The Huawei Honor 8 is just in time for the long-rumored Samsung Galaxy Note 7 unveiling tomorrow, giving phablet buyers a cheaper alternative thanks to the Chinese phone maker.
Honor, technically a sister company to the Huawei, showed off its Note 8 specs today, and they are big, with a 6.6-inch 2K resolution screen and 4500mAh battery. Both are significantly larger than the 5.7-inch display and nearly 4,000 battery rumored for the Samsung Galaxy Note 7.
The device also sports a powerful eight-core Kirin 955 processor and 4GB of RAM – the latter of which is rumored to be similar to the Note 7’s rumored Snapdragon 820 guts. Of course, the Note 7 in the UK and pretty much every country outside the US and China may have Samsung’s faster Exynos processor.
