Honor 8C - User Reviews

  • If you want get a fast update os, please go for android one, or just go flagship phone

  • my honor phone went dead, can't open it, it's about two months old, purchased in Michigan and i'm in the middle east in Zarqa Jordan, it was purchased using credit card and i don't know which one i used, the phone should be under warranty, could i take it to a HUAWAEI agent and get it repaired without having any proof of purchase but the number on the phone, help me please.

  • Is there anyone who got android 9 update on Honor 8C ?

  • Thanks. Of course only the 3 GB ram version is available here. But the major reason i can't buy this phone is that it doesn't get android 9 yet and apparently won't.

  • your missing the point here this is low end device don't expect to much

  • don't worry about background apps it's have 4gb ram ut can handle don't compare it with 2gb

  • Now September is over and there is no pie update for this phone. Does anyone get android 9 on this phone ?

  • Does this phone close background apps like other Huawei midrange phones ? I have honor 7s with 2 GB ram and it closes all background apps frequently specially in power saving mode.it makes me crazy.

  • good

  • Poor camera result poor graphics heats up while using google map poor speaker and earpiece

  • no

  • ram 4! ram 3

  • The Best purchase under this budget Awsome Battery timmings Excellent performance Nice Camera Light weight ND premium design Best chip set under this price range V Satisfied with honor 8c

  • this phone is very bad due to bad hanging behavior

  • i had purchased this Honor 8c Phone in January 2019 . i hardly used this phone 3 months . it has started hanging sometimes too much . my best friend suggested me this phone . so i relied on him . and i purchased it in hurry . but when i will start using this phone and i will hardly pass 2-3 hours on this phone . then it starts hanging too much . then i have to restart it again . so this is the problem which disturbs a lot . and i am facing this one issue apart from this , till now ( April 12 , 2019) it is working very well . so please try to solve this one problem and i do not use this phone too much . so i don't know which kind of features are lacking in this phone . try yourself , see it and then purchase .

  • Honor 9 Lite has better display, chipset and somewhat better camera. Honor 8C just has much better battery.

  • SD 632 can play PUBG on low graphics, but just barely. There will be slight stutters and FPS won't be good, which is most important for games like PUBG. I recommend minimum of SD 636 or Kirin 659 for gaming, as they offer more acceptable gaming performance - but still on low graphics. For good gaming experience, you should go for SD 660, Helio P60 and Kirin 710. They all are equally powerful for gaming. Realme 3 has Helio P60 and it costs about same as this phone. It also has good camera result, battery and strong built quality. It can play PUBG on HD graphics smoothly.

  • i want to buy this phone 8c for playing pubg how it will be

  • I am using honor 8c since 6 month. Poor camera result, poor ear piece, heats up while using google map, not good display, so plz dont buy

  • in septemper 2019

  • Yes

  • Its a worst worst phone. dont buy. It got shitty camera and gallery is too buggy... I though huawei company is good but i was so wrong.

  • will Honor upgrade it to PIE

  • nice , i am using this phone , good one

  • it's a good phone ... someone knows how to update emui 9

  • I think would upgrade to EMUI 9.0 but still Android Oreo.

  • Which is better honor 9 lite or honor 8c

  • Hits a great phone so far have mi for 7 month and it's holding up pretty just hopes it get Android pic

  • Yes, its slow, honor 8x is way faster, but if youre looking for a budget phone, go for it.

  • I 100 % agreed with your comment, I am using since last one month and very much disappointed with its performance which is very slow, such as response time of the phone when start from sleep screen and also after finishing call wake up time is very slow. I strongly suggest not to buy this sub stranded Honor 8C.

  • Look buddy if want to play games buy honor 8c cuz it's have a better CPU And if you using phone for stuff like Facebook and Instagram use y7 prime

  • It's a no brainer, go for Honor 8C for the 600series snapdragon

  • Can you hide also the "notch" here in Honor 8C, just like in the Y7 Prime 2019?

  • Please help me decide what to buy. Honor 8C or Huawei Y7 Prime 2019?

  • Honor is brand of Huwaie

  • You are wrong, Honor is a group that owns a Huawei and under that name it produces even better devices for a cheaper price, I own a Honor 8x and in a license for this mobile clearly writes that this product is provided by Huawei (Shenzhen) Co.Ltd, and Also in the certification logos is the trademark of Huawei Tehnologies Co Ltd with the model ;JSN-L21, so it is not good to write for something that you are not informed

  • yes

  • honor is not Huawei, they make compromises to make the products cheaper!

  • Yesterday i was buy honor 8c. But i am not happy with this.first of all LCD Very Weak, were type anything? I heard some sound like :tap tap. As like plastic. Camera Very poor. Specially in night. When i open gallary and try to move photo like slid. First photo movingand after all movie take time to viwe minimum 5/10 scound. My suggest don't buy this phone.you should get nice phone in this semilar price in samsung.

  • So agreed! When I changed from Samsung to Huawei, totally not satisfied with speaker!

  • No. It doesn't

  • Dose it support fast charging? I have this but didn't support fast charging

  • But in india they are selling both 3&4gb version, i have 4gb ram with 64 gb.

  • I have used its predecessor honor 7c , was a good mobile. The successor might be better I expect so; I am planning to buying honor 8c.

  • On gsm arena its memory specifications showing 4gb , 64 gb but in paksitan honor officialy selling in 3gb, 32 gb what the hell with ram and memory... over all set is good in battery and look but 32 gb memory is not enough for android ..

  • I have honor 8c (32GB) and it has only 3GB ram Also the official website (HONOR) determines that it has 3gb of ram

  • Call waiting is on but not functioning plz help

  • I bought Honor 8C and I found if you record a videos at a low light location the back deual camera gives videos contain a wavy lights while the front camera videos are normal in the same location .... I went to Honor agent in Egypt called Raya they checked the phone and say it's normal and refused to replace it... I don't know is that defue in the brand 8c generally or in just my owne one.

  • Is slow motion video available

  • Does it support VoLTE?

  • LTE compatible band? Can you respond to Japan and Taiwanese bands?

  • witch is better SD632 or Kirin710??

  • its a trend. now days smartfone getting bigger n bigger. miss on old days 4.7 inch.

  • why is honor not producing size 4.7 or 5 inch !!!!!!!!?????????

  • The 632 is nearly the same as the 636.

  • So snap 632 is basically similar to 636?

  • Does this phone got notification light?

  • did he can move apps to SD?

  • Yes this phone is great value for money. I very much hope this phone comes to my country. I am glad that Huawei is getting back to the dedicated memory card slot and that is a course to jubilate. I am really happy.

  • Yeah this phone is value! :3

  • huawei has great phones except for speaker quality just bought y7 2018 not satisfied with speaker performance even samsung's mid range phones have great speakers that's an edge on huawei

  • This phone like for 5 years ago as: microUSB 2.0 Bluetooth 4.2, Resolution 720 x 1520 pixels (~269 ppi density)

  • but its worth for $200.

  • (~269 ppi density) Very few have been given.

  • They call it 8C but there is no 'USB C' in phone.

  • good specs... neat back sd632 should run 720p screen well... biggest concern might be sunlight legibility

  • Good one from all aspects from this price range 👍

  • I am very glad that you are into the Snapdragon business now. I really want Huawei phone with Snapdragon 625, 4000 mAh battery and a dedicated SD card slot, radio, good camera with EIS, face unlock Android one, Gorilla glass 3 with the price range of $180 - $200. Good audio as well. That will be very hot on the market.
