It has a large screen with a size of up to 6.5 inches, thanks to a thin rabbit ears design with 19.5: 9 aspect ratio, but the Honor 8X screen has a display ratio of up to 91%
In addition, the Honor 8X has Full HD + resolution, giving high-resolution display images with medium color and brightness but a wide viewing angle. The screen border is also relatively compact and slim thanks to Honor using COF (chip-on-film) technology to optimize the screen border area.

High-end design:

Although shaped in the mid-range segment, the Honor 8X's design is clearly impressive. The machine possesses a metal frame combined with two sides of a 2.5D curved glass, which gives a luxurious, firm feel when held in hand
Notably, the Honor 8X's back glass is coated with a paint that can change color according to the angle of view or direct the light. In addition to the glossy blue and black versions, the device has a rather prominent red version.

Powerful hardware:

Real experience, the Honor 8X delivers fast opening and closing speed of applications, applications run smoothly, have low latency and meet popular titles. In addition to optimizing the demand for battle games, it also incorporates GPU Turbo technology, giving better graphics performance while reducing power consumption
For users who frequently use multitasking feature, 4GB RAM is good enough for common multi-tasking needs, ensuring smooth running of heavy applications and smooth multitasking.

AI Camera:

For imaging capabilities, the Honor 8X has a dual-camera camera on the back, in which the main camera is 20MP resolution, f / 1.8 aperture and 2MP sub-resolution camera, integrating AI for self dynamically identify 22 different types of objects in images and 500 real-time scripts, thereby optimizing the parameters to make photos look better
The Honor 8X camera app also features a Super Night shooting mode optimized for night photography, which can take long exposure shots without a tripod
The Honor 8X selfie camera has 16 MP resolution, f / 2.0 aperture, comes with various shooting modes such as beauty, sticker ... The shooting interface is quite simple, beauty mode has many levels. And the font erase feature can also adjust the background blur, focus point after shooting.

In addition, the other Honor 8x features include dual-band Wi-Fi, BT 5.0, 64GB internal memory, support for up to 400GB, NFC, face unlock, side fingerprint sensor after ... The Honor 8X comes with a 3.750mAh battery that is enough to run the device in one easy day.

Reasons I WANT to buy the Honor 8X:

1. GREAT PERFOMANCE.
Despite its low price the 8X does pack a Powerful Punch. The Kirin 710 in normal Day-to-Day use never lagged; at least on my friends phone. Opening of Social Apps is Quick and Most Apps don't lag. Since in Pakistan it costs about 35K its still a solid performer considering that many of the FlagShips cost 50k for the Poco and 112K for the OP6T. And for its current price it offers almost no difference in Day-to-Day normal use. And Games are smooth, no lags in PUBG, etc.

2. BATTERY.
The 3750 mAH Battery is more than sufficient for daily use. And can go for Two-Solid Days with Normal use like browsing Social Media. Or at least it did, On my Friends Phone. He usually Charges it overnight so I dunno. Its a solid performer.

3. CAMERA.
Now this is something that Legit surprised me. On Budget and Mid-Range phones a Solid Camera isn't what you normally expect. They are Average at best. The Honor 8X. It breaks that. Camera is solid. Some of the AI is also. Somethings that require improvement is the Beauty Algorithm. Seriously it makes you look as if you have a TON of Makeup On. Also the Dual-Camera are good both for Photo and Video. Dunno about 4K tho. AFAIK know its there but at [email protected] FPS. Oh well. You can't have it all.

4. Design.
EXCELLENT. Nothing more to say.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now I'm probably gonna Ruin my chances with this but it belongs here. And, Of course, Im talking about why I WOULDNT buy the 8X.

Ill just make this one long Paragraph/Rant so people who don't care can skip this, and in One Word. BOOTLOADER UNLOCKING. Its the only reason and Deal Breaker because of which I'm not getting this phone. I know most people don't care about this. Heck the don't even know about it including said friend. But then again he didn't even change the stock wallpaper or the home screen layout so..... Anyway as someone who unlocks the Bootloader of his phone and roots them ASAP the 8X isn't for me. And even if I were to make an exception considering my afore mentioned points, the phone still has some quirks. Software being one of them. Updates are rare and months apart. The Overall Software experience is bloated. I like the direction the company is taking with EMUI 9. But since I haven't tested it I can't say. Overall, Software still needs a LOT OF IMPROVEMENT.

Thank you for your time.

I don't want to buy HONOR 8X because of MISSING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKING

 

[sakutimz]

I want to buy HONOR 8X because -------

It looks very good aesthetically. Not only that, it's also a very capable unit with the balance of hardware and the often-updated OS. One of my friends had one and from the time that I played it once, I just felt that the cooling system of that unit was impeccable. Both of us played 3 hrs of PUBGM in Medium+High Frame Rate settings and the unit barely become warm to touch. It's also lightweight despite the glass build. Battery was super long-lasting too!

To my fellow entrees, let's share all the luck we can get and have a fun game! :highfive:

No Fs given

I cancelled my order once I heard that the bootloader is locked permanently. It's a shame because the device appears to be nice.

Active Development? LOL. This device doesn't even have an unlock able bootloader. Shame. This is a great device for custom Development. Not as good as Poco but still for half the price where I live. Anyway the permanently locked boot loader is the reason many will not buy this.

irony of all that is , it is showing you are Honor Supporter & they are having this initiative for xda and providing phones with permanently locked bootloader.

They really need to let users Unlock Boot loader and provide sources :fingers-crossed:

Unfortunately that's true. I wish it were possible to remove that to. And as many have said before Honor has no pace on XDA. But thing is not everything on XDA has to do with Custom ROMs, Root or an unlocked Bootloader. Thats only 99% of the stuff. Anyway Honor is using XDA to advertise their phones to people whose first priority is an unlock able bootloader. And even if they do a complete 180 the Damage has been done. No Dev wants to develop for Huawei. Rooting EMUI 9 is a royal PITA.

I'd want to buy the Honor 8X because I had the occasion to test it with my own hands as one of my friends own it, and it's nothing short of amazing.
I've been searching for a viable replacement for my LG V20 that is getting a bit old, and I might finally settle for the Honor 8X as my V20's successor.
Its price will not break the bank at all, but that doesn't mean it doesn't come packed with good stuff. Even if the price is quite low, it comes in a big form factor that I love (I watch a lot of movies and videos on my phone, and sometimes the subtitles are too small and I have to squint my eyes to see properly, same goes for finer details in some videos, they're just too small to see on a smaller screen) and it has a modern and premium look. I never had a 'glass sandwich' phone before, and this one is one of the better looking glass sandwiches with that color scheme on the back. I also love that it kept the headphone jack, as sometimes I use my hi-fi wired headphones to listen to music. Also the big battery will surely last me quite a bit, even if I watch movies, listen to music, or play some casual game. I didn't get the chance to try the camera, but I've watched a couple of YouTube videos about this phone and it seems pretty good, with the AI features and all.
Long story short, I like this phone because it has a huge screen, it's a good looker in general and it feels premium, and it fits my multimedia-intense criteria for phones.
Cheers.

I bought Honor 8X because my dad wanted an upgrade over his Honor 5X. He was using a 3 year old device and wanted an upgrade. Honor 8X became the obvious choice as due to eye catching design, nice bigger screen and huge battery and as usual, trust on Honor brand since last 4 years now. He is used to EMUI so not much a problem as well.
Also, I used the device initially and here is my detailed review about the same.

Launched in September’18 and then making its debut in Indian market in October’18 during Honor fan fest in India, Honor 8X has sidelined almost every other player in this budget segment and is coming up with great reviews every now and then. Below is my personal review about Honor 8X. I am using this device for a week now and ready to give my initial impression about the phone.

Powerful Processor with GPU turbo- Initially I was not very sure about the new processor, coming from Kirin 970, but the phone has been doing really well in terms of performance and inhouse 12nm Kirin 710 is doing an amazing job under the hood with AI capabilities and comes with Android Oreo, EMUI 8.2 out of the box and GPU Turbo boost the graphical processing preserving the FPS and stability and at the same time reducing the power consumption. Kirin processors are known for this right?

Look and Build Quality- So when most of the OEMs does not focus much on the build quality and only adds bunch of feature in the phone, Honor has done a commendable job. Instead of cheaper and regular build quality, Honor has provided a flagship level quality and look to the device. I am in love with this design not recently but since the time of Honor 8 launch (2 years back). It looks expensive than it actually is with its grating effect glass body and superb build quality.

Display- With roughly around 91% screen to body ratio and 6.5-inch FHD+ display with 2340 x 1080 pixels resolution, display covers almost the entire front view making the device look stunning still manage to fit in the same phone size of a 5.5-inch phone, making for an easier to hold even with bigger size. Users who plays a lot of games or watch videos on their phone will definitely love the display and enjoy watching the content on nearly borderless display. Display looks vibrant and color reproduction are really good and allowing users to change the mode to vivid or natural colors which is even better.

Battery- With massive 3750 mAh battery and fully optimized EMUI 8.2, Kirin 710 and GPU turbo, battery does really well and last for over a day with moderate to heavy usage. Various inbuilt battery saving technologies are an added advantage here which preserves the juice for those critical hours. Even though, phones come with a massive 6.5 inch screen, I would say battery life is excellent on this phone and I could easily get 8 hours of Screen on time and over 1 day of battery backup.

Camera- Probably the USP of all Honor phones in any segment they gets launched. All performs to the expectation and 8X is not lacking behind. Dual AI Camera performs well and delivers more than you can imagine. Coupled with 20MP+2MP AI dual rear camera and 16MP front facing camera, you can take amazing picture and no need to carry an additional device specifically for clicking pictures as your smartphone is your best companion for the same. Honor has added the night mode directly without any need to navigate across options and settings. AI does make a difference and there is AI switch given which makes it easier to click pictures with or without as per user's need. Super Slow-motion video does really well and produces interesting and fun to watch videos. I have clicked few pictures and they looks awesome considering the price range.

Sound- Volume through earpiece is good and no challenges there and also the volume through the sound grill is loud enough for regular day to day usage. Certainly, better than my couple of other phones. There are various options available for headphone sound known as Histen Sound effect which can change the sound effect based on the mode you select or the type of headphone you are using, also you can enable/disable 3D sound effect and customize your equalizer. Initially there was some issue and when you speaker volume was more than 70% there were intermittent vibration during music, YouTube play but has been fixed by OTA.

Software- EMUI 8.2 on top of Android 8.1 is really optimized and phone doesn’t lag even with heavy usages. Game Assist, Party mode are added advantages for users who use such feature. Mine is global version so not much bloatware and there is VOLTE support for JIO, Vodafone (tested only these 2). Phone was received with JSN-L21C900 B120 version and got 3 updates within a week B125, B130 and B133 and most of the issue that were there in phone were fixed and no more issues with magazine unlock or the vibration on higher volume. EMUI 9.0 can hit the phone anytime and as I have tested with my other Honor phones, EMUI 9.0 really improve the responsiveness and fluidness by some amount compared to EMUI 8.0 or earlier versions.

Storage- Phone comes in 3 variants, 4/64, 6/64 and 6/128 GB versions. Mine is 4/64 variant and you get around 54.9 GB of free storage on first boot. As phone supports dual SIM+additional SD card support, you need not to worry about running of space and can use external card to store your media, music files.


Call quality and network- Call quality is just awesome; network signal reception is good. One of the advantage on Honor 8X is the dual sim and SD card slot unlike hybrid slot in many other phones pushing us to compromise on dual sim or expandable storage. Wi-Fi supports 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac bands and I would say the time to connect to a Wi-Fi and network speed is pretty well.

Apart from above great features, below are few additional stuffs which makes this phone great-

AI shopping and scene recognition

• Dual SIM with Dual VOLTE with dedicated slot for SD card.
• Face Unlock
• Fully optimize Smart EMUI 8.2
• Super Slow motion
• Super Night shot with AI and multi-frame stabilization
• Inbuilt storage up to 128 GB storage and triple card slot
• Full View Display with Nearly Border-less Design
• Widevine support

With so many eye catching features, Honor 8X definitely ticks all the boxes to be your first choice while you decide to buy a phone in this range. This phone is beautiful, delightful yet powerful and with the competitive price tag of 14,999, has created a buzz in the segment and has sidelined many competition to become a clear choice for many.
