DetroitBORG did a fairly decent review on this phone, not a bad phone at all.

there is lot of added features bt it resembles more of ios than android

it may not be stock android but at least it isn't a shameless apple ripoff. EMUI 5 comes out sometime in October or November since the honor 8 is new it should get the update almost immediately

Here's another review from mobiletechreview
The device is superb for me, bit the UI is the only downside, a custom ROM should fix it
Here is my take on the Honor 8, with camera samples and a camera shootout with the iPhone 7 Plus

Good review to see. Especially that photo Church of St Michael & All Angels - (auto + filter) is very nice to see.

Rumors were that it will have metal frame and changeable back covers, fingerprint scan on the back.. So this looks like it.

What are you talking about, There is OnePlus 2 under OnePlus One on that photo, they shared that to show that OP2 is smaller device than OPO, and still have 5.5" display, but thinner bezels.
Yupp thats it. Ugly.

idk. i searched and i guess this can also be a clue on what it might look like.
the layout might be right with the finger print reader on the back and of course the usb type c port on the bottom

Yeah, it looks a lot like the Moto X design, but it seems pretty likely that it'll be that. This is at least according to what the case designs look like on some sites.

Currently traveling right now; this camera's been pretty fantastic.
Cologne Cathedral
Here's a shot I took in Cologne of the cathedral. I think it really shows the incredible contrast levels that are possible with the Honor 8.

I'm a new member so I can't post links so ^_^
Let's gather all the great "Did you know?" facts about Honor 8!
I'll start with what was a pleasant surprise for me:
1. Did you know flash optimized f2fs filesystem is used for internal storage? (why that is impressive? )

Updating the list with new findings:
Did you know...
2. Starting with EMUI 5 default camera has gained support for RAW format?
3. You can take a quick shot by double pressing volume down? (with the screen being off)
4. Kirin 950 (the SoC used in honor 8) Geekbench 4 multicore score beats exynos 8890 and Snapdragon 821?
what does that do
Did you know that on Honor and Huawei devices, it plays ambient music when it snows?

Gives you better disk I/O performance.
XDA and anadtech measured the OP3 transition from ext4 to f2fs and mentioned noticeable improvement:

Not joking! I'm not sure how to reproduce It, but it happens when it is snowing. So if you're somewhere snowy, watch out for it!

Could it be this? This is the inbuilt weather app. I've never heard a thing and I live in the Midwest. I'll turn it on and see if it plays.

We had quite some snow for a few days and I opened the weather app, had this tones on and plugged my headphones, but no sound did I hear.. I'm on beta though.
By the way, I think the tones option is related with app background colors, not sounds.
I just found out these two things were possible in my Honor 8. At least in EMUI 5.0
1. Lockscreen wallpaper scrolling.
2. and Lockscreen shortcuts pull up bar.
Probably I'm the only one that didn't know about this. Oh well, is my very first Huawei phone, not counting my wife's Honor 5x which she does not let me touch it at all. I wonder why?

why you dont like the s8+ ??
Slow charging , looks like qc2
Very narrow width
Feels like the inside of an obelisk
I'm not impressed with the curved edges
I'd prefer something like the mi mix
It's not bad.
It's just not outstanding.
Plus severely hyped.

I don't like to imagine such a place, Seriously, it is the fact that they are abandoning a good part of their core (especially here where an inexpensive rootable device is valued.

I think this all started when Huawei was rejected for putting devices in the big carrier stores and on plans. Now, they see the success the OT6T is having, and they are even more desperate to "prove themselves" to the US market that determined them a security risk before.
