Honor’s new kid, the Honor X8, is positioned as an accessible smartphone with solid features. Carried by a sleek design with a premium look and a photo module with four sensors, it relies on major assets. Overview of this device currently sold for only 239 euros.
Honor is back in France with no less than three smartphones. The most accessible of these three new devices is the Honor X8, available since May 3. A device offered at less than 250 euros which wants to shake up the competition thanks to particularly muscular services for a smartphone in this segment. Solid technical sheet, sober and elegant design, and complete photo block, the Honor X8 has everything to please. And to top it off, it can fully rely on Google services and apps from the Play Store.
For its launch, the Honor X8 benefits from a great immediate price reduction at the main e-tailers. The opportunity to save 20 euros and lower the bill for this phone to 239 euros.
Where to find the Honor X8 at the best price?
A premium design that focuses on finesse
The first thing that strikes when looking at the Honor X8 is its design. Extremely thin, with barely 7.45 mm thick for 177 grams on the scale, it offers straight and clear lines, of great sobriety, which would not clash with a more upscale model. Its shell is made of plastic, with a touch very close to that of glass, and its metal edges. It is a solid device, made to last.
The Honor X8 stands out in particular with a very compact square photo block, which protrudes only very slightly from the back of the device. On the front is a screen with rounded edges that takes up most of the front thanks to very thin borders. The bottom edge also hides a jack for connecting wired headphones. The fingerprint sensor is present on the power button of the phone.
A pretty silhouette that comes in three colors: Midnight Black, Titanium Silver and Ocean Blue.
Snapdragon 680 and fast charging: a technical sheet that ensures
To equip its Honor X8 and ensure solid performance in all circumstances, Honor has bet on a safe bet: the Snapdragon 680 chip. Supplemented by 6 GB of RAM and a generous storage space of 128 GB, this SoC works wonders in everyday use, including for video games, provided you do not launch greedy 3D games.
On the screen side, Honor has opted for a large 6.7-inch LCD panel with a definition of 2388 by 1080 pixels (Full HD +) and a refresh rate of 90 Hz. Display performance that is still relatively rare in this smartphone price range. Not only is the fluidity there, but the definition is also excellent.
To ensure the autonomy of its device, the Honor X8 has a 4000 mAh battery compatible with the Honor 22.5 W SuperCharge (the charger is included in the phone box). Enough to allow it to last over time and to accompany you without worry throughout your day.
A photo block boosted by a 64 megapixel sensor
Among the strengths of this new Honor X8 is undeniably its photo block. Composed of a quadruple sensor, it stands out with a main lens that peaks at 64 megapixels and opens at f / 1.8. A secondary 5 megapixel lens opening at f / 2.2, a depth sensor opening at f / 2.4 and a macro sensor opening at f / 2.4 complete the set.
This wide range of sensors allows it to benefit from many shooting modes: night photo, portrait mode (with embellishment), panoramic, timelapse, super-macro and other whatnot are on the agenda. The Honor X8 also handles video and can capture 1080p movies without flinching.
