Not long after we finally saw Huawei‘s latest flagship P9 smartphone, honor has pulled the covers off its latest flagship device, the honor V8 and it’s chock-full of some awesome specs.
The new V8 is a beefy device, packing a massive 5.7-inch IPS display which comes in either a full-HD or Quad-HD resolution. Inside, the smartphone is powered by a home-grown Kirin 950 processor — a half-step below the Kirin 955 chip found on Huawei’s P9 flagship. In terms of memory, the full-HD variant will come with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage while the higher-spec QHD variant ups the storage to 64GB.
In terms of optics, the V8 gets two 12-megapixel sensors on the back with laser autofocus and f/2.2 lenses. On the front, it gets an 8MP f/2.4 selfie snapper. These cameras seem awfully similar to those on the Huawei P9 with one notable difference — the missing Leica badging.
There is also no mention about whether the dual cameras differ in specifications from each other (the P9, for example, has one monochrome sensor and one RGB sensor) but they do have large 1.76-micron pixels which are rather large. This should translate to better imaging in low-light conditions.
The full-metal smartphone also sports a fingerprint sensor on the backplate which covers a large 3,500 mAh battery which charges via a USB Type-C connector.
As far as connectivity is concerned, all models will support LTE connectivity, ac WiFi, Bluetooth 4.2 and GPS. However, support for NFC will vary depending on the model. Pricing for each device is as follows:
4GB RAM/32GB storage, Full HD display – CNY2,299 (around RM1,430)
4GB RAM/32GB storage, Full HD display, NFC – CNY2,499 (around RM1,555)
4GB RAM/64GB storage, Quad HD display, NFC – CNY2,799 (around RM1,742)
