The year might be known for when Google replaced the Nexus program or how Samsung got into a disaster due to the explosive Galaxy Note 7, but it should also be remembered as the year Huawei stepped out of the shadows. From the launch of the Honor 5X at t...
So, for all intents and purposes, the Honor 8 is just a rehash of the Huawei P9, right? Wrong. While it shares many of the same components, the Honor 8 is an improvement on the P9 in my eyes. I enjoyed using the camera more and felt I achieved better resu...

Battery life "Epic" is how I would describe it, all things considered. The Honor 8 sips power and easily managed almost twice the battery life I got on Alcatel's similarlypriced Idol 4S. Granted, both the Axon 7 and OnePlus 3 have also received high marks...
EMUI I know EMUI has its fans, but I cannot stand this interface. It is an affront to Android, both aesthetically and functionally. Did you know every time you install a new app in EMUI, the system won't let it run when the display is off (i.e, sync in th...
The Honor 8 is a contradiction. For the right person, this could be a great phone. But for many, it will constitute a hardware:software trade-off that just isn't all that appealing. Underneath the kludgy EMUI and annoyingly-slippery glass exterior lie the...

This is Honor's second smartphone that's targeting the US market, and it looks like they definitely have a winner on their hands. The Honor 5X was more of a mid-range flagship at a very low price (it launched at $199 in Q1). But the Honor 8 is a true flag...
