Design and Display
As for the design, the Huawei Honor 8C has what you’d call a standard modern budget look. There’s the notched screen and small bezels but you can still tell that it is inferior to that on high-end smartphones.
You have a two eyed camera at the back located at the left side with flash below it. You’ve also got the fingerprint scanner right where it should be with the power and volume key at the right side of the phone.
In the display department, there’s a low-tier screen which is placed there to cut costs. On that notion, it is the same with the rest in its league, however, the screen size is definitely on the high-side. With a notch on top, the display goes to about 6.26-inch and has the resolution is set at 1520 X 720 pixels.
Battery and Camera
The Huawei Honor 8C relies on a fairly large battery to power it up as far as smartphones are concerned especially budget ones.
Carrying a 4,000 mAh battery, you can do quite a lot on the smartphone and it will still be on at the end of the day without plugging it in. There’s no fast charge on the smartphone neither is there a USB Type-C port instead you’ve got a MiicroUSB port.
Concerning the camera on the smartphone, there is a norma budget sensor despite the dual nature of the rear camera. On the front porch, there is an 8MP camera handling your selfies with a dual 13MP and 2MP camera on the rear side.
Hardware and Software
There is a fairly decent chipset ticking away inside the Huawei Honor 8C which you can say in a way is a mid-range type. The Adreno 506 GPU joins the Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 processor on board.
Also, there is a 4GB RAM and either 32GB or 64GB storage space. Expansion of the storage can be made up to 256GB by utilising the memory card slot. You also get Android 8.1 Oreo alongside the standard EMUI skin you have on Huawei phones.
