Huawei V8 – Company’s First Smartphone with QHD Display, also features Dual-Camera

Huawei’s latest Honor flagship, the V8 has been labeled the first smartphone to offer QHD resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels under its brand name.

Sure Huawei has made Nexus 6P for Google that also carried the QHD resolution but with Honor V8 (or Huawei V8) the company has decided itself to bring the higher resolution to their smartphones. It also hints that the company’s next high-end smartphones may offer the same display resolutions.

The V8 isn’t just another affordable smartphone. It carries a lot like a high-end smartphone would do. It takes the dual-camera system from Huawei P9, offers a bigger screen with higher resolution, also sports a fingerprint scanner. That all in a metal body.

Huawei Honor V8 will come in three variants – a premium model, a mid-range, and a low-end model, costing around $430, $380, and $350 respectively. Interesting they only differ at a very few components and are vastly similar.
