Less than a month ago, Huawei released the Honor 8, a rebodied P9, in the US. David reviewed the phone and found that while it has solid hardware, the software in its current state is severely flawed. If you're willing to wait for the supposedly completely revamped EMUI 5 to come out, you can grab an Honor 8 from Newegg for just 9.99 with a coupon code and also get a pair of headphones and a clear case for free.
The Honor 8 is a decent mid-range choice if you're looking for a phone under $400 that isn't a phablet; it's packing a 5.2" 1080p display, while competitors like the Axon 7 and OnePlus 3 have screen sizes of 5.5". Other specs include a quick Kirin 950, 4GB of RAM, a respectable 12MP dual camera system, and a 3000mAh battery.
You may recall that the Honor 8 came with a few pre-order goodies when purchased through Newegg; those are still being handed out until September 30th. These include a pair of free JBL Coach headphones (valued at $125) and a clear case (valued at $9.99). Only the white and black colors are available with this promo; the white model comes with a navy blue/brown pair of the aforementioned JBL headphones, while the black model comes with a white/black color scheme. The coupon codes are below.
