[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] DoobyDroid:
My Q as many have already asked and I will add my 50p worth anyway, Bootloader unlock code will we see this avaliable again for xda users considering this is a development site that honor is partnered with shame to see development for these devises becoming non existent, seeing as updates are far and far between no firmware is made widely avaliable, take a leaf out of oneplus book they don't hold back on anything and have a great development as they listen to there customers and don't restrict them in development terms, happy customers = $$$$ think about it!
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] cerber@:
The Honor 8X is a great looking phone, no doubt.

But there are few questions:

Why do very few sub-5 inch screen phones exist?

While the edge-to-edge screen is an eye-candy, is it good for the grip?

The glass back. Looks good but easily scratched, slippery and fingerprint magnet. Why it's good for us, customers?

Why are there no groundbreaking innovations in today's phones?

How do you decide about the Honor 8X's end of support? (I mean what makes you abandon a phone completely?)

Thank you!

Honor 8x

i have bought honor 8x 4 days ago, it's an amazing handset with a competative price and i recommend it to anyone

i have a question regarding the glass body of the phone and the extent of sensitivity for crashes
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] edenvsp:
What do you think makes the Honor unique and different between all the competition?
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] JD. A:
Why only unlock the boot loader for xda users? I mean don't get me wrong but everyone should be able to unlock it if they feel like it. Also your phone looks great, have mostly great cameras and so on. If you support the development community I guarantee you'll earn some big cash on it.

The development community might seem small but if one tech savvy person recommends a phone it will spread like crazy since his or her friends will recommend it to their friends. That's how it works with my family and friends at least.

The Honor brand has impressively grown and have really come a long way since operating independently from Huawei but looking more into the 8X's software, it still is using Huawei's EMUI. So my question is, will it eventually get a different UI (and hopefully future Honor devices too!) to make it more distinct and independent from Huwawei in the software department?
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] Athomik:
Well i used for a long time Honor 6X and was an amazing phone for photos , but what i wonder is Will you keep this time system updated? Or Will we stick in the same OS Forever... Not having band 20 is a big con , and i hope at least this partnership with Xda is kept to not loose even more trust from us

Hello! Gonna be in future a update that will make 8x charging faster? Charging by 5v/2A doesn't look soo fast as other phones! I am owner of a P9 a phone that really I like! P9 doing its job good. Even has a strong enough kirin 955 a no update to oreo make me think,,, that I really don't need a upgrade to oreo! It is just a phone,,,

How you give this honor 8x as cheaper than nova 3i? What is the reason to give honor as cheaper than Hauwei?

Is there any quality cut becuase the honor 8x is more extra features than nova 3i. More worthy money value phone in the world. I recently bought the honor 8x.
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] yagyaxt1068:
Is the Honor brand going to enter Canada? I'm asking because as much as I'd like to get the Huawei P20 (and the fact that I can afford it), it would be nice to have a Huawei phone I can unlock the bootloader of. I don't need the Kirin 970, and I honestly see no purpose of I can't unlock the bootloader. Plus, it's hard to find a good budget phone in Canada. The Honor 8X would really shake things up.
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] gmx.tel:
Just bought 8x for my mom, a great device!

My question - The phone is very enjoyable in almost every aspect, just one thing that bothers - what about EIS for videos, are there plans to implement that feature?

---

Ahh, another question, or rather a feature request: as we're entering the world of AI-powered features, it would be great if Honor's default dialer had a function similar to a local voicemail, or even something like Google Pixel's call screening )
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] xdarkstar:
In current market scenario, Where flagship specs/features are trickling down slowly to the midrange devices like snapdragon 660 with 821 like performance , imx 400 series sensors , etc., how do you differentiate honor 8x from rest of the pack? How do you convince the end users?
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] Vordx:
What's their plans for depth sensors? Do they think depth sensor is better than telephoto camera? Why they chose it over telephoto camera.

And if I may ask about something else , what are their plans for Honor brand?
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] foxa88:
any plans for Honor to enter the mid African markets ?

sudan exactly ...

in more supportive way

we have Huawei over here but no Honor and no ads ...

theres alot of cheap poorly made chinese brands in the range of this gorgeous phone i think it will bee agood plans for the consumer and the company
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] abhy27:
simple question, how can the Honor 8x match the honor 10 series camera?
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] bekirbirim:
Greetings from Turkey. Considering we are in the last period of 2018; The Honor 8X has no 4K video recording option and no telephoto lens setup for optical zoom. In addition, a high capacity battery is added, but does not have the ability to charge quickly when it is removed from the box. And does not have USB Type-C input from today's standards. What can you say about it? Thank you.
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] titanick:
8X looks like a great phone (just like 7X did), but the biggest drawback for me is the lack of USB-C port. Why did Honor decide to put a micro usb port instead of USB-C when it's quite clear that USB-C is the future?
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] Mohitshah2222:
The company is just awesome everything all right with only the problem i face is sound issues
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] ErebusRaze:
Honor announced a partnership with Netflix allowing for the pre-installed app to stream 1080p on the 8x and grants one month streaming free. Does this partnership mean Honor is looking to break into the US market relatively soon? And for those of us interested, why not up the offering to 3 months since Netflix's standard trial is already one month?

Also the 8x offers a more than competitive price point with flagship aesthetics. How's was Honor able to implement such premium design in a sub $300 device without sacrificing too many flagship caliber features?
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] Ranjithyaksha:
Tell me one reason tat I shouldn't buy any other device instead of honor 8X........ And Y is it different from other....?
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] Niteeshmamidala:
Why don't the device is void after boot loader unlock. While LG gives warranty.

[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] vence.andersen:
There are several mobiles out there in the 15k segment. What made you think that the Honor 8x will stand out in the competition and as people's choice with it's GPU not comparable with other phones in the same price range.?
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] KnightPiyush14:
First of all, I loved Honor 8x and bought one. It also gave me best experience a phone can give, the camera the display everything.

I just want to know one thing, as Honor disowned unlocking bootloader, will they give timely updates for the phone, can you make sure that user is getting fully satisfied, just according to one news Redmi will be enabling support for camera2api which will allow their phone to install gcam. So can you please do this because I know gcam is the best.... It's portrait shots are awesome... Please reply... Will there be updates for my Honor 8x?

Thanks for this great phone
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] ravisuricata:
Thank you for taking this question!

Would you please talk a bit about the decision process used to select the specific LTE bands to be active on a given handset?

I understand that there is a geographic and carrier component to the process.

But from a lay perspective, the easy approach would be for all bands to be active on all handsets.

Is here some sort of cost function or function that comes into play? That involves factors such as licensing, design, engineering development, etc.?

My hunch is that there is a real financial cost to ensuring that a handset works correctly on a given band. So to activate an additional band is more than just flipping a bit. The QA component to design and engineering would preclude wasting resources to certify a band that isn't in a target market.

But is that truly the explanation? Like many others, I so want your devices to work in any location and on any carrier that I might choose.

Any light that you might shed on this issue would be appreciated!

I loved using your products when I lived in China. Missing that one crucial band (and that's what it usually is these days - just one) is a real bummer. :)

Can I take you on a date? Ok, but seriously can you provide more unlock codes for the view 10? That's the only thing keeping me from buying it right now.
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] SVSurve:
I really love honor devices but problem is that honor devices don't have much custom rom development and procedure of unlocking bootloader is also officially closed by Huawei. That's the only reason stopping me to buy Huawei phones. Are there any chances that Huawei will support custom development (like Xiaomi)?
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] rohitagstam:
Its now 1 month i have honor 8x but still no update and there are many bugs like front camera focus in video mode, very saturated colors in back camera, notification bar bug, no guesture support and many more. So how much honor 8x is supported by developers i have a dou t on it because if u are giving updates to your newly launched phone then why you will give updates to older. My question is tell us the update schedule of honor 8x, its mothly security updates or quarterly? If bootloader is locked then its ur duty to give regular updates
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] XDA XILFY:
For how long was the 8X in development and were there any major drawbacks/preventions of earlier release? Also, were there any big last minute design changes in the device? The Honor website and other sources say that the camera's AI detects objects of 22 categories and 500 scenarios, what sort of objects and scenarios do these consist of? And one last, more personal question - is there anything that you particularly liked about the camera and its features, and do you think that these things stand out above other devices on the market?

Android One

I was wondering if Honor ever considered producing an Android One phone? Personally I believe the price & specs for the phones that's been produced is excellent. But I also believe creating an Android One model will create more brand recognition which in turn will generate more profit. Do you believe that's a possible option in the near future?
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] mahdi1375:
Good phone for the price. Very nice display. Battery can last long enough for web browsing, media social and Youtube . While playing game, the battery drain quite faster. Good Camera for a mid range phone . Just disappointed because still using micro USB and no fast charging. Can you explain why you didn't use USB Type C & Fast charging ?

Another big problem is that honor devices don't have much custom rom development . I hate the restrictive nature of EMUI

love the design and value. overall score 8 out of 10
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] laofan:
How will the Honor 8x be released in U.S.? Any chance we could get in via Carrier like TMobile or AT&T? If so, please leave the booloader unlocked for Carrier variant.

Can this mobile will support fast charging with software update
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] zoroarctic:
I have used the Honor 8 and 7X before and find EMUI to be one of the fastest versions of Android, even though it has so many addons.

I currently use a Galaxy S8 since the battery of my Honor 8 gave way, and it seems much slower in terms of day to day tasks, although the hardware is better.

What kind of optimizations does EMUI have that helps these phones run so quick? Is it because Kirin is your in-house SOC? But then again Exynos is Samsung's in-house SOC but the performance isn't that great on Touchwiz.

Also, can you please elaborate on how the AI memory management works in EMUI, considering that the 8X has an NPU. I've seen the term several times in my time with the Honor 8 and 7X but never really understood how that works.

Thank you.

What is you intention towards Honor 8x

What do you really want to give it to people with the Honor 8x

Their is a really good improvement in overall X lineup like the quality did you get in 6x was improved in greater extent in 7x as well as 8x :good::o
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] tim.malone:
One of the standout software features in EMUI is the battery saving options. What is the process you go through to decide which power saving features will be included and which will be left out? I like the ability to restrict background processing and automatic startup on an app by app basis. Has there been any discussion of adding additional restrictions that users can apply to apps? Such as the ability to use wakelocks or set alarms?
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] Amish007:
My question is:

Does honor or Huawei thinks to allow other manufacturers to use its products like EMUI or Kirin chips anytime soon?
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] sarnz:
As honor phones along with huawei have started focusing on software side a lot more, is it likely that the newer software will compete with pixel phones in smoothness? I know smoothness is a abstract concept but everyone who has used apixel knows what im talking about and well is huawei and honor focusing on the concept of smoothness?
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] mujju85:
I have recently purchased honor 10 and I am very satisfied with it but after one week honor launched honor 8x with great spec and almost same features like honor 10 in a very low price as compared with honor 10 so I want to know right now honor is promoting honor 8x more than honor 10 so in future will honor 10 get latest security updates and andriod Q or we have to go for honor 8x?
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] vhinjavier05:
as we all know, huawei already develops their own SOC, the Hisilicon SOC's. as for the time being or within the span of 5-10 years, will huawei also tries to make their own Operating system to compete with android? do you have future plans for the said subject. because user is looking for alternative every now and then.
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] himanshugupta0033:
Honor 8X is indeed a great smartphone but being a geek is further customisation possible on Honor devices like unlocking bootloader and flashing new roms or can you provide new tweaks like camera to API so that one can run gcam.
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] davidwang_99:
I know for the bottom you used a similar technique to Apple in that the display controller is folded under the screen. I would like to know, how much more expensive is this method compared to regular methods, and is there any chance we can see the same technique used on future Honor products. It would be amazing to have a Honor device that is truly bezel-less. I am using an Honor 5X and Huawei P10 right now, both of which have quite chunky bezels.

Also, what are the chances we can see a future Honor 9X? device with NFC? I would not mind paying a little extra for such a useful feature.

Dual band ,size, os updates , game boaster, widevine support

Regarding Honox 8X , why does honor encourage regular OS updates . The cost cutting could have been done in Bigger displays where a 6-inch display is more comfortable for every regular users and with that some features including dual band wifi could have been added where we live in wifi world with higher bandwidths and connection speed . A game boaster could have been specifically included in order for optimizing in priority of user friendly IT ( i.e DND , Show or hide messages , Network switches , Brightness level , Improve connectivity , background restriction ) . There is also a missing of Widevine L1 where 6.5 inch cant play a 1080p videos on netflix and amazon . Thank You .
