The Honor 8 was a great little phone for $400, we even had great things to say about it. With the exception of a couple of shortcomings, the Honor 8 was a great performer.
The Nougat update brings an updated color scheme and menus of white and blue instead of the teal and gray. So it looks much nicer. Quick Toggles have been updated and made so much better while adding the single line of 6 toggles to the top of the notification shade.
