Sunscreen smartphone!

Honor, from the house of Huawei, has been launching smart phones every year and with each release, there are interesting enhancements. A lot of these flow from the Huawei R&D centre in Bangalore. The Honor 8, brings three interesting innovations. The Honor 8 features a display screen which acts as a sunscreen of sorts. By incorporating special eye-care technology, the Honor 8 is able to auto-adjust 30 colour temperatures. This means the screen senses heavy sunlight and adjusts your screen brightness for both images and text, without you having to blink and possibly get a headache.

Speaking of the display screen, the Honor 8 allows knuckle operations. If you wish to take a screenshot, you simply have to select the area with your knuckles and your shot is ready. With the Honor 8, you can also write ‘M’ with your knuckles to play music or ‘C’ to open the camera.

What makes the 5.2 inch-full HD Honor 8 stand out, is its combination of glass and metal in design. The two camera lenses produce good images, with one lens dedicated for RGB colours and the other for monochrome. The 12 MP device (with a 8MP front camera) runs on Android 6 and is powered by a 3000 mAh battery. The 4 GB RAM and 32 GB storage expandable to 128 GB is fairly standard.

Considering the interesting package of innovations, we believe the Honor 8 is a good buy at Rs 29,999. Pick up the Sapphire Blue variant if you want a refreshing change from the boring whites and blacks.
