Honor 8c Smartphone – Pricing, Features & reviews
Pricing
Considering the most competitive 10000 to 15000 INR segment, the company has strategically priced all the variants. The initial product range has two variants. 4 GB RAM with 32 GB storage capacity has been tagged with INR 11,999/-. The other higher variant having 4 GB RAM & 64 GB storage space is priced @ INR 12,999/-
The pricing has been quite realistic & a definite challenge for its competitors. Honor 8C will have to have a heavy fight with many established & strong brands, but we are sure users will have another good option on the shelf for their next purchase.
Features & Specifications
• Display
Honor 8C has a 6.26-inch HD LCD panel on the display. This panel supports 720×1520 pixels for a decent resolution & visual experience. This TFT IPS LCD panel has been given an aspect ratio of 19:9. As such colors & display dimensions have been quite reasonable on the screen. However, the maximum brightness level seems a little inadequate.
Also, text & images may look a little fuzzy on account of HD+ resolution. First-party apps will be smoothly working alongside the notch, and EMUI will support functioning over third-party apps as well for extended performance. The display of the images taken where the AI mode is off has been excellent. Using AI mode was making the image display a little unrealistic on the face of it.
• Look & Body
The body of Honor 8C is made with good-quality plastic. However, it will have to compete heavily with the glass & metal body variants being offered by competitors. We wonder why the company did not continue like the Honor 7C metal backplate giving a firmer feel.
The phone has a little taller sizing making it a little difficult to operate with one hand. The notched display has a little hint of the chin left over. The setting menu does help users to mask the notch by darkening the sides of the screen. The back side of the phone is glossy which may make many fingerprints visible.
One soft TPU has been given by the company to protect the body from any adverse effects. The phone set does not include a headphone which may be a drawback for many users. It though includes a charger & a USB cable for your consumption.
• Processing Power & Ability
Honor 8C is powered by Qualcomm’s 14nm Snapdragon 632 Soc, which is more comfortable to support high-level gaming. This processing platform is supported by 4 cores for power efficiency & high performance.

It has been granted dual SIM slots which work on the 4G network. Despite the good look on paper with regards to performance, it’s a combination offer. Your daily stuff may be a smooth slide, but a little more push may end up patchy.
The face recognition & fingerprint scanner have been found quite quick in response. In case sufficient light is where the face recognition works almost instantaneously. For low-light surroundings, it will automatically increase the screen light to illuminate your face.
