3.9

First of all its a great value for money. As it is advertised its design is sleek and also its processor is very good. The processor keep the device very optimised most of the time. Its battery life is great. One full 100 percent can last you almost a day(including some heavy gaming and surfing).
Its biggest con is the speaker. Its average at best. Its camera also sometimes click some over saturated pics but most of the time it gets the job done.
At the end if you are looking for a sleek premium looking phone with allround performance and a tad bit compromising in the camera department this is the ideal phone for you.

After going through all reviews and videos, i decided to buy Honor 8X finally! And this moment, I am writing a review here and i am extremely happy with my decision. So, here we go with the real review:

1. Amazing display, details are good and crystal clear
2. New unique UI feel (EMUI 8.2)
3. One word for design, beauty. Slim n sexy (black i took) with glassback.
4. AI camera is too good, auto adjust the color and focus along with depth sensers even in low light.
5. Battery is undoubtedly long lasting, thanks to huawei for 3500+ mah battery ????
6. Sound is better, not the best honestly but not low as well, i can say I compared with iPhone 7 and easily did beat it.
7. Better Ram management, fast processing by Kirin 710 huawei processor and GPU turbo for gaming.
8. Type C fast charging is missing but that's not a big deal coz you need to carry type C cable always! Very less people use Type C.
9. 4K VIDEO recording and OIS are missed but that's for motion videos, else totally fine.
10. Under 15k,it's giving you more than what it could have given! Especially with huawei mfd. Brand name, its a prefect phone.
Don't get confuse, go and buy!

Writing this review after three weeks of usage.Iam not going to mention any specs because you guys know it already. I will point out the things that experienced great for me.
1. Excellent design. ????The dual tone will look extremely premium on your hand. I think there are no such device currently look this much good under this price category. Period!
2. Night shot on camera -As usual honor cameras are doing pretty well. The night mode at this device will provide clear shots during night time.
3.Lag free bloatware less EMUI- Unlike the redmi and vivo phones, the EMUI will provide you smooth and lag free performance. The kirin 710 and 4gb of ram will do the job efficiently.
4. Charging and battery- Even if there is no fast charging available, this device will charge upto 90% within 1.30 hr. The battery will last for 1.5 days with normal usage.
5. For PUBG lovers- you can play any high graphics game like pubg with no issues.
6. Efficient notch -Iam not a big fan of notch, But this device comes with smaller notch, and it includes notification LED! It may be silly thing.But LED not available in many devices with notch.

Thanks for reading guys. Trust me guys, this is a beast under 20k category????

Brilliant execution by the Huawei Engineering team. You guys truly know how to make great phones.

I found NO problems with heat, battery life and camera and sound output.

For those who experience battery problems, you need to install apps directly from the play store and not from a backup. This keeps everything clean.

Excellent camera in both daylight and low light. Use the night mode in low light or enable the moving objects feature!! Selfie camera captures lots of light. Both the front and back cameras are very fast. AI mode does seem to increase staturation. In some environments, AI does improve the picture quality. Very easy to disable in scenes where its not required. AI is not enabled by default.

Sound output on speaker is as good as any other phone. I found it as loud as my Samsung Note. As with any phone speaker, use a bluetooth speaker in noisy environments. To get an optimal headset experience, use the sound settings to choose the type of headphones connected.

Now for the real pros.

1) Eye comfort. This is excellent!! For people who use phones to read and to get work done, this feature is a must have!! Eye comfort gets rid of the blue light completely. My eyes didnt tire out as it does with other phones and laptops, specially after 11 at night.

2) Excellent display. Super clarity. One look and you can feel the colors pop.

3) Automatic brightness works amazingly well. Its very fast to detect changing light environments.

4) Build quality and screen size - Huawei has put a lot of thought into this and it shows. Feels smooth, solid and premium!!

5) Firefox, Chrome, Skype, Word, Excel, Camera etc etc instantly load from RAM. Excellent memory management.

Looking forward to some great updates.

I will break it into pros and cons:
Starting with pros:
Bigger and better display. Best in the price segment
Face unlock and fingerprint is ver responsive and fast.
The all new kirin 710 makes it smooth like butter
Back camera is awesome
Battery is 3750 but still due to emui aggressive ram management works like 4000 mah.
This small notch like one plus 6 is quite pleasing unlike poco f1.
Gpu turbo support for higher frame rates and low power consumption.
Dedicated npu for the ai support.
The buit quality is awesome that u can't get in this price segment as soon as you will hold the phone you will feel the difference

Now cons:
Front camera is not as good as expected out of 16 mp.
Although it has gpu turbo. Still the mali gpu g-51 is significantly less powerful than is competitor adreno 512 in real me 2pro.(well if you ask me i think gpu turbo is a bit of marketing gimic).
No heating issues but with intense pubg your device will get warm.
No gorilla glass.
VERDICT :
totally go for it you can't get a better built quality and better looking phone at this price segment with great back camera an awesome processor.

With its solid performance, versatile camera and metal and glass build, the Honor 8X is great way to get a phone that looks and feels expensive but does not cost the earth

I was surprised by the packing and got confused if this is new or refurbished,Then checked it on the youtube they all are getting the same packing. It is sealed pack with one sticker not packed with the polythene.And the phone inside was also in a thing which I did not expected.So do not get confused by the packing.

Performance is something I cannot say a word about.It is that good.
Looks is decent.Go with the black one as blue one is looking odd as it is black from front.
Display is good enough
Camera does not have any image stabelization so for clicking best pic from it you need to be steady well.Other wise camera is good enough
Night mode is not that good.
Did not try the slow motion.
Battery is good enough but charges slow.
Expected a lot by the reviews but got disappointed.
SO DO NOT EXPECT MORE

First of all Thanks for amazon, for delever the product before expected time. The honor 8x is the best performing and good looking device. The looks is awsome and sound quality, camera, picture, and AI system is the best. Battery life is very very good. Overall the phone is best in this price range. No one competitors for honor 8x in this price range.

A nice device to select from Honor series.
You can surely go with the New Honor 8x- The Beast In Kind Gadget.
*Be careful in caring the mobile as it will be big in our hands....
*Firstly, we should get a best or better mobile case for it in order to avoid accidental breakages and damages as it will be somewhat difficult to hold it all the times perfectly...

Picture Quality:

Rear Cmaera:
The rear camera ???? performance has to be upgraded as it is executing a layer of blur and pixel break in the images..
But we can overcome it by changing the camera and picture settings or even change to aperture mode and pro mode.
Note:- 1. In order to Keep the focus in a right place, and to avoid picture blur and out of focus elements, keep an eye on the exact place to keep the object or the person in the correct place and avoid zooming the lens instead move the device to get close or far from the object.
2. Always Touch on the screen to detect the focus on the object or on the person to be shooter.
3. Don't go for bokeh mode(so how better for selfies and the front camera) and AI Preferences for all the types of images you are capturing as it gives you an unpleasant and negative thought on the camera.. Instead check whether you are in need to use them or not..
4. Always avoid using beauty level to get good and natural stuff.
5. Better to prefer Pro mode and manually select the parameters to get good and quite awesome pictures.

Front Camera:
The front camera is designed with 16MP Megapixel with good support of bokeh effect. Good among all the competitive range of devices.

Sound Quality: It's atmost a good experience for the sound quality perspective but sometimes, in my personal opinion and feelings, I heard the audio of the media files and songs as a base volume which we observe in a closed room or a small closed areas.

Battery Life: It is quite enough for the users but as we are basically humans don't agree with what we have but expect a lot beyond the presence..

This was my first shopping in amazon and if I am not wrong then the last also. I don't know what they think people buying a product worth 15k and the packaging is just simple polymer bag . This is really annoying. Now coming to the products pros and con's
Pros.
1. Build quality and look is really awesome
2. Display is also very good
3. Battery life is much better than realme 2 pro
4. Rear camera is good
Con.
1. Front facing camera is really pathetic this is not a 16mp camera . Picture quality is like 5 mega pixel camera
2. No display protection
