Specification
The dual-SIM Honor 8 Pro runs Android 7.0 Nougat-based EMUI 5.1 out-of-the-box. The company has touted the adaptive nature of the OS in the past, and claims that 90 percent of core operations can be completed in 3 easy steps. and sports a 5.7-inch QHD (1440x2560 pixels) LTPS LCD display with Gorilla Glass 3 protection. The smartphone is powered by a HiSilicon Kirin 960 (four Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 1.8GHz and four Cortex-A73 cores clocked at 2.4GHz) coupled with 6GB of LPDDR4 RAM. Starting with the optics on the smartphone, Honor 8 Pro comes with a dual rear camera setup that consists of two 12-megapixel sensors with f/2.2 aperture, laser autofocus, LED flash, and 4K video recording. As you might expect, one sensor takes the images in RGB while the other sensor takes the images in monochrome. At front, the smartphone comes with an 8-megapixel sensor coupled with an 77-degree wide-angle lens. The Honor 8 Pro comes with 128GB of built-in storage, which is further expandable via microSD card (up to 128GB) in a hybrid dual-SIM format. The company says this 128GB variant is meant specifically for the Indian market, and that the "rest of the world will have to make do with 64GB." The connectivity options on the Honor 8 Pro smartphone include 4G VoLTE connectivity, dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, USB Type-C, Bluetooth v4.2, 3.5mm headphone jack, and NFC. As mentioned earlier, the handset features a 4000mAh battery that's rated to deliver up to 1.44 days of battery life with heavy use and 2 days with regular use. Sensors on board include accelerometer, ambient light sensor, digital compass, gyroscope, infrared sensor, and proximity sensor. It measures 157x77.5x6.97mm and weighs 184 grams.

Design
The
design of the Honor 8 Pro is slightly different when compared to its sibling,
the Honor 8. The older model has a glossy glass back, whereas the Honor 8 Pro
gets a metal unibody. It's available in two colours, Midnight Black and Navy
Blue, and you’ll be happy with either one. The smartphone is quite sleek,
measuring just 6.97 mm in thickness, and has curved sides. What is surprising
is that Honor has managed to cram a 4000 mAh battery into this body.
At
the front, there's a 5.7-inch LTPS panel, with super-slim side borders. The top
and bottom are thicker, and there's an Honor logo below the screen. Above it,
you'll find the 8-megapixel selfie shooter along with the earpiece and a couple
of sensors. The power and volume buttons are on the right side. The power
button is well within reach but you might have to stretch a little to reach the
volume controls. The left side of the Honor 8 Pro only has the SIM slot. Honor
has placed the USB Type-C port and the 3.5mm headphone jack at the bottom,
along with the loudspeaker and the primary microphone. At the top, there's a
secondary microphone and a IR emitter which lets you control household
appliances.
The
highlight of the Honor 8 Pro, the dual rear cameras, are placed at the back in
the upper left corner, along with a dual-tone LED flash. Unlike many other
phones, both cameras are fitted flush with the body of the smartphone, under a
glass window which should keep the lenses from picking up scratches. The fingerprint
scanner is also at the back, and we found its placement to be a little higher
than what would have been comfortable. You’ll have to stretch your finger a
little or shuffle the device in your palm to reach the fingerprint scanner.
Honor
ships this phone with only an 18W charger and USB cable, but the party trick is
that the box itself can be converted into a cardboard-style VR headset. You get
all the required materials, including the lenses, in the box.
Display & Camera
The Honor 8 Pro sports a 5.7-inch IPS display with 1440 x 2560 resolution. The Quad HD resolution and a pixel density of 515 ppi make for a terrific display. The display is sharp and the colors are vivid. The contrast ratio is top-notch as well, and while the display is a tad reflective, sunlight legibility is pretty good.
The display on the Honor 8 Pro offers a maximum brightness of 560 nits, which is brilliant. The black levels are deep and while there’s a blue tint on white, it’s not too noticeable to the naked eye.
The Honor 8 Pro has a 2.5D curved glass which offers a nice swiping experience across the large display. There’s Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection as well which will keep scratches at bay and prevent shatters to a certain extent.
The Quad HD IPS LCD panel on the Honor 8 Pro is one of the highlights of the device, but the obvious flip side to a higher resolution display is the bigger strain on the GPU and a hit on the battery life.
The 8-megapixel front shooter on the Honor 8 Pro comes with a f/2.0 lens and manages to capture quite detailed selfies even indoors and in low-light, like when you’re out for dinner with friends. There’s of course the beautification feature which masks blemishes on your face, if beauty is just skin-deep for you.
Rear Camera
The highlight of the Honor 8 Pro is its dual 12-megapixel rear cameras. Unlike smartphones that have a telephoto lens on the second camera, these two are used as independent RGB and monochrome sensors. Honor claims that the monochrome sensor can absorb more light which results in better details. To leverage the hardware, Honor has built its own camera app that offers multiple modes to choose from.
While Auto mode is set by default, you can take control using the Pro mode for stills and video. You can also set it to monochrome mode which uses only the monochrome sensor to deliver a black-and-white image. We found that the phone would get warm when using the camera even though it managed to run cool at other times including when gaming.
The photos with this phone turned out really good, and details really were better than average. Colors were accurate and their is no chromatic aberration or purple fringing when shooting against the light. Macros were also impressive, and the phone managed a good amount of separation between subjects and backgrounds. In low light, The camera would sharpen images which improves visibility at the cost of noise and some loss of detail. Selfies were also good, and the camera app smoothens them. By default, the camera app adds a watermark advertising the name of the phone. You can disable this, but the option is buried within the
Settings menu. We hope this option isn’t turned out by default in the units that ship to the consumers.
The Honor 8 Pro can record video at 4K but the ability to continuous autofocus is lost at this resolution. You can switch to 1080p at 30 or 60fps to enable it.

Launched in the UK in April for £474.99, The Honor 8 Pro is know arrived in India for Rs. 29,999, and the company has brought only the 6GB RAM/ 128GB inbuilt storage of the smartphone to the country.

Battery
Battery life of massive 4,000mAh
battery slightly
better than average battery life one of the main benefits of a
plus-size phone is all the extra space available to squeeze a massive battery
in. On that front, the Honor 8 Pro’s got more junk in its trunk than the whole
Kardashian clan combined. A massive 4,000mAh battery to be precise. As some
will tell you, though, size isn’t everything. Despite its massive capacity, the 8
Pro’s battery life is pretty average. OK, yes, you’ll comfortably get a full
day’s use out of the phone while hammering the features, but not much more.
You’re not going to be able to eke a
couple of days heavy use out of the thing without your battery circling the
drain before you get home. We regularly had 20% left come evening after having
spent the day hammering social media, emails, web browsing and some
commute-busting gaming. Honor’s claims of two day’s regular use on a single charge are a little
bit embellished, so unless you’re happy to take things lighter on the usage
front, nightly charges are still going to be a must. That or keeping a spare
charger to hand at work.
It’s not the speediest to charge
either. It took the phone 30 minutes to restore just 20% of its power supply. What’s more playing
a 90 minute full HD video on full brightness, the Honor 8 Pro haemorrhaged 25%
of its battery. This is a huge figure compared with the competition. By
contrast the OnePlus 3T loose just 14% of its power.
Opinion
Honor 8 PRO overall the best you will find in this price range From battery to display awesome specs camera quality is also good if not the best. According to me if your thinking to buy phone in this price bracket then u should consider this phone. Everything is top notch and company provide VR head Set which make it even more worthy to buy it, as you know Virtual Reality is the future and you can experience it with this phone . But it have some flows also, like who loves to work on stock ui will have to compromise as it have EMUI 5.1.
