Just got one.

Well I ordered from B&H tonight. Honor 8 64gb with some free stuff and a Huawei Watch for $549 shipped. Not too bad!

Yay congrats! What color or should I say colors?

Just went with black. I pretty much can't use any color other than black.

Not as good, but no phone is. I'm also in possession of an iPhone 7 plus, and the S7 low light performance is unbeatable. The Honor does pretty well though, and the flash is good.

Agreed. Low light settings can make quality photos difficult for any smartphone. The Honor 8 doesn't do too badly, IMO. Snapped a photo of my cat in low light last night, and it was cute! Lol.

Ooh so you got yours? First impressions please! How are you liking or not liking the white?

Yes, I got mine yesterday morning! Wasn't really able to boot it up and start using it until around 5 PM, but so far, I am really liking it! The fingerprint scanner is awesome, the keyboard is responsive, and I'm really enjoying the battery life. I was shocked at how good it was. But I'm assuming that after a couple of charging cycles, it will be even better. And I actually like EMUI, no complaints so far.

And I love the white! It's not as shiny as I expected, but it *is* white and I did slap a clear case on it immediately lool, so that does take away some of the sheen. But I really love it! My only worry is the screen - I'm going to order a screen protector today,as I can't seem to find any in stores lool. Thank you so much for asking!

Thanks for sharing! Glad to hear that you are really liking it! You're welcome! Remember that the fingerprint scanner also has programmable functions as well. I hope that you will continue to enjoy it

Thank you so much! Yes, I discovered that yesterday! I was astounded and super impressed! Lool. One press is for my Messaging app to appear, and two is for my torch to be activated. May change them later but I like it so far.

Where did you order your case from? Still unsure as to whether or not I will buy plastic or tempered glass.

Amazon. When I ordered back in September, it didn't have much but now, there should be a little more.

The Honor 8 is a fast as the iPhone 7 to me and the 8 is very similar to the 7 except for FaceTime and iMesages. For posting to Social media the pics are great for both.

 

[Kilo Oneninenine]

Duo is similar to FaceTime though.

Is duo integrated into the dialer like FaceTime and iMessage is on the iPhone?

I also prefer iMessage because texts to and from iPhones are free, since each text costs me 20 cents and most people i know use iPhones
