The Honor Note 8 isn’t a flagship smartphone, it’s more of a polished mid-range handset, with the biggest selling point being its 6.6 inch 2,560 x 1,440 pixel resolution display. Most handsets are now firmly above the 5 inch threshold but it’s still uncommon for display sizes to reach 6 inch and above for smartphones but that’s not going to stop Huawei from launching the Honor Note 8 with an absolutely massive 6.6 inch display. At that time any smartphone with a display over 5 inches was considered to be too big but the industry has changed since then. A couple of years ago it was considered unusual for smartphones to have displays over 5 inches.
