RefurbStore's independent expert review
Review Overview:
The Honor 8 is a budget-friendly smartphone that offers a solid mix of style and performance. It boasts a sleek design, an impressive dual-camera setup, and a powerful processor. However, it falls a little short in terms of battery life.
Overall Score: 3.0/5
Price: 4.5/5
The Honor 8 is competitively priced and offers value for money. It manages to compete with high-end phones in terms of design and features while being a fraction of the cost. However, there are also cheaper phones on the market with similar features.
Camera: 4/5
The dual-lens 12MP camera on the Honor 8 is impressive, particularly considering the phone's price point. It captures sharp and vibrant photos in good lighting conditions. Low light performance is decent, although not quite on par with more expensive competitors. The camera also lacks optical image stabilization.
Power: 4/5
Equipped with a HiSilicon Kirin 950 processor and 4GB of RAM, the Honor 8 offers robust performance for most tasks and even some light gaming. It's no powerhouse, but it handles everyday tasks smoothly and efficiently.
Battery: 3/5
The 3000mAh battery on the Honor 8 is slightly disappointing. It'll get you through a day of moderate use, but heavy users will find themselves reaching for a charger before the day is done. It does support fast charging, which is a plus.
