The Honor 8X is like a super-cheap iPhone XS Max, in all the best ways

This shiny, cost-conscious phone comes with dual cameras and more trimmings than you'd expect.

Honor 8X Smartphone Review

An extravagant phablet. The Honor 8X offers a large 6.5-inch display, extravagant looks as well as a good mid-range configuration. Find out how the new mid-range processor Kirin 710 can handle everyday tasks in our review.

long battery runtimes ; design ; GPS ; good selfie camera

ergonomics ; contrast of IPS panel ; Wi-Fi ; old USB standard

The Honor 8X is a well-made and good-looking mid-range smartphone (despite having a display notch). The new mid-range processor Kirin 710 supplies the Honor phone with sufficient power, but does cause some hiccups during everyday use. The good battery...

Honor 8X Review: mid-range as good as premium

You can probably already guess from the title: Honor has done it again. While it's easy to knock the company as “just a Huawei sub-brand”, it has been rocking the smartphone global market, including the US, with affordable smartphones that sometimes...

Excellent battery life ; Serviceable AI-assisted cameras ; Decent performance ; Value for your money

Still uses micro USB ; Slippery fingerprint magnet design

Honor 8X Review

Last year's Honor 7X was an impressive outing combining trendy features with a competitive $200 price tag. Its successor, the Honor 8X, seeks out the natural progression of being better, stronger, and faster – while remaining faithful to its roots with...

Dazzling design ; Long battery life ; Large edge-to-edge screen ; Affordable

Camera can’t handle low light ; AI camera mode tends to produce unrealistic photos ; Weak speaker ; microUSB connector instead of USB-C

Honor 8X review – Flagship-like specs for a fraction of the price

Honor has a strong reputation for making top-notch budget smartphones that don't look or feel budget at all, and their latest release, the Honor 8X follows in those footsteps. For 249 Euro / $285 USD, Honor has a strong reputation for making top-notch...

Flagship-like build quality and design ; Large vibrant display ; Great performance ; Above average camera ; Two-day battery life ; 3.5mm audio jack

No IP rating ; MicroUSB charging

This is an iPhone XS Max alternative that costs nearly a quarter of the price

Honor 8X review: well-disguised economy in phablet form

Are you looking for an affordable smartphone, but don't want to do without a stylish design, a large display and lots of memory? Then you should take a look at the Honor 8X!

Excellent build quality ; Large, vibrant display ; Huawei's AI camera tech

Micro-USB charging ; Face unlock is inconsistent ; Gaming performance

For big-screen enthusiasts on a budget, you can do a lot worse than the Honor 8X. Pull this thing out of your pocket and nobody will think you are holding a sub $300 smartphone. Sure, you will have to make compromises on the chip performance and the...
