Honor 8A Pro returns as Honor 8A Prime

Honor decided to refresh its model range on the Russian market, introducing a bit of confusion. Honor 8A Pro has received a new name and colour - and here we have the premiere model Honor 8A Prime.

The reasons for this are clear - and it was not about confusing the names. The problem is Google applications. Honor 8A Pro can have them, so Honor 8A Prime has them as well. The model has not changed, it only has a new name, so it keeps the certificate and access to GMS. And to make sure customers don't complain, a new housing colour, Emerald Green, has been added to the offer.

In this way, marketers from Russia can promote the new model, and customers can enjoy Honor with access to Google. And that the model is already a little worn out ...? It does not matter, because we are talking about an inexpensive smartphone for less picky customers.

Honor 8A Prime has a Helio P35 processor, 3 GB of RAM and 64 GB of memory, as well as a 6.1-inch HD+ display. The equipment also includes a classic fingerprint reader and two cameras - 8 megapixels at the front, 13 at the back. The power supply is provided by a 3020 mAh battery, and as a system a somewhat worn Android Pie with the EMUI 9.0 overlay. There is also NFC and a triple card slot, and the first buyers will receive freebies in the form of a band or headphones or a selfie stick. The price is 9990 rubles, or 128 dollars.
