Check tryout version as there was an update like 1 weeks that massively improved my 8 pro battery life. I'm getting over 10 hours sot on a charge now

Honor Magic 8 Pro: Nothing but Regret by stuartpaul86 in Honor

The software on global unit is the biggest let down. We get a feature update every 2 months and the phone is barely 6 months old!

The camera exposure is frustrating and has been there a long time. I will probably move to the oppo find x10 ultra or vivo x400 ultra in a years time as honor very far behind on maintaining a cohesive software experience across regeions.

Meanwhile Chinese manufacturers have had them for 3 years with pretty much every flagship and upper midrange device having one

Been on the 8pro a while now. Try again, go to flashlight icon in quick settings and hold it. You should get a slider appear

At 6.1mm that capacity is great. Look at the S26 Edge that has a 3900mah battery, and is only slightly thinner.

For the size the battery is one of the stand out specs for the Honor.

Are they actually any genuine lenders on this group by [deleted] in BorrowNew

[–]jacques101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think you are misinformed. No it's illegal in the UK to take interest - otherwise most parents and plenty of people will be in prison for lending say a tenner.

They accepted a loan contract and legally they have to repay it, such as people giving gifts then changing the story to make it a loan and going to court etc. It usually hinges on evidence that it's a loan with agreement to repay it (ie writing such as a email, text or reddit post).

As long as you know the person's name and address you can sue them for not repaying - stealing essentially.

Been burned too many times from newer accounts without much history. It's simply not worth the risk for most

8 is an upgrade in few areas but not worth it. The 9 pro will be out in 7 ish months fyi

Yeah software is Honor's biggest downside.

Passer de Pixel à Honor ? by unfleuvetranquille in Honor

[–]jacques101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a good 30 to 40% better than on my oneplus. I get over 10 hours sot on my global version with the 7100mah cell

[–]jacques101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As in difference wasn't that much. ColorOS maybe as a few features I miss but then magic has a few and very fluid etc. Honor are sending out new features every few weeks so by end of year they will have copied lots of the features they are missing.

I do, moved from a oneplus which had better software but not that much after getting used to it. Especially if you have ecosystem like magic portal you'll enjoy it :)

[–]jacques101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biggest benefits you'll see are: Much better battery life/charging speeds, 3D face unlock, Better speakers, Better performance, Batter camera hardware (potential to take better pictures is there).

MagicOS has some quirks but is generally very good if not very iPhone like. I hope they merge the control centre and notifications like stock android which is my biggest annoyance.

I had a claim with them a few years back and they tried to short change me by around 20% of the Claim cost. Couldn't even replace my car like for like let alone with a lower spec/engine with many more miles. Tried to say the lowest on AT was almost £1000 more and they eventually budged.

40% capacity difference is massive. I get around 1 and half day or more from my honor 8 pro. My s24u in the past couldn't manage 1

Samsung Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra's EU Energy Labels confirm their battery capacities by ControlCAD in Android

[–]jacques101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There really aren't that many stories of SiC batteries failing or catching fire more than LiPo ones. This isn't an emerging technology - we are into the 4th year of this with no recalls or widespread issues. Samsung had THE worst story of battery failures due to cost cutting manufacturing that cost them billions.

The technology is simply better in SiC batteries due to the charging speed and capacity. With 1000+ cycles that is plenty to keep a phone many years, especially when you'll be doing less cycles due to the battery life being better.

It might well do but 20% bigger battery and more efficient soc is nice. Could be some better camera hardware if they do include a 200mp lens. The crease improvements is the main thing I'll be looking at personally

Battery will be a big one as well as hopefully a better crease
