The Honor 8C sports a 6.26-inch HD+ IPS LCD display with screen resolution of 720×1520 pixels with 19:9 aspect ratio along with approximately 81.9% screen-to-body ratio and pixel density of 269ppi. The pixel density of 269ppi seems inefficient for the 6.26-inch HD+ display and given that it is a mid-range smartphone, the display could have been kept at a much better side. As for the optics, the smartphone sports a dual lens camera module at the back, backed by an LED flash. However, the smartphone disappoints in terms of the secondary depth sensor of 2-megapixel with f/2.4 aperture vis-a-vis the 13-megapixel primary sensor with f/1.8 aperture.

The selfie shooter bears a single 8-megapixel sensor with f/2.0 aperture, thankfully, with a front facing selfie tonight light. The Honor 8C runs EMUI 8.2 based on Android 8.1 Oreo and is powered by an Octa-Core Snapdragon 632 SoC clocked at up to 1.8GHz, which seems low for a smartphone with 4GB RAM, paired with Adreno 506 GPU technology. The chipset along with RAM configuration seems justified for it’s price. Moving to the internal memory, the smartphone comes in 32GB as well as 64GB inbuilt storage capacity, both of which are expandable to up to 256GB using a MicroSD card. The smartphone packs a 4,000mAh which is compatible with fast/turbo charging.
