Author’s Opinion
The Honor 8C comes with decent features. No doubt, the battery is huge with decent cameras but there are many drawbacks.
Talking about the competition in this price range, the real competitors of this smartphone are Realme U1, Redmi Note 6 Pro, Realme 2 Pro and Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1. So, the competition in this price range is very heated up.
If compared with the competition, the smartphone is just offering Snapdragon 632 whereas others are offering Snapdragon 636, Snapdragon 660 and Helio P70. Also, the smartphone doesn’t come with full-HD+ display whereas others are coming with a full-HD+ display.
Overall, We don’t recommend Honor 8C to buy in this price range. However, at the time of writing this article, our first recommendation will be Realme 2 Pro (Flash Review).
Note: These are my initial impressions of the smartphone. For Full Flash Review, Stay tuned with our Instagram Page.
