Honor, the second brand of smartphones of the Chinese company Huawei, has just announced a new, more advanced version of the Honor 8: the Honor 8 Premium introduces storage capacity, which can now be purchased in Spain for 450 euros and in two different colors.
The Honor 8 Premium arrives with a more powerful processor
The Honor 8 Premium smartphone maintains many features of the Honor 8, such as the 5.2-inch screen with Full HD resolution (1080 x 1920 pixels) or the 3000 mAh battery. The 12 + 12-megapixel dual main camera is also maintained, as well as the 8-megapixel front camera with numerous beauty options to enhance selfies and capture good photos at night.
The important improvement that the Honor 8 Premium introduces is the storage capacity: 64 GB instead of the 32 GB of the Honor 8. It is a detail that many users will seem because it allows more space to install applications or to store multimedia files. This is an especially important change for those who want to use the smartphone with DualSIM functions, since the slot of the second nanoSIM card is the same as that of the microSD memory card: with two phone numbers, therefore, it is not possible to expand the capacity with an external card.
In any case, users using a microSD card will be able to expand the available space with up to 120 GB in addition to the 64 GB of internal storage of the Honor 8 Premium.
A powerful processor for smooth performance
Inside the Honor 8 Premium, as in the Honor 8, we find an eight-core Kirin 950 processor (four of them at 2.3 GHz and the other four running at 1.8 GHz), 4 GB of RAM memory, a battery of 3000 mAh (offering about a day and a half of autonomy) and the operating system Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow with customization layer EMUI 4.1 of Huawei.
The user experience was very positive in the case of the Honor 8, so a very smooth performance can also be expected in the case of the Honor 8 Premium. The brand wants to offer it to the market as an interesting option for the most gamers, due to the quality of the screen and the built-in processor.
Pricing and availability
The Honor 8 was launched in Europe last August, and now the Honor 8 Premium version is available in Spain with 64 GB of internal storage. Taking advantage of the great reception that the sapphire blue color has had in the standard version, the Honor 8 Premium has gone on sale in Spain in two colors: sapphire blue or gold.
The phone is already available in the Spanish market for 450 euros, and can be purchased through the vMall de Honor store, on Amazon or from other distributors such as Youmobile.
For its part, the standard Honor 8 launched in August can be purchased from 400 euros, with 32 GB of storage and almost the same specifications. For those who need extra storage, it is interesting that with only 50 euros more you can buy the 64 GB version.
