Huawei Honor 8 Pro Variant – Emerged (Not official)

As the reports emerged about the global launch of Huawei Honor V9, it also suggests the global variant will be branded as Honor 8 Pro. While keeping the outfit and most of the features similar to V9, the Honor 8 Pro reportedly will only be shipped in a 4GB+64GB model. That’s what we have seen from previous global releases. Unless if the company wants to release all of these models out of China, which is very unlikely.
