Just got one.

Sold my iPhone 7 plus for some extra cash. Picked this up for the meantime. Actually kind of like it. It seems quick and responsive and the camera is surprising !!

Congratulations. On the new phone!

 

[ebrandwein]

Welcome aboard. Take your time getting used to both Android and the Honor 8. The iPhone is a terrific machine but you have a lot more flexibility with your new phone.

I like it a lot so far. Pretty smooth. Love the screen.

Well the iPhone won't drop much in price over the next few months so you have time.

I am in the same boat as you BTW.

 

[manni1to]

I dig it. Sell the iPhone. Can always get another.

If you want it a bit smoother, turn on performance mode

 

[manni1to]

I don't see that option

 

[libra89]

I don't see that option

Go to Settings->Apps->Advanced Settings->Battery manager and I believe it's the second line under your battery percentage. You'll see "Smart". Tap that to change to Performance.

Yeah you can do that. But keep in mind that if you are selling on eBay for example then you would be out eBay fees, PayPal fees, and shipping fees. If course, the price keeps going down too... But point being if you are 50/50, I would wait a few weeks to see what he thinks then.

For 300 bucks this phone is a steal for sure. It's the only phone that has successfully pulled me away from my HTC 10 altogether. Hit up the XDA honor 8 thread, some pretty good themes on there. EMUI international Google plus group has a lot of great themes as well. Download EMUI theme editor and make you own if you are feeling rambunctious.

You're so right about the Google plus group. I came across it and had to close it because so many options! lol. I'm going to look sometime though and get some themes. So many choices is cool to have!

Same here, well, I bought it for my wife, but figured I should test drive the Honor 8 myself for a couple of days. Wowza, it's nice. And for the price! I have an S7 Edge on nougat, and the Honor 8 has yet to make me feel wanting to go back. Speed, camera, call and data network quality. All great.

 

[dpham00]

Is the camera as good as the s7 edge in low light?

 

[gendo667]

Just jumped on the Honor 8 on B&H Photo for $300! I kinda can't wait for it to get here.

Congrats! I hope you like yours. What color did you get?

 

[gendo667]

Opted for the black. I can't wait to see the light reflect in person. Kinda bought it on a whim too. Gotta notification about the price drop and decided to jump on it. I've been with LG for a few years now. Looking forward to something different.
