I picked this up, I love it. Im not into huge phones which the other are. 5.2" is the largest I'll go. First charge I got 5hr SOT. Newegg has a deal $360 and you get a free case and JBL BT headphones. fingerpritnt scanner is fast and like i can customize the action button. Just waiting on roms for even more performance and battery
Its nice to know that when he does a real review on the phones he reviews or just tech in general, gives you an idea whether the product he's reviewing is something you'd want to buy or consider.
Hey Flossy I normally agree with everything you say but I have to disagree with you on the display brightness, I have been rocking the honor 8 for 3 weeks now and have not had any issue with screen brightness in direct sunlight.
Flossy Carter true that. Waiting for the new Nokia smartphone C1 to be released end October if it has anything of Nokias dna it's going to rock. Qhd, 6gb ram, Carl zeiss glass, snapdragon 821, expandable storage to 256gb, 4000 mAh battery. 5.5 inch display. Will have to wait and see if they can pull Off a comeback It will all depend on the price range that they decide to enter the market.
It's bottom firing and not the loudest. The quality is pretty good though, but at max volume it does pop every few mins or so, not very noticeable but fine for using it. When plugged into headphones it's very clear and very good. Not as good as a custom daq but it's good nontheless. I really enjoy it, and would definitely recommend it.
I would ya, especially if you use like a bluetooth speaker. I'm sure the popping is rare on the phone, mine was the last one at best buy so idk the quality of it lol. But I really enjoy it. It is fast as can be though and handles everything very well. But it isn't as good as like the axon 7 or iPhone 7 etc with its audio. It is very good still just not the absolute top.
I know its a bit late but better late than never. The battery life is not bad, is a little suspect at times but its decent, and has a lot of good power saving modes, and things like the ram management help the battery life as well. Also the quickcharge is better than Floss said, i get about 45 percent on a 30 minute recharge.The IR blaster works with essentially every tv and box you can find. The list is endless in the app on what it is compatible is, and if your box or something isnt compatible it can be programmed to work. And like i said the battery is ok. No real problems. Also, the camera is absolutely amazing.
Dropped my nexus 6p in the sea the other day, Fully submerged, think i just lucked out, still works. Dont think they are classed as 'Water Resistant' are they?
DoubleAIV I was dipping my toes into the ocean (don't really enjoy the ocean), Big wave comes in so i get outa there trying to keep my jeans dry. The phone goes diving out of my back pocket for a little dip. Cant have been submerged more than 5 seconds though.
JZ VR yup, I dropped my old ass 2014 huawei in cereal (warm/hot milk). Still works a year later. I dropped it a couple of times in milk many times. Smh. I'm clumsy
Just got this phone. DISPLAY Is super nice... and its kinda amoled. "At first glance, the 5.2-inch 1080p display slapped onto the Honor 8 exhibits qualities that indicate it’s an AMOLED panel of some type - partly due to the subtle saturation we’re seeing. In reality, however, it’s actually an IPS LCD screen that looks extremely vibrant to the eye"
hey just wanted to say thanks for saving me from a major mistake. I bought a honor 8 and was on my way to pick it up and watched this video. I hadn't heard of the axon 7 until now and I changed my order to that when I arrived. this phone is awesome and I'm loving it.
Picked up the Honor 8 this past weekend, battery life (I was able to tap into 4 hours SoT) and camera is amazing in the day, lacking at night though. The finger sensor is damn good and quick. That EMUI is also really fluid too, almost iOS-isc. But yea, it does fall a bit short from the others.
For 400$ you dont need a 4k or 2k video, it has a nice 1080 and 720 120fps. You get 2 sharp rear cameras a mindblowing hardware a standard min 32GB hard drive. and the fingerprint scanner is one of the fastest on the market. The only phone who is waterproof is samsung xcover series and CAT. all the other expensive smartphones with similar specs are not watterproof its just a question if the phone is spilled with wather or submerged. Other chinese smartphones can be a little better for the price, but Honor 8 is better than most samsungs, LG, HTC or Sony for its price. My honest opinion
#Salute I can't believe we've circled back around to talking about headphone jacks as a feature again. I remember back in the day when phones had the 2.5mm jacks or no jack at all and having a 3.5mm jack was a feature
I don't know what Huawei puts in their phones. But I've this phone for 6 months now. And it hasn't slowed down one bit. I haven't experienced any lag so far. This phone is certified best!!! Nice vid Floss. Keep up the great work.
i keep going back and forth between this phone and axon 7. after you put axon 2nd in your top 5 $400 phones, im leaning back towards axon. but i heard a lot of people complaining about lte reception and wifi. maybe ill get it with a warranty.
Wow Floss I just saw this Review and pointed out that the size was not big enough I'm used to a larger phone and I really can't go back it a beautiful phone very nice but I also like Sound.I have small feet,small hands even small head but I'm pretty tall if you think 5'7 is tall but I get called little feet.lol 😉but I really want to wait for the Note 8 and Floss I hope they bring it.Thanks so much DebP.s.Xerxes is too Beautiful
bought mine new on eBay for $240usd on a sale. love it. flossy is right tho battery isn't wonderful but stellar camera and killer looks. and it's fast. love it
my fav is axon 7 and moto z play in specs features etc but my fav on looks is definetely honor 8 moto z play with speaker mod is definetely a win this year for budget phones
floss could you review the muzik one headphones? it just got out about 2-3 days ago depends on when u see this. i want you to review see what you think. they said its a smartphone for headphones. if u happen to review it could u also include the sound leakage on it and the noise isolation for it? thanks man. love your works btw.
I'm going to buy it just because the camara and programable fingerprint sensor.. ^don't know if you know this floss, you can drop the notification by swiping down on the fingerprint
Floss you been doing a ton a budget phones right lately. Just got my son the Samsung galaxy On5. I think it compares to alot of these regardless of the specs. Hope you review it. My son loves your reviews.
Floss, I just wanted to show you some love. I watch everything you do, you're upbeat, creative and hilarious. Seriously, you're the only person on RUclips I watch religiously. Keep on rocking! #Fanlove
Newegg was selling the 64gb model of this phone with a gift box that had a selfie stick, a second charger and a micro USB to USB C adapter for 300 bucks with a coupon. You know I hit that shit up. Just sold my OnePlus 2 as well, I'm very happy with this. #Salute
I subscribed, love this guy how he talks!!! I ordered the Honor 8 from Amazon, hopefully I am not disappointed. I am concerned about the screen quality the colors and the blacks, viewing angle etc I hope its good
I'm always with I floss....BUT...that axon 7... traded mine for that Honor 8.... I was surprised how you ranked baby blue...all subjective, but I was surprised
For me I'm actually rooting for the Huawei Honor 8 because sadly most of your top 4 $400 phones are not available in our country except for Huawei. Thanks for the awesome review Floss!!!
What was your other recommendation for good input audio quality? I'm really digging the look of the of the Huawei, how small it is, customizability, and the screen quality (I'd like to upload photos from my digital camera onto the phone). I also live in China so this should be easy to find. However, I'm really into music and would prefer to listen to music on my phone instead of my ipod. Thanks for the video again. Very helpful and entertaining.
man awesome videos every time.more or less I even stopped watching other tech channels only your channel more time . always best. I joined around 2lk subscribers , I'm eager to watch 5lk .you have celebrity(cute cat) Appearance also which makes even superb . keep going
letz950recordz no sorry there is no way to import it because you have to be a student in sweden. you have to enter your personal number in a specific website that takes you to these discounts. and that only works being a student
letz950recordz and also i had to turn in my current phone to get the discount. but i still get a lot of profit because my current phone is not worth over 200 bucks which is the discount
Sup Floss. My Note 7 update. I powered down the Note 7 last week. Got the LG V10 back in action. Contacted tmobile to credit the monthly cost of Note 7. I'm just gonna wait til New Note 7's are on deck. ✌
Would it be alright if I suggested reviewing the Honor Note 8(not the mate 8)?? Idk if they have an international version yet, but it looks pretty slick!
I've heard a lot of things about the camera, but like you said, and most reviews agree, there are still some points where it falls short. Still, since it also checks the boxes for Band 12 and NFC for me, camera quality weighs in a little bit. But since you made the comparison to real heavyweights in the camera department, I was wondering how this one would compare to the camera on the Moto X Pure/Style? I don't expect any contest on video since the X does 4K video and this doesn't, but for stills...? It's kind of worth considering only because the Moto X being a previous generation phone, is now something you can get for about $100 less. There's a lot to make me think the X is the better option, though I'm not really a fan of the big phone trend... sure, a 5.5" feels good in my hand with my lanky fingers and all, but there's the matter of getting it in and out of your pocket and not being cumbersome when it's in your pocket while you're sitting down (I still remember a time when _smaller_ phones were the rage and it was the only thing that guys could whip out of their pants proudly proclaiming "mine is smaller than yours.").
hi!! tell me please, the fingerprint, you must just to touch for unlock or you must press like Lg V10, or Samsung devices. Thank you!! You make a great job..a pleasure to watch!!
Hey Floss, need your advice my man! Would you get the 6p over the Huawei 8 or wait for a new nexus? Not up to date when it comea to nexus phones. #salute
In my experience the viewing angles are great, and battery life is awesome. I'm getting 6+hrs screen on time. I think you might have got a bad one or something. I took my LG v20 back after purchasing this phone. My only complaint is I wish it was 5.5" display but 5.2 isn't bad. The speed of this phone is amazing and for $420 less than the v20 plus better battery life I couldn't keep the v20 after that. Liked the v20 other than those things though. Still you might want to try a different honor 8.
Great review. I too buy expensive and also budget phones since i get bored easily with my toys.I just got this yesterday will return and get the Axon 7.Floss is Boss.Keep it coming.Love Ya.
Floss might disagree with me on this but I didn't really feel that Axon 7. Build quality was a major go, but IDK man, there was some shit I didn't like about that mother. I will say though, I shot some video with it and it was clear as fuck and the audio was on point too. The CAMERA part though sucked, Floss is right on the money on that shit. if I were you man, I'd hit up that One Plus 3, people seem to love it. I personally have tried all of these phones like Floss except for 3, plus I tried the new Sony X. Follow his rankings they are legit.
hey flosys, hands down, really simple and informative way of showing phone capabilities. One thing to notice - I think that speaking about lag factor is a bit nonobjective. Unless you've been using a phone for longer period of time, You can't really tell if the phone lags or not, especially the one based on Android which is prone to choking and decreasing speed with time. cheers
Actually, the oneplus phones are pretty customizable because of the custom roms. Still have my opo and flashed resurrection remix yesterday. It is very very customizable and stabile. And it is really fun to switch roms often. Just try out roms. I agree.. When you get a phone you want it to be ready, yes, I get it. But if you just dedicate an hour or two to your phone then you can get so much out of it. Pretty much every 400$ Phone you have there looks amazing. Still would go with the oneplus 3
hey floss, just bought this phone at best buy, i also don't like the no app drawer. where did you download that launcher? thanks in advanced also great vid like always my dude
Great review! I really appreciate that you go into detail about your opinions and experience with the phone. Most other review channels focus so much more on tacky production gimmicks rather than actual content. They usually only list the specs and comment on whether or not they are impressed with the specs. Your review is actually useful! Thank you! Plus you are really funny. Subscribed! PS: I am really considering this phone now after watching your review. I was looking for a small phone to replace my Nexus 5x that suddenly broke. I have been using my Moto X 2013 in the mean time. (It is still working smoothly but I def need an upgrade) I was looking at the Sony Xperia X Compact and the iPhone SE. I really can't see myself using iOS- I love Andriod, but I want quality phone hardware and camera, which can be hard to come by for less than $400. The Sony camera processing hasn't impressed me in the reviews I have watched. The Honor 8 seems like the perfect sweet spot with premium looking feel, amazing camera, fast processing, and a perfect price! I might wait till the Honor 9 is released before I decide but I am really leaning towards the Honor 8.
yo #floss I've been using android for eons now and I'm contemplating trying an iPhone for the first time, you havent reviewed it yet but I'm wondering should I go with the iPhone 7 plus or the lgv20 or note 7.
As for water proof, what I think most people confuse about. That so trendy phrase "IP68" is just not the same than really water proof. One of the reasons I bought a Garmin Fenix 3 instead of the new Apple Watch Series 2. Really waterproof is just not the same. ;) Back to topic.... And Flos, your videos rock. ;) Cheers from Germany.
Ayo Floss! I'd like to see an unboxing & review of the BLU studio XL. And yeah! ANOTHER ONE! But the phone looks nice and I'd like to kno' your opinion bout it.
aye yo flossy what up my man i got a question on the s7 edge does it overheat or get hot when u use it a lot?? I want a new phone idk if I should get iPhone or Samsung please reply
nice review. i read in other sites that this camera is flagship quality, i little bit down in low light but awesome for $400 phones. for photographers this is a go for the price
I've been hearing so many contradicting opinions on the battery. Some reviewers are getting 5 hours screen on time and others are like flossy with 3 hours. I'm not to heavy a user so i doubt i'll need to worry to much
My battery life has been amazing...not a complaint about this phone outside of the lack of app drawer option.... I have stayed with stock UI, adjusted to it, and now live it.
+Damon Nevils if you're not a heavy user than you can easily get 5 hours. When I test phone batteries I'm just the phone for hours straight. This one isn't getting past 4 for sure
not super heavy user....but I am in my phone all day....No it ain't no.marathon runner but she's alright... but I am getting about 6p life, admittedly I'm not a savage with screen brightness
Flossy Carter Cool got yah. You really liking them moto mods lol. I am trying not to go to the dark side with apple. I am really liking that the Apple Watch is waterproof. Not resistant cough... hehe
Yo Floss! Great video as always, you always get so in depth and don't bull shit... I have the honor 8 and I like it, but sometimes videos won't play and I have to restart the phone, read online the software is a bit buggy, plus I am not a fan of the IOS style notification shade and just the software in general, so I am thinking of exchanging it, I have until Thursday... Any ideas as far what you feel would be a better phone in the same price range? thank you!
I'm torn between Honor 8 and Samsung S7. Cam's a huge deal for me but damn that price difference. Honor 8 looks so good but I'm coming from LG G4 so S7 is screaming to me.
Another good video. I bought the Hauwei Honor 8 but had issues with the ambient display (as in the phone would just go dark on its own!) and the software is crap. The Moto Z Play is Verizon exclusive so it shouldn't be compared with the other unlocked truely $400.00 phones.
strange thing that you only get 3-4 sot ? i get about 5 hour.... and on xda a.lots get over 6 to 7 hours. great review man and keep up the good work ! 🎬 i love my Honor 8 ! 😃 most bang for the buck right now.i think.....
Flossy from across the waters. Honor 8, Xiaomi Mi5 or OnePlus 3T? My main needs are camera, battery & compactness (ref Samsung S4). What's your recommendation? Thanks and entertaining video as usual.

Yes sir! #Salute
I picked this up, I love it. Im not into huge phones which the other are. 5.2" is the largest I'll go. First charge I got 5hr SOT. Newegg has a deal $360 and you get a free case and JBL BT headphones. fingerpritnt scanner is fast and like i can customize the action button. Just waiting on roms for even more performance and battery
same I bought this phone I love it, fast charge is so great with this phone!
Great! what kind if roms do you use for that?? im rocking the s7 and know nothing but would like to learn 🙂
I there are no roms currently
What about the sound quality from the headphones?
For me the sound quality from headphones is pretty good. Obviously its not as good as something like the v20 but it definitely gets the job done 😊
It's funny cuz I watch all of Floss' videos even though I sometimes know I'm not buying the product.
like 90 % of do that too ,nothing special...
+Marko Paunović 😂😂😂
If I bought all the products he reviewed and I watched I would be in huge debt
Goliath I know, Floss must be rolling in dough
Its nice to know that when he does a real review on the phones he reviews or just tech in general, gives you an idea whether the product he's reviewing is something you'd want to buy or consider.
Hey Flossy I normally agree with everything you say but I have to disagree with you on the display brightness, I have been rocking the honor 8 for 3 weeks now and have not had any issue with screen brightness in direct sunlight.
+Joe Lavinas didn't say it was an issue Bro, what I'm saying is it's not great compared to qhd displays
Flossy Carter ok yeah it isn't a qhd display but considering the cost it is a really good.
+Joe Lavinas yea but considering the axon 7 and idol 4s are also $400 and have qhd, that kinda makes it weak😟
Flossy Carter true that. Waiting for the new Nokia smartphone C1 to be released end October if it has anything of Nokias dna it's going to rock. Qhd, 6gb ram, Carl zeiss glass, snapdragon 821, expandable storage to 256gb, 4000 mAh battery. 5.5 inch display. Will have to wait and see if they can pull Off a comeback It will all depend on the price range that they decide to enter the market.
+Joe Lavinas sounds like a beast!!
"Never seen anyone go deep sea diving with a JBL Charge strapped to their waist"😂😂😂😂 killed me
huaweis processors are actually really good i hear this thing barely stutters
I have had it for a couple of weeks and no stutters at all. No frame drops, absolutely blazing in everything including games. Love the phone.
It's bottom firing and not the loudest. The quality is pretty good though, but at max volume it does pop every few mins or so, not very noticeable but fine for using it.

Dropped my nexus 6p in the sea the other day, Fully submerged, think i just lucked out, still works. Dont think they are classed as 'Water Resistant' are they?
they use nano technology ..that's why the composants resist to water

Headphone audio output is not good? but gsmarena has given it good audio ratings! im confused now.
If you've got decent earbuds, its not a problem. I'm using JVC earbuds, and the quality is great. Not a single problem...
just got the phone yesterday and tested headphone quality,I thought it was pretty damn good. also make sure DTS is enabled in sound settings.
I know I am late af but what about headphones wich go with phone? I am planning on getting honor 8 in !about 5 days
Nice backup if u on the Note or Nexus squad. Other than that,could be a good everyday runner.
bought mine new on eBay for $240usd on a sale. love it. flossy is right tho battery isn't wonderful but stellar camera and killer looks. and it's fast. love it
agree real review for the real buyers 🤗
my fav is axon 7 and moto z play in specs features etc but my fav on looks is definetely honor 8 moto z play with speaker mod is definetely a win this year for budget phones

Should i upgrade my LG G3 with this one? Can get it here in Sweden for 250€ cash, without any carrierlock right now. Really tempted..
Kvillen Have you bought the phone yet? I'm also considering switching from G3 to this one so any feedback would be great.

LG ditched the IR blaster with the G6, which is why I'm in the market for something other than a G6.
Great review, cool cat.
I subscribed, love this guy how he talks!!! I ordered the Honor 8 from Amazon, hopefully I am not disappointed. I am concerned about the screen quality the colors and the blacks, viewing angle etc I hope its good
I'm always with I floss....BUT...that axon 7... traded mine for that Honor 8....
I was surprised how you ranked baby blue...all subjective, but I was surprised
Hey Flossy. First time watching your reviews. Your stuff is off the hook! Totally accurate, helpful, and fun to watch. I'm a follower now.
+Allen Choi much respect bro
Hey floss do you still use old phones?
For me I'm actually rooting for the Huawei Honor 8 because sadly most of your top 4 $400 phones are not available in our country except for Huawei. Thanks for the awesome review Floss!!!
OMG God Bless You I have been feening for your review on this !!

when are you going to do the V20 fam #Salute
Would it be alright if I suggested reviewing the Honor Note 8(not the mate 8)?? Idk if they have an international version yet, but it looks pretty slick!
I've heard a lot of things about the camera, but like you said, and most reviews agree, there are still some points where it falls short. Still, since it also checks the boxes for Band 12 and NFC for me, camera quality weighs in a little bit. But since you made the comparison to real heavyweights in the camera department, I was wondering how this one would compare to the camera on the Moto X Pure/Style? I don't expect any contest on video since the X does 4K video and this doesn't, but for stills...? It's kind of worth considering only because the Moto X being a previous generation phone, is now something you can get for about $100 less.
There's a lot to make me think the X is the better option, though I'm not really a fan of the big phone trend... sure, a 5.5" feels good in my hand with my lanky fingers and all, but there's the matter of getting it in and out of your pocket and not being cumbersome when it's in your pocket while you're sitting down (I still remember a time when _smaller_ phones were the rage and it was the only thing that guys could whip out of their pants proudly proclaiming "mine is smaller than yours.").
I don't know why I got recommended this but you were Killin it back then too 😂
I was in Best Buy today and Floss is right. It really is the most slippery phone in the universe
Flossy is keeping it real.
Floss, appreciate the honest review! I'm gonna run one of these for a bit, and if it doesn't work out you've got me eyeing an Idol 4S
+Eric Blackwell id definitely take the 4s
Hey Flossy!
I need an advice. G5 vs. Honor 8. Most important: camera and screen. Thx.
best tech reviewer followed by unbox theraphy, shout out floss real g out there who is a techbeast.
Floss got a question have you ever done a review on the Letv LeMax???
hi!! tell me please, the fingerprint, you must just to touch for unlock or you must press like Lg V10, or Samsung devices. Thank you!! You make a great job..a pleasure to watch!!
Radu Melinte You just have to touch it, even when the screen is turned off and it's crazy fast
Hey flossy what would you say is the best budget speaker you've reviewed and is the jam storm any good
+Golden RaptorZz what price range?
I think Honor 8 has one feature under 400 i like so m gonna have to go with That... Thanks for the Review Flossy
Hey Floss, need your advice my man! Would you get the 6p over the Huawei 8 or wait for a new nexus? Not up to date when it comea to nexus phones. #salute
+DubbleW00pz I'd wait for the new nexus, but I'd take the 6p over this one
Thanks for the damn fast reply lol! I guess I will go with the 6P then, since I saw that it was around 600$ and my budget is 500€/~560$
In my experience the viewing angles are great, and battery life is awesome. I'm getting 6+hrs screen on time. I think you might have got a bad one or something. I took my LG v20 back after purchasing this phone. My only complaint is I wish it was 5.5" display but 5.2 isn't bad. The speed of this phone is amazing and for $420 less than the v20 plus better battery life I couldn't keep the v20 after that. Liked the v20 other than those things though. Still you might want to try a different honor 8.
What about the sound of the headphones from the Honor 8?
I had to go back to an Honor 8 because LG V20 started to be trash to me :c
Great review. I too buy expensive and also budget phones since i get bored easily with my toys.I just got this yesterday will return and get the Axon 7.Floss is Boss.Keep it coming.Love Ya.
what kinda camera are you using to record your reviews? :) Looks real sharp
Lost a oneplus 3, bought another one. I'm power user. Thinking about that axon 7 as a media phone bet never the Alcatel.
Floss might disagree with me on this but I didn't really feel that Axon 7. Build quality was a major go, but IDK man, there was some shit I didn't like about that mother. I will say though, I shot some video with it and it was clear as fuck and the audio was on point too. The CAMERA part though sucked, Floss is right on the money on that shit.
if I were you man, I'd hit up that One Plus 3, people seem to love it. I personally have tried all of these phones like Floss except for 3, plus I tried the new Sony X. Follow his rankings they are legit.
hey flosys, hands down, really simple and informative way of showing phone capabilities.
One thing to notice - I think that speaking about lag factor is a bit nonobjective. Unless you've been using a phone for longer period of time, You can't really tell if the phone lags or not, especially the one based on Android which is prone to choking and decreasing speed with time. cheers
Hay flossy Carter I have a question what carrier do you use for your honor 8x
Actually, the oneplus phones are pretty customizable because of the custom roms. Still have my opo and flashed resurrection remix yesterday. It is very very customizable and stabile. And it is really fun to switch roms often. Just try out roms. I agree.. When you get a phone you want it to be ready, yes, I get it. But if you just dedicate an hour or two to your phone then you can get so much out of it. Pretty much every 400$ Phone you have there looks amazing. Still would go with the oneplus 3
i ws looking for ths review..and it just popped up on my screen. gr8 work floss
nice vídeo! what´s the weather widget you have in the honor 8?
+Sergio Lopes beautiful widgets
which is better for just texting and phone calls? the axion 7 of this? Normal user of snap chat, ig, ect. nothing crazy
hey floss, just bought this phone at best buy, i also don't like the no app drawer. where did you download that launcher? thanks in advanced also great vid like always my dude
Another great video Floss. I just got a Moto Z, I would love to see some videos of Moto Z cases and the different style mods
+Lee Hall gotcha bro
floss, please share your car wallpaper that u usually use, many people wanted it much bro
Great review! I really appreciate that you go into detail about your opinions and experience with the phone. Most other review channels focus so much more on tacky production gimmicks rather than actual content. They usually only list the specs and comment on whether or not they are impressed with the specs. Your review is actually useful! Thank you! Plus you are really funny. Subscribed!
PS: I am really considering this phone now after watching your review. I was looking for a small phone to replace my Nexus 5x that suddenly broke. I have been using my Moto X 2013 in the mean time. (It is still working smoothly but I def need an upgrade) I was looking at the Sony Xperia X Compact and the iPhone SE. I really can't see myself using iOS- I love Andriod, but I want quality phone hardware and camera, which can be hard to come by for less than $400. The Sony camera processing hasn't impressed me in the reviews I have watched. The Honor 8 seems like the perfect sweet spot with premium looking feel, amazing camera, fast processing, and a perfect price! I might wait till the Honor 9 is released before I decide but I am really leaning towards the Honor 8.
yo #floss I've been using android for eons now and I'm contemplating trying an iPhone for the first time, you havent reviewed it yet but I'm wondering should I go with the iPhone 7 plus or the lgv20 or note 7.
Really want this, but I can't find an excuse as I have the honor 7. Great phones. Never had any issues with it.
konsul2006 keep the honor 7, save up for honor 9
As for water proof, what I think most people confuse about. That so trendy phrase "IP68" is just not the same than really water proof. One of the reasons I bought a Garmin Fenix 3 instead of the new Apple Watch Series 2. Really waterproof is just not the same. ;) Back to topic.... And Flos, your videos rock. ;) Cheers from Germany.
Hey floss! Does the 3.5 headphone jack sound good or at least better than iPhone 6s? I'm planning to buy this :)
Ayo Floss! I'd like to see an unboxing & review of the BLU studio XL. And yeah! ANOTHER ONE! But the phone looks nice and I'd like to kno' your opinion bout it.
just another entertaining, informative review. Floss rocks.
aye yo flossy what up my man i got a question on the s7 edge does it overheat or get hot when u use it a lot?? I want a new phone idk if I should get iPhone or Samsung please reply
Hi! I was wondering how you would say the honor 8 camera compares to Galaxy S6 and S7? Since you said not a galaxy phone, not as good as even the S6?
nice review. i read in other sites that this camera is flagship quality, i little bit down in low light but awesome for $400 phones.
for photographers this is a go for the price
I've been hearing so many contradicting opinions on the battery. Some reviewers are getting 5 hours screen on time and others are like flossy with 3 hours. I'm not to heavy a user so i doubt i'll need to worry to much
My battery life has been amazing...not a complaint about this phone outside of the lack of app drawer option.... I have stayed with stock UI, adjusted to it, and now live it.
+Damon Nevils if you're not a heavy user than you can easily get 5 hours. When I test phone batteries I'm just the phone for hours straight. This one isn't getting past 4 for sure
not super heavy user....but I am in my phone all day....No it ain't no.marathon runner but she's alright...
but I am getting about 6p life, admittedly I'm not a savage with screen brightness
Floss you need to do a smack down between the Moto Mod speaker and the Axon. I am hearing a lot about the Axon speakers and wonder if it can compare.
+Witcherworks it definitely can't compare bro
Flossy Carter Just in loudness or actually quality?
+Witcherworks both!
Flossy Carter Cool got yah. You really liking them moto mods lol. I am trying not to go to the dark side with apple. I am really liking that the Apple Watch is waterproof. Not resistant cough... hehe
Yo Floss! Great video as always, you always get so in depth and don't bull shit... I have the honor 8 and I like it, but sometimes videos won't play and I have to restart the phone, read online the software is a bit buggy, plus I am not a fan of the IOS style notification shade and just the software in general, so I am thinking of exchanging it, I have until Thursday... Any ideas as far what you feel would be a better phone in the same price range? thank you!
I'm torn between Honor 8 and Samsung S7. Cam's a huge deal for me but damn that price difference. Honor 8 looks so good but I'm coming from LG G4 so S7 is screaming to me.
Razmataz Honor 8 is not better than s7
What did you decide?
Are you going to review the JBL Authentics L16?
Another good video. I bought the Hauwei Honor 8 but had issues with the ambient display (as in the phone would just go dark on its own!) and the software is crap. The Moto Z Play is Verizon exclusive so it shouldn't be compared with the other unlocked truely $400.00 phones.
Dan Satalino are you sure you didn't have auto brightness on
That was the problem, yes auto brightness was not AUTO at all!
strange thing that you only get 3-4 sot ? i get about 5 hour.... and on xda a.lots get over 6 to 7 hours. great review man and keep up the good work ! 🎬 i love my Honor 8 ! 😃 most bang for the buck right now.i think.....
are you selling some of your Note 5 cases?
Back again with another review! #salute
flossy can you make a unboxing on the asunBluetooth smartwatch they only sell it on Amazon it's a 5.1 android smartwatch
thanks great review
hey man do you ever sell your older phones hit me up
Flossy from across the waters. Honor 8, Xiaomi Mi5 or OnePlus 3T? My main needs are camera, battery & compactness (ref Samsung S4). What's your recommendation?
Thanks and entertaining video as usual.
