Here's my review
https://gavinsgadgets.com/2017/06/01/honor-8-pro-review-including-an-epic-camera-showcase-more/
It includes 2 YouTube videos as well. One of which is a display of photos taken as my role as a pro photographer, so enjoy.

This is a very nice review man. Epic camera is the best term to use.

with 128GB being the highest storage available, why do you say it's "sad"? i'd think it's great, for the price. if you must know, i'm going to be paying abt the same, or even more in Malaysia... and only getting 64GB version.

I wrote "sad" for who don't have this 128GB variant in their country, We are lucky to have this variant.

just checked out your review article.
iinm, it's the 4th generation camera tech..
I learnt it only today from the Honor8Pro sales page on Amazon India. there's a link somewhere in the forum..

here you go..

All the reviews I've seen about the 8 pro are good, performance, battery and display seem to be strong points of it

Same for me. Still waiting for the first Reviews.
because the phone isnt available in the north america, almost all reviewer are from there.
How reliable is this website? First I've heard of it.
I hope it comes to a mobile carrier in the US. Otherwise may have to import.
Swedroid.se and use Google translate for a good review

None of these is a full review--they are all hands-on previews. Pretty much every tech site has one posted.

Another hands on video:
Edit: looks like YouTube embedding is broken, and on top of that I just realized mine was the same video that was posted right before me anyway (hard to tell with no embedding).
I just receive an invitation to buy the "oneplus x", but there is no full review yet. I don't know what to do
I'm worry about battery life. My 3 years old nexus 4 is a shame with it too small battery... Hurry up dear reporters !

I just got one invitation as well and I can't wait for the reviews to come before it expires! Anyway, even if it is not up to the expectations we should be able to easily resell it at no loss, shipping costs included.
Battery life will likely be fine - it's only 2525mAh, but it's also only a 5" screen. Based on the OPO's solid battery life (3100 mAh battery and 5.5" screen), I imagine it'll be fine.
Here's a review from someone who already has the phone:

It seems like it's taking forever to get reviews out for this device. Here's one from pcadvisor.co.uk:

I dont think so.. I have heard android 8.0 beta testing is out for mate 9 .. Havnt heard anything about honor 8 till now..
Beta testing is kind of a confidential thing. So you can expect the news will not circulate this early.
.you can download this http://consumer.huawei.com/de/support/fut/
And check however I haven't heard anything. Though where did you hear this

LG G6 with a Snapdragon 820!?!?

Bought my G6 off a shady shop in Hong Kong, it runs hot like 40-75c all the time.
I checked using AIDA64 and wtf
Also used device info, same thing says 820
It has a warranty but no returns so I'm comfused
Hmm, mine is showing 821 MSM8996 Pro. But mine is H870.
Hardware Version Rev 1.1, max 2150MH per Core, this looks really like a 820, loool.
Maybe they really used the older CPU Version? What's going with LG, I don't get it ?
And the rest of the features match?
You may have just bought a counterfeit..
Post other screens of aida app, for see with my results
A counterfeit would rather be based on a cheap MediaTek SoC and a display with 1080p or less.

I do not see anything abnormal, has by course the Snapdragon
Be this model is planned with this processor for this country, be it a model of pre-production, which seems to me possible considering the date of production inscribed on the stickers on the back of your g6 (march 2017
Your g6 is the korean version. The 64gb model is coming with sd820. The phone is legit. Trust me,there is no difference. In fact, i like your version better,due to higher storage capacity. Not to mention korean model already has oreo on tests and it will be the first to get it.
Smart phones, dumb people.
@kimitza is right, everything is OK, European/US versions have SD821, Korean ones have SD820. The difference is incredibly marginal to be honest. You won't feel it.
