After a brief conversation with Honor Support, I've received confirmation that the Honor 8 Pro will have a US release. Currently, there's no release date planned, but they do plan to bring it to the US soon.

Wow that's definitely news to me. I certainly wasn't expecting this to come to the states.

Are you planning on getting one?

I'll wait for a press release.

Maybe, but it's slightly out of my budget at the moment.

How much does the pro run? I didn't think this one was coming to the US. Are you guys totally sure that it's coming?

It's entirely possible the support rep that I talked to was misinformed, but if he was correctly informed, he did verify that there would be a US release of the Honor 8 Pro.

Wise choice.

Well responses from reps tend to be varied. In my experience some tend to say whatever to please the customer to get the customer off the line. It could truly be that honor plans the pro release here but later changes their mind. With that said this is good news in that there's a chance it is coming.

Amazon will carry it. Hopefully it's not ad version.

Wow. I am really shocked. Wow. Just wow. Never expected it to land stateside.

With regards to the ad version or not, usually Amazon offers both ad and ad free versions. The ad versions are just a little cheaper. Hopefully it will be the case here

The next question is whether or not it will work on Verizon. I am guessing no but then again i wasn't expecting this to even land stateside so it is possible.

I double checked. It's Amazon India that'll be released. Need to wait again lol.

Hard to find GSM phone beside iPhone that works with Sprint and Verizon ... talk ...

Damn that sucks. But it is expected.


Samsung s7/s8( unlocked model), moto x play, moto g4/g5, Nexus and Pixel are GSM points that woek on Verizon

Also, the att and T-Mobile iPhone 7 does not support CDMA.

Since there's no timeline. Better going to hold for Samsung Note 8 vs Huawei Mate 10 Vs iPhone 8.

Any reason you are looking at the smaller iPhone, instead of the plus? I only ask because of the size of the Android phones you mentioned.

Oops. I forgot the "plus".

I saw an H8Pro about one month back. It was being black one being sold in Florida off eBay. I should have bought it.

I wonder if it was a review unit? I mean it seems unlikely that someone imported it just to sell it a short time later

I really hope that honor 8 pro releases on US. Hopefully it's not a long wait.
