While Xiaomi seems to be quite active in India’s smartphone market in terms of the number of launches, another brand which continues to unveil handsets in the country at an unprecedented pace is Honor. Just last month, the company introduced the Honor 8X ( first impressions) in the subcontinent, and now it’ll be bringing an affordable variant in the form of the Honor 8C. The device will be launching in India on November 29th, and before that, we have managed to get our hands on a retail box. So without wasting any more time, let’s take a quick look at the Honor 8C unboxing, followed by our initial impressions.
Similar to retail packs of previous Honor smartphones, the 8C comes packed in a colourful box with the phone’s picture up top. At the back, you’ll find the key specs. You’ll be greeted by the handset upon opening the box. Beneath that, an envelope houses a couple of documentation along with a silicon cover and a scratch guard – both of which are thoughtful additions. Below that, you get a micro-USB cable and a 2A wall adapter. There are no earphones, though that’s not really unusual in case of budget smartphones.
Coming back to the device itself – even though the 8C is supposed to be a toned-down variant of the 8X, the latest handset does pack in a new design. Instead of a glass back, the handset has been constructed out of a single slab of metal.
