Android version and market relevance

New smartphone from the company Honor got the name Honor 8A Prime and was announced in March 2020 (see all new smartphones 2020). This model is released in the series of smartphones Honor 8.

Smartphone Honor 8A Prime works out of the box under the operating system Android version 9 Pie. According to our information, this model has not received any updates to the software, and if you want to choose some other smartphone on this version of the OS with support for updates, then look at these smartphones on Android 9 Pie in our catalog.

In addition the Honor 8A Prime — is a smartphone for 2 SIM cards, which is ideal if you use the services of several mobile operators. But this model has one weak point — it does not support 5G networks, which can significantly increase the speed of receiving and sending data to the network. If such a requirement for a smartphone is relevant for you today, then we have collected in the catalog all smartphones with support for 5G networks at any price and from different manufacturers.

Screen, body and battery

6.09-inch IPS LCD touchscreen occupies almost the entire area of the front panel of the smartphone Honor 8A Prime and has an almost invisible drop-like notch at the top border to adjust a selfie camera.. Body thickness 8.2 mm puts the battery in it in capacity 3 020 mAh. As a result, these three important characteristics give us such an idea of the device — huge smartphone with very thick case and average battery.

This model could become a flip smartphone and get into our catalog on a separate page, where all phones with flexible screens are collected. Unfortunately, this did not happen. And therefore, if you are interested in smartphones with such top-end characteristics, we advise you to look at them in our catalog and get a deeper understanding in which direction the entire mobile electronics industry is moving. Perhaps, in a couple of years, every second person on the planet will have such flip smartphones.

Main camera and selfie camera

The main camera has one module: 13 MP with a regular lens and, as usual, it is located on the back of the smartphone. The frontcamera at Honor 8A Prime has one module: 8 MP with a regular lens. And this, of course, is not much. There are smartphones with a good selfie-camera. This model has a front camera as usual at the top of the screen, like 99.9% of all smartphones. But, if this makes you bored, then we can offer smartphones with pop-up front camera. In these models, the front camera is located inside the body and goes up only when you activate the front camera mode. It sounds interesting, but how convenient it is and how long this mechanism will work is not yet clear.

Processor and Internal Memory

The more cores the smartphone processor has, the faster it works. Of course, do not forget that the applications should be optimized for the version of Android. But if we are talking about technical characteristics, then the processor here 8-core on the chipset Helio P35. RAM 3 GB.

Built-in memory for storing different data (photo, video, applications, music, etc.) here 64 GB. Do not forget that the update of the software version will be available for your smartphone, and for this you need to download it first, and if the space is not enough, it will not be able to update. Therefore, we advise you before buying to think about how much internal memory you need.

If we scared you just in the context of the built-in memory, then do not worry, because Honor 8A Prime supports memory cards microSDXC. And this means that you can store all photos and videos with music on the memory card.

Price for Honor 8A Prime: buy or not to buy?
