Honor 8C First Impressions: A Beautiful Looking Phone With Capable Hardware

While in 2018 we got to see many brands shine like never before, another brand which released back to back phones in India is Honor. The Huawei owned sub-brand is right now riding on the wave of its 8-series of smartphones. Last month, Honor launched the Honor 8X in India, and now in November, the brand furthered the line-up by introducing a more affordable variant of the phone, the Honor 8C on Thursday. We had the opportunity to get a hands-on of the Honor 8C and do a quick unboxing of this phone by Honor. So, read ahead to know more about what the first impressions of the Honor 8C are like.

Honor 8C: Design and Display

The Honor 8C gives a premium look and feel thanks, but do make a note that it’s constructed out of polycarbonate. Unlike the other Honor phones, which come with glass design, this one features a distinct design and has been crafted by a single slab of plastic. This phone comes with a blue hue as well, although it is not as shiny as the one we get to see on the glass backs. We get to look at a vertically stacked dual rear camera setup with the LED flash right below it. Also, the fingerprint sensor has been placed in the middle. The Honor branding has also been embossed in white in its signature font vertically on the side.

Contrary to the 6.5-inch display we get to see on the Honor 8X; the Honor 8C features a 6.26-inch display rendering a 720 x 1,520 pixels resolution. The aspect ratio of the screen is 19:9 and there is also a notch on top which houses the selfie snapper, LED notification light, and an earpiece. Setting up a comparison between the Honor 8X it is pretty evident that the phone’s screen is not at par with the other phone in terms of brightness and sharpness. However, the viewing angles prove to be good.
