Say no to excess: why the Honor 8X is the smartphone with the X factor

Some phones are all about excess. Not the Honor 8X. The Honor 8X is exceptional. It’s exceptionally powerful. Exceptionally beautiful. And it delivers exceptional value for money.

The big picture

Big screen needn’t mean big phone. Honor uses advanced chip-on-film (COF) technology and a patented antenna to deliver an exceptional 91% screen-to-body ratio.

It all starts with the screen. It’s perfectly proportioned, a 6.5-inch Full-View 2.0 display with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio for truly cinematic movies and incredibly vivid photos.

That huge screen is in a beautiful body that’s just 5.5 inches long and 7.8mm thick, with a bottom border of just 4.25mm.

The result is something other manufacturers don’t offer: a phone that doesn’t sacrifice display size for comfort and reachability. Thanks to its svelte body and that cinematic aspect ratio, the Honor 8X is the big-screened phone that fits perfectly in your hand.

Style and substance

Every great picture deserves an equally great frame, and the Honor 8X delivers just that. The Honor 8X wraps its tough aluminum frame in a 2.5D double texture aurora glass body which looks even more spectacular in your hand than it does in the photos.

Aurora glass uses 15 layers of tiny, parallel grates to deliver a constantly shifting, fluid colour that reveals a fresh perspective from every angle. You can choose from blue, black or red for the Honor 8X that expresses your own unique style.

You won’t find extra hardware buttons, ostentatious camera bumps or other gimmicks on your Honor 8X. That’s because Honor combines design minimalism with sophisticated craftsmanship and engineering excellence: everything you need is exactly where it should be, without fuss or unnecessary frills.

Honor knows that while technology may be complicated, using it should never be.

Beat the blues

Honor’s tradition of innovation continues in the Honor 8X. Its screen features sunlight and night display technology to deliver extraordinarily clear and readable text in the brightest sunlight and darkest gloom, and its new generation Eye Comfort mode is certified by TüV Rheinland for its blue light reduction, which can prevent eye fatigue and make reading before bedtime more comfortable.

Never miss a moment

The Honor 8X’s gorgeous screen is the perfect frame for its superb camera. The 20MP dual lens rear camera has an incredible f/1.8 aperture for great low-light shooting, and the front camera’s 16MP sensor and f/2.0 aperture is superb for selfies. And the whopping 3,750mAh battery means your Honor 8X will always be ready to take the perfect shot all day and all night.

That’s not all. The powerful octa-core Kirin 710 processor comes with 4GB or 6GB of RAM and a choice of 64GB and 128GB internal storage, and Honor’s amazing GPU Turbo technology delivers incredible graphics performance without draining the battery.

That means flagship smartphone performance and flagship features without the flagship smartphone cost.
