Honor 8X Pros & Cons

Pros

The Honor 8X offers a large and vibrant display. Its performance is also great considering its low price. The battery easily offers a full day's worth of use. Furthermore, you get a triple card slot capable of holding two SIM cards and a microSD card simultaneously. All this is to be had in a premium-looking package.

Cons

Both the front and rear cameras tend to struggle in low-light while producing oversaturated an artificial looking images in ideal lighting. Charging is still handled over a micro USB port. Honor's RAM management system tends to close background apps a bit aggressively.

Verdict

The Honor 8X is an excellent offering from the Huawei sub-brand as it offers a well-rounded package at an affordable price. It has decent aesthetics and a solid performance to match. The UI might be on the heavy side, but it still comes with tonnes of customization options. You get dual SIM card support alongside a dedicated slot of a microSD card slot. The battery is large enough to last an entire day. However, the cameras should have been better, and it's about time for Honor to be moving over to USB Type-C charging ports.
