8 tips for taking stunning pictures on your smartphone For that perfect shot Smartphone cameras have seen dramatic improvements, but technology alone won't produce shots that grab attention. That's where the human eye comes in. Here are eight tips to keep in mind when composing that shot, whether of family during the holidays or sights during a vacation.

Honor 8 Pro Review: A Strong Contender in the mid-range Segment The  Honor 8  is also known as V9 (as it was launched in China with this name, earlier this year).

So is it value for money? Let's find out. Design Huawei Honor 8 Pro is a great-looking smartphone and if you really liked the iPhone 7 Plus  (matte version), you are really going to love the Honor 8 Pro. Keeping the two phones side by side, you will hardly be able to spot any differences. The device has a full aluminum body with a matte finish and comes in four colour variants - Black, Blue, Red and White/Gold. While all of these look great, the only downside is that the smartphone is a smudge magnet, and you'll end up wiping it every now and then.
