Huawei Honor 8 Pro hands-on

-


Huawei is doing a tremendous job lately with a variety of good smartphones both under its name and under the Honor brand. The latest addition to the portfolio is Honor 8 Pro, also known by its Chinese name Honor V9, and resembles Honor 8 and Honor V8 in terms of overall design. Here’s what caught our attention before proceeding with the extensive tests.



Huawei delivers the Honor 8 Pro in a box that converts into a cardboard-style VR headset. The whole set is quite easy to assemble, but there are also directions if you are struggling with the do-it-yourself part. As we have already seen in Honor 8, the Pro edition’s power button has a different texture, making its pressing a bit easier.


Huawei has a terrific fingerprint sensor that the company implements on every new device. The scanner works splendidly for all the phone, app and payment security you need.



The Quad HD resolution of the IPS LCD matches that of the Huawei P10 Plus. The screen is 5.7” in diagonal, but because of the bigger bezels on top and bottom, the device is as tall as the 5.9” Mate 9 - 157 mm.

Huawei gives all it has to the Honor 8 Pro regarding performance. The chipset is the Kirin 960 which is the company’s most powerful SoC to date. It comes with an octa-core CPU and 6GB of RAM, while the 64 GB storage is expandable via a microSD card that occupies the second SIM slot (so you can't have both dual SIM and extra memory). The 128GB storage version of the Honor V9 is not available with the Honor 8 Pro though.



Honor 8 Pro’s dual camera has two 12 MP sensors, and it performs as good as the smaller sibling - the Honor 8. The difference that comes with being new and having more powerful chipset is the Pro device records video in 4K. The front snapper is 8 MP with f/2.0 lens for all the selfie enthusiasts.

Google is pushing out an updated version of its contacts management app, bringing some of the features available in the web version to the Android app. The v 1.5 update reorganizes the user interface of Google Contacts. Instead of the two tabs – all and favorites – the app now just displays your entire contact list, with a sidebar menu available via the hamburger button on the left. Opening that up reveals a new section for managing duplicate contacts. That’s a feature that was present on the web app of Contacts , but the process was more convoluted on the Android app. You can now also add labels to your contacts, making it easy to organize large contact lists based on groups, for things like family, work, or school. That’s another feature that was present on the web app and it’s now finally making the jump to the Android app, a place where it’s actually more likely to be used. Google Contacts 1.5 is currently rolling out to all users, so it should land on your

LG Display used CES 2018 in Las Vegas to officially unveil its new OLED displays - one of them being a 65-inch 4K flexible screen that can be rolled like a newspaper. The other is an 88” 8K OLED panel that we told you about last week. The flexibility of the 65” OLED display makes it easier to transport or store in the corner. Its small size allows for better space utilization, meaning you can take the TV anytime, anywhere and “enjoy bright, high-resolution content”. LG Display will also showcase its latest upgrades of the IPS technology. The panels now have IPS nano-color, “which expresses rich colors using nanoscale high-color reproduction particles, and IPS technology, which increases the transmittance and reduces the intensity of light reflected on the panel.”, said the company in a press release.
