The Honor 8 is the latest smartphone from Huawei's cheaper sub-brand. It's no longer as cut price as the range used to be, but Huawei has squeezed most of what was good about its flagship P9 smartphone into something that costs almost 20% less. So do you...

It may seem odd that, mere months after the debut of Huawei's top-of-the-line P9 handset, the Chinese smartphone maker has essentially repurposed its flagship phone's hardware for a handset that costs half the price. But that's just what Huawei has done...

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...

Battery life "Epic" is how I would describe it, all things considered. The Honor 8 sips power and easily managed almost twice the battery life I got on Alcatel's similarlypriced Idol 4S. Granted, both the Axon 7 and OnePlus 3 have also received high marks...
EMUI I know EMUI has its fans, but I cannot stand this interface. It is an affront to Android, both aesthetically and functionally. Did you know every time you install a new app in EMUI, the system won't let it run when the display is off (i.e, sync in th...
