Huawei Honor 8 To Be Samsung Note 7 Contender: Full Specs & Feature Comparison

Hours before the unveiling of Samsung's Galaxy Note 7, the Huawei Honor Note 8 was surprisingly revealed. The product of a partnership between Huawei and its sister company Honor, which has some killer specs packed into a relatively large screen.

According to Tech Radar, there are a few features that the Huawei Honor 8 has over Samsung's upcoming flagship. First of all, the screen is larger at 6.6 inches, as compared to the 5.7-inch rumored screen of the Note 7. Furthermore, the battery will last longer at 4500mAh, as Samsung's is expected to come with a 4000mAh battery.

The Huawei Honor 8 will have an eight-core Kirin 955 processor and 4 GB of RAM. While the Kirin 955 is said to be as powerful as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, it is slower than Samsung's Exynos processor. Alternately, the Snapdragon 820 is expected to power the Galaxy Note 7 units sold in the United States and China, while the Exynos processor will be found in all other locations.

What truly sets the unit apart, however, is the price. For only $346, users can take home the 32 GB model and $421 for the 128 GB option.

Digital Journal adds that the display of the Huawei Honor 8 will have a 2k resolution, or 2560 x 1440 pixels. The rear and front cameras are 13 megapixels and 8 megapixels respectively.

The unit will have several connection options, particularly a USB Type-C port for power and data. It also includes Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4.2 and GPS. It also has two SIM card slots, which of course are not required.

All these features are neatly packed in an aluminum body with rounded corners. The unit will be available in ice silver, light gold and other shades of gray.
