Best time to buy the Honor 8

[lumivalo]

Pre ordered from B&H Photo. $399 no tax, expedited shipping, $50 gift card, and Garmin Vivofit 3 fitness band. Thought about ordering from Honor and saving $50, but with taxes on HiHonor it was worth the extra $16 to get the extras from B&H.

Nice!

I'll be throwing the fitness band up on Craigslist.

Or you could give it as a gift...

Is Honor 8 worth getting? How different is it from 7?

I'd say yes the 8 is well worth it.
Lots of positive first looks so far.

Wait till a few of us here get the phone in the coming weeks for more.

You may want to check a site like GSMArena for a comparison between the 8 and 7.

The honor 8 is being called the US version of the Huawei P9.

It is pretty much similar to the Huawei P9 without the Leica branding and slightly slower processor. Pretty good value in my opinion.

Indeed.

Bought mine from honor and paid $349.

What extras did you get?

 

[runtohell121]

^I don't think there's any extras currently besides the $50 discount that some people have.

Looks like a drop in price for the 8 coming on the 10th.
Good time to grab the 64 gig model if they're actually available from Newegg, Amazon and Best Buy on the sale day.

Looks to be more of a sale than a permanent price drop. Hopefully it will be available at the honor store and the coupon will stack, but probably not

No this deal isn't a permanent price drop.
Tipped to the editorial staff I don't know if they will acknowledge or not.

They get lots of tips, I am sure that they appreciate all the tips but don't have time to respond to all

And also B&H Photo has a sale too (same amount off) with extra accessories included for today only. They have the black and white as well.

Thanks Libra...
I checked B&H early this morning and it didn't show yet for some reason.

Looks like Honor is about the only one selling at full price.

 

[Matt Manahan]

B&H has the sale now. I placed my order around 8AM EST.

Hurry up, people, while you still can! I think B&H has the best deal b/c of the freebies included (unless someone really wants the blue one from Best Buy).

Darn. I was hoping to use the$50 coupon with the lowered price
