Honor 8 Pro brings a proper flagship to the Honor brand

Well, folks, it’s finally here. Huawei has finally hooked the Honor up with a proper flagship known as the Honor 8 Pro, and boy does it sound good.

This thing is basically a Huawei P10 on steroids with the following specs:

• Display: 5.7 inch, 2560 x 1440 Quad HD display w/ Gorilla Glass 3
• Processor: Kirin 960 octa-core (4x 2.4 GHz + 4x 1.8 GHz)
• Memory: 6GB of RAM, 64GB of internal storage w/ microSD
• OS: Android Nougat w/ EMUI 5.1
• Camera: 1Dual 12MP rear, 8MP front
• Battery: 4,000 mAh (approx 1 hour 50 minutes to full charge)
• Connectivity: Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, 2.4G/5G, Bluetooth 4.2, USB Type-C, 3.5 mm headphone jack
• Dimensions: 157.00 x 77.50 x 6.97 mm
• Weight: 184 grams

Honor’s phones are typically very capable for the modest price tags they carry, and the same holds very true here. It’s going for 549 euros, which is about $585 in the US. Pricier than we’re used to from Honor, but again — consider the fact that it’s better than Huawei’s latest flagship.

The device will be available in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Switzerland.
