The phone is awesome for gamers and casual users.The camera(both rear and front) are superb.

Good product, stylish good sound quality like a speaker and good bass
Must buy value for money
Screen quality pretty good

Best device under this price range.... If you want to buy a phone under 15k you must go for this... I bought it after researching alot.... It is better than redmi note5pro and Nokia 6.1... Actually only Nokia can stand with this one redmi and realme 2 pro both are very inferior... Best thing I like about the phone is 1.design
2.battery
3.speed
4.camera
5.features of EMUI
CONS
You will not believe that this is the best phone ????

Slow motion video:
> its worst
Camera:
> Picture depth effect is not that clear.
> back camera at night isnt good.
> network signal strength is weak.

Bought Honor 8X 4GB/64GB Variety for my office Staff and giving this review after using this phone.
I got this phone at 13100 after applying Bank Cashback and No Cost EMI Cashback of 458, so Kudos to Amazon Great India Sales.
Now coming up on the user experience after use:
PROS:
1. Design is Superb and feel good in Hand. The Glossy dual-Tone Glass Back look gives Visual Grating Effect.
2. TPU Back Cover and Pre-Installed basic screen cover makes this Phone as Ready To Use condition.
3. Fingerprint scanner and face unlock work flawlessly and gives faster opening without lag.
4. DUAL Sim+Dedicated Micro SD card Slot for adding more GB and extra storage to this device as per the need and usage.
5. Dedicated Headphone jack is another good option is available in this phone.
6. Moderate multitasking experience.
7. Screen Size 6.6 Inch with 1080x2340 provides crisp and clear screen.
8. 3750 mAh battery last long and gives more than 1 Day of battery life in normal usages.
9. 16MP frond Camera gives crisp and clear images with detailing and depth effect.

CONS:
1. Back camera is not upto the mark and image quality is also not good, gives some un-natural colour looks like used 3rd Party App for image enhancement. so back camera sucks.
2. I personally dont like the default keyboard as its has many options in one keys which create a lot of confusion while typing and messaging.
3. Night Mode camera is also not useful and images are very un-natural and less detailing.
4. Portrait Mode, Aperture Mode is Pathetic.
5. No Fast Charging and Micro USB port.

Final Verdict.
Yes Indeed its a very effordable mid range smart phone with lots of features under camera and other many user features available in this phone. Some issues with the camera images but otherwise it is a good phone with lot many features which we needed in our day to day usages. But if you have some more budget then you can try some other handset available between 20K-30K.

As its Name says Xtraordinary. It is built to be the best in its price range. Camera issues can be fixed but everything else is designed to last long. The EMUI is wonderful with so many customizations options. No lags. Honor has done a very good job in making the design of phone look premium and with its 6.5" screen size giving way to 91% screen to body ratio.
The processor Kirin 710 is a very powerful in its price segment. No heating issues. Battery is powerful enough to use. Honor hasnt compromised upon any thing. They have given the best possible phone in this price range.
A must purchase phone!! Hats off to Honor!!!!!

After using one week feeling pretty good experience

1 BUILD QUALITY -compared to other mobiles in this price segment this is the best choice as you got sensational metal with glass back side which makes this perfect.

2 PICTURE QUALITY-clicks a little saturated Sharp images in terms of day light the camera detail is pretty clear ,if you want natural image you may select PRO mode otherwise colour will be saturated and warm ,in low light it also clicks good detail. Front camera is decent it comes out with bokeh effect and normal beauty selfie mode , in terms of video recording it unable to gives you the 4K video recording , slow motion video recording is superb.

3 SOUND QUALITY- Not much louder but decent music speaker, in music player the playback option is pretty convenient with 3D sound effect and headphone options,volume is louder in phone mic speaker , the secondary noise cancellation makes it clear.

4 BATTERY LIFE - good phone for heavy users, 1 day avarage feedback with games playing Camera and video recording and phone calls but 1.5 days up to mark

5 PERFORMANCE- The Kirin 710 chipset gives pretty good speed for game and app loading, first choice for PUBG lovers ,the GPU- MALI-G51 having a gorgeous graphics

6 SCREEN PROTECTION-Not sure whether it comes up with gorilla Glass 3 or not but GSMArena specification says it has gorilla glass3 screen protection

I opt for replacement for these reasons. Hope this tyme I got lucky.
By researching the user experiences I can guess that Honors manufacturing unit is not that great because No user have similar problems, they all have different issues either camera, battery, ram or sound.
Bdw, i am facing all of them except camera.

1) out of 4GB RAM initially you only get around 2GB.
2) device is not as fast as I thought. little bit of slow, mostly during data transfer or sharing of files
3) most of the Honor 8X users mentioned that It takes around 2hrs to be fully charged but in my case It takes around 1hr.
4) while charging it heats up little, near camera
5) Speaker Sound is not that loud, I practically found it was not loud enough in a noisy area
6) RAM management is just ok
7) Earpiece Sound is loud but at maximum or near maximum sound level it deteriorates its quality. generally YOu wont need maximum level.
8) back glass dont have oleo phobic coating so, easily catches fingerprints.
9) Battery drains fast. cant say it is 3750mah or not.
.....will update later if I find something else.

After 7+ days of use..
My first honor phn was 6x, 7x and now this one, 8x (wow)
Amazing premium look and build quality which has now become hallmark of Honor devices. But the biggest problem this time is glass back, it really really slippery cant imagine using it without back case.. Also it attracts smudges, dirt and fingerprint like a magnet..
But it is a big upgrade from 7x considering the design, camera, display, battery(superb) and specially the way 8x uses the motion sensor, proximity sensor.. (pick up the ringing phn, volume will be lowered, place the near the ear while on the contact screen it will automatically make a call or answer the incoming call automatically, place the phn in front of your face it will automatically unlock and much more...)
Sturdy performance Kirin 710 I think is much better than Sd 660 in all around performance..
Call clarity, call volume, signal quality excellent..
What a microphone, it detects "Ok Google" 5 meters distance from my home television(ads) with such a low volume (lol..)
Dual 4g dual volte..
Speaker loud enough..
Earphone volume is little low
compared to 7x with my Sony headset, quality is better though, now there is plenty of settings inside music player..
Fingerprint sensor is lightning fast and amazingly accurate even with lightest
possible touch..
Face unlock doesnt have infrared camera to detect in the
dark night but it works somehow by increasing the back light of the display
and it is pretty accurate when there is a bright background or wallpaper
but struggles with dark background otherwise face unlock is very fast and
accurate too..
Battery is a big bump what i noticed it lasts around 2 days with light use and around 15 to 18 hrs on heavy use (4 hrs of youtube, half hour gaming, 2 hr calling, etc) also i found around 9 hrs of screen on time.. Impressive!!
Charging time is another surprising element fr me, 7x took around 150 minutes whereas it takes 100 to 110 mins only..
Camera does not have any stabilisation, EIS or OIS(which is
neither given in Nova 3) also it does not have 4K video recording.. Low light or artificial light photography is neither good nor bad..
I like the camera hardware very much, it is way better than its predecessor but 7x used to over expose the images now 8x make it little over saturated.. Wish we will receive updates for camera software from Honor to make it the best camera phn among the competitors(Realme, Mi).. Camera is the segment where they have to pay utmost attention.. I would rate 7/10 to the camera..
Everything else is top class..
Overall its is an awesome phn around 15k, great VFM and 10% discount + 1000 cashback (effectively Rs.12500/-) is definitely is a loot..
Thanks for your patience..
