The new HONOR 8 and HONOR 5- A new stylish affordable flagship smartphone!



The Honor 8 isn’t necessarily fresh news given that it was announced last month headed to the Chinese market. What’s new, though, is that the sub-brand of Huawei is making a statement by launching the Honor 8 in the US with a competitive price point that’s tough to overlook.

Although it’s tough to say how the Honor 5X from early in the year performed in terms of sales, the Honor 8 fashions together a bevy of goodies that makes for a compelling offering. Ahead of our full review, let’s a quick look at Honor’s latest smartphone for the US market.

Huawei’s honor line up of devices has created quite a buzz in the market due to their top end specifications and extremely down-to-earth prices. The other two high-end smartphones, the honor V8 and honor 8, launched earlier this year, and came with dual rear cameras and some cutting edge hardware. The honor Note 8, which was earlier rumored to be called as honor V8 Max, also packs quite a punch.
The new phablet runs on the HiSilicon Kirin 955 SoC, paired with 4GB of RAM and a Mali-T880 MP4 GPU for a power packed performance. Other features include 4GB of RAM, 32/64/128GB internal storage, 13MP/8MP rear/front cameras and a fingerprint sensor. Of course, it’s standout feature is the huge 6.6-inch display, which comes with a Quad HD resolution.

 

Huawei has made sure that its large display doesn’t kill the phablet in a matter of hours by including a 4,500mAh battery, which should easily allow for a full day of use. The honor Note 8 runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box with the latest EMUI 4.1 slapped on top.
Coming now to the honor 5, the smartphone comes with a 5-inch 720p display, and is powered by MediaTek’s MT6735P 64-bit quad-core processor, along with 2GB of RAM and a Mali-T720 GPU. It offers 16GB of internal memory, 8MP/2MP rear/front cameras, a 2,200mAh battery, and runs Android 5.1 Lollipop.

 

Moving on to the pricing of the honor Note 8, the 32GB model will sell for $345 (~CNY 2299), the 64GB version for $375 (~CNY 2499), and the 128GB variant for $420 (~CNY 2799). Meanwhile, the entry-level honor 5 smartphone is priced at just $90 (~CNY 599). Huawei has started accepting pre-bookings in China on vMall and JD.com with sales set to begin from August 9, though there’s no word yet about their availability in the international markets.

The Essential Phone.

Image
After a lot of rumors about the Essential Phone that is created by Andy Rubin, the father of android, the phone was launched a few days back. The most eye catchy part of this phone is the screen itself. The Essential phone tries  to keep up with the bezel-less smartphones of 2017, which has an edge to edge LCD display keeping a tiny chin at the bottom and just a small space for the selfie camera on top. The weird thing about this phone is that there is no branding on the phone. The phone feels solid in hand and following the trend the phone has a ceramic back which is glossy enough to attract a lot of finger prints. The side is covered by metal that have cut outs for the antenna bands.  The fingerprint scanner is at the back of the phone which looks cool and adds character to the phone.
