Honor 8 $259 at Amazon

Although I am more interested in the Mate 10

I like the mate 10 too but i suspect that pricing would be significantly more than the Honor 9 , assuming both get released in the USA

They did rumor it to be roughly $1k retail I believe.

Wow that is a significant increase over the mate 9. Seems pretty high but let's see what they give us for the money.

Nearly double the price of the Mate 9 ugh

It's also significantly more than the s8+ if the rumors are true. It would really have to blow away the s8+ , if it were to succeed at that price in the USA

What does it need to blow the s8+ away tho ? It's gonna have a faster soc and probably better battery life. I'm sure the camera is gonna be amazing.

Because it doesn't have a name in the USA. Most aren't willing to spend a grand on a name brand that they aren't familiar with

If you're talking about the US, yah huawei isn't going to a big name in the states for a while

USA for sure. But even rotw, it will be interesting since it will be much more expensive than it's predecessor.

I agree with your comments. Lots of people aren't going to drop a huge chunk of cash on a brand they don't know/on a brand that's not "popular."

I wouldn't either. If it's just a no one brand and their price tag is 1k+ , I wouldn't even bother with that brand. If only people actually do research instead of just listening to medias.

the Android sites, espe Android Central, does give a lot of coverage to Huawei/ Honor.

Huawei really needs to improve robustness and cohesiveness of their mobile products. Currently it is far behind the competition.

BTW, Amazon's price is currently $339. I think even at $259 it is overpriced, do not expect you are getting a quality product.

You are getting a quality product.

Definitely not in my case. My Honor 8 lasted only 6 months. I do not consider this to be a quality product at all.

No phone is perfect. Even my iPhone 7 Plus has issues with apps crashing, phone just locking up and not usable without doing a force restart, and a few seconds lag sometimes when opening apps.

You can look at the galaxy and Apple forums and see people with problems as well.

You are having problems. Fair enough. People who have problems with a phone won't be happy with it and i cannot blame you. But these people exist on all phone forums, even apple or Samsung
