The micro usb port has been replaced by the newer USB Type C, while quick charging has been included in the package as well. Standard headphone/earphone users can breathe a sigh of relief as you do get a standard headphone jack in the honor 8 as well.
All in all, I don’t see Huawei cutting too many , or any corners in terms of design, as the device looks and feels completely premium. A sure must have for someone looking for a good looking device.

Display
On the display side, the Honor 8 features a 5.2 inch Full HD display with a pixel density of around 423 ppi. Now , for those who are new to this, the human eye generally saturates at 300 ppi, so a pixel density as high as this is not perceivable directly. The only way you can really get a look at the bumped up pixel density is when you zoom into text. In this case, the text and images appear very crisp, and the overall experience is a visual treat. Huawei have also included an “Eye Comfort” feature, which reduces the harshness of the colours at night, making it easy on the eyes.
The Auto brightness could use some tweaking as the adjustment shows a bit of a lag sometimes, but its not something that will impede normal use.
