Huawei released the Honor 8 smartphone just a few days ago, and the smartphone has really caught the attention of the market with its affordable price and more than decent specs. The device was initially launched in China, and it seems that international pre-orders are already live.

Huawei's Honor 8 is up for pre-order internationally on Oppomart for the price of $349, with multiple color and storage variants available. Honor 8 is actually a scaled-down variant of the Honor v8, as the two smartphones do have a similar design and share some specs.

The company's latest high-end device in the Honor series comes with a 5.2-inch Full HD 2.5D curved glass display, which is quite nice for the price of $349. The smartphone will go on sale in China soon, which means that the retailer could start shipping the first batch of orders in the next 7-10 days. This coincides with previous information that suggested the smartphone would ship starting July 19.

Honor 8 comes in two variants, depending on RAM capacity

The smartphone will be available in two variants with different RAM capacities: one will have 4GB of RAM while the other 3GB. The phone also sports a dual camera located on the back, with 12MP capabilities for taking stunning images. It can also record 1080p videos and slow-motion 720p videos. In addition, an 8MP camera is placed on the front of the handset.

Then, the phone is powered by a Kirin 950 chipset, and internal storage reaches 32GB or 64Gb, depending on the variant. Moreover, the device packs a 3,150mAh battery, and the version on Oppomart is obviously unlocked. It runs Android Marshmallow 6.0 with EMUI 4.1 on top. What's also important to mention is that the smartphone measures 145.5×71.0×7.45mm and weighs 153 grams.

Both variants with 3GB and 4GB of RAM are available on Oppomart, but the 3GB version only comes in white and gold color options while the 4GB of RAM one is available in white, gold, and blue color.
