The next hot phone that isn't a Nexus device from Huawei is the Honor 8. The latest intel on this device pegs a July 5th reveal date, and a July 12th launch date. We also have a breakdown of specs to share, followed by pricing.

Here are the specs:

• 5.2-inch 1080 x 1920 display
• Huawei-made Kirin 950 or 955 chipset
• 4GB of RAM
• USB Type-C data port
• dual 12MP cameras at the back
  
• 3200mAh battery with fast charge
• Infrared port, fingerprint sensor
  
• dual glass design with a metal body and very thin bezels

Here's what we know about pricing, according to the rumors (4 price tiers):

1. 32GB of storage, and NO NFC chip = $304 (¥1,999)
2. 32GB of storage with NFC chip = $334 (¥2,199)
3. 64GB of storage with NFC chip = $380 (¥2,499)
4. 128GB of storage and a QHD (1440 x 2560) resolution display = $425 (¥2,799)

While there is no word on whether it will come to the U.S., it most likely will in some capacity. We will keep you apprised.

Too many variants, imo.

I'll never purchase a Chinese device but I think it's a good move on Huawei's part....picking up where Sammy left off, being that Sammy can't even release 2 variants these days.
