The options are increasing by the day, and there are plenty of great phones out there, but, the younger generation of customers is still demanding much more. The Honor 8 hopes to cash in on them and this phone certainly does make a strong case for itself.
Honor 8 Pro smartphone will sport fourth generation dual-lens camera setup with 12MP lenses, Kirin 960 processor and will come with 4,000mAh battery. The device will have 5.7-inch 2K quad HD display with 2.5D curved glass and will support 4K videos. Honor 8 Pro will come in blue and black colours.
While the Honor 6X is currently priced at Rs 11,999 and Rs 13,999, Honor 8 Pro costs Rs 29,999. But, during the Big Billion Days, from September 21-24, Honor 6X will get a price cut of Rs 1000 off and will be offered at Rs 10,999 and Rs 12,999 for the two variants.
The Honor 8 Pro is going all guns blazing against established names in the high-end smartphone segment. But, does it have enough ammo to beat the biggies? Think of high-end flagship smartphones and brands like Apple, Samsung, HTC, Google Pixel, One Plus, et al, immediately spring to mind.
The Band 2 which is priced at Rs 4,599 and its variant, the Band 2 Pro with GPS which is priced at 6,999 can monitor your fitness routine. All three products are also available at popular e-commerce portals such as Flipkart and Amazon.
