The Honor 8 Pro, which was unveiled in China back in April this year, has been launched today in India with a price tag of ₹29,999. The Honor 8 Pro is successor to last year’s Honor 8 which was launched in the country in October.
The Honor 8 Pro comes with the company’s homegrown Kirin 960 SoC under the hood which is laced with 6 GB RAM and backed by Mali-G71 MP8 GPU. The device sports a 5.7-inch Quad-HD LTPS LCD display which is protected by Gorilla Glass 3.
The Honor 8 Pro flaunts a metal uni-body design and has a fingerprint scanner at the back. The smartphone also sports a dual camera setup at its back which is its biggest highlight. The dual camera setup consists of a combination of 12 MP cameras which help in taking photos with bokeh effects. Out of these two cameras, one has the monochrome sensor whereas the other has the standard RGB sensor. There’s also an 8 MP camera on the front for selfies and video calls.
