Yesterday, we presented to you the beginning of our comparative between Honor 8 and its main competitors. Today, you can find here the other and last part with a review about its performances, camera and battery capacity.
Huawei Honor 8 Performances
Under its body, Honor 8 will board a data sheet worthy of high-end smartphones of the year. Most precisely, it will have a SoC Kirin 950 at 8 hearts and 3 or 4GB of RAM, in its Chinese version.
This configuration, we already met it at the beginning of the year on an other smartphone : Huawei Mate 8. And if we believe in our benchmarks, it’s one of the most powerful smartphones of the year, particularly in greedy games. Thus, the mobile board a « futur-proof » configuration and should be able to hold few years without any problem.
In front of it, we find also high-end configurations. Let’s have a quick talk about Nexus 5X. This last one has a 2015 high-end configuration, but is fairly remote from OnePlus 3 and Galaxy S6. These two devices have very good chips. For the first one it’s a Snapdragon 820, the best of high-end chips of Qualcomm with 6GB of RAM, and the second have an Exynos 7420 and 3GB of RAM. About performances, they are virtually neck and neck.
Huawei Honor 8 camera
When Honor 8 has been announced, lots of medias denounced a Huawei P9 copy. They are not totally wrong, because Honor 8 has one of its bigger originalities : the double camera sensor. If we just look the data sheet, the two mobiles have the same camera sensor, two 12mp sensors from Sony. The first one is for colors pictures and the second one for monochrome images. The only difference between these two devices is the certification Leica for the P9 and not for Honor 8.
In camera domain, the competition between our three other smartphones is harsh. Whether concerning Nexus 5X and its very good camera of 12 mp or OnePlus 3 and its 16pm sensor, the two devices are doing very well. But it’s with Galaxy S6 that competition will be harder, because its 16mp photo sensor makes it today one of the best camera phone of the moment.
Huawei Honor 8 battery
Since we don’t have yet the official Honor 8 data sheet for now, we won’t guess its battery power. We just know it will board a 3000 mAh battery, same as Huawei P9. A capacity we find on the OnePlus 3, which could hold a bit more than a day in a classic use.
We can safely say that its battery capacity should be better than Nexus 5X or Galaxy S6. The two devices are indeed known for their poor battery capacity. And the Galaxy S6 particularly with its 2550 mAh battery, which can’t hold more than a day without be charged.
Conclusion
On the paper, the Huawei Honor 8 has everything or almost of a high-end smartphone. Between its design « 2016 trend » mixing glass and metal, its data sheet able to compete with high-end devices and its double camera sensor, it’s very promising. All the more so we expect a low price in view of its data sheet.
Like every high-end smartphone sold at slashed price, we will have to check it hasn’t annoying details. To reach that price, Honor will have to make accommodations somewhere. So we must wait its test to check the completions, camera and screen qualities.
