DISPLAY Honor 8X
Display Type LCD display
Display Technology LTPS IPS
Screen Size (Display Size) 6.5" Better than 91 % of phones rated.
Screen Resolution (Display Resolution) 2340 x 1080 pixels Better than 85 % of phones rated.
Pixel Density 397 ppi Worse than 58 % of phones rated.
Aspect Ratio 19.5:9
Colour Depth 16.7 million colours Better than 98 % of phones rated.
Display Features FullView Display

The screen size reaches 6.5" inches. With a large display, phone offers a great experience for watching videos, playing games and reading. The best phones today are 6.5'' or more. They have the advantage of a large display area that allows you to see more content than with conventional display sizes. LCD displays are currently taking a back seat. This is mainly due to higher power consumption. In addition, they have the disadvantage of lower colour contrast, which can be reflected e.g. in the resulting photos. On the other hand, phones with LCD displays are in general cheaper than those with OLED technology.

Display Resolution of Honor 8X is 2340 x 1080 pixels. A higher display resolution is a prerequisite for a sharper image. The standard for mid-range phones today is a Full HD resolution of 1920 × 1080 px. Cheaper phones, which usually have a smaller diagonal, have an HD resolution of 1280 × 720 px. Smaller resolutions can only be found in older models. Best phones, on the other hand, have a 4K resolution of 3840 x 2160 px. If you want a perfect picture, focus on pixel density in addition to resolution. This number indicates how sharp the image will be. Best phones today have a display fineness of 450 ppi or higher, but the today´s average is around 350-400 ppi. That should be enough for you to enjoy a fine and sharp image. This model has a pixel density of 397 ppi.

PROCESSOR Honor 8X
Processor Type (CPU) Hisilicon Kirin 710
Clock Speed 2.2 GHz Better than 79 % of phones rated.
Processor Core Qty 8-core Better than 99 % of phones rated.

The processor type of the Honor 8X is Hisilicon Kirin 710. The number of processor cores is 8. It is a number of cores that plays an important role in evaluating the performance of phone as it is responsible for computing operations. Smartphones already commonly have a core count of around 4 to 8. Multi-core processors can perform better and reduce the processing time of a request to a minimum, which is reflected in the responsiveness of the phone, e.g. in the speed of opening applications. Honor 8X is provided with processor´s frequency of 2.2 GHz. Normally today you will find this value between 1.8 and 2.8 GHz, and the higher the number, the faster the response of the phone. The processor frequency will thus be one of the important parameters if you are looking for a phone capable of managing several requests at once without major problems.

MEMORY Honor 8X
RAM 4 GB Better than 78 % of phones rated.
Internal Memory Size (Storage Capacity) 64 GB Better than 75 % of phones rated.
Supported Flash Memory Cards (Expandable Memory) microSDHC, microSDXC - up to 256 GB

The phone is provided with an internal memory of 64 GB. Internal storage capacity is often a key parameter, as it determines how many files, photos, apps and more your phone can store. If you expect to store low thousands of photos, some songs, few movies or games on your phone, then you can easily get by with a medium memory size. Phones with this size of memory also has the advantage of a lower purchase price. If you don't plan to use your phone for 4K video creation and storage, using hundreds of apps etc. then you should feel free to go with this memory size. Fortunately, manufacturers nowadays think of all users and therefore offer phone models with different memory sizes so that everyone can choose what suits them.

In addition, if you need more memory, this model offers the option of inserting a memory card to increase the storage size.

Operating memory significantly affects the performance of the entire phone. Honor 8X has an operating memory of 4 GB. Phones with less than 4 GB of RAM are better suited for undemanding users who use phone more for basic needs and some essential applications only. But if you are a heavy user, reach for at least 6 to 8 GB of RAM, which is the standard today, or 12 GB for the really demanding ones.

Lens Aperture (Front) F/2.0 Better than 89 % of phones rated.
Video Resolutions (Front) 1280 x 720 (720p)

The rear camera of the Honor 8X is equipped with 2 lenses. A larger number of lenses usually results in better quality photo, as each lens is designed differently: usually as a macro lens, telephoto lens or wide-angle lens. Macro lens is used for great close-ups, telephoto lens is designed for capturing objects in the distance as it often has an optical zoom, and wide-angle lens will take great landscape photos where you need a larger field of view. A high resolution lens alone does not necessarily mean high quality photos. The main lens in this has a resolution of 20 Megapixel. However, if you are looking for perfect photos, in addition to resolution, don't forget to focus on at other parameters such as lens aperture or pixel size. Luminance is one of the main factors determining the quality of a photograph. Commonly today, this value ranges between F/1.8 and F/2.2. However, best photomobiles have an aperture of up to F/1.2. Value indicates how much light passes through the sensor and the lower it is, the better the quality of the photos. Main lens here is equipped with F/1.8.

Second camera
The resolution reaches size of 2 Megapixel. Furthermore, aperture of second lens reaches size of F/2.4.

Front camera
The front camera of phone Honor 8X has one lens. This number of lenses is standard on most smartphones nowadays. The resolution of main lens reaches 16 Megapixel. Again, it should be noted that resolution is not the only factor affecting the quality of the front camera photo. The aperture of main lens is F/2.0.

BATTERY AND CHARGING Honor 8X
Battery Capacity (Battery Size) 3750 mAh Better than 80 % of phones rated.
Recharge Time (Charging Time) 150 min
Standby Time 697 hours Better than 92 % of phones rated.
Talk Time 1260 minutes Better than 81 % of phones rated.
Run Time Details Talk: up to 1260 min
Standby: up to 697 hrs

The battery size of Honor 8X is 3750 mAh. Nevertheless, battery capacity is not the only factor that affects the phone's battery life. For example - the size of the display, the performance of the processor, the use of data functions and, of course, the intensity of use of phone in general all have a significant impact on battery life. Standard for most smartphones today is a battery capacity of around 4500 to 5000 mAH. Phones with this battery size usually guarantee a phone life of at least 1 day. Older or cheaper smartphone models can then reach battery capacities typically around 2500 mAH and below. With this capacity, you may find that if you use your phone heavily, you may need to recharge your phone during the day.

Standby time is 697 hours. The value indicates how long your phone will last on a single charge when you are not actively using it. The battery life when making calls is, like standby time, a figure that tells us how long the phone will last on a single charge when making continuous calls. For the Honor 8X it is 1260 minutes.
