Honor 8 after one month - some thoughts!

[James Falconer]

First off, it's actually been a little more than a month, a month and a half probably that I've been using the Honor 8. Wanted to get that off my chest first

Second, I've got to say the phone has performed just great. Still super snappy, fingerprint sensor remains awesome, and am pleased with the photos I've taken with it. I came to it having used larger phones over the past year or so, and I have to say I've actually enjoyed the smaller size of the phone itself.

The fit and finish is holding up nicely as well. I almost never put my phones in cases, and have been using the Honor 8 'naked' from day one. No scratches or dents to be found, but I AM generally very careful with my phones (and they spend a lot of time on my desk beside me).

For everyone out there with the Honor 8 - how have you found your experience so far? Still loving it? Anything you'd change or like to see improved?

Loving mine, one of the best phones I've honestly used. Fast, good battery life, size is great. I do alternate between in a case and "naked" though, around my baby I definitely keep it in a case.

 

[Guytronic]

Better than great so far!

I do long for a 5.5 screen yet that is a very minor exception.
Fit and finish is top notch!
This is a very reliable package.
So glad I bought the 8.

Still really liking it a lot.
I'm kind of the opposite of @Guytronic in desiring smaller. I have tried a lot, and this seems to be the best in everything. I don't regret preordering at all. It is one of my favorites of the year.

Fit and finish is great. It really looks sharp especially the blue. I use a case on mine since I am accident prone. Performance is good too. I am still not a fan of emui and 5.2 is a bit on the small side but that's just my personal preference. Although I just got mine last week so who knows, things might change after I have used it for a while

I've had mine for a week now and I've never been more impressed with a new phone when I've upgraded.
I have come from a 4.7" phone, so the screen size is larger than I'm used to, but so far I think it's a perfect compromise.

Which iPhone did you come from?

Really interesting that you say this, because I would like a 4.7" phone that isn't the iPhone (really just an Android), but I do like the Honor 8 does not feel massive for a 5.2" device.

Yeah it has pretty small bezels which makes it feel smaller.

I wasn't using an iPhone as it happens. I am totally averse to IOS, every single thing about it irks me.
I was using a Samsung galaxy Alpha, I'm actually starting to think I prefer EMUI to touchwiz.

I'm still loving this phone. No major complaints. Feels nice to have EMUI set up to my liking. I've enjoyed changing themes every couple of days.

Sorry for the confusion! I don't know which tw is on it but the one that was on the note7 is much better than some of the previous iterations.
