Huawei Honor 8 Doctor Strange Limited Edition
Huawei Terminal brand Honor has announced two
special promotions in the UK tied to the release of the Doctor Strange movie. The first will see a limited edition handset with the Eye of
Agamotto symbol etched onto the back of the smartphone given to winners of a
competition, while the other will see the first registrants of the Honor 8
smartphone on carrier Three UK get tickets to the movie and Marvel movie
downloads.
The Honor 8 Doctor Strange limited
edition handset will not be available to buy unfortunately. Those interested
will have to keep checking the Marvel UK Facebook page until the contest
promotion is posted with details on how they can win the limited edition
smartphone.
The Three UK promotion is a bit simpler, where the
first 3,000 registrants of the Honor 8 via the carrier will get two free Doctor
Strange movie tickets and four digital Marvel movie downloads via Google Play -
Captain America: The First Avenger, Iron Man, Iron Man 2, and Thor. The movies
will have to be redeemed before January 31, 2017. The offer is valid for anyone
who bought the device between October 3 and November 30 via a Three UK store or
online via the Three UK site. To avail of the offer, buyers will have to enter
their handset's IMEI number on the Honor 8 Marvel Offer site, where detailed
terms and conditions are also mentioned.
The biggest highlight of the Honor 8 is its
dual-rear camera setup. It sports 12-megapixel dual-rear cameras with dual-tone
LED flash and also features laser autofocus. There is an 8-megapixel
front-facing camera on board as well. The smartphone sports a USB Type-C port
and also supports fast charging. There is fingerprint scanner at the back of
the handset. Another notable feature of the Honor 8 is its 7.45 mm slim build
and that it comes with a metal frame and a glass back.
The Honor 8 features a 5.2-inch full-HD (1080x1920
pixels) LTPS LCD display and comes with a pixel density of 423ppi. It is
powered by an octa-core Kirin 950 processor clocked at 1.8 GHz. The smartphone
supports expandable storage via microSD card (up to 128 GB). The Android 6.0
Marshmallow-based Honor 8 runs EMUI 4.1 on top. The smartphone features hybrid
dual-SIM slot which means users can either use two SIM cards or one SIM card
and a microSD card for storage expansion. It measures 145.5 x 71 x 7.4 mm and weighs
153 grams.
