Huawei Honor 8S and Honor 10 – comparison of parameters

Model design

Both smartphones look harmonious; designers eat their bread for a reason. Honor 8S has 3 colors: gold, blue and black. Honor 10 is available in colors: green, black, blue and gray. Honor 10 receives from us for the number of color options presented.

Display

Our beauty is equipped with a 5.7-inch IPS matrix with a resolution of 1520 by 720 pixels, an aspect ratio of 19:9 and a pixel density of 292 ppi. If you are upgrading to the 8S from a more expensive device, you will immediately notice the display’s disadvantages - you can find fault with the sharpness of the picture, low saturation and the wide range of colors covered in cool colors, which makes the image a little blue. But for the entry-level price segment, the screen here is very, very good. It has pleasant color rendition, normal viewing angles and a decent amount of brightness. True, on a sunny day you still have to cover the display with your hand; the glass glares quite a lot.

Traditionally, the proprietary EMUI shell offers the owner the opportunity to customize the screen to suit his taste. It is possible to hide the drop-shaped notch, adjust the color temperature and night mode, the inclusion of which reduces blue light emissions, so that when using the phone in the dark you will have less eye fatigue. The minimum brightness threshold allows you to read the screen quite comfortably at night.

In general, the average user who is not spoiled by expensive smartphones will like the 8S display.

Size, thickness and weight

For reference: there are 2.54 cm in one inch.

Everyone has their own idea of ​​the ideal display size. For some it is important that the phone easily fits into a jeans pocket, for others it is important to view photos. Returning to the compared models, we note that the screen size of the Honor 8S is slightly smaller than that of its opponent. The weight and thickness of the phones are different: Honor 10 is slightly thinner, while Honor 8S is slightly lighter.

If you like the large screen of the Samsung Galaxy A12, but don’t like that the smartphone is so heavy

The Samsung Galaxy A12 has an impressive 6.5-inch screen with narrow bezels and HD+ resolution (720 x 1600). But the smartphone also weighs a lot, more than 200 grams. If you are afraid that your hand will get tired, consider its younger brother - Samsung Galaxy A02s , which costs a couple of thousand less.

With the same dimensions and battery size, it weighs almost 10 grams less, and you can feel it when you hold it. The Qualcomm SDM450 Snapdragon 450 processor can also be considered a plus, although it is an old, but very successful version of the chipset. The downside is a much more modest triple camera with 13+2+2 megapixel lenses.

Processor frequency, memory capacity, operating time

This section presents a block of data that allows you to understand how significant the difference in performance is.

It's up to you to decide - for some, the duration of operation without recharging is more important, for others, the speed of operation and memory capacity.

Autonomy and additional characteristics

The ease of use of a mobile device is affected by its ability to work for a long time without recharging. Autonomous power supply is provided by a battery. Both models are equipped with a non-removable battery. The battery capacity of the Korean model is 3000 mAh, the opponent’s is 3400 mAh. Under loads, depending on their intensity, the energy reserve of the batteries is enough for 20 - 36 hours of battery life. Both gadgets support a fast charging system. Honor 10 charges 100% in 80 minutes, Samsung takes a little over 1 hour.

Camera specifications

For many people, photo quality is one of the most important factors when choosing a phone. Let's compare our models.

Honor 8S has a lower matrix resolution; for this parameter, Honor 10 is preferable. If you like to share your selfies on social networks, then choose Honor 10, whose front camera resolution is much better.

Cameras

Samsung Galaxy A50 is equipped with three cameras:

• Main: 25 MP, f/1.7
• Wide-angle: 8 MP, f/2.2
• Depth sensor: 5 MP

This configuration is usually used on flagships, but Samsung also proposed a similar solution in the previous A line and repeated it in the mid-range segment of 2021.

Honor 10 also has 2 cameras (the depth sensor on the Galaxy A50 is not entirely appropriate to consider as a separate camera):

• Color sensor: 16 MP, f/1.8
• Monochrome: 24 MP, f/1.8

Here you can see the now classic combination of Huawei cameras - a monochrome sensor captures light, a color sensor captures color. The information from the two cameras is then processed using software to produce a frame with a wider dynamic range and more detail than if we were photographing with a regular color camera without the aid of a monochrome camera.

Quality comparison (low light):

Subjective: The Galaxy A50's camera produces more accurate colors and better detail in low light. But Honor 10 is better in low light, and much better.

Extra options

Take your time to make your choice. Each phone has additional parameters, here are some of them.

We have made all the main comparisons. We hope you now have enough information to make your choice.

Design

Visually, the device from Samsung is no different from flagships . If for the latter this is a minus, then for the former it is a plus, because due to the lack of an obvious difference, it will seem that you are holding a more expensive device. The model is made in similar colors, with the same shape (rectangular), the front panel is almost entirely given over to the display, with a small strip on top for a dual camera and sensors. Elements on the body:

• on the right is power and speaker;
• on the left is the volume and slot for the first SIM;
• on top there is a slot for a memory card and a second SIM card;
• bottom Type-C and 3.5;
• the rear panel in the middle received a camera, flash and finger scanner.

The material of the phone is the same as before – Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and back, aluminum frame along the contour. There is an oleophobic coating, but any glass will smudge over time, so you will have to rub it.

Important! The difference between the younger device and the flagships is that the frame is matte, not glossy. It is very resistant to scratches, and even with keys in your pocket there are no marks left. This is definitely a plus.

The model has a protection class of IP68, that is, it is not afraid of water. The screen supports AlwaysOn Display technology, does not go dark during standby and displays notifications and time.

The size of the device is more than pleasant for working with one hand. There are no questions regarding assembly. The only drawback of the design is that there is no novelty. But on the other hand, there are a lot of reviews that the phone is very convenient, looks nice, and given that this is not a top segment, there is no particular point in remaking a good case.

Huawei has recently become interested in creating smartphones from glass, which, according to engineers, is created from 36 layers. The result of these manipulations is strong glass and an interesting play of light when the device is exposed to direct sunlight. It looks very nice, original and still fresh. Each layer shimmers in the sun and takes on a different shade than it originally had.

Otherwise, the device has a design that is quite familiar to a modern device.

1. Almost the entire front surface is occupied by the screen, with a finger sensor underneath it.
2. At the top there is an element copied from Apple for the camera, sensors and speaker.
3. At the bottom there is a slot for power, a speaker, and a headphone jack.
4. The right side is power and volume.
5. The left side is the SIM card slot. In the description of the model, information flashed that the device is a device for one SIM, but in Russia versions are also sold with the connection of two SIM cards.
6. At the top end there is an IR port and a microphone.
7. The back side has a protruding dual camera module and flash.

The edges of the device smoothly transition into the side frame, which is made of metal. The assembly and ergonomics of the device are excellent; there are no doubts about the quality, as well as complaints about the comfort of wearing.

Conclusion. It is difficult to identify a leader based on the “design” criterion. Both models are pleasant both visually and ergonomically. Perhaps, Samsung has an advantage in this unit due to the ability to add memory, as well as due to the presence of IP68 protection. For this reason, the point goes into the treasury of the Korean smartphone. The score is 1:0.

conclusions

We did not compare all parameters with each other, but only the main ones. According to these parameters, Honor 10 turned out to be better with 19 likes, while Honor 8S had 2. What we liked about each model:

Comparing battery life

Inside the gadgets there is a 3400 mAh battery. From this I would like to conclude that the duration of operation in offline mode will be the same. In fact, despite the identical battery capacity, there are significant differences in terms of autonomy.

The Snapdragon 845 processor, combined with optimized MIUI firmware, produces results much higher than its competitor. A device from Xiaomi can last about a day and a half without recharging, and a gadget from Huawei can last a maximum of a day. A similar situation occurs when working under load.

To speed up the charging process, the phones provide the Quick Charge 4.0 function via the USB Type-C port.
