Honor 8C design and features
Honor 8C has a 6.26-inch HD+ (720×1520 pixels) display. The notch has been made quite small. The area around the notch will show the time, battery level and other status icons. The display of the phone has sufficient brightness and its viewing angles are also quite good. Due to HD+ resolution, text and images do not look very sharp. If users want, they can use on-screen buttons or EMUI gestures. The body of Honor 8C is made of plastic.
Due to the large length and width of the phone, you may find it uncomfortable to use it with one hand. The smartphone looks strong but compared to other smartphones coming in the budget of Rs 10,000 to Rs 15,000, this handset of Honor brand does not look premium. Fingerprints get easily formed on the glossy plastic back panel and due to the greasiness, the phone may slip from the hand.
Honor 8C is the upgrade of Honor 7C.
Like other Honor smartphones Honor 8C Color gradient has also been used on the back panel. The black and blue gradient is visible on the back panel of the review unit we have. SIM tray is provided on the left side of the phone, users can install two Nano SIM and microSD card slots. On the right side is the lock/power and volume buttons. The loudspeaker and primary microphone are placed at the lower part of the phone, while the secondary microphone and 3.5 mm headphone jack are placed at the upper part.
