Huawei's sub-brand Honor has today released its latest flagship – the Honor 8 Pro, which plays on a very similar level as the main brand's Mate 9 and P10 high-end models. The 8 Pro features the same Kirin 960 chipset as the Huawei handsets and combines it with a generous 6GB of RAM and 64GB of built-in storage that can be expanded via a microSD-slot.
Despite a large 4,000 mAh battery the device is very slim and the front is covered by a 5. 7" Quad-HD display.
With a dual 12MP-camera setup the camera specification is on paper identical to the standard Honor 8 but the new Kirin chipset's more powerful Image Signal Processor should slightly improve image quality compared to its slightly older cousin. As on all Huawei dual-cam a monochrome and a RGB sensor are combined to optimize image detail, noise levels and dynamic range as well as produce a simulated shallow depth-of-field effect. Both lenses come with F2. 2 apertures and the camera is capable of recording 4K video. There is no optical image stabilization, though. The front camera uses an 8MP module with F2. 0 aperture.
The Honor 8 Pro has, at least at this point, been officially announced for European markets only and will cost you vMall store and will be available in regular stores from April 20.
