Battery
This model uses a non-removable lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery with a capacity of 3000 mAh.
In my operating mode, the gadget functioned for 16-18 hours: about 30 minutes of calls, constant synchronization with Wi-Fi (9.00 to 02.00, Twitter, mail, Skype, WhatsApp), 4-6 hours of LTE. The screen glow in this mode is 3.5 hours.
The situation with games is a little worse: the battery runs out after 3-4 hours of continuous “battle”. The video device plays for about 7 hours (HD).
“The 3000 mAh battery and Smart Power 4.0 energy-saving technology provide up to 1.77 days of battery life under normal use and up to 1.22 days under heavy use. For example, on Honor 8 you can watch online videos for 11 hours straight! 9V/2A fast charging technology delivers 47% charge within 30 minutes. And if you charge Honor 8 for just 10 minutes, the battery charge will last for 2 hours of talking or 6 hours of audio listening.”
It seems to me that for many users a short screen glow time will be critical. In my case, the maximum value was 3.5 hours. In addition, we must take into account that the brightness of the matrix backlight was set to “Auto”.
Design
Among all the companies that have occupied a significant share of the mobile market, it seems that Huawei is the most willing to use the fashionable metallic design of its gadgets. Huawei Honor Note 8 was no exception, which looks great in a metal case, available in three color options: gray, silver and gold.
It is worth noting that a large diagonal is both an advantage and a disadvantage. After all, placing such a solution in a pocket will be problematic, and the device does not fit as comfortably in the hand as classic five-inch phones. Perhaps for this reason, the developers tried to reduce the body by any available means. As a result: the touch keys had to be removed from the front panel, the frames had to be minimized not only on the sides, but also on the top and bottom, and the fingerprint sensor was placed on the back, as is practiced by most Chinese manufacturers.
Design, dimensions, control elements
I can confidently say that the new product is the most beautiful among all smartphones in the Honor line, if not among all Huawei gadgets. Yes, it displays some features of the Samsung Galaxy S6/S7, in particular, the mirrored “back”, but it is made even more original if we are talking about drawing and mirror reflection.
Honor 8 has only four colors: white, black, gold and blue.
It is also worth noting that fingerprints are almost invisible, there are no greasy stains left on the surface, the oleophobic coating is of excellent quality on both the front and back sides. The finger glides smoothly and quickly over the surface. A logical question: if the surface is slippery, then the phone as a whole should slip out of your hands?
To my surprise, over several weeks of active use, I did not have a single case when the device could fly out of my palm. However, the smartphone slides down an inclined plane, especially if vibration is turned on for notifications and calls. Due to the sloping glass front panel, Honor 8 also does not hold up in some stands.
If we are talking about scratches and other damage to the glass, then this is inevitable: in my case, the lower part on the back side was slightly rubbed (I put the phone in a wooden holder), small scratches and one deep scratch appeared there. There are no scratches or chips on the front panel.
The sides are made of metal, they are matte and painted in the color of the phone. During the “use” they did not fray, and no external defects appeared. The sides have thin polished edges, also painted in the color of the device.
The smartphone is made from environmentally friendly materials and complies with the requirements of the RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and REACH (Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals) directives of the European Union, regulating the production and circulation of all chemicals.
Dimensions Honor 8 – 145.5 x 71 x 7.5 mm, weighs 153 grams.
It fits like a glove in your hand due to its rounded corners, sloping edges, and thin and light body. From the point of view of design ergonomics, everything is excellent in Honor.
On top of the front of the gadget there is a camera, sensors, an indicator of missed messages and a speech speaker. The speaker is loud, but, alas, there is no reserve. The timbre is pleasant, the interlocutor can be heard clearly and intelligibly.
At the bottom there is 3.5 mm, USB Type-C (unfortunately, 2.0, not 3.0), a microphone and a speakerphone. On top is a second microphone and an IR transmitter.
On the left there are metal slides for two nano-SIM or nano-SIM microSD. On the right is a power button with a textured surface and a volume rocker key. Made of metal.
On the back side there are two camera “eyes”, laser autofocus illumination, dual LED backlighting of warm and cold glow and a round fingerprint scanner, slightly recessed into the body. It is also a mechanical button.
In the settings you can set it with one press, double or long press. The fingerprint sensor works quickly, there were no problems.

Android 08/02/2018 | 0
Chinese electronics manufacturers never cease to delight fans of their branded products with various new products. As a rule, the more unusual the mobile device, the more interesting it may be to potential buyers. Guided by this logic, the Huawei Honor Note 10 smartphone was created and presented to the public. This is a huge mobile device that has a 6.95-inch screen, as well as advanced technical equipment. The smartphone is designed for all those who love bigger gadgets.
The Huawei Honor Note 10 smartphone presented to the public is equipped with a 6.95-inch Super AMOLED screen with a resolution of 2280 by 1080 pixels (FHD+), an 8-core Kirin 970 processor with a clock frequency of 2.36 GHz, Mali-G72MP12 graphics, 6/8 GB RAM and 64/128 GB of permanent flash memory, a slot for installing microSD memory cards up to 256 GB inclusive, dual 16 MP main and 13 MP front cameras, as well as a 5000 mAh battery with support for the fast charging function Super Fast Charge (5V /4.5A).
The dimensions of this mobile device are simply amazing, because it has dimensions of 177 x 85 x 7.65 mm, while it weighs 230 grams. There are Bluetooth 4.2 BLE modules, Wi-Fi 802.11ac (2.4 GHz + 5 GHz), NFC, USB Type-C, a slot for two SIM cards, VoLTE support, and a fingerprint scanner on the back cover. The device is priced by the manufacturer at a fairly modest amount of money, and buyers have two colors available to choose from – black and blue.
You can buy Huawei Honor Note 10 in the basic version, which has 6/64 GB of memory. It is sold for 2,799 yuan (25,700 rubles). The classic model with 6/128 GB is offered for 3,199 yuan (29,300 rubles), but the flagship model is sold at the highest price - 3,599 yuan (33,000 rubles). It boasts as much as 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of permanent flash memory. Pre-orders for the phone have already begun, and its sales in the Chinese market will begin tomorrow, August 3.
It is expected that it will be possible to purchase this mobile device with a huge screen in other countries of the world, and not just in China, where it was presented. Huawei promises to announce the release date in Russia, Europe and other regions later. Earlier it became known that all owners of Huawei smartphones were deprived of one of the most necessary applications.

The maximum brightness of white color is 400 cd/m2, the maximum brightness of black color is 0.47 cd/m2, contrast is 850:1.
The brightness graph is within normal limits, the gamma is excellent (around 2.13), judging by the color levels, there is a clear dip in red, the temperature is within 9100 – 9900 K. The data obtained exceeds the values of the sRGB triangle. This means that the colors will be rich and very bright.
The matrix of Honor 8 has excellent performance, the only negative is that the black values are somewhat too high, that is, the black color is not pure.
The device has an eye protection mode that reduces the level of UV radiation from the screen and prevents eye fatigue when using the smartphone for a long time.

Cameras
In this section, it’s worth taking you to the article about Huawei P9, since it is there that the essence of the two built-in cameras is discussed. Honor 8 also has two cameras, two flashes and laser autofocus. The only difference, it seemed to me, is that the P9 and Honor 8 use different camera modules.
When shooting during the day (12-12 MP, f2.2 aperture) on the Honor 8, the dynamic range is extremely wide, you don’t even need to turn on the HDR mode: there are practically no dark, undetailed areas in the photo, or light areas without information. The colors and white balance are excellent. Focusing accuracy and speed are high.
When the lighting level is insufficient, it is noticeable that the matrices are weak, noise appears, and the picture may become somewhat soapy. However, even at night the colors remain rich and accurate, and the DD remains wide.
The Honor 8 smartphone shoots FullHD video at a maximum frame rate of 60. The quality is average, focusing is fast, the sound is clear (stereo).
The device takes selfies (8 MP, f2.4 aperture) at a relatively wide angle (for example, in the Samsung S6/S7 - wider). The frames come out normal and cannot be compared with the Huawei P9 Plus. The video is recorded in 720p.
There is a background blur function. But I practically didn’t use it, since it doesn’t work very reliably and often “washes” the wrong areas.
In the camera settings you will find manual parameters: shutter speed, ISO, focus, white balance. From the locked screen, double-press the volume down button and get a shot (with autofocus) in just 1.2 seconds!

Communication capabilities
The device works not only in 2G (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)/3G networks (HSPA up to 42 Mbit/s), but also 4G CAT 6:
- 4G TDD LTE:Band 38/40
- 4G FDD LTE:Band 1/3/7/8/20
Now attention! The device was equipped with two radio modules! Frankly speaking, I can’t name a single modern smartphone with such a thing.
The gadget has implemented the “Signal” function - improves the quality of signal reception. Another feature is “Wi-Fi”. The gadget automatically connects to the most stable and powerful network (either mobile data or Wi-Fi).
I noticed this unpleasant feature (again, I don’t know if this is related to the phone or the firmware): the device switches to receiving the EDGE signal and does not want to see 4G. Rebooting the phone helps. Fortunately, this rarely happens.
There is also NFC (paying for purchases at the checkout works), the rest is standard for any expensive Android smartphone: GPS and GLONASS, Wi-Fi b/g/n/ac (2.4 and 5 GHz), Bluetooth 4.2 BLE, USB 2.0 with OTG support.

Supported by all modern smartphones and many mobile phones. Bluetooth v4.2 Bluetooth is a universal wireless interface for exchanging data between various types of devices at close range. Can be used for file transfer, audio streaming, network connection, printing and other purposes. The newer the version, the greater the speed and number of supported profiles. Navigation GPS, A-GPS, Glonass, Beidou For at least 10 years, smartphones have supported the geolocation function using data from satellite navigation systems. At the moment, these are the American-developed GPS, the Russian GLONASS, the Chinese BeiDou and the European GALILEO. As a rule, smartphones support the first two and optionally the rest. NFC No The built-in NFC module of a smartphone is mainly used for contactless payment in applications like Google Pay and Samsung Pay. Can also be used to read data from contactless cards, transfer files, etc. Read more here. Infrared port No Some smartphones have a built-in IR port. In the past, it was used to synchronize data both between two mobile phones and between a phone and a PC. However, now, due to its low speed, the infrared port is used mainly to control external devices in remote control mode. FM radio No Built-in radio receiver that allows you to listen to radio stations operating in the FM range. In most cases, it only works when headphones are connected, since the wire is used as a communication antenna. However, there are devices with a built-in antenna. 3.5 mm audio No Standard audio jack for connecting wired headsets and headphones. Starting in 2021, some smartphone manufacturers, following Apple, began to abandon it. In this case, to connect regular headphones, you need a special adapter for Lightning/USB Type-C.

Multimedia
Honor 8 has one speaker. The speaker itself is very loud and of high quality, at the level of Meizu Pro 5, Samsung Galaxy S6/S7. However, all notifications are quiet, that is, their volume is approximately two times lower than the real one. Probably a problem either with the firmware or with a specific sample.
Many people asked me on social networks about the sound quality in Honor 8. I can’t please you: the sound is not very good, as there are not enough lows and cleaner highs. PowerAMP doesn't help much either. The volume in the headphones is high.
Filling
The Kirin 955 processor is responsible for the performance of the mobile phone - this is a processor that Huawei itself developed, so there are no problems with hardware optimization. The processor operates on eight cores, which are divided into two clusters - the first operates at a frequency of 1.8 gigahertz and saves energy, and the second operates at 2.5 gigahertz and provides tremendous performance in games and applications.
So in terms of power, this smartphone has practically no equal - only flagships with the same cool processors. The performance of the mobile phone will be supported by 4 gigabytes of RAM. This is enough for a modern product, even I would say with a large margin, which will allow you not to worry about applications running in the background.
Technical content and performance
The smartphone is a real gaming “monster”, offering impressive top-level internal hardware, the main component of which is the powerful 8-core Kirin 970 chip, generously seasoned with 6 or 8 GB of RAM. The processor houses two clusters – Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A73 at 1.8 GHz and 2.4 GHz. The Mali-G72 MP12 module easily handles graphics. Honor Note 10 has no problems working with any games, confirming its title as a gaming device. There are three versions in terms of memory capacity - 6/64 GB, 6/128 GB and 8/128 GB. Even the initial version looks very tempting. And if you don't have enough storage, install a microSD card.
In addition to the excellent hardware, Huawei engineers decided to pamper users with their new feature - the CPU Turbo and GPU Turbo functions for overclocking the processor and graphics core to speed up games. Its activation, as already mentioned, occurs using a button on the case. It is worth mentioning THE NINE technology, which provides liquid cooling using a built-in heat dissipation tube. The device does not become overheated, which means that the processor will not drop frequencies after prolonged gaming.
In AnTuTu, the device scores approximately 180 thousand points, only slightly inferior to models with Snapdragon 845. The device is also well equipped in terms of communication capabilities. Perhaps, to complete the picture, an infrared port is missing. But there is NFC, in addition to the standard Bluetooth, Wi-Fi dual-band and GPS. A wide range of sensors is complemented by an excellent fingerprint reader, there are no questions about it.
Positioning
In July this year, a smartphone called Honor 8 (a sub-brand of Huawei) was announced. It seems to me that the device is, first of all, interesting from the point of view of appearance: glass with a mirror effect and rounding 2 is used on the front and back sides.
From the point of view of technical characteristics, everything is excellent here: a powerful processor, a “sea” of RAM, and a capacious battery. Separately, it is worth mentioning that Honor 8 inherited a dual camera from Huawei P9. Of course, it is simpler, but it performs the main functions well: blurs the background and expands the dynamic range.
The positioning of this model is simple - the flagship among the Honor line for those who are interested not only in parameters, but also in the design of the device.
The Honor 8 smartphone with 32 GB of internal memory costs 28,000 rubles, with 64 GB – 30,000 rubles.

The new flagship was purchased to replace the old Huawei Honor X2 (aka Mediapad X2), I wanted to get even better photos from it, more internal memory and of course the modern Kirin 955 processor; an honest 2K screen is also expected to be a big plus for the eyes!! Screen size 6.6 many will think about how big this is? but after my 7.0 screen this is a small thing for me
