Honor 8S - user opinions and reviews

Bought this phone for $12 and using it as a bedtime reader. For this purpose it's great: compact, lightweight and the screen is easy on the eyes with reading mode turned up. Minimum screen brightness is also really dim.
I wouldn't recommend this as a daily driver though. It's slow and lacking in both RAM and storage. EMUI is a heavy skin, so multitasking is a no-go even with most of the bloatware removed.

Phone is really lagging now but here is where I stored a lot of old photos / musics on my 64 gigs SD. Shame on my new Samsung Galaxies for not having this feature!

I have used this phone the past four years on and off. It is definitely not a stellar performer. It often lags but does the basics well enough. I am certainly keeping it since it has an expandable SD slot and headphone jack perfect for music and audio files

I got hold of one of these a few weeks back.
It's a great little phone.
It won't set the world on fire, but for web browsing, podcasts, music and simple games it's perfect.
Screen is great, battery lasts all day.

After using this phone for around 1 year...
I bought this phone exactly on 30/5/2019, which was one month after its announcement..
Display:
The 5.7 inch display is great in size for this phone with good adapting to light. The screen is responsive to light changes. The only obstacle for screen light adapting is the battery saver, which limits the screen brightness to around 80% only.
Camera:
I'm not a fan of using the cameras, but with single 13 mp cam with auto focus and limited options in pro mode the camera perform great compared to my expectations. The front camera is good one also to a 5 mp camera.
Performance
With a processor of Helio A22 and 2GB of RAM, I managed to play Asphalt extreme, Asphalt 9, Asphalt 8, Need for Speed no Limits and Pubg with small amount of lag with medium and low graphics with no lags. Before gaming it is better to turn on "Performance mode"
Battery life:
It works with me from 1 day or 2 days depending on my usage. The phone has great power management for real.
