Honor 8: 5 Features That You Will Find Only On Honor 8

Bigger display, better battery life, decent camera, fast fingerprint sensor and a lot more, all those features are common and available in all most all Smartphones. Have you ever think about what makes Honor 8 differs from other Smartphones? Of course, it’s EMUI 4.1!

Honor 8 Marshmallow with EMUI 4.1 offers significantly enhanced performance with smoother transitions and improved features. Let’s have a look at the 5 features that you will only find on Honor 8.

1)   Themes– Unlike iOS (iPhone), EMUI is highly customizable and offers a brilliant collection of fascinating Themes, which is capable of changing the overall look and feel of your screen. As we all know, we can’t change the themes of iPhone without a jailbreaking.

2)   IR Blaster– Apart from normal Smartphone Honor 8 act as a Universal remote controller for your surrounded electronic appliances. The device is supported by IR blaster, lets you to supports 232740 electronic appliances of different brands and can controls all electronic appliances from one place. So you don’t want to have the individual remote for each appliance.

Samsung Galaxy S7/ Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge andiPhone 6/ iPhone 6Plus, on the other hand, missed this feature.

3)   Smart key– The special Smart key button acts as a shortcut key to perform the action or to launch apps. You can activate multiple functions on the single button by- single press, double press & press and hold the button.

4)   Magazine unlock– It’s a lock screen feature which provides you with a visual delight, every time you turn on your lock screen. It’s a fancy eye-catching feature to give more attraction to your phone lock screen.

5)   Advanced picture editing mode– Can edit the pictures with powerful filters including multiple types of black and white filters and artistic filters. You can also add graffiti in a variety of brush style and different mosaic effects to the photos.

Honor 8: FinFET Technology Explained

Huawei has introduced a wide variety of high-end Smartphone in the world market. To showcase high performance, improved battery life and to reduce the heating issue of Smartphone, the Huawei has introduced their new high-end octa-core mobile chipset- Kirin 950 on Honor’s latest product Honor 8.

 

Key Specifications of Kirin 950

·        It is integrated with the octa-core processor.

·        CPU- 4x ARM Cortex-A72 cores (2.3GHz) + 4x ARM Cortex-A53 cores (1.8 GHz)

·        Fabrication process- 16nm FinFET plus process technology

·        Graphics Processor- ARM Mali-T880 GPU

 

Importance of 16nm FinFET Plus process technology in Kirin 950 SoC

Kirin 950 is in-house with TSMC’s 16nm (16 nm or 16 nanometers is the size of the transistor fin used in the chipset) FinFET plus process technology, an enhanced version of FinFET technology.

The efficiency and battery life of the device can be improved by reducing the size of the transistor in the chipset. When the size of the transistor reduced in the chip, it is possible to fix more transistor fins in the same space. The tightly packed transistor fin increases the flow of current, thus improves the energy efficiency.

Compared to 28nm/ 22nm SoC, the size of the transistor fin in the 16nm SoC is smaller and the transistors are tightly packed. The slimmer 16nm SoC consumes less power than other processors and it bring performance benefits and prolong battery life. When compared with the 28nm process which is used in Snapdragon 616 processor, the 16nm FinFET plus process technology improves the performance by 65% and reduces power consumption by 70%. Thus the Kirin 950 makes new breakthroughs in devices with prolonging battery life.
