Honor Malaysia officially launched their latest flagship today with the Honor 8. Featuring a new 15-layer glass back and front with a slim and thin metal frame body, the smartphone takes a step upward past its entry-level to midrange beginnings while keeping very much in tune with its roots. Utilizing a dual rear camera setup with one colour and one monochrome sensor, the Honor 8 looks to offer better bokeh effects and vivid image capture than its previous dual rear camera offering, the Honor 6 Plus.
Available in black, gold, sapphire blue and white, the phone comes in two variants and pricing with the 4GB RAM / 32GB storage (black and white) version going for RM1699 and the 4GB RAM / 64GB storage (gold and sapphire blue) version going for RM1899. It should be available starting 8 September 2016 from VMALL.my and Lazada along with DirectD and SenHeng with a whole bunch of freebies. In addition, there will be a 12 months device exchange and 3 months screen protection policy.
