Some new renders come to us today courtesy of Droud
Shout. Although we’ve already seen photos of the device last month when it was
going through the TENAA, official renders of the device have surfaced. These
renders show the phone will come in at least two colors: blue and black.
The 8A won’t have a dual-camera like the Honor 7A,
but it will feature a dew drop notch unlike the 7A which had a wider notch. The
back of the Honor 8A appears to have a glossy finish, so we can expect plastic
instead of metal like on the 7A.
The Honor 8A will have a 6.09-inch IPS display with
a tall aspect ratio and a resolution of 1560 x 720px with a dew drop notch. The
device is said to ship with EMUI 9.0 (Android 9.0 Pie) and come in either 32GB
or 64GB variants with 3GB of RAM. The MediaTek Helio P35 will be powering this
guy along with a 3,050 mAh battery.
The 8A will have an 8MP front-facing camera with an
f/2.0 aperture while the main camera is a 13MP sensor with an f/1.8 aperture
with phase-detection autofocus capable of recording up to 1080p @ 30fps. Unlike
the 7A, there is no 2MP secondary camera for portrait photos. As for expandable
features, the 8A will have a dual-SIM card tray and dedicated microSD slot to
expand up to an additional 256GB.
The Honor 8A is set to be announced in China on
January 8 in the middle of CES taking place in Las Vegas.
