Beautiful phone, but it's already running with an outdated Android version 6. Hopefully it can be updated.

@bradenhamm Any android phone, including the flagships, you purchase today, like Samsung S7 runs Android Marshmallow. Honor has said Nougat is coming to Honor 8 on Feb 2017, same time other flagships are receiving the update as well. So, not bad.
@bradenhamm They say February we'll get Nuget. Nuget notifications are the only thing I really miss from my Nexus 6P, otherwise its a pretty great phone. Especially for the price.
@bradenhamm Android N beta has been available for awhile and will be released soon.
I really wish smartphone makers would stop pushing fingerprint readers. It's too easy for police to demand that you unlock your phone with your fingerprint, whereas in many countries they cannot demand your passcode.

@dereksilva good thing with this phone is that the fingerprint scanner doubles as a smart key. You don't have to configure a fingerprint ID but just use it as a smart key.

Surprised this wasn't hunted yet. Gorgeous smartphone with glass finish, dual-lens camera, dual sim, fast charging and equipped with the fastest fingerprint scanner that also doubles as a smart key. All this in an affordable price. I used one for a while and I was amazed at its performance and battery life as well. Well worth the price tag! Black Honor 8 on its way now!
Its available in the following colors: Sapphire Blue, Pearl White, Midnight Black and Sunrise Gold. Midnight Black being my favorite.

Here is a photo I took today. The dual-lens camera is very promising! - https://goo.gl/photos/nkHZYi6rKQ...
Just got this phone a few weeks ago, and really love it. Happy to answer any questions if anyone need to know specifics
Great phone looks like a third party Samsung without the Samsung. One issue is the branding in the frontside, that annoys me.

@nivo0o0 Black Friday had great deals. Amazon still has great deals on this phone $289 for 32GB: https://www.amazon.com/Huawei-Ho...
HONOR Play is not beautiful but smart for game players, just as three variants in Veitnamese site: https://www.hihonor.com/vn/produ...
@mikengarrett Honor is Huawei's budget line. As solid as the hardware is, Huawei's EMUI Android skin and their extreme power management methods to save battery means you will need to alter a great deal of settings to resemble the experience that you would otherwise get on most other Android smartphones from leading OEMs.
Was deciding between this and the OnePlus 3 and settled on the OnePlus. Both amazing phones for $400
Huawei's invested lots in their R&D, 2017 is definitely going to be big for them!
