Honor Malaysia officially launched their Honor 8 Pro today at RM1999 (official RRP RM2099). Available in Malaysia nationwide, it is the only Honor phone to offer a 5.7-inch 2K or 1440 x 2560 pixel resolution display (perfect for VR and AR) while also featuring flagship tech specs like a Huawei Kirin 960 processor, 6GB of RAM and 12MP dual rear cameras.

honor Malaysia have confirmed the price of their 2K-display, Kirin 960 and 6GB RAM packing honor 8 Pro smartphone as RM2099 with an official pre-order. Those who pre-order will get some still unmentioned freebies (probably a premium case or honor selfie stick but we're secretly hoping for a compatible VR headset). If you're interested go to the honor concept store or Huawei concept store at IOI City Mall.

Today, honor Malaysia has just confirmed our speculation. The honor 8 Pro which was teased two weeks ago will be coming in July 2017 and it will be one heck of a gaming device packing a high-quality virtual reality (VR) content followed by exceptional graphic processing powered by Vulkan API.

So this just came in, honor Malaysia will be releasing “an energetic smartphone” that was design in mind for the millennial and outgoing consumers. They are reallyyy keeping their mouth tight on this one, so we can only assume it’d be the Honor 8 Pro. Let’s see what else they have to say.  

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.

We talked about the much rumoured Honor V9 as an international phone before, but that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore now that Huawei actually show us a new phone - Honor 8 Pro (which was also speculated as another code name) in their Russian counterpart with an official launch date 5 April 2017.
