[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
First of all congratulations on becoming the Second Largest Smartphone Manufacturer. Good Job at beating CrApple. Now I have a few questions.

1. Bootloader. This one's been coming for a while. Why exactly did you stop providing Unlock Codes and is there any chance they will be back? Is there any way to unlock via third party? Or is it possible at all cause even if we pay for those codes, development is dead.

2. Software. EMUI is the WORST Custom OEM skin there is. It throttles the phone, FC any app that the user is not using and has a lot of Bloatware (also known as HiCrap). And in every Huawei/Honor phone review I have read online, the phones have been praised for there Great Hardware, Excellent Performance & Cheap Price. But always they mention the same drawback. EMUI. In fact the only reason I installed a Custom ROM is EMUI. So now that you are at number 2,what are you gonna do about that. I suggest a complete overhaul, keeping some of the fan favourite but bringing it closer to Stock Android.

3. Software Updates. It's no secret that Huawei is one of the Slowest company in pushing out Updates. So I want to know that if I buy any Huawei or Honor phone can I expect Monthly Security Patches? I vowed never to buy from Huawei again but alas I am know looking to buy the Honor Play. With no way to unlock bootloader I will be running EMUI so I want to know if I can at least get those Security Patches.

And lastly I have a few Questions about the 8X compared to the Play. In my country (Pakistan) the 8X costs PKR 35000 whereas the Play costs PKR 42000. Not a big difference in price but the Play does have the Kirin 970. So should I get that or 8X. Does 8X has Fast Charging and 4K video?

Another one, with your recent decision to stop Bootloader unlocking and hereby Development, what is your standpoint on the Development Community. About two months ago a software patch Broke Magisk and Hard Bricked rooted devices. What is to say about that.

Now those are my question. Personally if EMUI is tweaked even a little bit to resemble Stock and Give freedom I have no issue buying an Huawei/Honor phone. I say freedom cause on my Honor 6x running EMUI 8 whenever I try to use Nova it either crashed or I get Several Notification a day asking me to switch to stock. Same goes for other apps and The one's I have sideloaded. My only issue with your phones is the Software.

Here's to hoping that Huawei beats Samsung to become #1 and,more importantly, brings back Bootloader Unlocking.

One more question. Is there anyway Huawei/Honor can take the Google Route to Software Updates. Like for example uploading the firmware to internet and then users can manually download it and flash it via the update app. The biggest Concern is of these phones aside from EMUI is slow updates. This would fix that. You could do it like how OnePlus did. I know the problem would be region specific files but can't they be separated from the main OS like how Treble separated Vendor. And to update those region specific thingies we can have Quarterly Updates.

Is the Honor 8X A-Partition or AB-Partition Device?

I am curious to know why honor blocked unlocking bootloader for Honor phones?

Honor 8x

As this honor 8x phone is powered by new kirin710 SOC why it donot have 4K video quality feature and dual speakers.
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Also it's unrelated to the theme of this thread but OP doesn't mention how will the winner be selected or when will the prize be announced. It also doesn't mention wether this is region specific or Global. And most importantly we have no answer about any question so far. From anyone.

Hi will you be releasing gradient colours for this phone perhaps with matching themes? mi 6 had this theme where the background would shift its hues when you move the phone, such themes would match up well with the gradient colours popularized by your company.
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] af97:
is there a special philosophy about the design of the back of the honor 8x?

I watch unboxing video, why SIM ejector designed like that? Unique but easy to losing it I think
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] sasquatt:
Hello, is Huawei interested in perhaps one day bringing the Honor 8X and other products to the Brazilian market? A player of the size and quality of Huawei would be very welcome to the game here because even for the most interested the process of import is often a great complicator here.

Why there are no matt finish displays on smartphones? as my predator's matt finish display just look gorgeous with deep blacks. Question in my mind from very long time. Can honor introduce smartphone with matt finish display? Also keep up your best in class smartphone designs ??.
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] ProGamer02224:
As most users have stated here I haven't used a honor phone ever. I haven't even seen one in real. So as a Gamer, my question is how good is the SOC chipsets and processors on honor 8X compared to the Snapdragon? This SOC holds equal to or is greater than in performance to which snapdragon SOC? What are the greatest feature on honor that could change my mind to get it giving up my regular update?
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
I'm a happy user of the Honor 7X, and I see the 8X as a worthy upgrade. But I have some questions.

Q1- What is the reason behind choosing micro-USB instead of USB-C?! Since the battery is big, it would have helped with the charging time if it had USB-C port.

Q2- Why there's no NFC for almost all the variants?!

Those are my questions so far.

How does Huawei plan to saturate the European market with Honor 8X? :cool:
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] TheBlitzS:
1. How does the camera on the Honor 8X perform in low light situations with f/1.8? Is it possible to get clear images with Super Night Shot?

2. How long will this device be supported in terms of software updates?

[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] hellhr:
Hi.

Honor 8x is probably best buy, but camera in low light is not great, to say at least.. Also, during daylight AI worsens 90% of pictures, I have to turn it off to avoid oversaturated colors. And I mear really oversturated, green looks radioactive for example. During night AI actually helps, but details are bad. Will this flawd AI on camera be fixed soon...? Other than that, phone is really good.

Thx!

What was your reasoning behind that beautiful glass? It is very refreshing seeing a beautiful crafted phone at such a budget.
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] Ban9itS:
Why are you still adding that 2MP depth sensor ? I see no point. Why not add the Wide-Angled or the Telephoto one ?

Software is already doing good enough job of bluring the background (look at google camera app).

And it's not like 2MP sensor is noticably better than software blur, if better at all.

So, yeah the question is:

Why are you still adding that 2MP depth sensor ?

What does the future of smartphones look like and what will Honor do to fit in this future? And how will Honor keep differentiating from Huawei?
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] xzyk:
Ditto..

Just look at the evidence, ie xda thread on the 8x, not much development going on compared to the likes of more open phones like oneplus and xiaomi, why? Well maybe not being able to unlock the BL had something to do with it. I have the 5c, H9L and 8x and can see how honor 's attempt at locking their phones has led to less development on sites like this. What makes it even worse for honor is that they further lock down their phones via EMUI. Yes you can load other home launchers but only after being told this will have an adverse affect, why are honor the only phones that gives this warning? I don't get it? You're either dev friendly or you're not, honor seen to want the best of both worlds and ending up not being particularly good at either. If you sit on the fence all that will happen is your arse will hurt!

Q1- Since the Honor 8X has a TÜV Rheinland Certified Eye Comfort Mode, what makes it unique compared to what other manufacturers offer?!

Q2- What was your inspiration behind the 8X design?!

Q3- will there be more colors coming out in the future?!

Personally, I'd like to see a white Honor 8X with Robin Blue accents. (White back and the Robin Blue in the metal rail, camera rings...etc)

When honor 6X was launched...it has been the smarphone with best camera in that price segment...and in advertisements at that time, you were telling that the sensor use in honor 6X was Sony IMX386. And later on as the new versions 7X and 8X were released, no information about sensors used were described..as new X series were released, the camera quality has increased a lot in each series..can you please tell me which sensor is being used in honor 8X...? Is it sensor developed by huawei..?

Display Inquiries

With almost all the new phones transitioning to AMOLED, or some sort of LED panel, do you feel like customers would benefit from the better display? I know that the Honor phones still have great LCD displays, however, phones would definetely benefit from AMOLEDs. Would the switch be a significant change in the manufacturing process? Thank you!

8x or 10?

I bought my daughter a 7x last Christmas which has now been soaked and cracked, it kinda lights up...? So she is (with a little help) considering replacing it with either the 8x or the 10. I favour the 8x personally but she prefers the size of the 10. Which should she get? Also is it correct that the 9x will feature a corner notch?
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] reggjoo:
Nice to see that xda members get preferred unlock code treatment. I won’t root , til 6 months into the warranty( just to make sure there’s no hardware problems). I really don’t care about winning, but if my post gets read, I would like to know why nfc hasn’t come to this category of phone. That feature is sorely missing in the budget segment, and should be included since the os has software for it. By now, nfc should be cheap enough to include it in this budget category, and the first to see that, will sell a lot of phones.
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] Pak0St:
Just like many others, my main questions and concerns are focused on bootloader unlock for the Honor 8X.

After double-checking the information and specifications of the phone, I answered my own question about NFC.

The UK model does have NFC support. This is relevant to me, as I live in UK.

My assumption is that the NFC is not included in the models intended for India or China.

Would there be more clear specifications or place where the different region models of the Honor 8X can be compared easily?

While Huawei is taking a hard stance against bootloader unlock, what are the plans for the Honor brand in regards to this? Would there be official method to unlock the bootloader of the Honor 8X?

And a bit of a different question. The demonstration of the translation feature by TK Bay on the Honor Magic 2 was really impressive! Would this feature be available on the Honor 8X or does it require the device to be using Kirin 980?
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] Van.Fanel:
As someone who does not like changing phones every year, how "future-proof" is the Honor 8X? Will it get timely Android updates and/or quick kernel source code release for devs?
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] customworx:
Dear Honor Team, is it planned to redesign the software UI to a more flat and unique design as Google and many others do? Don't get me wrong, your Design is cool and looks good but it doesn't fit with the Material Design at all. I'd love to see a redesign on future phones and updates if possible. Thank you ;)

Best regards,

Hi Honor i'm Indonesian..most of the time i've been actively follow Honor progress here, some device i've used 4X, and last the 7X.. 7X was the most longest honor series i've use, about several months performance, camera was really good on budget segment. Well i'm not fan a BIG screen in terms of hold & grab the smartphone on my hand, The questions and might it aounds like request / suggestions perhaps :p, just curious to see another series with 5,2" screen but has bezzel-less display, and offcourse give it more power..

Last will you providing back the Unlocking bootloader again in the futures???
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
I'm amazed with the Honor 8X design, especially from the front, so my questions are.

Q1- How could bring the height of the bottom bezel down to 4.25mm?! I'm amazed since many flagship devices with OLED displays couldn't come close to the Honor 8X's chin.

Q2- How could you fit that 3750 mAh battery in such dimensions?! (With the headphone Jack included). Was there a special method to do so?!

Q3- The inclusion of the Kirin 710 which has the on-board AI is superb, will the 8X get additional AI features in the future?!

Why you guys are sponsering xda developer? After ditching xda by not providing unlock bootloader! Because of this reason, you guys have stopped the progress of project treble?

After 2 years u won't provide any support to honor phone.. Why customer should buy honor 8x since it has USB charge rather then c port and more over, no support after release of 9x. Xda could be best place if you guys supported custom recovery.. People can have latest security patch?

LTE

Hello, my girlfriend dream about Honor 8x 6/128 RED edition. It's not avalible in Europe (Poland) so i bought it for her in China. In Europe LTE frequences are: B1(2100) and B3(1800+), B20(800DD).

My question is:

1. If i root my new Honor 8x from China and install Europe software do i have the B1, B3, B20 frequences?

2. The second question is: if the China Honor has 6gb RAM and i install Europe software do i have only 4gb RAM?

Reply from HONOR

Our activity will run from Nov.11 to 21 globally. So please feel free to ask any questions you want to know! Now our product managers are working on these questions but it takes some time. Please wait patiently and we will reply to our users ASAP!:D
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Ok. So I have another question. One that I particularly want to know about. A user here said that Huawei/Honor has stopped providing bootloader unlock codes while on the same time they are trying to maintain a healthy relationship with the Development Community. But without unlocked bootloader that's difficult. Assuming that Bootloader unlocking doesn't come back and people have to rely on third party software how will you maintain this relationship. One other thing is that Huawei is reluctant to release source codes, which in turn makes development a bit difficult. So do you plan to change that. An example of this would be that every device in the world has a Google Camera port except Kirin Devices. I talked with a developer and ha said because of the unavailability of the proper source code it's impossible to port and require a lot of work. So do you plan on releasing the codes?

And lastly assuming Huawei doesn't allow bootloader unlocking, how will Honor adjust to that. Will you provide bootloader unlocking for Honor phones or Huawei/Honor development is now dead?

These are the only question I have. The Honor 8X is a great Phone but at 35000 is a bit expensive considering I can get the Play for 42000. A miscellaneous question is that the Magic 2 has a MagicUI. Will all Honor Phones eventually get it or only the Magic lineup.

And if you don't mind us asking, can we please know why you decided to stop Bootloader unlocking. As far as I know Huawei/Honor was one of those companies that actively supported the modding community. In fact you gave out free Honor v10 to developers. So why the backtrack.

Thanks. And I will say it again. Huawei/Honor is the best company. Your phones offer the beat Bang for the Buck but the software is terrible and needs improvement. And since the software is pretty much the soul of the phone a bad software can deter away possible customer. I don't mind a locked bootloader if the software is good. EMUI is bad. It needs a lot of work, maybe even a complete overhaul. Make it like Stock Android.

Edit. So recently after you guys closed bootloader unlocking a number of third party software are available that claim to provide working unlock codes. How do they do that?

I am an Honor 7X user(Predecessor of 8X), am very much satisfied with my device except for a few things and have a few questions about this new device:

As we all know Huawei & Honor has stopped providing Bootloader unlocking codes prior to the release of Honor 8X making it not possible try the treble based GSI's without paying extra and also considering the fact that HONOR 8X supports project Treble which I believe makes updates easier even for the OEMS how many ANDROID UPGRADES will Honor 8X going to get ?. This is one of the issue that really worries me talking my present honor 7x situation into consideration.

Why is the price so high compared to previous X series phones ? (Honor 7x - 13,999 - 4K hike)

Why should one buy Honor 8x when they can get Honor Play ( another great device with a flagship processor - Kirin 970) just for a few extra bucks ?(HONOR 8x - 17,999 & Honor Play - 21,999 )
