OK, but then again it's me in the photo. That could be the problem.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] infernalhotdog7777:
Forst of all i'm not fanboy of any other brands when its comes to camera its really bad both side i have tried compete taking photo shoots against samsung galaxy j5. Photos taken in j5 much sharper and clear. Dont blame me galaxy has Amoled display but honor 8 does have LTPS which does have less but good display qyality too.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] Lanjos:
How it does with snapchat?????
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] kennenmain:
its actuually very good
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] TorpedoGirl:
I'm quietly impressed with this front camera, pictures in good light are really crisp, and with low light it's pretty good too. Surely it's better than my old LG G4's front cam.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] sniperlife:D:
My sister likes to take selfies using this phone. She loves it. :D
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] shashank1320:
Very good. Camera + EMUI Gallery and inbuilt options are certainly doing great
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] hassanjavaid8181:
this camera +emui beauty mode=good selfies
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] alimir98:
perfect selfies.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] itisiryan:
High clarity selfies.

There! Something just happened! Did you take a picture of it? Rate this thread to express how fast the Honor 8 can go from "zero to picture". A higher rating indicates that launching the camera app and taking a photo is extremely fast such that you never miss an important moment, like when your cat attacks the couch again.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] mgbotoe:
The speed is very ...very fast. There is a setting to use the tap feature to take picture, half the time that I am fondling with the device when I have the camera up, the phone is taking pictures. Fair to see....it is on point with no delay. Than again, such is matter with perspective. I may be happy with a second delay while the next person may not be.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] OliviaRodin:
One time, I found that my friend can take a gif by using his camera, any one has an idea?
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] Ihaveatattoo:
" I saw a flying horse today!"

No one will disbelieve your observation because you quickly pulled out your Honor 8 and double pressed the volume down button and snapped a picture in 0.9-1.2 seconds.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] malnabokor:
If your screen off just use the method mentioned above: duoble press the volume down.

Also you can set the fingerprint button to launch camera app which could be useful when you are using other apps.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] new2city:
doesn't work anymore for me, any ideas? the phone just vibrates every I double press ...

Was working last time.. I tried and was pretty happy with the speed it snaps it.

it's called ultra snapshot BTW
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] malnabokor:
I guess you have it set so if you open up the camera and swipe left to settings than the ultra snapshot is turned on either with taking picture or just starting the camera.

Did you try restart the phone or anything else?
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] Ihaveatattoo:
I just had the same problem. It was turned on in the camera app but instead of snapping a picture it just turned on the screen. I long pressed volume down and then tried pressing it twice and it worked again. I have no idea what happened.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] Erik1974:
Camera launch speed is very fast. It beats my compact camera both in launch and focus speed. I have set the smart key to launch the camera app which is a huge time saver. Want to take a picture? Just press the fingerprintscanner and away you go, super fast!
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] jkccl9:
very fast and i can take pictures quickly
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] krispy321:
Fast enough
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] brljak83:
I think its not the fastest but for me it is fast enough... so I am satisfide with it for now..
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] FoggyGardenFarts:
Takes about a second to open. This includes unlocking phone with fingerprint from standby. It is very fast.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] PuffDaddy_d:
I agree - any faster and I wouldn't be able to take advantage of it because I'd still be in the process of turning the phone to landscape position and framing my shot.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] sniperlife:D:
I can take many stolen shots with this. :D
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] shashank1320:
fast enough to capture all the moments
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] hassanjavaid8181:
camera launch and shutter speed is fast.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] itisiryan:
Fast and minimal blur.

[Honor 8 Real Life Review] mgbotoe:
My granny can surely use the camera if it comes down to it. You cannot miss the big button that screams "press me". If you swipe life, you will have the different camera modes and if you swipe right, you will find the setting. I like the camera features it come with that you will find in just about every single flagship device. I also enjoy the "mirror" front facing camera they got going on....makes it quick to check out that lil blemish instead of stamping my face in my bathroom mirror or trying to zoom in on the front face camera. A tap will freeze a frame, double will zoom it in...so simple even my mother is loving it.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] Erik1974:
I was a bit surprised by the options the default camera app has, just about everything you could ask for and really easy to use. If you just want to take snapshots you really don't need to bother going through the options but when you do it is very straight forward and easy to understand. Even the pro mode is easy to use and understand, much easier and faster than my compact camera. I might just not bring my compact camera along anymore....
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] jkccl9:
lots of customisable options
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] krispy321:
Love the added feautures
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] i2000s:
I love the customized features. One complaint is that Huawei's own APPs could be accidentally uninstalled and hard to find them back (there is always a way of course). I also found these APPs may not keep updating to the latest version as there may be no APP server in the US (I am not sure). Last time when I reset the phone, the Huawei Health APP disappeared. I tried to use the latest version but it requires to connecting to the HiCloud which is not available to the US users. I then tried to use the native Health version, it worked again.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] b1tt1:
Just thought to give my two cents after having the phone for three months.

I have photography as a "serious hobby" with 15 years of experience with DSLRs etc. Honor 8 is the first smartphone I've had where I'm happy with the builtin camera software! With all other phones (Samsung, Motorola) the first thing I've done has been to install a third-party camera app. Now finally with the Nougat/EMUI5 upgrade I'm really happy with the builtin app. Manual controls, raw support, long exposure, quick to launch, gallery app shows histograms and other info, you name it.

The only improvement I'd like would be to be able to store your preferred settings and them easily return to those settings. Now I easily forget delayed shutter etc. on. There is a button to restore default settings, but that resets also raw mode, gps etc. But to be honest, this feature is missing in some DSLRs as well.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] badohn:
That will be great..
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] TorpedoGirl:
Camera app is really good, personally I don't like too much the "Pro mode", looks a little bit ""noob"" (I don't know how to describe it, lol), but it works well.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] brljak83:
It is very easy and simple to find in the settings what you need..
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] shashank1320:
EMUI 4.1 had limited shortcut tile and with EMUI 5 number of tiles has increased, many other major changes in the UI made this much better to use
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] hassanjavaid8181:
didnt really like emui4.but love emui5
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] alimir98:
not bad
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] itisiryan:
Got all a basic user needs.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:
To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the Honor 8 can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.

[Honor 8 Real Life Review] MrWilsonxD:
I would like to know this as well :)
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] Dopamin12345678901:
Definitely the one plus 3. Dash Charge gets from 0 to 60% in 30 minutes even if you use it. And the phone keeps cool while charging.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] howdid:
Charging is fine it quick charges till 50% and then slower .
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] PalakMi:
Happens on most smaprtphones, fast on the first half, slower on the other one...even the 1+3
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] HonorUSA_Noah:
Hi There, your Honor 8 phone comes with a 9 V 2 A high voltage quick charger. It also supports 5 V 2 A chargers. Make sure you buy an official Huawei 9 V 2 A charger; unofficial quick chargers will not work properly. If you need a quick charger, you can buy one from Huawei Vmall or official Huawei experience shops. Charging times may vary depending on the ambient temperature and the remaining battery level. (NS)
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] timwelter:
It's pretty good, although my old Zenfone 2 used to charge faster.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] mahlecheh:
big like

ok
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] PalakMi:
Are quick chargers available or not yet?!
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] zinko_pt:
That info was already given: H8 comes with 9V fast charger. Search forum. Even from a Huawei support member.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] Nas42O:
Charge is enought fast , from 7 % to 100 % , about 1h30min .
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] Erik1974:
Charging speed is good but not the fastest out there, my old Acer phone with 3500 mah was a bit slower but certainly not miles behind. But for me it is fast enough.

Just compared the 1+3 and the honor8. while honor charges fast, 1+ is way way faster. almost 1/2 of the time
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] jkccl9:
rapid charging speeds
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] krispy321:
Doea chargw fast enough, takes around 1:30hours from 10-100
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] i2000s:
It's good enough for me. But it's hard to buy Huawei's power bank which was told to be the only one compatible with Huawei's fast charging chip tech. I am in the US BTW.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] DigiGoon:
My Honor 8 charges in 1:45 hrs. :D :)
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] brljak83:
Hii to all Honor 8 owners

I have discharged the battery all the way till the phone powered off

Then I did not turned it on and pluged it on the charger

The phone turned off at 2%

It took from 2% to full charged 100% about 1 hour and 35 minutes

I'm very satisfide with that charging speed

And at 2% it gives a warning messege that in 30 seconds the phone will shut down.

So, it is not just shutting down without notice like most phones
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] brljak83:
Amazin SOT on Nougat

7 hours and 40 minutes
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] brljak83:
As much as i had tested how much time it takes

For me if it goes fast it is about 95minutes...

And yes, I often browse so much before I go to sleep to

discharge the phone until it shuts down and then put the phone to charge

And if it is not that fast it takes not more than 105minutes....

And one more thing.. I have tried and cheap eBay type C usb cable

And it charges also as fast charge and I have tested it also and it also takes 95Minutes

all to 100% from the shut down of phone..

Maybe to say too that I do not turn on the phone until it charges complete to 100%
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] PalakMi:
From the official charger, it takes me 110min (or so)
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] pijes:
If you use Ampere app, what's the maximum value the phones draw from the charger? And anyone uses charger higher than 2A output? My stock honor charger maxed out at 2A, I tried my older aftermarket 3A charger (QC 2.0) and it also maxed out at 2A. I know Huawei has a 5A charger, anyone using it?
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] Snowjack:
Again and again I have to point out a perfect review with a lot of information about our phone.

It is here ! - http://www.anandtech.com/show/10678/the-huawei-honor-8-review/9

Honor 8 Only supports 2A 5V or 1.7A 9V, not compatible with Qualcom Quick Charge, only Huawei FCP. Some chargers handle both of the protocols, only you have to find them. I personally use ZMI QC 3.0 car charger (AP821) and GBTIGER QC 3.0 wall charger. None of them is claimed to have Huawei FCP but they do (or at least its fast charging with Honor 8).
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] pijes:
Thanks for the great info. A little bit disappointed to know that the honor 8 only max out at 2A though.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] sniperlife:D:
Chargesmin an hour and a half. Not that awesome though.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] shashank1320:
Initially charges quickly till 60-70-% then slower down a bit
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] hassanjavaid8181:
it charges quickly to 50%.then it charges slow
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] itisiryan:
2 hours on average.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] lifetimes:
Scrolling through this thread has me wondering if something is wrong with my phone. Up to this morning, I went to sleep after 2, phone at 0% (drained quickly for no reason lately) and after 6, it was just at 95% charge. That's about 4 hours charging, phone off with the original fast charger.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] lifetimes:
Some time in the week. Phone off and taking a long time to charge.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] m2relax:
1:40 full charge.

[Honor 8 Real Life Review] svetius:
I can get over 4h SOT. Nice!
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] mgbotoe:
I have been averaging 6 hour OT. Let keep in mind I do not have any social media apps on my phone :) Had all google services running such as google now, and had my location on battery saving mode. I usually run map for about 15-20 minutes on average.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] ouardo:
Really impressed.

WiFi and LTE all the time on, WhatsApp and Skype protected, web surfing and other normal uses. Better than my old Honor7.

Of course never charged.

Edit: it took me over 7 hours before I had to put it to charge.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] Droiderr:
During my first charge cycle after I started using H8, I got 4 hrs of SOT with 50 hrs of standby time. I put it to charge with 21% battery remaining so it should have given in another hour I think. I am a light user.

Will update once I have tested it through more scenarios and heavy usage.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] evilpaul13:
I let PC Mark Work 2.0 run overnight with the screen at ~25% brightness in Performance Mode. It was in Airplane mode because the benchmark says notifications can interrupt it and this was the first time since getting the phone I've had enough time to run it.

I put it on the charger a few minutes before I remembered to take the screenshot. It was at 18% when I looked at it.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] matthias_n:
I can use the phone for 2 days, which is definitely amazing. With that in mind, I usually get about 5-6 hours SOT. Brightness set to 30 percent, Many apps (incl Snapchat, Instagram and WhatsApp) are protected. I'm a student so I turn the Internet off for about 6 hrs per day because the Internet connection in the school is just to bad.

Connected to WiFi as often as possible.

Not many games (nearly never in fact) but heavy Whatsapp, Instagram and Snapchat use.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] mdau:
it seems that the phone can average 4hrs SOT for moderate to heavy usage which is very good
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] malnabokor:
During about 2 days of usage I have 4-5h SOT so I could say that combined 18-19 standby and the SOT is what I have which is really nice after my BB Z10. Mostly FB, Messenger, BBM, Chrome, Youtube and photography.

[Honor 8 Real Life Review] matthias_n:
I've seen it on the Screenshots above and I see it on my Honor 8 as well.. Why is does the software need much more battery than the hardware? Shouldn't it be the other way around?
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] Ihaveatattoo:
Here it's 6-9 hours of screen on, average a little over 7. Maybe I keep the brightness a little low, people tend to say that it's dark but it's comfy enough for me. I mostly use WiFi and the same apps that used to drain my Galaxy S4 before it was evening. Now I can go to bed with 50% to spare.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] br.moss:
Around 4-5 depending on how many games I play :o. I use it quite heavily as a phone too (I know, shock) so I'm more than content.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] salihss:
Standby time was close to two days
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] xontec:
Played games etc. Took it from loading at 6.10 am ended at 22:00 with 4℅. Love the battery <3

Here the screens:
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] AhhdafunK01:
It depends on the network usage !

If you use cell data you're ready for 3-4 hours SOT

If you use Wi-Fi you can hope for around 7 hours
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] evilpaul13:
Yes.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] xontec:
No i had Data cell on the whole day till my battery reached 4℅ .

Dunno how you only get 3-4 hours im a really Heavy User :confused: :D

Hmm. I updated to B385 before but I even got 7 hrs of SOT. :confused:
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
They consume alot and u cant stop then
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] venugopalu007:
we can stop playservices in app settings
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
It will also stop all the gapps from running. Most probably sync will stop .
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] pijes:
I'm on 380, living in average signal quality area (3-4 bars 3/4G) also connected to home wifi, managed to get 4 hours SOT with 42% left
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
Average signal is really a battery thirsty stuff . Radio consumes a lot of battery to bring the signal up.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] adriansticoid:
That's a good one.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] pijes:
yeah, most probably gonna get 7-8 hours which is really good. I'm coming from a 3630mAh moto x play which got me similar SOT on stock rom so getting the same endurance with 20% less battery is great.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
Glad i saw an xplay user. Its still a worthy phone to buy for its 21mp camera
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] pijes:
The x play is just a bit taller and wider but with 5.5 inch screen. Surprisingly the honor 8 feels heavier, x play still win on better feels in the hands because of the curved back. Overall, honor 8 is a nice upgrade. Same battery endurance, better camera, snappy even though on power saving mode.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] bshi:
I can get 4 hours watching movie. not play game.

You can set up batter-saving mode on the power-intense social app like line or facebook.

It will last longer.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] adriansticoid:
You can also set them to be killed in screen off.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] venugopalu007:
Greenify does the job great
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] adriansticoid:
Yes but it won't work as well with root. So if unrooted, better stick to stock screen off killer mechanism of EMUI.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] venugopalu007:
Emui always best to kill apps :laugh:lol
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] adriansticoid:
You know it. Haha.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] joe2k01:
Try it with root. You'll notice the difference
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] joe2k01:
TWRP plus magisk should be enough
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] joe2k01:
Yeah, I did read something too and doesn't look a good one. But if you can restore then you should try

[Honor 8 Real Life Review] joe2k01:
Stock or using something like greenify?
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] venugopalu007:
Good question joe , i also have somr doubts

1. Any social apps are you using .

2 lockscreen clean up apps are all closed ? Or running?

3 which version and what is ur build number because i want to rebrand to that .

4 do you got like this every day or this is the first time.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] joe2k01:
I don't think rebranding would make a difference tho
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] venugopalu007:
In some regions the upades are good with better system stability , so i think it it help .
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] joe2k01:
Then blame Honor for being racist lol :silly:
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] venugopalu007:
Yes , they are , i wrote an email to last month.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] adriansticoid:
No. It's way better to always balanced the battery down to 25% and up to 85%.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] pijes:
1. Only whatsapp - hibernated on screen off

2. Default, I don't touch those.

3. Stock rom (L19-B386) with Greenify, Aggressive Doze enabled

4. This is the first time. On mobile data I usually get 6 hours +
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] venugopalu007:
that was fantastic,Greenify i am coming :D , thanks for your answer
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] joe2k01:
I think this too

---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 PM ----------

Enabled with greenify. It goes to doze in minutes instead of hours
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] joe2k01:
Greenify on unrooted phone is near to completely useless. New batterys don't have the old annoying memory so you don't have to charge from 0 to 100 or to recalibrate. Obviously charging more times on the go during the day hurts the battery
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] venugopalu007:
Seems interesting
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
Yeah, just the same as the average task killer.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] pijes:
this is a good read...

"Similar to a mechanical device that wears out faster with heavy use, the depth of discharge (DoD) determines the cycle count of the battery. The smaller the discharge (low DoD), the longer the battery will last. If at all possible, avoid full discharges and charge the battery more often between uses. Partial discharge on Li-ion is fine. There is no memory and the battery does not need periodic full discharge cycles to prolong life."

Yeah. That's why "calibrating" battery doesn't help much.

Calibrating apps are bull**** lol
