It looks like Honor has a hit, as the recently released Honor 8 has sold 1.5 million units since launch. Although the handset was just released in the United States and Europe, it has been sold in other regions since July.
It comes as no surprise as the Honor 8 offers a strong set of specifications for the price, making it one of the more tempting purchases in the later part of the year. While support from some manufacturers is often flaky, Honor has committed to offering updates for at least two years.
