The Honor 8S is an upcoming entry-level/mid-range phone. Its specs along with some official renders just leaked. While there isn’t anything special about its specs, the design, specifically the rear is pretty unique.
A lot of the phones these days look alike and it seems it is pretty difficult to stand out. However, once in a while, we see a phone that stands out from the rest. The Honor 8S is one of such devices.
[envira-gallery id=”246865″]While most entry-level/mid-range phones settle for a smooth slab of polycarbonate or metal with different sort of finishes to make them look good, the Honor 8S has a polycarbonate back with a dual-textured design.
The back is divided into two unequal halves. The part where the camera is down to the bottom has a smooth finish while the remaining half has a textured design that should make for a firmer grip. The blue is particularly my favorite. There is also black and gold variants. We wish Honor made a red one too and maybe even made the back cover replaceable, so you could easily switch between colors.
With respect to specs, the Honor 8S has a 5.71-inch IPS display with a 1520 x 720 resolution. There is a Dewdrop notch at the top for the selfie camera and the chin is a bit thick.
The phone is powered by the Helio A22 processor. There is 3GB of RAM and 64GB of storage which can be expanded via a MicroSD card slot. The rear camera is a 13MP sensor with an LED flash and the selfie camera is a 5MP sensor. There is no fingerprint scanner.
The Honor 8S packs a 3020mAh battery which charges via a MicroUSB port. There is an audio jack at the top too. It will run EMUI 9.0 based on Android Pie out of the box.
