Huawei Honor Note 8 - 6.6" display phablet...LTE in Vancouver?
 

GSMarena specs Honor Note 8

Anyone been using this phone with Rogers/Fido in Vancouver and suburbs and can comment on LTE service? It only has LTE B7; no B4/B12/B17. I think I read B4 is the main Rogers LTE band, with B7 used in rural/open spaces, and B12/B17 in urban areas for building penetration?

I've been waiting for a >6" display with QHD resolution. Seems there's only three choices: Honor Note 8, LeEco Max (again only B7 on LTE), and Lenovo Phab 2 Pro (indefinitely delayed, vaporware?)

huawei honor 8 here can confirm

Just want to confirm: are you using the Honor 8, or Honor Note 8?

The Honor 8 has a USA version with B4/B12/17. The Honor Note 8 is only available from China and only has B7.

This thread is about the Honor Note 8, not the Honor 8.

is there no headphone jack

edit: nvm on top

Damn that thing is huge!

Xiaomi just announced a new phone with virtually no bezel 6.4"

Im guessing the giant image is life size ;)

Honor 8
The one I have is the Chinese AL00 version (3gb ram) from China
It doesn't have the B4

I believe it's a 3.5mm bezel. So it's there, but not major, especially on the black model.

Roughly the same size as the OG Nexus 6 because of the design.

Thanked for posting floss' video. Dudes reviews are always on point. Currently waiting for his Pixel "real review" to drop.

Just got my Honor Note 8 yesterday. Will need a few weeks to test it out.

Videos look amazing and this is the first phone I've used where fonts/text in games designed specifically for tablets are comfortably readable. (Star Wars KOTOR, Shadowrun)

More testing is needed, but it seems like the huge 4500mah doesn't extend screen on time much. Screen on time might only be in the ~4-6 hour range.

FYI the Lenovo Phab 2 Pro is now for sale. (6.4" QHD, microSD, local LTE bands, Google Tango AR). It's priced higher at $499US and weighs a whopping 259 g (9.14 oz), over 1.5oz more than the Note 8 and with a smaller 4000mah battery.
