[Honor 8X Real Life Review] Ulfrik:
Just received it this week following a discount on Amazon, it is great. It is absolutely mid-range (I have been playing with my friend iPhone XS max and obviously there is a big gap).

Design is beautiful (I have the blue one, looking very good) and screen is as well beautiful in size although I come from AMOLED and the difference is noticeable. But I bet I'll get used to it.

Battery is as promised, 1,5 day for my 2 first cycles with quite intensive usage (that was my 2 main criteria for this purchase - big screen and long lasting battery).

Everything else is smooth and fine, so far I do not understand very well all the criticism about the photocamera. It seems really ok to me, and I have not been playing around will all the settings available yet.

I don't like very much EMUI, but ok, it is fine as well, the delta with normal android is not that big.

One feature I will definitely miss from my good old Nexus 6 was the fast charging (80% in 30mn!) and the wireless charging (I had wireless chargers spread across home and office and that used to be very convenient, never had to plug it anymore). Here charging is a raw and slow process....

But hey, for 265€ !!! The delivery is quite amazing.

So to stay on topic, true love is there! I suspect it will not be a very long lasting true love (as it has been with my Nexus 6, after 4 years together) but let's enjoy a medium term relationship for that price tag

The Honor 8X is the kind of phone you might buy if you want one that looks new, with all the latest design cues, but don’t want to spend a huge amount of money. That the front is almost all screen is the Honor 8X’s star feature. Switch it on, in late 2018 at least, and it looks similar to an 800$ phone. According to me these three key features make this phone worth buy!

-All-screen front, glass back and metal frame

-Good 1080 x 2340 screen

-Mid-range CPU is biggest sign that this isn't a flagship

No bootloader unlock =no development [emoji53]
[Honor 8X Real Life Review] Honor_Fan:

[Honor 8X Real Life Review] XDARoni:
If you're looking for a development-friendly phone, Honor is not the solution for you. We do have a program where we give out bootloader unlock codes to a select number of people every once in a while, but there is no official support for unlocking your bootloader. This results is a very small development community.
[Honor 8X Real Life Review] senseijtitus:
Is there any way left to unlock bootloader in honor 8x x?

Anything that can bypass the factory bootloader lock?
[Honor 8X Real Life Review] XDARoni:
You can use the website funkyhuawei and pay for an unlock code.

not for a late 2018 mid ranger. My 2016 1+3T and my 2017 honor's own 9Lite (with an OmniRom gsi, i.e. no EMUI) beats the 8x on everyday fluidity.

[Honor 8X Real Life Review] Honor_Fan:
can easily switch between applications. but yes, EMUI kills app in background like FB, twitter though not a big deal for me
[Honor 8X Real Life Review] aang741:
there is not solution for that? emui sucks in that way with multitasking always? i cannot decide between honor 8x or Redmi note 6 pro
[Honor 8X Real Life Review] ZohanRash:
I agree that EMUI is a bit weak but you know what really sucks its the REDMI NOTE 6 PRO
[Honor 8X Real Life Review] Honor_Fan:
No. Honor 8X is good choice. Don't mind those social media applications are closing. Not a big deal
[Honor 8X Real Life Review] skoda9635:
Honor 8x is great at holding many apps in background (10 apps and more with 2 games...it may hold more because 2,5 GB were still available) but you have to disable one setting called App launch under the Battery settings.
[Honor 8X Real Life Review] aang741:
what are the reasons to say that?
[Honor 8X Real Life Review] Debanka:
I don't really dislike Redmi note 6 pro but I have handled that device and I feel Honor 8x is better. Purely for software point of view, EMUI felt more natural and matured than MIUI. On 8.2, I haven't came across any issue that I felt like reporting whereas in MIUI there are such issues that you won't even know how to explain it properly and it goes months within any fix.
[Honor 8X Real Life Review] Valerie Green:
Redmi Note 6Pro is not that bad.

If you see Redmi Note 6Pro has Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 Chipset and Honor 8X has HiSilicon Kirin 710 Chipset, where Honor 8X has Mali-G51 MP4 Graphics and Redmi Note 6 Pro has Adreno 509. Rest all are mostly the same or similar.
[Honor 8X Real Life Review] Debanka:
As I have used miui extensively I can tell that EMUI is a more differentiating factor for me.
[Honor 8X Real Life Review] aang741:
Can you sent me a SS about that option? thx

After wake up of device, when I tried start any applications which located on SD card, I get error message.

Henry_Lee,

You better start backing up your sd card. Even if resetting restored the index, you never know , if it happens again you might not be so lucky and end up loosing data.

The HTC Artemis had a similar problem which was corrected by a patch. What i don't know is if that patch could be applied to the Cruise also. Maybe it’s worth some investigation…

Low light photography is not good on Honor 8x.

Even portrait shot it works on 8MP shots only so less clarity.

Front cam portrait and Back cam portrait need to work on edge detection algorithm.

Yea, I noticed that low light isn't very good with the Honor 8X.

Not Sure About the Mi A1 but Mi A2 camera is well more better than Honor 8x.

The best way to get night shots on the Honor 8X is to use night mode and a tripod. Casual shots will not turn out the best.

Anyone with kids have any experience with low light/indoor pics of their kids with the 8X? I've got 3 little menaces at home and most of my snaps are usually of them, inside. I need my phone to be able to handle that...

I've got an Honor 8 at the moment and it does quite well. I'm hoping this phone will be better than that. Anyone had any experience with both??

Cheers!
[Honor 8X Real Life Review] mbwf:
Anyone can own a camera, you simply hand over the cash and you now own it. You see plenty of incompetent photography samples in the myriad "reviews" seen around the internet. A competent photographer can get the best out of even a BASIC, not so amazing camera, as opposed to a completely clueless newcomer, whom you could hand a £10,000 Nikon to, and they'd create the most atrocious images you'd ever seen.

If you're taking "snaps" inside, of your children, it doesn't warrant any discussion really, if you have ANY smartphone and are taking "snaps", NO smartphone camera in existence can even DREAM of matching even the most basic dSLR. I own the Nikon D3400 - an "entry level" dSLR, but even as "entry level", it blows ALL the (many, many) smartphone cameras out of the water, into the stratosphere and up, out into space!

I own the 8X, it's a good camera... for a smartphone... but so what? Next year there'll be yet another "best everrrr" lineup of average to better smartphone cameras... but for now, the 8X is very nice indeed.

Look at sites such as this: https://www.ephotozine.com/article/honor-8x-smartphone-sample-photos---video-32854
[Honor 8X Real Life Review] horsetastic:
This is what I wanted to hear.

I use my D3200 for when I want a decent shot. So if this camera is acceptable then that's all I need. It seems better than the Honor 8 according to gsmarena camera comparison and I get pretty good snaps on that.

How's that huge 6.5" screen though??
[Honor 8X Real Life Review] clarkcool:
Hello Since the new update ia pictures are not vivid I'm very disappointed because I love saturated pictures is there anyway to have vivid pictures again or not?
[Honor 8X Real Life Review] Honor_Fan:
Photo quality is good compared to my previous Honor 5C and Honor 8.
[Honor 8X Real Life Review] Androidzor:
For its price the camera (and software) is good. Overall quality is like between iphone 6s and 7. Definately workable. However in bad conditions like low light or weird lighting it has trouble to shoot sharp pictures or get its focus right. The night time mode is great for very low light though. Sharpness is definately its weakpoint but its very capable of shooting sharp pictures. I tend to use HDR mode mostly for better sharpness.
[Honor 8X Real Life Review] Valerie Green:
Image resolution is relatively high and better than older versions of Honor Phones. You can take out the photos from the printer and you won't really feel see the pixels getting burst or the blurred pic. I would probably give 4.5 out of 5.

Only thing I think could have been better is fast charging support.

i have 5V/2A charger and it is managed to charge up my honor 8x from 12 percent to 50 percent in just 45 minutes, while taking a total of about 2 hours to charge up the device to 100 percent. If you’re familiar with how fast fast charging actually is, then you’d already know that the Honor 8X doesn’t charge quickly.
