First things you'll notice:
Gorgeous phone. The light diffraction pattern on the back is gorgeous and has to be seen to be believed- tell people you only spent money on a budget phone and they'll be left scratching their heads. It's a gorgeous little phone, replete with features to make it feel nice. The vibration in particular is a star- it's been a long time since I had a phone that felt this good. The screen is also quite gorgeous, and was a definite upgrade from my old MotoG.
Slippery as snot. This phone is 100% Gorilla Glass front and back. That means if you put it on any surface with a tilt, such as the arm of a couch, it's going to leap off toward the floor. Fret not, for unless you're standing on the third floor and chucking the phone at concrete Gorilla Glass is tough stuff. I'd recommend a clear TPU case if you want some slip protection, although it's a shame to cover up that back plate.
USB-C and a headphone jack. Some competitors can't manage both.
Great sound. Okay it's only one mobile speaker so it's not perfect and it does distort a little at high volume, but this is absolutely the best sound quality you could expect for a single speaker phone. It's done well.
Weird extra bits. Huawei ships the phone with their own launcher, which means when you boot up the phone you'll see a weird affair that doesn't match stock Android. If you don't like what you see, install something like the Google Now launcher and the phone will instantly feel a lot closer to stock. There are other oddities in the manual, such as the ability to take a screenshot by rapping the screen twice with your knuckle. It's a weird inclusion, and the standard Android equivalent is still there (volume down + power to screenshot) but I'm finding myself using the gestures from time to time.
And more! This is one of the cheapest phones to still include NFC (necessary for Android Pay). The phone currently runs Android 7 (fairly up-to-date). Did I mention the fingerprint scanner? It's lightning-fast and accurate.
Pros:
Amazing value. You get a phone that does pretty much everything the flagship phones do, at half the price. I love it.
Sleek experience. Great screen, great vibration, beautiful phone, with all the ports.
All the features. Fingerprint scanner, NFC, gestures, USB-C, and a headphone jack.
Cons:
Battery life when being used continually is borderline low. If I'm reading a book or gaming with the screen continually on I can see a 30% drop in a few hours, which feels a bit paltry. However, the standby power is a different story. If the phone is just doing normal quick texting and calls, the battery feels huge. I think this is due to Huawei doing their own in-house processors, which are suited more to the Chinese market. Apparently they expect their customers to have a charge cable handy when they're gaming, and to use the phone mainly in bursts throughout the day. That makes sense, it's just different, so it won't be for everyone.
As many people report the phone is quick to heat up under heavy use- this may actually be a pro because the glass back does a good job wicking heat away from the internals. Your phone is paradoxically cooler inside, because the heat is coming out faster. In theory, this means that although the phone can get hot, it'll run harder for longer before having to throttle back due to heat. Again, it's just a little different.
The stock UI and bloatware that Huawei puts on this phone is dumb. If you were getting this phone for grandma, I'd install the Google Now launcher and disable some of the stock apps that keeps asking for attention. More manufacturers just need to use stock Android, and quit packaging this bloat. Ten minutes of installing and disabling, and any user will be able to customize the phone to their liking.
Overall:
Loving it. I spent half as much as a flagship phone, and I can do everything they do. Sure the phone slides off my couch all the time (I have a silicone case coming in), and the battery is a little short (I have USB-C cables coming in), but overall it's a lovely experience. Highly recommended, especially if like me you mostly only use the phone in bursts, like reading or gaming a few times a day.
Notifications in EMUI 5 (the updated Honor launcher) are really very good. I didn't have a problem with them before but this feature has gotten better still. This is really a flagship class phone for a bargain price. If you are on the fence about buying one, don't fret over it. The Honor 8 is really very good.**
I've owned this phone for a few months now and the charm has not worn off at all. It is really a terrific little machine and I highly recommend it.
First off, the design is very attractive. The layered glass housing catches and diffuses light in a way that makes the phone look a foot deep. It can be slippery to hold though. I always use a case on my phones so this isn't really a concern for me. As for performance, the Honor 8 is very fast and, with 64gb of storage, 4gb of RAM and an SD card expansion slot, spacious. There is a 32gb version available too but I personally think that 64gb is the better move these days. Apps keep getting bigger and bigger and there are a lot of other things to fill up you phone's storage too.
The one aspect about the Honor 8 that can take a little getting used to is the interface. Honor went with a skinned version of android that frankly resembles an iPhone's look and feel. Mind you, if you don't like this look and want the default android style instead, third party launchers like Action Launcher and Nova Launcher will give that to you pretty easily. That being said, I'd recommend giving the stock Honor software a try for a while. There are some very nice little features built in like "Glove Mode" and "Eye Comfort" (for night reading) among others that are well worth exploring.
The Honor 8 ships with Android 6 Marshmallow but Honor has already announced an update to Nougat is on the way soon. Supposedly, the user interface will be upgraded as well to produce a more stock android feel. I haven't encountered any bugs so far and I obviously hope that the upgrade is equally trouble free.
The 12 mp rear camera on the Honor 8 is really interesting. There are two cameras on the back. One is color and the other is black and white. They work together to produce single images. From what I can see, Honor got it right with this idea. The camera reacts quickly and the images look terrific. Low light conditions do degrade the image quality but, even then, its still pretty good. Additionally, the camera's software includes a number of different filters that are fun to play with (Beautify, Thin Face, Remove Blemish, Enhance Eyes, Whiten Teeth and others) If you like editing images you will have fun with these features. The 8mb selfie camera up front does a good job too.
Battery life on the Honor 8 is very good. The phone comes with its own power management software that allows the user to tailor the phone's performance to increase battery life as needed. You can even go so far as to reduce the screen's resolution to save power. I am a pretty heavy user and I still have no problem getting through the day on one charge.
By now you can probably tell that I'm very impressed with this phone. I've owned iPhones and a few other android power phones as well. This one is the best of the lot so far and I'm looking forward to a few years of solid use from it.

Por cierto llego 4 días antes de lo que amazon predecía en su envió gratis, no paguen extra por que llegue mas rápido por cuestiones de logística no pueden mantener tanto tiempo el teléfono en bodega y apenas esta disponible lo envían. No hubo problemas en aduana, me parece que amazon ya regaño a esos agentes corruptos que se robaban cosas.. típico de México, pero pues el dinero manda y un cliente enojado con una compañía gringa hace milagros se los aseguro.
