It comes with a unique back design
Honor silently unveiled the successor to last year’s Honor 7S in Russia with the Honor 8S. Honor’s new entry-level phone boasts of a dual texture back panel, making it stand out in a sea of gradient-colored backs.
Compared to last year’s Honor 7S, you get a newer Helio A22 processor with the Honor 8S, along with double the internal storage and a larger 5.71-inch display. Like recently-released Honor phones, the Honor 8S comes with Android Pie and EMUI 9.0 out of the box.
