Right on cue, Honor have officially and globally confirmed the Honor V9 (which was announced for China) as the Honor 8 Pro. We initially saw it a bit earlier with some hands-on pics but the tech specs have been confirmed to include a Kirin 960 processor, 6GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, a 5.7-inch 2K or 1440 x 2560 pixel resolution display and Android 7.0 + EMUI 5.1 right out of the box. It will also have 4G LTE, NFC, 12MP dual rear cameras (one of them being monochrome), 8MP front camera, an infrared universal remote controller, 3.5mm audio jack, USB Type C port and a hybrid Dual SIM slot. It will measure in at 157 x 77.5 x 6.97mm and 184g while still packing in a 4000 mAh battery.

Available in black, blue and gold at mostly Europe, there are no Malaysia release dates or pricing details but it is going for 549 EUR (about RM2594). For the European version it will come with a free cardboard VR viewer, Jaunt VR with pre-installed VR apps and Galaxy on Fire 3 which is the first game to support the Vulkan API. We expect a case or something like that for Malaysia but what would you want with the Honor 8 Pro? We think most of you will say a lower price tag, but if you had the option what other freebies would you want included? Discuss in our Facebook page and stay tuned to TechNave.com.
