No need to go around the bush on the rating 8 of Honor, which contains almost all the aesthetic codes of Honor 8, already well received in the last few days. Indeed, the smartphone takes its elegance of a solid frame and end, made of anodized brushed aluminum and beautiful curves. Because yes, the Honor Note 8 is not even square and has rounded edges, but very firm and slightly pronounced. The tunic of PHABLET suits him well, especially considering the assortment of ornaments has it.

on the back, nothing more sober than the presentation by Honor: the brand logo at the bottom, the sensor fingerprints in the upper third and the bar bearing the above photo sensor.

a small very well coming band brings complete the design of the back of the smartphone. The difference with the 8 Honor? Here the PHABLET has only a single photo sensor at the back. The facade it is rather homogeneous and in line with the graphic of the smartphone. We thus find the beautiful screen sublimated a 2.5D coating and the brand logo on the lower band, just below the screen. Nothing more than that.

The layout of physical buttons is altogether traditional here too, including unlocking / locking and volume up / down on the left edge, the SIM card drawers and memory on the right. The top and bottom slices being accompanied by the 3.5mm jack and USB outputs. We’ll get there, but one thing is clear, the design of Honor Note 8 is very successful.

This is a real power debauchery Honor that we offer under the hood of his Note 8. Indeed, led by a smart Kirin 955, the PHABLET sets a high bar. The Kirin 955 is none other than a type of processor SoC, shipping 8 cores, 4 Cortex-A72 clocked up to 2.5 GHz and 4 others, less energy, clocked at up to 1.8 GHz.

This overkill CPU and especially found on the Huawei P9, is supported by 4 GB of RAM and 32, 64 or 128 GB of internal storage memory, expandable course through micro-SD slot, up 256 GB.

Two image sensors are also present, including a back 13 million pixels, unremarkable advanced by the manufacturer and the second front, 8 million pixels.

the main sensor is capable of shooting Full HD and has an OIS optical stabilization, a double LED flash with a phase detection autofocus, but also as the redmi Pro Xiaomi, geo-tagging and face detection or HDR and panorama mode.

Samsung had better keep

the climate prevailing in the smartphone market is resolutely turned towards a war without thank you between manufacturers. With a rating 8 Honor crystallizes somewhat the chances of Samsung and its Note 7, the price point of view, since the Chinese PHABLET will be launched on August 9 to 310 € in gross conversion away the 800 € that will cost the competitor south Korean. In detail, prices of Honor Note 8 will, according to the internal memory capacity onboard storage, respectively 2299 yuan in its 32-go, 2499 64 Go and 2799 in 128 go, ie 310 €, 340 € and 380 €.

All this of course, from the point of view of the technical specifications, since in terms of features, Honor Note 8 and acolytes, pale in comparison to Note 7 of Samsung. But would that be enough to justify such a price difference? We’ll know more when further tests when the smartphone will be available on the European market, and de facto French.
