Design and Display
Upon first glance at the Huawei Honor 8A Pro, the conspicuous cutout drafts you into the coolly laid design. Downwards, the chin is quite thick but it doesn’t hinder the 80% screen-to-body ratio. Its design varies from its sibling due to the fingerprint sensor presence. That said, the biometric sensor enables touch ID on the smartphone.
With the increasing figures of smartphones’ displays across the globe, anything bearing 5 inches could become a myth. In like manner, the phone’s display section is crowned with 6.09-inch touchscreen, 19.5:9 aspect ratio and 720 x 1560 pixels resolution.
Battery and Camera
Well, the battery segment of this smartphone is only moderate for average smartphone users. Heavy smartphone users might consider supporting the 3,020mAh battery with a strong power bank.
The camera department is as basic as you can get based on the phone’s status. A 13MP is assembled alongside a LED flash for photography obligations at the phone’s back. Turning to the other side, the 8MP shooter is designed with f/2.0 aperture for decent selfie production.
Hardware and Software
The software running on the device is the Android 9 Pie OS mixed with EMUI 9. At its price point, the MediaTek Helio P35 SoC employed is a statement of intent from Honor. This 12nm chipset packs an octa-core 2.0GHz processor and PowerVR GE8320 GPU in its arsenal. Seamless multitasking is guaranteed through the 3GB RAM. The expandable 64GB storage is spacious enough to take anything you throw at it.
