Honor 8X vs Mi A2 vs Nokia 6.1 Plus Realme 2 Pro: Design, Display
The Honor 8X offers premium aesthetics with its glass-clad front and rear that sandwich a metal frame. The display stands 6.5-inches tall. With a notch at the top, this phone’s screen-to-body ratio goes up to 91 percent.
While not as flashy, the Realme 2 Pro also offers a premium glass and metal build. While the screen here also achieves close to 91 percent screen to body ratio, you are likely to find it the most appealing as it has only a tiny dewdrop design notch at the top. This leads to considerably less intrusion in apps, game and while watching videos.
The Nokia 6.1 Plus lends itself to a more ergonomic form-factor with its screen coming in at 5.8-inches and still managing to achieve a 93% screen-to-body ratio. With a 2.5D curved glass back and sturdy metallic frame, this phone is also on par with the above two contenders in this category.
The Xiaomi Mi A2, on the other hand, doesn’t live up to the competition with its metal unibody design. While the screen does measure in at 5.99-inches, there are considerably larger bezels above and below, giving the phone an outdated visage.
