The Honor 8S was announced back in April. It was
first launched in Russia before making its way to China. A new listing on TENAA
hints at the launch of a Pro version (Honor 8S Pro) or a successor (Honor 9S),
though we believe it is the former.
The Honor phone has the model number KSA-AL10 which
is nearly identical to that of the Honor 8S (KSA-AL00) and also has the same
design. The specs are also the same, save for the processor which is now a
2.0GHz octa-core processor, unlike the Honor 8S which has a 2.0GHz quad-core
Helio A22 processor. We believe the new chipset is the Helio P22 which is
practically the Helio A22 with four more cores.
The Honor KSA-AL10 has a 5.71-inch 1520 x 720
display with a waterdrop notch for a 5MP selfie camera. The processor is paired
with 2GB or 3GB of RAM and 32GB or 64GB of expandable storage. The rear camera
is a single 13MP sensor.
The battery capacity is given as 2920mAh and there
is no fast charging available. The dimensions are the same as those of the
Honor 8S which is 147. 147.13 x 70.78 x 8.45 millimeters while weight is 146
grams. It will be available in Magic Night Black, Platinum Gold, and Aurora
Blue.
We have no idea when the Honor 8S Pro or whatever
Honor decides to call it will launch but it should be around the corner.
