Since the Mobile World Congress 2017, it's well known that the Google Assistant is no longer a Pixel-exclusive feature. LG, Lenovo, Samsung, Huawei and thus also Honor will get the assistant in the future. When we started testing the phone, the availability of the assistant was announced after just a few hours. This could be because we set the system language to English for our review though so if you have an Honor or Huawei smartphone and you want to have the Google Assistant, try setting the system language to English and then regularly check your Google Now Cards.
The last few weeks or so, Honor Malaysia have been teasing on social media. It could be Honor 9 aka Light Catcher which will be announced later today, or it could also be the Honor 8 Pro. But more likely to be the latter.
The Honor 8 Pro was announced back in 2017 sporting a Kirin 960 Octa-core processor, being the base of Machine Learning on the device. Unlike the new-age full-view display, the 8 Pro offers a 5.7-inches LCD display in 16:9 ratio. Being a host of a 4000 mAh powerhouse, the device can run 2 days straight without a charge. The dual-12MP rear camera can take wide aperture photos and also support Ultra 4K video recording. On the software end, the phone came with Android Nougat-based EMUI 5.1. Before we head down below and install Honor 8 Pro Android Oreo update, let us talk a bit about the features.
Amazon Alexa has finally found a cozy, pre-installed home on a mass market smartphone. At CES 2017, Huawei announced the Mate 9, a flagship-level device with dual Leica-branded lenses, a souped-up battery, and an Alexa app pre-loaded and ready to go.
As far as smartphones go, CES 2017 has been the year of the dual-lens camera. Both Huawei's Honor 6X and the ZTE Blade V8 Pro (announced earlier this week) feature two primary camera lenses. That said, while the iPhone 7 Plus became the first smartphone with a household name to feature dual lenses, Huawei was ahead of the curve with both the Honor 8 and the P9 (the latter of which also featured Leica-branded lenses).
