Love the shape of the honor 8 and duel lenses makes this one legit for my use.
Wow! I love all of the neat features. I love that it guarantees a long-lasting battery life. That would benefit everybody, I think.
This sounds like an amazing phone.
I love how quickly this phone charges! My current phone takes forever to charge.
Sounds like a great phone and I do like the act that it is unlocked so you can pick your own carrier with no contract.
I like the wide angle for taking selfies.
I like that camera. I just got my first smart phone, and I had to try to figure it out. They are very expensive and have scary terms like “unlocked.” Glad Best Buy is helping.
I like that you can choose your carrier and change if you want to.
Wow, this sounds like a very nice phone. I don’t have a cell phone yet and this one looks worth checking in to.
This has some great features. I really like it!
I have never heard of this brand it looks a lot like The Samsung galaxy , its great that you get a best buy gift card with purchase.
Sounds like a great product! Thanks for sharing.

We are an iPhone family, but the Huawei Honor 8 sounds like it would be a good first phone for my youngest son. ;)
The Huawei Honor 8 sounds like it has all the features of an office secretary & an attractive package!! The next time I’m at Besy Buy, I’m going to check this out!!
There are so many features I like about this phone. Twelve hours of HD video, 4 hours of 4g browsing, 20 hours of 3g calling or 56 hours of music is just what I need.
What a cool phone. I’d love to have one. Thanks for sharing!
I could do with a new phone.Looks awesome!

some nice features
I love this phone. It’s feature rich without blowing the budget. I love how quickly it charges and, best of all, it’s unlocked!
Wow what a hight end phone!IT looks magical!
This sounds like an amazing phone
That’s a sleek phone. I don’t like how AT&T and Verizon have moved to this lease plan basically where you have to pay like an extra $30 a month for your new phone, you used to be able to get a free one or a greatly reduced one. No contract is the way to go.
That sounds like a really neat phone! I love the color to. The gift card is a great bonus.
I’ve never had a smartphone.
I’ve been considering getting a new phone and I really like the sounds of this one, the Huawei.
The battery life sounds great!
I really like the dual lense camera.
I’ve never heard of this kind of phone. I have to say I have a hard time straying from my apple products, I’ve just grown so use to he way they work.
I really like the idea of not being tied down into a contract. Thanks for sharing this information.
My husband needs a new phone, we will have to check into this.
The Huawei Honor 8 is a stylish and loaded cell phone! The Best Buy gift card at purchase is a great incentive.
Love the looks and color of this phone.Would be very nice to have
They look very sleek and stylish I think they’re great and a great buy
I love all the features but especially that you can change carriers if you choose.
I am phone shopping for my daughter and this sounds like the phone for her.
I love the idea of no contracts. That’s the most stressful part of having a phone.
I think that the New Huawei Honor 8 Unlocked Smartphone looks like a very nice and powerful little phone with a lot of capability and durability.
This looks like a great phone, especially for our kids since there is no contact involved!
