I've been playing around with my Honor 8 for a day now and it is a fantastic phone. It really is. Particularly enjoy the quick photo capture feature by double pressing the volume down key while the screen is off.
Many reviews I've seen online seem to slate EMUI. I don't know why - I find it to work very well.
The fingerprint sensor is unbelievably fast and accurate. It quite simply puts the fingerprint sensor on my mum's iPhone 5S to shame. I like that I can navigate through photos in the gallery by swiping left and right on the sensor.
It's going to need a case, though. It is as slippery as a wet bar of soap. I fear that if I drop it, it won't survive.
