Among those entry-level smartphones is the Honor 8s that I took for a full spin these past few days. Design and Construction There are a lot of Honor 8 models that cater to different market segments. Each device also sports interesting designs, just like the Honor 8c with its frosted matte coating. The Honor 8s, on the other hand, comes with a textured matte back along with a smooth surface which the company calls "dual-texture" design. Unlike the Honor 8c, the Honor 8s is significantly smaller with its 5.71-inch screen and a rounded notched front panel that houses the 5MP camera. I enjoyed trying to scratch the textured part of the Honor 8s as it feels slightly therapeutic to do that. OS, UI, and Apps The Honor 8s is running on an EMUI 9.0 based on Android 9 Pie operating system. Pre-installed apps include Party Mode, where you can connect to multiple smartphones to sync music, HiCare, AppGallery, Honor Store, and Ride Mode.
