Huawei's cheap dual-camera phone, the Honor 8, is coming to the U.S.

The Honor 8, Huawei's dual-camera smartphone with solid specs and a price far lower than its dual-camera brother, the Huawei P9, is now available in the U.S. 

It's a 5.2-inch device with a full HD LCD screen, Huawei's Kiring 950 chip, 4GB of RAM, 32/64GB of storage (further expandable via a microSD card) and a 3,000mAh battery. 

It also has a fingerprint scanner (which doubles as a programmable button), a USB Type C jack, a headphone jack (yes, that needs to be highlighted these days), an 8-megapixel selfie cam and a set of dual 12-megapixel cameras on the back, one for color and one for monochrome photos, with the combined result (hopefully) resulting in crisper, sharper images. Though Leica is not mentioned anywhere on the device's web page, the setup is very similar to the Leica-branded setup of the Huawei P9 — see our in-depth look at that phone's cameras here.  Read more...
