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.

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.

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?

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.
Hii
Look at the two pictures in the attachment
The Mi 6 is the fastest phone in the moment
Evan faster then Samsung S8
But look at the results for the Honor 8
I think this is great result for the Honor 8
Favorite/Least Favorite Features of the Honor 8 Pro
The Honor 8 Pro had a lot of improvements over the Honor 8. I'm curious what you guys liked and disliked about this phone, as we will most likely get an Honor 9 Pro before too long.
Favorite Features
Screen Resolution
The 1440x2560p screen resolution is perfect for the 5.7" screen size. Honor does a great job on utilizing the appropriate screen resolution for the size of the device. 1080p is is good for the Honor 8 (5.2" display) but the larger device definitely needed a higher screen resolution and I'm glad Honor implemented that.
Performance
The Honor 8 pro has yet to disappoint me with performance. The Kirin 960 and the 6GB RAM make this phone super smooth. I use it a lot for gaming and it out performs most phones that I've used.
Size
I like phones with larger screens but you can easily overdue it and make a phone too big. I think Honor made the perfect size phone (for me anyways) with the 8 Pro.
Least Favorite Features
UI
The UI of Honor phones has always been something that really bugs me. The icons are just bad, the wallpapers are bad, and the color scheme is bad. Luckily this is fixed with a custom launcher with a new icon pack, but it would be nice to see Honor redesign the way EMUI looks.
Water Resistance
I think water resistance is a must-have for any flagship phone now. It sucks that the Honor 8 Pro didn't get a water resistant upgrade.
Honor 8 Pro has been launched in India at a price of Rs (Image: Sidhharth Safaya/ News18.com)
Honor 8 Pro has been launched in India at a price of Rs 29,999. The latest Honor India smartphone was first featured in MWC 2017, in Barcelona as the Honor V9. The re-branded version in India comes with a 5.7 inch Quad HD Display with a screen resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels and a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. Weighing 184 grammes, the Honor 8 Pro measures 157.25 X 77.6 X 6.97mm and is powered by Huawei’s own Kirin 960 Octa-Core SoC. Also, the smartphone runs the latest Android 7.0 Nougat OS with an EMUI 5.0 skin on top.
The Honor 8 Pro houses a 6GB RAM and a 128GB internal storage, with an option of adding another 128GB storage using external microSD. The smartphone draws its juice from a big 4,000 mAh battery. The UPS of the Honor 8 Pro however, is its Dual Camera setup at the back. The Honor smartphone sports two 12-megapixel camera sensors at the back which combine to deliver a depth effect in photography. Both these lenses are similar, apart from the fact that one of them is strictly for monochrome effect. The Honor 8 Pro offers a plethora of Camera options to the users in the form of features like HDR, Pro Mode, Night Mode, Light Painting, 3D Creator, Slow-Motion recording and more. Honor 8 Pro also houses an 8-megapixel front camera with a f/2.0 aperture. Other features of the smartphone include Dual SIM and 4G VoLTE support.
Honor 8 Pro will be available exclusively on Amazon India in 2 colour options - Midnight Black and Navy Blue at a price of Rs 29,999
