Huawei couldn't wait until Mobile World Congress and has now unveiled a new Honor 8 variant. The cheaper version of last year's Honor 8 comes with the same design and less powerful specifications, but also a much lower price tag. The phone is now available in Europe for €269.

The main difference is a single 12-megapixel rear camera instead of dual 12-megapixel cameras, alongside a less powerful Kirin 655 processor, while the rest of the specs are the same.
