Huawei’s Honor brand of smartphones are typically low-to-mid range devices with specs that sometimes punch above their weight class. The Honor 5X, for instance, is a $200 phone with a full HD display, a 3,000 mAh battery, a fingerprint sensor, and a Snapdragon 616 octa-core CPU.
But it looks like the upcoming Honor V8 may be a straight-up flagship phone. It’s got the specs of one anyway. We won’t know the price until Huawei officially launches the phone on May 10th though.
Here’s what we do know: the honor V8 showed up at China’s TENAA website recently, complete with pictures of the front, back, and sides of the phone and a description some of the most important specs:
- 5.7 inch, 2560 x 1440 pixel display
- 2.3 GHz octa-core or 2.5 GHz octa-core processor options
- 4GB RAM
- 64GB storage + microSD card slot
- 3,400 mAh battery
- Dual rear cameras with laser autofocus and dual-tone flash
- Android 6.0

Good specs on paper. It will be interesting to read first hand reviews, regardless if the phone ever comes to our shores. Hope it comes in other colors. The resolutions of today’s phones just baffles me. It may look good on spec sheets to some, but all I see is reduced battery life. 1920 x 1080 is plenty at this screen size. Oh well, whatever sells I guess.
Might be nice if it uses Snapdragon 652. It suppose to be more powerful I think than the SD 801 in my OPO.
Keep in mind of Google VR, higher will be better, plus if you got side by side comparison you can see the difference in screen quality.
Not sure why but pretty soon I will have to stop clicking on the latest greatest from China since it pretty much not compatible for US LTE
