Honor Magic8 Pro

Technical specifications

In Poland 5800 zł, and in the UK 900 pounds with a free charger. But the Poles are being taken advantage of... a comedy.

In other countries, additionally a tablet, a tablet keyboard, headphones, a charger, and in our country... only and as much as a charger.

An absolute disaster. I do not know if I received a defective unit or if this phone is simply overrated.
1. It takes photos at a budget camera level; it is not visible on the smartphone screen, but only later on a computer can one see how the AI assembles faces and other details from micro-puzzles, which looks terrible.
2. Signal range. I am specifically referring to the GPS module, which is very selective. It only acquires a signal in open spaces. In buildings and cars, the signal is very weak and it loses it frequently. It is worst on trains, where the GPS practically does not work (even though other phones I travel with on the same trains connect to the GPS without the slightest problem). Honor does not even want to work near the window.
3. Rattle. The smartphone has a "built-in" loud rattle – the service center claims that this is normal and that the camera is rattling. What nonsense. Which smartphone for 5.5 thousand PLN rattles like that? And in such a way as if a pebble or some other element were flying around inside it constantly? Even the cheapest ones do not have such "add-ons".
4. It heats up, and not just a little, but significantly around the camera area. An outside temperature of about 20 degrees plus taking a few photos and videos is enough to make it really hot. The temperature is not such a big problem for me, but this heating does not come from nowhere and it drains the battery dramatically.
5. Finally, one small plus – the speaker. The best I have heard in smartphones, but I am, let us say, an amateur music lover.
It is said that Honor Magic draws from Huawei's experience – nothing could be further from the truth. I have a Mate 50 Pro that is already 4 years old and HM 8 Pro is not even comparable to it, both in terms of performance and especially in terms of photos.
Would I buy it again – never! Wasted money, it is better to buy Xiaomi, Vivo 300 Pro or Oppo Find 9. I advise against purchasing this phone.
