Honor 8

Experts, analysts, and insiders are not only confident that after 7 iPhone Apple refuses the two-year refresh huawei honor cycle smartphones in favor of one-year. If this information proves true, already in 2017 we will see the iPhone 8, the main feature of which will be an abundance of glass in the hull structure.
Honor 8 – one of the first smart phones with “glass” design in such a class of devices. Volume, the so-called 2,5D glass (ie just “flowing down” to the edges and gives the feeling of volume), both located in the front part and at the back. In addition, the light shimmering on the faces, is associated with silhouettes of modern racing cars. One-piece frame made of metal with sloping end faces complementary to a sense of balance device. Moreover, the rear wall is made of several layers of transparent material that guarantee a unique pattern every smartphone. The play of light visible in bright light.
Perhaps, when you buy in the cabin, you do not immediately notice. Honor 8 offers something similar today. The front and back side of the smartphone are covered with protective glass, which not only looks great, but also gives an interesting tactile sensations. On the screen as usual at Huawei, he “Shinichi”, but the color can be corrected through a built-in rainbow palette. What prevented to do it in the factory, I do not understand. Otherwise, everything is in order: a clear picture, good anti-glare, oleophobic coating that is necessary, the glass during the 2-week use is not scratched.
The front and back portions are covered smartphone glass Corning Gorilla Glass 3 that minimizes cosmetic damage. Applied and oleophobic coating. Frames on the edges very thin. Special touch buttons are provided: at the bottom of the frame is located the company logo, and on top – front camera, proximity sensors and light and lattice dynamics, which neatly “fit” color diode, which identifies the different events (missed calls and messages messengers power and low battery level). On the back of the device – two camera module, LED flash, auto focus laser module. Below – a round platform with a fingerprint sensor function button, which you can “assign” additional actions.
For example, pressing – Unlock and the transition to e-mail, double – start the camera and holding a long – screenshot. There are many options, you can activate the launch of even third-party applications. In addition, a horizontal swipe on the touch pad, you can scroll through the images in the gallery, and vertical – to cause shutter settings and notifications. It’s really good and you get used to it quickly. At the bottom there is a connector for a standard 3.5-mm stereo headset, USB-C, grill speaker and microphone. The sound is quite loud and the quality is not “choked” and does not distort at high volume. In July this year was announced a smartphone called the Honor 8 (Huawei sub-brand).
As I see it, the device is especially interesting from the standpoint of appearance: the front and rear side glass is used with a mirror effect and rounding 2.5D, the side faces are made of metal, and there are a few bright colors. Naturally, it is better to see once than to read about Honor 8 in the text, or look at it on the Internet. In addition, as in P9, there is not a very fast autofocus. I tried to shoot Valentine cornering, when the test on the BMW X5 range. Old iPhone 6 Plus with this normally cope, Honor 8 – no. So, if the plans of children photography, small animals and other activities, Huawei’s camera is not suitable for this purpose. In terms of technical specifications are all excellent: and a powerful processor, and a “sea” of RAM, and a capacious battery.
We should also mention that the 8 Honor inherited from Huawei P9 Dual Camera. Of course, it is easier, but the basic functions are performed well: blurs the background and expands the dynamic range. The positioning of this model – the flagship line of Honor for those who are interested in not only the parameters but also the design of the device. Apple launched iPhone differentiation since the days of the “six”. Then the company released two smartphones in different sizes, which have received distinctions and functional filling.
PHABLET completed with optical stabilization, and his younger brother does not. Manufacturer continued it with the release of “Seven”. Only now Plus-version equipped with a cool dual camera with a number of interesting pieces that are not available to fans compact smartphone. At the same time, Huawei offers a similar solution in a relatively compact form factor, making it an excellent alternative for the iPhone 7 “cut”.
