Summary
The Honor 8 was announced in 2016 by Honor and scores 0/100 on Mobileverso for mobile gaming — not recommended for gaming. Does not run Free Fire reliably. The display is 5.2", IPS LCD and 423 ppi. It packs Kirin 950 processor (16 nm process), Mali-T880 MP4 GPU and 4 GB of RAM and storage of 32 GB and 64 GB. Battery life comes from a 3,000 mAh battery and 18W charging. The main camera is 12 MP, handy for streamers who post gameplay with a selfie. Connectivity: Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 4.2, NFC, USB Type-C 2.0, OTG. It has a gyroscope — good for motion aiming in shooters and steering in racing games. The phone weighs 153 g and measures 145.5 x 71 x 7.5 mm. It ships with Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), upgradable to Android 8.0 (Oreo), EMUI 8. For Free Fire, the Honor 8 does not run — With the Kirin 950 chipset and 4 GB of RAM, Free Fire falls below the recommended minimum. In other popular games: Genshin Impact does not run; Call of Duty Mobile does not run; PUBG Mobile does not run. Not enough hardware for today’s main games — only older casual titles run.
How the gaming Score is calculated
The score is a weighted average of the device's compatibility with each of the 8 games evaluated. Each game gets a verdict (0 to 100) and a weight, and the final score is the average of those points.
- Won't run — 0 points
- Runs on low — 25 points
- Runs on medium — 55 points
- Runs on high — 80 points
- Runs competitive — 100 points
Heavy games (Genshin Impact, PUBG Mobile, CoD Mobile) carry more weight than light games (Subway Surfers, Brawl Stars), because running the heavy one already implies handling the light one. Each game's verdict combines chipset (tier or real AnTuTu), minimum RAM, screen refresh rate and operating system.
