Honor 8X 64 GB / 6 GB

The glass giant under the sign of the Honor brand (“daughter” of the Chinese company Huawei) looks more expensive than it actually costs, and captivates with a good performance ratio along with richness of decoration. But let's not get ahead of ourselves and break down the whole ins and outs of Huawei Honor 8X on the shelves.

wow effect

When meeting with a smartphone, the “wow” effect involuntarily arises — the glass back of the device, divided into two parts, looks so unusual and bright, shimmering in the light in different tones. A 6.5-inch diagonal screen reinforces the positive impression of the gadget. It is “decorated” by a trendy mono-brow, where proximity and light sensors are built-in, a speaker and a 16 MP selfie camera with a maximum aperture of f/2.0. The image is broadcast on the display at a resolution of 2340x1080 pixels, which provides a final pixel density of 396ppi.

Decent performance

In the “underhood” space of Huawei Honor 8X, an 8-core Kirin 710 chip is installed – almost similar in terms of processing power to Qualcomm’s “dragon” of the same name. Tasks in the manner of consuming multimedia content, gatherings on the Internet and communicating in social networks, the smartphone “clicks” like seeds, and especially for games, the model has a proprietary GPU Turbo mode(graphics acceleration without sacrificing battery charge). The regular drive in the arsenal of the device has a capacity of 64 GB, after the user is invited to resort to the services of a triple slot for a pair of SIM cards and a microSD card.

twin camera

The main camera of a smartphone, as usual, combines two photomodules under its wing: 20 MP leading and 2 MP to help it draw bokeh. The camera has acquired the support of artificial intelligence, which is busy with the recognition of scenes and objects in the frame to automatically select the most appropriate settings for the shooting plot.

Armament

The weak point of the model turned out to be perhaps the sound quality. However, against the background of other "buns" this shortcoming can be completely neglected. Moreover, the brainchild of Honor offers to take advantage of all the delights of contactless payments through the built-in NFC chip, and also provides the owner of the device with progressive ways to unlock the gadget — in addition to the fingerprint sensor, the smartphone can boast of a face recognition system put into service.
