The display measures 5.2 inches diagonally, and thanks to the full-HD resolution, text is razor sharp. Honor has used a good quality panel here, as colours are punchy, viewing angles are good, and sunlight legibility is also strong. You can adjust the colour temperature and toggle a blue light filter from the Settings app. There are also very thin borders on either side of the display.
Around the back, there’s the dual cameras, laser autofocus sensor, and dual-tone LED flash unit. The fingerprint sensor below is very sensitive and unlocks the phone quickly. You can also use it to lock apps, access hidden files, and perform gestures such as answering a call, taking a selfie, or even pulling down the notifications shade. Honor takes this one step further and has placed the sensor on a physical button which it calls Smart Key.
The Honor 8 aces most mundane jobs and easily handles multitasking. Even visually demanding games like Mortal Kombat X work smoothly. We didn’t face any heating issues, even during gaming, but our review unit had a bug which made the phone scalding hot every time we fired up the camera. Honor tells us that it’s most likely an isolated incident since ours was a pre-production unit, and that retail devices should work normally.
Range is bit high one cn have more features in other brands.
