- 15-layer craftsmanship and light-catching glass finish makes the Honor 8 stand out from the crowd.
Camera
More light, better pictures

- Do you want high-quality photos under macro, black light, low-light, and complex conditions? No problem for the Honor 8. The hybrid auto-focus enables laser focus for short range, precise depth focus for long range, and contrast focus — each working together to help you take better pictures in complex lighting conditions day and night.
- The built-in dual ISP improves focus, speed, and process time when you take pictures.
- Honor 8’s wide aperture mode enables you to blur backgrounds from F0.95 to F16, and you can redefine the focus even after the photo has been taken, giving you more creative control over your images.

CPU
More game, less drain
- The Honor 8 is powered by an octa-core CPU @4x2.3GHz + 4x1.8GHz built on a 16nm architecture. 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM enable flawless multitasking and seamless gaming.
- The CPU chipset contains an i5 co-processor, which controls the Honor 8’s sensors and other features. The i5 co-processor works together with the Kirin 950 SoC chipset to increase processing speed, response time, and battery life.
- The Honor 8 has a rapid, smart file-processing system for a smooth user experience.
Display
Brighter color, smarter visibility control, more details
- The Honor 8’s 5.2-inch FHD display with a 96% high color gamut (NTSC), color enhancement, and dynamic pixel-level contrast adjustment provides a better viewer experience, with vivid and crisp images.
- The Eye-Care Mode makes looking at your phone more comfortable and safe by filtering part of the blue light to reduce eye strain.
Battery
You’ve got the power and the long-lasting battery
- 9V/2A fast-charging technology reaches a 47% (from 0%) charge in just 30 minutes. So when you’re out there changing the world, the Honor 8 has you covered — with up to 10 hours of nonstop video playback and a speedy recharge.
- And with a 10-minute charge, Honor 8 gives you 2 hours of phone-call time or 6 hours of offline music listening.
Intelligent Communication

- Double antenna switch: the Honor 8 seamlessly selects the antenna with the strongest signal to ensure you always have the best possible reception.
- Smart roaming: Huawei's international carrier database enables your device to register on local networks faster when roaming.
- Smart dual-band wi-fi switching: the Honor 8 supports 2.4 GHz/5 GHz bands and defaults to the faster 5 GHz band unless the 2.4 GHz signal is stronger.
