The editors liked
Huawei's Honor 8 is a slick little package that combines good photos from a dual-lens camera with a useful customizable button and a fingerprint reader. And it's easy to use one-handed
Alluring reflective glass design
Neat fingerprint sensor gestures
Betterthanexpected dual camera
The editors didn't like
Battery life falls short and knuckle gestures are gimmicky. It's a smudge magnet
Fingerprint prone, no optical image stabilisation on camera
The premium budget market is strewn with the carcasses of good smartphones. There are so many stunning options out there including the Alcatel Idol 4S, OnePlus 3 and others. The undisputed king of this range is the OnePlus 3 and with a budget of <£400, it...

The Honor 8 is very special. With a label price of under £370 for the 32GB version, it's a genuine flagship killer. We wish that Huawei would leave the Android interface alone, but at the same time EMUI adds so much value in terms of little touches that i...
Outstanding metal-and-glass design, Impressive dual-sensor camera, Useful IR sensor, Good price point
Cumbersome software, Disappointing display
Huawei has achieved what amounts to a supply chain miracle: it's crammed nearly every high-end component of the P9, a phone that retails for well north of $600 unlocked, into a handset half the price: $400 for 32GB and $450 for 64GB. That's deserving of...
Attractive design, Quick fingerprint scanner, Good performance
Hampered by Emotion UI, So-so camera, Better value alternatives available
Honor 8 – Camera The dual-sensor camera returns – arguably, the Huawei P9's headline feature. Gone is the Leica branding of the lenses, however. Sony's 12-megapixel IMX286 sensors are used – one RGB, one monochrome – and they have 1.25um-sized pixels. As...

The Honor 8 is a fantastic smartphone, but the price has gone up from the Honor 7. In return for the additional expense you get a fantastic dual-camera, a sleek and stylish design, a faster fingerprint sensor and a beautiful display, which combined make t...
Abstract: Never heard of Honor? No, not the outdated concept they're forever banging on about in Game of Thrones, the Chinese smartphone maker that's coming after the likes of Apple and Samsung. No? Well it's time to take note. The new Honor 8 just dropped and it's...

The biggest difference between the two phones, however, is the price. Where the Huawei P9 sells for £449 from Huawei's Vmall.eu website, the Honor 8 is a much more reasonable £370. That's quite a step up in price over the Honor 7, which sold for £250 at l...
Gorgeous design, quality build - doesn't feel "mid-range" at all, Dual cameras take impressive photos, Battery life to last all day
Beaten on price by OnePlus, EMUI has crept into every nook and cranny
Look at the spec sheet and it's tough to see where Honor could have shaved any more off the price. The £369 Honor 8 should be stinkingly good value, even if the twin cameras are more of a novelty than must-have extra. The problem was always going to be t...

Highly effective for the (anticipated) price point, looks great and is a step-up beyond the Honor 7 in all areas, dual cameras feature is quirky and fun, detailed controls of apps and battery life
Battery life could be better given the capacity, some graphical hangs, OnePlus 3 is a formidable competitor, fingerprint grease destroy the aesthetic style, EMUI re-skin can be fussy
As mid-level phones go the Honor 8 lays down some solid specification benchmarks for its £370 price. In reality, however, some of them don't quite live up to the paperwork: the battery life ought to be a little longer lasting, while the odd "hang" h...
