In terms of the price, Honor V8 is expected to be priced at CNY 2,000 in the Chinese market, which is equivalent to an estimated $308 based on the current exchange rate.

Nevertheless, fans would just need to wait for Huawei to unveil Honor V8 on May 10 and decide whether to purchase one in the future or not.

Meanwhile, aside from unveiling Honor V8, it is said that Huawei also plans to release Honor 7i's successor - Honor 8i. According to reports, Honor 8i is made specifically for women.

Based on the previous model, Honor 8i may likely feature two storage variants - one with 16GB ROM, 2GB RAM and the other with 32GB ROM, 3GB RAM.

Since the new Honor 8i is aimed for women, speculations suggest that aside from color variants of Black, White and Gold, the smartphone will be offered in Pink or Rose Gold. Furthermore, since Honor 7i lacks support for 4G LTE, Honor 8i is said to finally come with it.
