Huawei 51090RGP Overview

Stay connected on the go with the Huawei Honor 8 32GB Smartphone in Midnight Black. This 4G LTE smartphone is equipped with 4GB of RAM and an octa-core HiSilicon Kirin chipset that utilizes two quad-core processors, one running at 2.3 GHz and the other at 1.8 GHz, along with an always-on i5 co-processor.

The Honor 8 houses a 5.2" IPS LCD touchscreen with 1920 x 1080 resolution for full support of FHD content. A front-facing 8MP f/2.4 camera is equipped with flash for low-light self-portraits. At the rear, a pair of 12MP f/2.2 cameras with dual-tone flash capture extra detail for your photos and videos and a fingerprint reader lets you unlock your device quickly and securely.

The Honor 8 is also well-equipped for wireless communication thanks to Bluetooth 4.2 wireless connectivity, NFC, GPS, and 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi. The Honor 8's 3000mAh battery lasts approximately 1.75 days under normal usage and can reach 50% capacity from empty in about 30 minutes with select 2A chargers.

Dual Cameras
Rear Cameras
The Honor 8 features two f/2.2 rear-facing cameras that work in tandem to improve your photos. One records RGB color and the other works in monochrome, and both images are combined for a sharper, more detailed image. Dual LED flashes help to evenly illuminate your subject.
Front Camera
The f/2.4 wide-angle 8MP front-facing camera has a flash of its own and can record in HDR.
Fingerprint Reader
The 3D fingerprint reader located on the back of the device can unlock your phone in as little as 0.4 seconds, and can be customized to access compatible apps.
GSM / 4G LTE Wireless Connectivity
This phone is designed to work on select GSM networks and is 4G LTE capable. LTE is an advanced cellular network data protocol capable of data speeds so fast that they compete with wired broadband Internet providers. With an LTE connection, this phone should have no problem streaming HD video, downloading apps, uploading photos, or anything else that requires a high-speed data connection. The phone is also backwards compatible with 3G and 2G data for instances when you can't get LTE. In addition to cellular wireless, this phone also features Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity.
Note: Not compatible with all cellular networks. Please make sure your provider uses a frequency or band that this phone supports. You can check which bands this phone works with in the specifications.
North American Variant / US Compatible LTE

Android 6.0 Marshmallow
The Android operating system integrates heavily with Google's services. Using the card-based Google Now, Android quickly surfaces information for you whenever you need it, powered by the same Knowledge Engine that runs Google's web search. It's a personalized and customizable OS, allowing you to add your favorite apps or widgets to your homescreen. You can even download new themes using the Google Play Store, which offers access to more than one million apps, games, books, music, movies, and more. Android 6.0 Marshmallow overhauls permissions, allowing you to have finer control over what your applications have access to. It also marks the debut of Now on Tap, a context-sensitive update to Google Now that checks your current screen for keywords and then searches for them automatically. Other performance and security enhancements are included as well.
EMUI 5.0
Huawei's EMUI 5.0 Android skin lets you customize your device with shortcuts, resource monitoring, and accidental tap protection.
