Honor 8 Smart got launched today for a price tag that is nearly double than that of Honor 5C.
What is there in Honor 8 smart for the doubled price ?
1. Both Honor 8 Smart and Honor 5C has Kirin 650 processor. Processor in Honor 8 smart is clocked at 2GHz and the one in 5C clocked at 1.7GHz.
2. Honor 8 Smart has NFC which 5C doesn't have in its indian variant (NEM-L22)
3. Honor 8 Smart has Dual tone Flash compared to the single tone flash in 5C
4. Honor 8 Smart is equipped with Gyroscope which Honor 5C and even 5X don't have.
5. Honor 8 Smart doesn't support FM radio which is supported by 5C
6. Honor 8 Smart supports single-SIM (Nano-SIM) slot unlike 5C which supports dual sim.
7. Honor 8 has HiSilicon Hi6402 24-bit DAC, Smart PA amplifier for audio amplification which is not there in 5C.
8. Both Honor 8 smart and Honor 5C will be upgraded to EMUI 5 (Nougat)
All other things such as battery, camera, RAM, internal, 4G support are same in Honor 8 Smart like 5C.
So decide your preference and get the one which suits you well.
24-bit DAC is a welcome feature :good:

This seams to be true for the indian version of the phone, where the Honor 8 smart was released too, but for example the european Honor 5C (NEM-L51) has NFC.
Maybe provide links to the exact compared phones or the model number for better comparison. Thanks

Thank you. I have updated the post now based on tour info.
If they do have the same RAM, battery and camera, it's not worth it
I will actually prefere 5C in here.

Now 5C costs less i.e 140$ (Rs8500) this festive season in India. A great buy for a good spec.
Wrong info "Honor 8 Smart has Kirin 950 processor clocked at 2GHz" is not True, it has SAME Kirin 650 processor clocked at 2GHz as in 5C clocked at 1.7GHz!! Check "https://store.hihonor.com/in/honor/smartphones/honor-8-smart" site for reference!! So Stupid mess of a phone by Huawei!!!

Cool buddy... I have updated the post...
Sorry for the misinformation.
BTW, this Honor India's Honor 8 smart page was not there while creating this post...
So got the info from other sites rather than the official one.
5c sounds like the better deal, for double the price a slightly higher clocked cpu shouldnt really affect performance that greatly considering they're the same chip. How much are they?

Help me decide guys, what do you think about the mate 9? The v20 only cool thing for me is the wide camera, but the mate 9 looks so nice..
I'm starting to hate LG, the phone is still not released in my country and I'm getting more choices everyday, I hate choosing!
I asked the same thing last week, and didn't get much response.

I'm waiting for the unlocked US996 V20 to come out, and also to see how the Mate 9 stacks up.
there some report that mate9 support sprint but if it really do I will definitely look at it
Great design. This phone lost me at 1080P screen.
Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk
1080p screen = pass imo. V20 wins
Really? At this point anything past 1080p is just a difference in epenis status and brag rights.
The only point in higher resolution is for vr, but because the screen is IPS it wouldn't be supported anyways.
I was worried about the 1080p too, and a lot, but when I checked last year's mate 8, it was still gorgeous, I don't think I'd see a difference without VR
I'm thinking of Huawei Mate 9 because the V20 isn't available in the UK. Can a 1080 screen still be used by Google's daydream?

No problem with the screen resolution.
If Huawei software wasn't that awful, I might consider this Mate 9. But their Emui is unbearable.

Each to their own, Emui is actually very good and the Mate 8 was a mile better than the v10 and I'm hoping the Mate 9 will be better than the v20. A lot of people can't get past the lack of an app drawer on Emui which they've fixed in v5 and you can always download launcher of choice.
I sold my Mate 8 in preparation for buying a Mate 9 and am stuck with my work supplied Oneplus 3 which again doesn't compare to the Mate 8.
What's so good about the Mate 8, battery life, size screen which is subjective I know, build quality etc and the Mate 9 looks like it will only be better in every way.
But, can I wait for the Mate 9 or do I try the v20 for a few weeks......
Sent from my SM-T815 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I looked into the emu i and i do like some of the feature of it but like you said ^ I probably still put Nova on it. Waiting to know if the mate9 work on sprint or waiting on better V20 promo =3....
How does Huawei do software support? My experience is that LG, while they don't provide updates for very long, tend to kick out their updates faster than others (second only to google)

If the past is any indication, LG tends to offer the best promo offers right at first and go down from there. The v10 promo was initially 200gb SD card, spare battery and battery cradle. Then it went to 64gb with extra battery and battery cradle. To just one or the other (64gb or extra battery)
Sent from my LG-H901 using XDA-Developers mobile app
In the battery department they're way different, mate 9 is miles ahead, but I'm kinda sad that all my Qualcomm quick charge accessories will be worthless if I go with the mate 9..by the way google says mate 9 is compatible with Vr.
I'm pretty sure lgs camera is better in low light, coming from S6 which I believe is the best camera yet, I can't downgrade
Thanks! Also, I've seen some Mate 9 photo/video comparisons after Huawei gave the phone to reviewers. The Mate 9 is badly in need of a software update and is obviously not working optimally. (The stabilisation for example, sucks!) So doing any kind of in depth comparison at this point is unhelpful imo, until the software update.

I think some manual tweaking to the camera settings will show what this phone can do.

The Mate 9 specs are now up
http://consumer.huawei.com/en/mobile-phones/tech-specs/mate9-en.htm
while it may work OK on T-mobile and AT&T, it is missing the proper CDMA and LTE 13 bands to work on Verizon.
Still wish they would release a US Unlocked model that would work for all the US carriers.

I've yet to see a camera comparison between the V20 and the Mate 9. But from what I've seen individually, it looks like the V20 may do better with both pictures and video.

Exactly, I don't know why no one does this, camera and battery are my biggest deciding factor
Hello everybody i have mate 9 pro and i was thinking to upgrade to p10 plus , but is it Worth it? The shop said they will buy the mate 9 pro from me for 705$ and the p10 plus costs 684$ so can someone help me to decide?
What perceived benefit do you think you'll get? Apart from microSD I can't see anything... (slightly better camera maybe)
No. Wait for Mate 10 with its Kirin 970. P10 plus definitely not an upgrade to Mate 9 pro which has larger battery and curved Amoled screen. And from the pricing as well, Mate 9 pro is considered by Huawei themselves as more higher range than P10 plus.

A good chance of seeing another 5.5 inch Mate 10pro to compete with Iphone 8 plus and other 5.5inch category phones. Unless Huawei pulls off a bezel less and the screen size become less relevant. Too early to tell. Also rumors of Honor 9 being released in a 5.5inch version in addition to the 5.1inch, in which case it would have a lot similar specs to P10 series but in a different body and cheaper price tag. But with owning a Mate 9 pro, a proper upgrade will be in Mate 10 series which will have the new Kirin 970.
Can't tell you if better than your previous phone only just upgraded from Sony Z3.... Yes I said that right I came from Z3 to the p10+. The camera is better, the internal memory 128gb is better, having Nougat straight out the box is better Z3 was left at early realise of mm, having finger Id is new to me.
The touch screen is a little unresponsive someone's I need touch screen 2 or 3 times before it acknowledges the touch.
The only major downside is I'm unable to root, which up to now all phones I've rooted.
I'm impressed by the phone and battery life, I've had phone for just over 2wks.

It's not really an upgrade, more of a side grade. I've switched from the regular Mate 9 to the p10 plus. Battery life is worse but camera is slightly better especially in low light.
Honor 6X Vs. 7X
Honor 6X
The Honor 6X is powered by the Kirin 655 and comes in 3 and 4GB RAM models. There are options for 32 and 64GB of storage. The screen has a 1080 x 1920 screen resolution at a 16:9 aspect ratio and the battery is 3340 mAh. The camera is a dual 12MP + 2MP setup.
Honor 7X
The Honor 7X has the upgraded Kirin 659 and comes with 4GB of RAM. The storage options now extend to 128GB. The screen on the 7X is now 1080 x 2160 pixels due to the new 18:9 aspect ratio. The battery is the same as the 6X but the camera is note a 16MP + 2MP setup.
Camera
The new camera is a bit of an improvement over the 6X, but is still a long way from the Honor flagships like the Honor 9. Video quality is much improved with a max resolution of 1080p. You can shoot in slow-mo at 120fps at 640x480p. There is a new feature with "effects" which is a snapchat-like filter thing.
Display
The new display is one of my favorite improvements with the 7X. This is what sets it apart from other budget phones. The 18:9 display gives you more screen and a better screen-to-body ratio. The image also has better contrast and just looks sharper overall. The screen on most budget phones is where you're going to take the biggest hit, but Honor did a great job on the 7X.
Performance
Performance is much better and instantly noticeable when navigating the system. While this phone has no-lag with basic functions and apps, this is not a gaming device. The phone struggles with intense 3D gaming just like the 6X did.
Build
The 7X has gone under a complete redesign from the previous 6X. It was given a body almost identical to the Honor 8 Pro, which i think is the best design of their Honor line-up. The phone feel premium and durable while the 6X felt much more like a budget device..

If i had the choice between a 7X or moto g5 plus, my choice was quickly made xD, althougjt the 7x is a nice looking phone tho.

If you want custom ROM support then G5 Plus is way to go!
No doubt the 7X is better, in every aspect
7x is better
Martin213 said:
Like i and said before launch the Honor 7x it's not worth the upgrade from 6x to 7x... I don't see many reasons to do that except screen size and body to screen ratio. Anyway it is one of the best device of that price range

Yes you're right, but if a person was upgrading from the 5X, it's definitely worth it.

honor 7x is better and worth a Upgrade,

I had decided on buying honor 8 lite reading the good reviews of the phone. However, I came to know Honor 9 Lite is also available, which is an upgrade over it. Reading more about Honor 9 Lite, it seems like an average phone but still it has little faster processor, Oreo out of the box and for what its worth dual cameras on rear and on front.
I'm getting Honor 8 lite (4GB+64GB conf) in same price as Honor 9 Lite (3GB+32GB). Honor 8 Lite has favorable camera reviews than 9 Lite. Good Camera and more RAM is big plus on 8 lite, however newer processor and Oreo out of box are also factors to consider for 9 lite. What do owners of Honor 8 Lite think ?
Oh and by the way, its a gift for someone non-tech, so it will be on all stock and non root all the time.
Go for the honor 9 lite...as you said it has a dual camera and it's good to add a bokeh effect if you are a photographer

Hi
I think honor 9 lite is better.
1. It supports lte cat 6 so it supports 4.5 g mobile data while 8 lite doesn't.
2. The display is better in 9 lite. The screen ratio is 18:9 and resolution is ((full hd +)) while 8 lite is 16:9 and full hd.
3. As you said if the phone will stay on stock rom so 9 lite would be a better choice since it's oreo out of box and will definitely Get Android P update( Huawei's record shows that they will send at least on major update for their phone. If we don't say definitely but we can say it has high chance to get Android p update.) . While we dont know if 8 lite will get android p or not.
4. Honor 9 lite has a newer design and it's more up to date compare to 8 lite.
5. Honor 9 lite has dual camera both on back and front. You can use
More effects. And 9 lite cameras should have more quality Compare to cameras of 8 lite.
6. The soc of honor9 lite is more powerful. (not much but it's more powerful)
I think 3 gb of rams still can do everything you want from a phone and you can expand the storage if 32 gb is not enough for you.
But you shall research more about the battery life of 9 lite
Since compare to 8 lite it got a bigger display and more powerful soc but the battery capacity is same on both phone.
