Below is more detail about all the changes and improvements.

Differences from Honor 8

Above it was said that the Huawei Honor 8 Pro is the older version of the simple eight. The differences between the two smartphones are significant: there is more RAM, better processor, more capacious battery. In addition, the diagonal of the device turned out more, as well as the resolution. But this is not all the differences.

The first smartphone was created from glass and metal. The back and front panels were completely glass, and in many reviews it was possible to see that this material was quite fragile before mechanical impact, or rather, it was very scratched.It’s hard to say whether this fact influenced the creators of the device, but the Pro version got back panel made of metal.

Color solutions became a little less. The white color is gone, and now the Honor 8 pro smartphone can be bought in gold, black or blue. They all look beautiful and against the background of numerous devices of the same color from other manufacturers stand out in the best direction.

Appearance

Given the diagonal, the phone was not the smallest. The thickness of 7 mm is quite acceptable, and given the fact that a capacious battery was placed under the case, it is a victory in general. If we talk about design, it is not revolutionary. it standard 2.5D glass front and brushed metal on the back. At the same time, everything in the complex looks beautiful and personable.

On a note! In the sun, the transition from glass to metal shimmers beautifully, and, best of all, a telephone in the sun does not change color. A similar problem was observed in Samsung, where the device in green at different angles looked light green or black.

The front panel has a thin frame between the case and the display. On the side they are only 3.5 mm. Location of controls following.

1. Above the display - the speaker, camera, sensors.
   
2. Under the display is the brand name. The buttons back, menu, home - touch and are directly at the bottom of the display.
   

3. The location of the tray for the sim and control buttons is standard. The first is on the left, the second is on the right.
   

4. The upper end is an infrared port and a headphone jack.
5. The bottom end - a connector for power, speaker, second microphone.
   
6. The back panel is in the upper left corner a double camera on a black backing and laser focus. Lower down is the finger scanner. In addition, the top and bottom widths of the back panel are plastic inserts for antennas. They are painted in a darker color compared to the body. The overall impression does not spoil it and even makes the device more interesting.

To find fault with the assembly is difficult, everything is done very precisely. The quality of the metal is very good, it is fairly scratch resistant. In many reviews, the Honor 8 Pro pointed to the fact that even without a case, the phone is very reluctant to scratch. The second important point is high quality oleophobic coating. On this occasion, there are a lot of jokes on the network that Huawei mixed up the devices and made an 8-pro display resistant to prints instead of P10 plus, the latter in this regard turned out to be very poor-quality. In fact, there is no coverage.

Display and battery

The diagonal of the phone is quite serious - 5.7 inches. Not surprisingly, the manufacturer chose the resolution version of QHD, which looks very nice on such screen sizes. From the point of view of color reproduction, the only question that arises is to black color - it is transmitted not too correctly.. But do not forget that the matrix here is IPS, and this imposes some restrictions, in contrast to Samsung matrices like Amoled. The rest of the display is good. High-quality anti-reflective coatingThere is an eye protection mode.

Huawei Honor 8 Pro received a more capacious battery in comparison with the younger model. It would seem that the difference in autonomy should not be, because this phone is bigger, but the numbers speak for themselves.

1. 32-33 hours of work in the mode of average loads when connecting to the network via Wi-Fi.
2. When switching to a mobile network, the efficiency of the battery drops, and it sets in about 12 hours, but there is still about 30%.

In general, the indicators are such that device is enough for a working day.

Memory processor

The device has an impressive amount of RAM - 6 gigabytes. This is a serious meaning that is really visible.The phone does not slow down and does not refresh the page, if you do other things for a while, and then return to the browser. This was observed in Honor 8.

Important! The main storage in the smartphone Honor 8 Pro - 64 gigabytes. At the same time, if desired, you can add another 256 gigabytes, while only one SIM card will remain available.

The processor - its own eight-core Kirin with the separate work of the cores in quadruple shows good numbers in the tests, in particular - gaining about 128 thousand balls. There are no questions to work on it, all games are started, work without bugs and brakes. The case is not heated during loads.

Camera features

Honor 8 Pro dual camera, has a laser autofocus and generally shows good quality photos. But if we carry out a comparative analysis of this phone and the P9 plus model, then the victory will be the last. Of the minuses that are really noticeable when working with the camera - the blurring of the background is not always correct. But here, as practice shows, the ability of the photographer himself to use this function plays a role. Many owners of SLR cameras say that they have not encountered any difficulties with blurring or noise in the photo.

A completely manual mode called pro appeared in the device, but it was very difficult to work in it without knowledge in the photo-workshop. Video quality at a decent level.

On a note! An interesting feature was the simulation. If you shoot a person from four sides, then the Honor 8 Pro phone will create a model by itself. You can wear it, choose a hairstyle, and then save the picture in GIF format. In general, the function has an entertaining character.

Conclusion

Summarizing all the above, we can safely say that in its price segment it is one of the best devices. Find the minuses here is very difficult, and their presence will be more likely a nagging than a real fact. Of course there will be those who, for whatever reason, will be dissatisfied with the device, but according to numerous estimates and reviews, the phone has turned out to be very balanced, and it will definitely find its user. This is one of the few models that is worth every ruble spent.
