Huawei’s Honor 8 was made available in Europe last week and now the smartphone from the top Chinese OEM is ready in the United States. As promised by the company, the phone will get two years of regular software updates so you can be assured that your phone won’t be obsolete a few months from today or in the next couple of years. It’s a flagship phone alright but with mid-range pricing.

Huawei says it’s exclusive but we’re not really sure about that. It looks like another iPhone 6 look-alike. It’s also sleek and slim and features a 2.5D front and back panel. It boasts of a narrow bezel with aluminum finish. Phone imaging features include 12MP dual lens, hybrid auto-focus, dual ISP, 8MP selfie shooter, the Perfect Selfie mode, and some manual controls if you want.
