Honor 5X:

So, it all started with Honor 5X. My first Honor phone. I was happy with the performance, camera, battery, ultra-fast fingerprint scanner and other cool inbuilt features, coming from Yu Yureka(whole world of custom ROMs, customizations, MODs, tweaks) . Had a tough time in deciding between Redmi note 4 and Honor 5X. other phones were either out of budget or I simply did not like them. After so many days of dilemma, decided on Honor 5X and for sure it was a good decision indeed. Loved the stock EMUI, camera, battery, performance and cool features for good 4-5 months then decided to root and back to XDA and since then its just a great journey. Rooting, Modding, customization, custom ROMs, flash, deflash, stock-custom, stock-custom and story continues. Had tried almost all the custom ROMs on 5X, upgrade-downgrade, brick-unbrick and bunch of things which I never imagined I would do on my phone (use only one phone and it was primary that time so risking was a big concern) but with help of great people, developers, contributors on XDA, learnt hell lot of things for Honor phones.

Was learning a new thing every day and with some contribution, started getting the rewards here on XDA (contests) and official Honor community. Won Honor 4X and Honor 5C, got more involved, more learning, more contribution and more rewards. Won a trip to China for Honor 3rd Carnival and Honor Magic launch in December 2016. End of Honor 5X for me to join another Honor phone ?.

2 and half years has gone by but phone still does well (given to family member).

Chosen because of- A good battery backup, nice look/feel and eye catching design (used gold color) and heard so many things about Honor camera.

Honor 6X:

Got another Honor phone, this time Honor 6X. Time for dual camera phone. Got the phone before global launch, enjoyed every bit of it on Marshmallow and then got the Nougat, Updated, enjoyed. With Nougat, it was something else. Bunch of new options, features, improved notification panel, more options in tiles, app drawer and many things which was new to EMUI. This time with Kirin processor. Though the possibilities of customization, custom ROMs, modding was less with Kirin, our devs did it and we got few handful of custom ROMs and the learning continued, and I didn’t hide them and just kept on sharing on XDA with bunch of guides and tips and tricks on XDA for Honor 6X, even learnt theming and created few themes. Converted my China variant to Indian variant, then to EU variant, back to Indian variant, BLL, BLN and just kept on playing and changing the regions on my phone and helped others doing the same for whatever purpose they had. Rooting, modding, debranding, rebranding, brick-unbrick and slowly and steadily learnt everything about Kirin, EMUI and many things for Honor and Huawei devices, written many guides and helped fellow members with their queries. Loved every bit of Honor 6X, a sturdy and solid phone with equally good performance, a solid battery back, pretty good camera, ultra fast fingerprint scanner and list goes on. Updated to Oreo recently (without official update ? )

Chosen because of – dual camera, a good battery backup, nice look and feel, a solid and consistent performance. Camera still does well with similar battery performance.

Honor 7X:

didnt get chance to own the Honor's Global Bestseller phone.

Honor 4X:

used it for a while and still have with me as a backup phone.

My Other Honor phones includes Honor 5C, Honor 8, Honor v10, Honor 8 SMART.

Expectation from 8X-

Dual 4G/VOLTE support (like Honor v10)

Customization (hope Honor allowing more customization with custom ROM and allow users to unlock bootloader)

EIS

Fast charging (Huawei Supercharging)

Advanced AI than Honor 10 and V10 (by identifying more scenes and learning more and more with user's behavior without compromising on battery)

Allow users to take zoomed image in highest resolution mode (my V10 doesnt allow zoom in 20 MP mode)

Dedicated SD card slot (allow users a freedom to have 2 sim and SD card together)

Latest Android and security updates (Honor 5X got only 1 major update, from Lollipop to Marshmallow, Honor 6X got 2 in few regions but others are still waiting)

Uniform/Global ROM across regions and let users select as per requirement (less work for Honor R&D to test more and various OS versions for regions)

A loud speaker (this is missing in many Honor Phones, speakers are not loud enough for stereo experience)

Aggressive pricing to increase the competition and to reach out to more and more users

Dual Wi-Fi band support

Underneath glass fingerprint (handy for unlock without lifting the device) or fingerprint on back (handy for selfies)
