Aesthetically pleasing design with Full View Display and a slim, elegant body made possible by chip-on-film (COF)
Honor 8X Smartphone is the first Honor phone to have a 6.5” full-view display with a 91% screen to body ratio. Furthermore, the device uses a metal middle frame equipped with advanced COF technology and a patented antenna design, while also adopting a 2.5D double texture aurora glass body with a grating effect, providing an elegant and smooth look and feel. The smartphone comes in three striking colour choices: blue, black and red.
Fantastic internal storage and extended battery life
Honor 8X Smartphone has 128GB ROM and supports dual SIM cards slot plus an additional MicroSD card slot up to 400GB. It also features intelligent power saving technology and a 3750 mAh battery, which can last for more than one day on a single charge. Additionally, the power-packed configuration under the hood guarantees a fast and smooth user experience. Not to mention, the sizeable battery makes sure that usage remains uninterrupted for a long time.
Powerful AI cameras, with breathtaking super night shooting
Honor 8X Smartphone has dual-lens 20 MP + 2 MP rear and 16 MP front facing cameras. Plus, the cameras have AI which recognises 22 different categories and 500 scenarios in real-time. Furthermore, the AI technology optimises camera settings and enhances photo quality based on what users are shooting. The new night shooting mode enabled by AI technology eliminates the blurring of photos when taking night shots under a maximum 6-second exposure, even with a shaky hand.
Superb performance driven by the latest chipset technology
The octa-core Kirin 710 chipsets deliver excellent performance in Honor 8X Smartphone. Compared to the previous generation, the CPU single-core performance has increased by 75%. Honor 8X Smartphone has a Mali G51 GPU, which is enhanced by revolutionary GPU turbo. The overall GPU performance is increased by 130% compared to the previous generation, providing exceptional experience to demanding gamers.
AI telecommunication enhances connectivity and voice quality
Honor 8X Smartphone deploys the latest in AI Communications. If a person is in a noisy environment, such as on the subway or in brisk wind, the smartphone will recognise the background noise and enable AI noise cancellation to improve voice quality and enable clearer conversations. AI Communications can also detect variations in signal strength, such as in an elevator, quickly restoring 4G connections to maximum speed right after you leave the lift – users won’t miss a thing.
It is also the first smartphone ever to come equipped with a new generation eye comfort mode certified by TüV Rheinland – a feature which can reduce blue light radiation emitted by the screen to prevent eye fatigue.
Mr. Chris Sunbaigong, President of Honor MEA, said:
With the newly unveiled Honor 8X Smartphone, Honor is setting out to hit new benchmarks in terms of balance between value, design and performance.
We have launched a device that enjoys flagship features at a budget friendly price to cater to our digital natives, the millennials.
We know that millennials are super tech-savvy and that is why we have maxed out all the features found in a flagship and wrapped a price tag on the Honor 8X that does not burn a hole in their pockets.
