Honor 8X 64 GB Black (6 GB RAM)

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 doesn't 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 good 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 fabolous phn around 15k, brilliant VFM and 10% discount + 1000 cashback (effectively Rs.12500/-) is definitely is a loot..
Thanks for your patience..

After using one week feeling pretty good experience

1 BUILD QUALITY -compared to other mobiles in this price segment this is the good 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

After reading a lot of reviews I will try my good to clear many confusion which I myself have before purchasing
Display - very beautiful... I have used super amoled before so I was doubt full about it but it's really good
Built - amazing
Battery life - very good no heating issue no fast battery drain even charger is fast trust me.. In 20 min phone goes from 56 to 88.
User interface - I was using stock android so was pretty confused about it but it's not much different and I didn't find any problem using it.
Speed - I am not a heavy user for everyday s tasks net surfing it's really fast
Sound - speakers are pretty good didn't find any problem during call or even listening music even I found it loud and clear
Camera - this is the most criticised part of honors 8x I used it and my verdict is
Rear camera - thumbs up.. Portrait mode - OK ok type some time objects edges get blurred
Night mode - worst
Slow motion - worst it just record 10 seconds video that too very blur
Front camera - it's just ordinary type
Overall I will say camera is good not bad at this price range and rear camera is good.. pictures are clear and crisp.. So if you're not much into photography camera wont be a problem as in my case. Even overall camera performance is good
Overall it's really a nice phone at this price..
After 1 week I will review again because it's too early to make an opinion about it

The phone is just fantastic.
Ordered on the launch day midnight and received on the next day. Kudos to Bajaj Estore for fast delivery.
PROS:
(1) DISPLAY: The display is very vibrant and of good quality. The display size is big but for eyes not for your hands or pockets. 10/10
(2) DESIGN: We all know about this so no comment.10/10
(3) CAMERA: The pics are very sharp and close to reality. Night mode is fabolous. 9/10
(4) BATTERY: The battery is powerful and it will be more powerful if used with AIRTEL sim. I have watched 2 movies on
YouTube and still 68% juice left. Taken about 117 minutes to charge from 10 to 100%
(5) NO LAGS: I don't feel any type of lags while using it. Gaming persons can tell about this.
(6) SECURITY: Face unlock and fingerprint scanner works like a charm. No need to press power button for face unlock.
CONS:
STILL FINDING
EXPECTATIONS FROM HONOR:
(1) Please provide EIS in the updates so that camera will work with its full capacity.
(2) If possible please provide fast charging.

the most Important thing to note that Honor has done a spectacular job in the design area for this device...
its not too heavy or big or anything...
the notch is lovely ❤️
display quality is excellent though one can tweek it as they want...
cameras are brilliant aspect of this device (though i saw in some of the reviews that people were complaining about it) well if one know how to go around with snaps and imagegraphy they can produce some beautiful shots ❤️
gaming is also priority for some peoples so don't worry much this can easily handle PUBG or Asphalt 9 easily...you won't notice any heating or lagging while playing the aforementioned games !
battery life was a thing for which i was afraid of but it didn't disappointed me any point...the stats were always good and showed that Kirin 710 is actually a brilliant chipset choice ⭐
one more thing in the price point they have done a spectacular job ⭐

What a magnificent phone it is.!!
1.The battery life is fabolous. With a morerate usage, the battery easily goes for 1 and half days of battery life.
2.Camera quality is fabolous. The pics taken with aperture mode and night modes are brilliant.
3.There are no lags and heating issues as of now.
4. Initially i was bit skeptical about the phone. However after a usgae of 14 days i ak pretty sure that i have made the correct choice by not going with Realme2 pro or Redmi Note 5 pro.

The only take away is the OS EMUI which needs improvement in some areas so as to enable more smooth experience for users.

Writing review after 7 days of usage:
PROS:
1)Beautiful design, almost no bezels
2)Sharp and crispy display, brilliant viewing
angles
3)Powerful kirin 710 with GPU TURBO(no
lag)
4)3750 polymer battery, almost lasts for
more than a day with mix usage
5) Camera quality is much higher than
expectations
Daylight conditions 9/10
Night conditions 8/10

CONS:
1) Fast charging is missing(but if you use fast chargers of other well-known brands then it will charge from 10%-100% in 90-100minutes.)
2) EIS
THAT'S IT!!!
I got this beast for 13.5k
worth every penny

READ THIS BEFORE BUYING

Everything in this phone is pretty except for some features but we can manage that, now the main problem is its display tech. Hello Friend. It is the cheapest display tech. which is used in this phone (tft display) . The main thing about phone is display. Due to the display everything you see whether it is a video or you play a ge, they are of entirely different colours. Ofcourse if you compare with other phone you will see. But to compare you need to buy and Bajaj Estore people won't return your money back.

Well where do I start from. For 15k this is a brilliant phone. I bought it for my dad. I am very satisfied with the phone. Honor have started making very nice n premium phone on low budget. I had also bought real me pro2 from Bajaj Estore for my sis. I compared both I must tell u go for honor 8x, real me pro2 doesn't have portrait mode or bokeh mode on front camera.. display is bigger then real me pro2, this is the only difference otherwise both phones are alike. If u ask me then I will prefer honor 8x

Better than Mi note 5pro or A,
10/10 design
10/10 camera
10/10 battery
10/10 performance
If it comes with earphone and little long usb cable than customer will be more happy
