Not surprising with the added ram. The Kirin chip has been known to beat the 835 in various tests.

See the same results when compared to the One+5

so honor 8 pro is half the price of s8 and is better in most ways India we get 128gb 6gb variant at only 30k that's around 460$ only wish would be stereo speakers as Iam planning to shift from Axon 128gb with 6gb ram version to honor 8 pro... wonder how's the speaker of honor 8 pro

I am not really shocked. Samsung usually loads the same or a hair slower when both are not in memory. There isn't really a huge difference loading normal apps.

Samsung has more aggressive memory management plus less ram so it isn't surprising that apps get kicked out of memory.

For those power users who like to open and switch between large apps extremely frequently then the Honor 8 pro and op5 are better options for sure.

I have OP5 and I am afraid that honor 8 pro will destroy my op5! Nooooo

That would be an interesting test! If you get an Honor 8 pro then you should do a speed test and let us know

Bro I am in India and has many bands.. U guys can buy from ebay.. Just check of those bands work in u.s
I am letting Axon 7 go for honor 8 pro...soo will have honor 8 pro and LG G6.. Soo far very happy with hp8
Screen with 2k is beautiful... Thou phone is bigger than axon 7 and much bigger than G6 thou both having same screen size.... Thou liking the old ratio of 16:9..and little wider screen than taller...

That same guy did an HTC U11 vs S8 and the HTC was faster, too. Guess because of all the bloat ware that Samsung loves.

Do you have a link? I checked a bunch of eBay links and they either don't list lte bands or they aren't compatible with USA lte bands...2,4,5,12,17 are the significant ones for the GSM carriers here . The only band i saw is LTE band 5 supported but that's a tertiary LTE band for att.

U can try seeing on honor India Web site there I am sure they would mention all the bands

 

[jeetu4444]

Here are the bands that I found.. This phone sells in India...
Maybe I can buy from China also which will have u.s bands also

The kirin 960 processor was built to run against the Snapdragon processors and doing a damn good job of it!

 

[DuncanBishop]

What did it cost ya, are you in the USA?
I like the look of the Honor 8 pro, I bought the Mate 9 (BestBuy refurb)..wicked phone.
Gave it to my son (birthday gift)..he's loving the BIG screen.
