Looking at Honor 8 for new phone. Anything else I should look at comparable?

Right now I'm using a Sony Xperia C4 and the speaker blew so I'm looking to replace it. I have been eying the Honor 8 and wonder if there is anything new that I might have missed that I should look at instead?
I seen the Moto G5 Plus just came out but hear a lot of worrying that is a Lenovo phone and won't have a long life?
Anyways, looking to spend 400-500 max on a new phone. I dont really want a bigger phone so size and Camera are the only things I care about.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks

I would definitely look at the higher-end Moto G5 Plus unless you really want NFC. I'm not counting on either Honor/Huawei or Lenovo/Motorola to bend over backward with long-term support.

Yeah I don't use NFC or really care to. Seems like a lot are upset about that with the G5 Plus.

The Honor 8 Pro looks to be a winner if it launches at $500 in the U.S., however it is a bigger phone (5.7" display).

Man while it doesnt seem that much bigger I don't know if I would like a bigger phone.
