The Honor 8 is the latest smartphone from Huawei's cheaper sub-brand. It's no longer as cut price as the range used to be, but Huawei has squeezed most of what was good about its flagship P9 smartphone into something that costs almost 20% less. So do you...

The Honor 8 is an excellent smartphone that balances a premium look, feel and performance with a mid-range price, which should make you question why should you pay over the odds for a top-end phone. Battery life is good, the dual camera setup produces dec...

It may seem odd that, mere months after the debut of Huawei's top-of-the-line P9 handset, the Chinese smartphone maker has essentially repurposed its flagship phone's hardware for a handset that costs half the price. But that's just what Huawei has done...

Huawei has achieved what amounts to a supply chain miracle: it's crammed nearly every high-end component of the P9, a phone that retails for well north of $600 unlocked, into a handset half the price: $400 for 32GB and $450 for 64GB. That's deserving of...

The Honor 8 is the latest flagship from Huawei's Honor sub-brand. It's a brand that typically slots in below Huawei's main phones, so in many ways the Honor 8 can be seen as a cheaper alternative to the already reasonably priced Huawei P9, but despite a f...

Honor's new flagship phone made a pretty big splash when it hit the US a few weeks ago - and why wouldn't it?A quality design, zippy hardware and two clever rear cameras make it a bit of a budget bargain. At least it does in America, where you can't buy t...
Look at the spec sheet and it's tough to see where Honor could have shaved any more off the price. The £369 Honor 8 should be stinkingly good value, even if the twin cameras are more of a novelty than must-have extra. The problem was always going to be t...

In the mid-range phone market there's a top dog: the OnePlus 3 . That phone has essentially blown the doors off what a device can provide at a £330 price point. And that, right there, is exactly the territory Honor - the subsidiary brand of Chinese superg...
