Following the huge splash that Realme U1 made in the budget segment yesterday, Honor has announced the launch of its Honor 7C successor – the Honor 8C – in India today. This device was initially unveiled in China back in October and it has now finally landed in the country.
The base variant of Honor 8C, with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of onboard storage, has been priced at Rs 11,999. The other variant of this device is priced at Rs 12,999 for the 4GB+64G storage variant, and the smartphone will go on sale from December 10.
The Honor 8C is a pretty huge phone and takes inspiration from its elder brethren, the Honor 8X, to feature a shiny rear panel which looks pretty stunning in different lighting conditions. The company uses a 3D nano-level texture design technique to give the device its signature look.
Coming to the hardware specs, the device features a 6.26-inch HD+ display (1520 x 720 pixels) with a notch up-top and a huge chin with the Honor branding at the bottom. The screen-to-body ratio of the device stands at 86.6% and the notch holds an earpiece, selfie camera, and a soft LED flash.
In terms of connectivity, the device features a triple-slot SIM and microSD card tray, along with the usual set of options including Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth 4.2, A-GPS, GLONASS, BDS, a micro-USB charging port and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
