 8 for over a month now. I have never faced and issues with it. Huawei's optimization for apps and battery is really amazing. I have played high-end graphics games like N.O.V.A 3 and many more like that single player and multiplayer, not once I have faced any lags. Camera also give you some pretty amazing shots. The pictures are not equivalent to an iPhone or a Samsung Galaxy S7. But it's not at all bad at all. So overall the phone is pretty good for the price. And I forgot to mention the design it is also a beautiful looking device. Feels premium too. Cheers!

  • its does warm up but its barely there . i have it personally rn

  • Is there any heating issue in honor 8???. I am asking because some people says . When they open the camera.phone getting warm.. is that true. ??? Plzz tell
