We asked you to leave your reviews of the Honor 8X in this thread. Here are some of the reasons people love this phone.

At the heart of Honor 8X is the powerful Kirin 710 Chipset. The SoC is built on the sophisticated 12nm manufacturing process which makes it 75% more efficient that the previous CPUs. The CPU comprises of powerful Cortex-A73 generation-based cores and also features a powerful Mali G51 GPU to tackle complex graphical needs.

Camera is one of the highlights of the Honor8X . It comes with dual rear camera with a 20 mp primary camera and 2 mp secondary camera with f/1.8 aperture and used Al technology. The front facing camera is 16 mp with f/2.0 aperture and the camera also include other mode to look the pictures beautiful.The camera made different from other phones.

The Performance of the phone is good. While you can't play Fortnite Mobile, you can easily play other games without lag like Asphalt 8/9 or the recently released Call of Duty. And if you like to play PUBG the in built GPU-Turbo is an excellent Optimization that increases the Performance and reduces battery usage. The UI is also smooth in day-to-day usage and I hardly found any Lag. App Opening is quick and phone has no problem keeping up. Even with several apps open in the back ground, the phone didn't lag.

It has premium look with 91% STB and minimal chin which is undeniably impressive with its glossy textured glass back finish with its dazzling light reflecting properties, metal trim, notched display, and eye-catching looks all around.

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.

you are getting a 6.5-inch FullView IPS LCD display with FHD+ (1080x2340 pixels) resolution, giving a 91% screen to body ratio, which is difficult to find in smartphones coming at this price range. The screen is immersive enough and fortunately the notch is not a distraction here.

The cameras are an absolute delight to use as well, both front and back cameras have everything a flagship device camera has and portrait mode looks stunning with really good edge detection.

@XDARoni while I appreciate these posts and like the fact that Honor wants to communicate with the community, I'd more like a post regarding the Software. In the above mentioned review thread I also mentioned that the Software of the Honor Phones (EMUI) is TERRIBLE. So a thread in which Honor asks the community on how they can improve their software is what I'd like to see. It doesn't have to be a give away. It doesn't even need to have a reward. Just a simple chat with a Honor Rep in which we can discuss what we don't like about EMUI, how can it be improved and most importantly see it implemented. For example in the thread Ask the Honor 8X Product Manager a Question, we asked questions, the winners were announced. Yet not even a SINGLE Question was answered. In fact some of the users had to answer the Questions. Similarly in this thread ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-10/how-to/understand-chat-honor-ceo-friday-t3793317/page37 ) same thing happened with the fake CEO. Thanks.
