      Hello Jorge123! Thank you for the preference, it is amazing to know that your Honor 8 is giving the best performance! As you said, the innovative bionic 12MP dual lenses of the Honor 8 are your eyes to the world. One lens allows for rich color and the other lens is monochrome to give your images more light and increased sharpness. Together they help you capture crisper, more detailed photos.P.T.

      The Honor 8 is a great choice! With a 5.20-inch touchscreen display with a resolution of 1080 pixels by 1920 pixels at a PPI of 423 pixels per inch. So you're getting so much with just the touch and feel of this device. You have 153g and (5.40 oz) which keeps its light when in your hand,(JJ) HuaweiCustomerCare

    Got this phone as a backup. I like the hardware. The camera is great. The battery life is outstanding, thanks to the software. The UI is the weak point of the phone. Needs to be more stock. If it had vanilla Android, this phone would be a non-official Nexus now that we have the Pixel phones.

      We concur! The 12.3 megapixel, equipped with laser autofocus, and dual-LED (dual tone) flash, is great! As far as the issue your wrote about regarding the UI, you can switch the Huawei EMUI home screen to the Google home screen by doing the following:

      1. Download Google Now Launcher or another application (such as Arrow launcher) from Google Play.
      2. Touch Settings > Apps > Advanced > Default app settings > Launcher or Settings > Home screen style, and switch Huawei Home to Google App.

      Due to the compatibility issues between EMUI and other home screen styles, your phone screen can only return to the EMUI home screen instead of the Google home screen when it is switched back to the simple style from Settings > Home screen style. To switch to the Google home screen, perform step 2. (SP) HuaweiCustomerCare

    The Huawei 8 phone is a GREAT phone, its as if the IOS Apple system and the Android system merged and had a baby. You get the best of both operating systems for the fraction of the price of an iPhone or an Android phone.

    We bought this for my husband after his G4 had the bootlooping issue. It's great for someone who is not looking for all the fancy features but still want a fast phone with a long lasting battery. I especially love how it's not huge unlike all the flagships coming out recently.

      Thanks for the positive review on your Huawei Honor 8 Smartphone! The Honor 8 combines exclusive design and high-end craftsmanship. The premium, slick body of the Honor 8 is made with heavy 2.5D glass on front screen and back surface, finished aluminum alloy, and ultra-narrow bezel design for a much stronger body and a smooth, seamless feeling. With a 10-minute charge, Honor 8 gives you 2 hours of phone-call time or 6 hours of offline music listening. Enjoy! (NS) HuaweiCustomerCare

    Updated to Nougat as soon as I was on WiFi. No stutters no lags, crisp clear picture, outstanding feel and quality to the hardware. If you looked "real" hard you might find one or two features missing that you'd find on an $800.00 phone. For the price, quite a product!

      Thanks for the positive review on you Huawei Honor 8 smartphone. Do you want high-quality photos under macro, black light, low-light, and complex conditions? No problem for the Honor 8. The hybrid auto-focus enables laser focus for short range, precise depth focus for long range, and contrast focus — each working together to help you take better pictures in complex lighting conditions day and night.
