As expected, the Honor 8S which was launched in April in the international market now makes its way to Nepal. A successor to the Honor 7S, Honor 8S is an entry-level device from Honor, which offers pretty decent features in the price range for the customers.
The device comes with a decent screen — 5.71 inches and features a dew-drop notch; dual-textured back; a pretty good camera; face unlock feature; and a good battery, all complementing its price, i.e. Rs. 12,500. Now, let’s take a quick overlook of the phone followed by a specification highlights.
This 5.71-inches phone offers 720×1520 screen resolution with TÜV Rheinland certification that claims to ensure less blue-ray emission for better and safe user experience with the screen. There is a U-shaped notch on the top that houses the selfie camera.
