So, stay with me as we look closely at the new piece of tech from Huawei.
Huawei Honor 8C Quick Review
When you look at a smartphone, the first thing you notice is its design. Naturally, we’re also going to starting from there. A first glance at the Huawei Honor 8C presents you with a rectangular-shaped notch at the helm. The notch bears the front-facing AI-supported 8MP camera as well as some sensors & the earpiece.
Heading to the base of the phone, a chin is noticeable. This chin has the ‘honor’ inscription to clear your doubt about its brand name. At the rear, two beautiful looking cameras (13MP + 2MP) are arranged vertically in the top left corner of the device. Towards their right, the fingerprint is placed to execute its security roles duly.
Now to the display; Huawei Honor 8C projects clear multimedia through its 6.26-inch touchscreen. The screen fashions out its crispness through 720 x 1520 pixels and 297PPI pixel density. Also, 81.9% screen-to-body ratio and 19:9 aspect ratio ensure that there’s enough screen estate to please the user.
Software-wise, Android 8.1 Oreo OS runs on the device out of the box. Since it isn’t the stock Android OS, Huawei’s Emotion 8.2 gets into the mix to customise its operations. That said, an octa-core 1.8GHz CPU clothed in Snapdragon 632 SoC functions as the heart of the phone. Adreno 506 GPU is what controls the graphics orientation on this smartphone.
The multitasking efficiency of the smartphone rests on the shoulder of the chipset and the 4GB RAM. In the other memory lane, Huawei Honor 8C has options of 32GB and 64GB. Lastly, a non-removable 4,000mAh battery is the duration stronghold of the phone.
