Honor V8 price in Malaysia starts from RM1484, putting it in the upper mid-range bracket for a 2016 flagship. Under the hood sits HiSilicon's Kirin 950 or 955 chipset, paired with a Cortex-A72 and Cortex-A53 octa-core setup and a Mali-T880 MP4 GPU. That's backed by 4GB of RAM and either 32GB or 64GB storage, with microSD expansion up to 256GB if you need more room.

The 5.7-inch IPS-NEO LCD panel runs at 1080 x 1920 resolution, sharp enough for everyday use at around 386ppi. On the back, a dual 12MP camera setup handles phase detection autofocus and dual-tone LED flash, while the 8MP front camera covers selfies and video calls at 1080p.

A 3500mAh battery keeps things running, charged through a Type-C port, and there's a fingerprint sensor, NFC and infrared built in too. It runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow with Emotion UI 4.1 on top, and comes in Silver, Gold or Rose Gold.
