In Short
Honor 8
Honor 5C
Honor 5X
Announced on August 16th, 2016, the highly anticipated Honor 8 represents Honor's concerted biggest push yet into the U.S. and European markets. The phone continues Honor's tradition of offering value-based devices; with a price starting at just $399, this is a higher-end phone that will find itself in competition with pricier competing flagships.
The 5.2-inch display is housed in a metal-and-glass body that is available in pearl white, sapphire blue or midnight black. The dual 12MP rear cameras (monochrome + color) feature an ƒ/2.2 aperture, with an 8MP front-facing camera. It's all running Android 6.0 Marshmallow powered by an octa-core Kirin 950 processor.
