Ashja I would pick the OP3T if you want a large screen and maybe a better display. They are both premium-feel phones in my opinion. Or you could wait and buy the new Honor V9. Great specs in my opinion.

I bought it in december and it is literally the greatest phone. Everyone said EMUI would be bad, I love it. It's so good at optimizing battery performance. And now EMUI 5 is even better cuz it brings the android feel to the user where as it was mocked for being IOS-like. I've grown to appreciate it and I can't wait for the Honor 8 Pro.

Oneplus 3T may be the better phone but with out the micro sd card you really need the 128gb version which is £439. The Honor 8 is currently on the Huawei web site for only £319.90 so is probably the better value phone and is lovely and compact. The EMUI version 5 has transformed the phone and answers most of the down sides from the original reviews.

bought it at a great price ($240.00 USD) and am fine with it. It's about as much phone as I need. Obviously, in looking at newer phones, there's a slight tinge of anguish for not waiting a couple of months longer, but I'd never have a new phone if I waited interminably for the best tech. So I made a decision at the time, and I am still with my 8. Nougat and EMUI-5 are icing on the (already sweet) cake. :) Nice video, btw. ;)

Mustafa there may be a new phone out there now in 2017 that is equal to, or better than the 8, and at a lower price. If you know what specs you want (most want) it might be worth looking around to see what the new moderate-priced phones have to offer. Were I actually looking for a new phone, I'd be checking specs and prices against the 8.

Had this phone since launch and it has improved even further since the Nougat update. I had the OP3T and for £439 you're going to have AMOLED screen tech and 113Gb memory free which can't be expanded. Camera IMO is better on the Honor 8 and memory can be expanded. The OP3T is a better option if you're into gaming however the Honor 8 is a very capable phone with the Kirin 950 chipset which is no slouch. If you have another £70 spare and prefer performance then by all means go for the OP3T but you may have to wait for the device as it's very often sold out. I actually prefer the Honor 8 which can be easily bought and if you're savvy you can pick it even cheaper as Vmall are always running promotions.

I reset my router, I called my provider and got it reset and the test thing again and everything else works fine idk y the honor 8 acts like this, it's extremely annoying. What's worse is I like to watch my videos with my Bluetooth speaker and it won't even play them longer than 2-3mins on 720p, it stays frozen and I have to turn it off and on(wifi connection) then set it back to 480p to have a stable connection. Before I would have to restart the router each time it would also say no internet access even though it was connected. I really like my honor 8 but these wifi issues are really annoying and since I can't return it, I might just end up giving it to a family member in need smh.

Xiaomi is know for their blatant plagiarism of patents.. u can read it up in the news.. will definitely support Huawei as they use all their own patents in making their phones. Huawei quality better than Xiaomi too.
I've had this phone for a few months and while I was ecstatic for a few hours when I first got the Nougat/EMUI 5.0 update, I've been hating Huawei ever since. EMUI 4.0 had its problems, namely the super shitty app switcher, and EMUI 5.0 does feel better mostly. However, Huawei managed to make the super shitty app switcher even worse. It is more responsive and stacks apps the same way as Google's task switcher which initially made me think "YES, THEY FIXED IT!". After using the phone a few hours after the update I first noticed something was wrong though. It seems the app switcher has a soft cap of three simultaneous apps. It doesn't seem to close the apps but just hides them. So after a few hours, whatever apps you had on in the background have dropped to three. This is unbelievably idiotic and really infuriating. Why did you leave such important information out of your review? Buyers beware. I really recommend buying anything else but Huawei, this is such a deal breaker.
