[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] MrHuman:
I have a different view, when I've been playing say Hearthstone for 3 hours, I don't see any heavy drain of the battery, the drain is similar to normal web browsing.

Our differences could easily be tributed to signal strength.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] aKp1:
For me the heavy usage endurance was not that good! Even with normal usage that includes mail, WhatsApp, some browsing, and calls for like 2 hours, I could only get 6 hours of usage! Thereafter I had to charge! And this was quite continuous usage.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] K.khiladi:
With a 5.7 inch 2k screen, that's quite good. I feel so.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] iGameRam:
Good Endurance for me

I have been testing it with multiple games, running benchmarks , watching videos and making calls etc.. The drain is very minimal compared to other phones I used. The battery lasts more than a day under normal usage. My normal usage includes watching youtube videos, few hours of gaming and whatsapp/facebook . So I think for a phone with big 2k display, its doing a wonderful job!
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] mydragoon:
i guess i need to clarify my post/ feedback. for me... it's nothing special impressive. not to say it's bad, but just that it's performing like it should with other phones. it's not draining battery but i'm also not seeing extra endurance on this phone even though it packs a 4K battery.

i guess it's partly to do with the 2K screen.

and yes, if i'm not going on sth resource intensive like PoGo, the phone can actually last me the day.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] runuc:
Dissapointing

Below average ,even my old RN3's battery out wins it ,same game ,similar handling ,of course there is an QHD resolution factor ,but Honor 8 pro's battery ,one word ,inferior:mad::mad:
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] K.khiladi:
The 2k screen has its effect on battery. It's not inferior per se but it's also not brilliant. It's so so.

I am expecting the future updates to improve the battery performance.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] venugopalu007:
Yes but the previous update fixed it right?
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] K.khiladi:
That update didn't increase the battery performance. It was just bug fixes.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] venugopalu007:
in honor 8 pro group many of users posting 10+hrs SOT, i thought it was increased.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] K.khiladi:
That's completely manageable. I myself got 8 hrs and 30 mins of SOT.

If you use this phone without a break, it can easily achiever 10 hrs of SOT.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] locogdl:
I want a Honor

I see all the world talking about this Smartphone and i want one ,amazing cell¡¡¡
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] venugopalu007:
Go buy one from stores.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] joe2k01:
I've seen Honor phone in a real shop just once :confused:
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] venugopalu007:
They are mostly online , i too didn't seen any local stores in my country.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] joe2k01:
I think it's weird because Huawei phones are in shops
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] K.khiladi:
Honor is a more youth oriented and e commerce brand while Huawei is a more traditional one.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] PalakMi:
It's what Honor says in about on its facebook page (I am honor, an e-brand)
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] venugopalu007:
Yes bro , also marketing to honor is so popular in china where other it is not soo.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] sniperlife:D:
This phone is really made for heavy duty stuff.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] venugopalu007:
All because of metal body.

It is great step to change the glass body to metal ,honor 8 full glass.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] sniperlife:D:
Agree to that.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] venugopalu007:
I am really fear of device getting broken.:rolleyes:
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] sniperlife:D:
It won't happen if you're careful.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] venugopalu007:
I protected with heavy rugged case it will protects.:cool:
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
One of the best metal body design.really loved it.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] shashank1320:
you throw anything and it handles well. not complaint here with heavy usage,
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] hassanjavaid8181:
exceptionally good in all departments including heavy usage,gaming
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] alimir98:
this device can handle every heavy task with no problem.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] itisiryan:
Can last 1 day with heavy use.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] MrHuman:
I've had this phone now for about a year now and boy is the battery still great! Especially under heavy use, I still might get a day and a half (heavy use and SoT around 6h30min).
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] androgenius:
Oreo update?

Are you getting the same performance after Oreo (EMUI 8) update still? My battery back up is rather poor since the Oreo update. Not sure about the Nougat (EMUI 5.1), pretty much started using my device post Oreo update.

Sent from my Honor 8 Pro C675
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] eagle55:
finger print sensor drains the h8p battery

do you have finger print scanner enabled? I disabled my FP scanner because i noticed that it doesn't let the phone into deep sleep state. after disabling the FP scanner, now i get almost 7+ hrs SoT
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] K.khiladi:
Can't say anymore. Have moved on to another device.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] MrHuman:
I haven't noticed any difference in battery usage in Oreo, with or without a BT clock connected., so thumps up for Honor and their optimization.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] GoodJew6:
My thoughts on Honor 8 Pro after 3 months

This is not a flagship by any stretch of the imagination. The camera is good and so is that battery life (all those who the battery is poor, need to recalibrate their expectations with their user experience with previous phones).

Games like PubG, Shadow Gun Legends and even doodle jump lag! On top of that several lags during day to day operation. It's not major but at the phone at this price should be better.

Btw anyone using Nova Launcher Prime on 8 pro? I think EMUI is much more stable
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] MrHuman:
Yeah, nothing changed with the battery with Oreo. I didn't notice any lag in PUBG when playing it, you sure it's not your internet?

A higher rating indicates that the device goes a long time when you're using the phone sparingly: no gaming or video/audio streaming, light web browsing, some calling and texts, etc.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] mydragoon:
Have to say... On light use, the 4k battery is really obvious. It's like a Duracell bunny going all day... :)
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] K.khiladi:
It can easily give last more than 24 hours on light use.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] sniperlife:D:
Can take up to 4 days on very light usage.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
Can get easily 2 days with light usage.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] venugopalu007:
Used this phone for one day.really good with 4000 mAh.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] sniperlife:D:
Really? You got one?
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] venugopalu007:
Today one of my relative got this , beast? !!!!.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] sniperlife:D:
Oh. Then maybe you can borrow it sometimes. :laugh:
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] venugopalu007:
I used full day , really good experience, i will try vr too. Tommorow.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] sniperlife:D:
Let me know once you do. :highfive:
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] venugopalu007:
Sure.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] sniperlife:D:
Will wait for it.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
I don't own vr but this device will give a shot. 2 K display and i read many reviews too , well performed.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] TVJS:
I am not getting a good battery life.. I don't no why.? Even with light usage. I think I should try factory reset l once

.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] P.K.Shivaram:
I got 4 days of usage

Really once I got 4 days of usage with light usage and very low Brightness then still 30% was left, with no backround process in developer option.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] shashank1320:
approximately 2 days of battery on light usage.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] hassanjavaid8181:
on light usage it goes on n on :D
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] harry92008:
Very bad battery performance for me. With very light usage and music.. It didn't even last for 9 hours. The last 40mins on ultra power saving mode. Any suggestions.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] shashank1320:
Haven't seen any such issues bro. What version you are on?
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] harry92008:
I am on version 5.1. go the phone 2 days back.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] shashank1320:
Try factory reset once or go for refund
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] K.khiladi:
Even with a heavy use, it lasts comfortably for 20 hours and more.

Something's wrong with your device.

What's the build number of your device?
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] hassanjavaid8181:
Battery is really good... May be factory reset will solve your battery drain
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] harry92008:
Might be I am the unlucky one. How do I confirm this. Maybe some app is causing the issue. I see that the highest battery drain is because of mobile network. What could be the problem ?? I am using dual sim and one is on roaming as well.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] shashank1320:
Share the graph screenshot
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] harry92008:
Have already charged it to full. Also stopped some apps running in the background. Will post the result after EOD. Thanks guys. The phone is amazing. I hope battery is due to some software on my phone. Cheers!
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] shashank1320:
Good luck. Though you shouldn't have disabled the apps and just check the behaviour normally. It is 4000mAh battery ans should give 20 hrs at least coz nobody will play games gor entire day ;)
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] anil2653:
9 Hrs?

9 hrs of total on time is bad but 9 hrs of SOT is good enough

I am getting 9 to 10 hrs of SOT with total 1day + on standby time
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] shashank1320:
Yeah this is what is expected from this phone and 4000 mAh battery+Kirin in background
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] K.khiladi:
I got around 8 hrs of SOT over 20hrs using data whole time with both aims working.

Using data on sim uses a hell lot more battery than wifi.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] shashank1320:
Yes because the mobile network is not stable all the time and fluctuates a lot eating more battery
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] anil2653:
True that mobile data is consuming more battery.

From yesterday I was only on WiFi and mobile data is ON but not connected

I got 11 hrs of SOT with more than 1 day standby time
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] harry92008:
I think I found the issue. So with the new installation, I had close to 100 apps running in the background even when the screen was locked. I just changed the settings from battery menu and forced all the apps to stop in the background except for a few like WhatsApp and some others. The backup is easily over a day. All good.

---------- Post added at 09:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 PM ----------

Also, I think EMUI is not that optimised. I will think of a few more optimisations and that should increase the battery even further. Cheers!!
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] K.khiladi:
That much apps will surely have adverse effects on battery life. Good that you changed those settings.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] alimir98:
battery lasts longs enough on light usage easily 2 days.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] itisiryan:
Could last 3 days.

Design is amazing all with my navy blue edition.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] mydragoon:
just noticed some "air bubbles" at the edges on the right side of my phone (the buttons side). very sure it's not my screen protector. and very sure i've not seen it before. probably started to appear a few days back...?

does this mean my screen is "lifting"? kinda bummer... considering i try to take good care of it -- got screen protector, got case... **sigh**

[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] mydragoon:
Somehow, the phone does not feel as solid as I'd like it to. Coming from the "plastic" Note 2 which I feel is sturdy and solid (dropped it many times and no issues), with the honor 8 Pro, I feel like I have to baby it, otherwise it might get scratches, especially the metal back.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] K.khiladi:
Impeccably designed and built. Just one niggle, the volume button and power button wobble a bit.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] sniperlife:D:
It saddened me a bit that they ditched the glass back panel for a metal one.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
The best build .
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] venugopalu007:
I will tell this is the best ,solid Designed.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] shashank1320:
glassy design was ditched but thats not a concern as we have a good design here and nothing to miss.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] hassanjavaid8181:
really a good build.no complain
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] dannejanne:
One of the best built phones I have ever come across. It's sturdy as heck and the weight is just perfect for it to feel expensive in the hand. No hollow aluminum design here. Nothing at all to complain about.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] alimir98:

[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] mydragoon:
Sadly, I think 5.7" might be a bit too big. While the phone feels good in the hand, when trying to do one handed operations, it just feels too big for me. Plus, the weight is on the slightly heavy side.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] K.khiladi:
I have no issue using this phone. My previous phone had a 5.5 inch screen and when I compared them side by side, Honor 8 pro is about as wide as my previous phone but a bit taller. The weight distribution is better on honor 8 pro and it feels like a solid slab.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] MrHuman:
Solid feel and decent grip. The big size and thinness naturally creates a bit discomfort, this is unavoidable but a negative thing none the less.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] sniperlife:D:
A bit big for most hands but who cares. :laugh:
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
Have to use both hands. Not for smaller hands.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] shashank1320:
Solid feel in hand with proper grip unlike the glass design. Big size is concern but we get used to it quickly.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] hassanjavaid8181:
despite of large size feel and fits good in hands
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] alimir98:

I like EMUI5 and 5.1, but there are still many little quirks and sub-optimal menu navigation. Example: Cannot set data cycle period. Not all data cycle starts on 1st of the calendar month. Example 2: Power button options. Wish there are more options there like Mute, Airplane mode, etc. To mute phone via volume, it requires 2 clicks - 1st one is press and hold till volume is 0 then another cllick to turn on MUTE.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] K.khiladi:
I am so far loving the emui but one thing is continuously bugging me that when using quick reply function through notification panel, I have to specially click the text to reply right there.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] vijayinani:
No double tap to wake and no double tap to sleep. These are core features. Missing in this phone!
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] iceepyon:
The latest edition of EMUI actually seems pretty good when compared to it's predecessor. As you have the option of enabling the App Drawer.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] sniperlife:D:
If only EMUI decides for a cleaner look.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
Ok with this.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] venugopalu007:
Emui = good .
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] shashank1320:
UI has evolved much as have seen all KK, LP, MM,Nougat on Honor phones and definitely EMUI 5 is a big plus (not exceptional though for a stock android lover)
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] hassanjavaid8181:
emui is very good.love it on this phone
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] grizzlyspid86:
Emui 5 is good, but as Sony Xperia ex-user, I think xperia launcher are more fluid and practical....lucky me found working latest xperia launcher for this phone! :good::victory:

[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] alimir98:
waiting for emui 6 for this device
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] itisiryan:
EMUI 5.1 does the job.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] XDARoni:
EMUI is the user interface that comes on installed Honor and Huawei phones. EMUI features Huawei Home, phone manager, themes, media apps, and is heavily baked in to the entire system UI. While EMUI has a lot of great features to offer (Screen recording, gesture controls, camera app ect.) many people have serious complaints about it.

For a long time, EMUI has been considered one of the more negative aspects of getting an Honor or Huawei device. Over the years EMUI has evolved to be much better and now hosts a great selection of valuable features.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:
Rate this thread to express how well you can see the Honor 8 Pro's display outdoors. In case you've been playing Minecraft for 18 months straight, you might not known how to get outside anymore. Well, find the door and walk through it. A higher rating indicates that it has very high maximum brightness and thus fantastic outdoor visibility in direct sunlight.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] mydragoon:
Outdoor visibility is only so-so. I can see, but I wish it can be even brighter.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] K.khiladi:
It's sufficiently bright for outdoors on the max brightness.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] MrHuman:
Display has very good colour reproduction and imo a very deep black for a lcd. Overall excellent screen, with wide viewing angles.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] K.khiladi:
There's an option in developer options "Increase readability under sunlight"

People should check it out.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] iGameRam:
This was checked automatically when I enabled Developer mode, maybe thats why I didnt find it that difficult to view screen while outside.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] mydragoon:
yes, enabled developer mode and it's checked after that. maybe it's just me... but under certain conditions, it does get difficult to read. that's like rare instances...
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] vijayinani:
Worst
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] K.khiladi:
It's not the best but it's not worst in anyway. I have seen worse than this.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] vijayinani:
Yeah. Not worst. My comments came out of frustration. But, for a phone with 2K display and 30K price, this should have been better. I face lot of readability problems outdoors/under sunlight.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] iceepyon:
Since it's an IPS display you shouldn't expect the same outdoor visibility that you would get with AMOLED displays.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] sniperlife:D:
2K display shines here. :D
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
Performed Very good in outdoor contions.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] venugopalu007:
Ok with the reading under sun.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] shashank1320:
for regular condition it works fine but under direct sunlight, it is difficult to read the screen.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] hassanjavaid8181:
it performs really good in outdoor.no problem
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] alimir98:
having no problem is using in direct sunlight.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] itisiryan:
100% visible outside.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] Laxmpr01:
You should try opening camera under sunlight to find actual readability. It worst than any other phone
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] nathanjdias:
It's kind of difficult in direct sunlight

I have only one problem with the Honor 8 Pro and it is it's display brightness. I do not expect OLED levels of brightness from the screen but a little more output would be helpful.

In direct sunlight it is almost impossible for me to see anything. Yes my outdoor visibility more is turned on. No doubt that under some circumstances it is possible to see clearly outdoors but sometimes, especially when keeping it side by side with another device it's simply disappointing.

Coming to the pros of the display, the 2k resolution and the IPS functionality gives this phone super accurate colors and wide viewing angles.
