Hi, Zen!

Honor last year finally separated from Huawei to avoid sanctions - they do not give a Chinese company to cooperate with Google, which deprives smartphones of important services. Since then, Huawei is inclined towards Harmonyos, while new Honor devices continue to work on Google-services.

Most recently, a Honor X8 smartphone has appeared on sale on the Russian mobile market - a novelty, concentrating on two features of the hull, namely its width of 7.45 mm and weight of 177 grams. Nothing was particularly heard about the device itself - they presented it quietly, without too much noise.

Something in the Honor X8 immediately guessed - the sharp faces of the plastic case hint at the love of designers to Apple devices. In fairness, we have seen this in Xiaomi smartphones, and in OPPO smartphones, therefore it is not worth wondering - as in any way, a new trend. Without faithful solutions, the scanner was placed in the lock button (which I consider a huge advantage), an SIM tray was carried out on the left end (only 2 SIM, without microSD support), and there is a headphone connector from below. Stereo speakers did not deliver.

Screen in terms of size, as inexpensive devices, huge: 6.7 inches when resolving an IPS matrix in 2400 to 1080 points. Notice a good brightness stock (about 500 NIT) and work with an increased up to 90 Hz update frequency. The manufacturer managed to combine the thin frames and a relatively small cutout under the front camera - that on the rendering, that in the living photo the front surface of the smartphone looks worthy.

The platform and a set of cameras hint at rivalry on the mobile market with Redmi Note 11: As a processor in Honor X8, one of the new Qualcomm chips is used - 6-nanometer Snapdragon 680. As practice has shown, now it is meaningless "to spit" from the sixth line of dragons. The level capable of normally cope with everyday tasks even despite the old Cortex-A73 / A53 kernels (two clusters, 4 cores, up to 2.4 GHz). Plus, the UFS 2.2 flash drive is working in the smartphone and LPDDR4X RAM, so there is definitely not necessary to speak about slow work.

The second main indicator of the smartphone is his cameras - again leaves a dual feeling: if people have been accustomed to the main sensor with a large resolution, they have to put up with macro modules and a depth of 2 megapixel (including me). Many simply because that they are useless - the owners of smartphones most of them simply forget about them. But marketing is marketing - high sales indicators, apparently, still contributes to the number of cameras, and not the presence of stabilization or zoom. In addition to the 64 megapixel main module and a 5 megapixel sensor with a wide-angle lens, there is nothing useful in the main chamber block. The self-camera received a resolution of 16 megapixel.

Questions to the smartphone will be in terms of autonomy: in the Honor X8 there is a battery, the volume of which is only 4000 m / h. Large screen, and even with high deprait - a serious test even for more volumetric batteries, and this is not to mention the heating of the processor and the entire case. Keep the cams for the energy efficiency of the processor, although, honestly, in more than the day of active use of the smartphone on one charge can not believe.

There is a relatively fast charge of 22.5 W - the battery charge process takes about one and a half hours. Important for the Russian user function - NFC, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, USB OTG, LTE - in the smartphone are available.

The cost of Honor X8 on the Russian market - 24990 rubles for the variation of memory 6/128 GB. Not to say that this is the perfect smartphone that has been fully standing, especially since the improved Redmi Note 11 improved among its competitors, which stores offer approximately for the same money. And yet, now both smartphones greatly describe a difficult situation with the price for the technique - for 25 thousand, another year and a half ago, it was possible to purchase a much better device. But as a gift to the Honor X8, Honor Earbuds 2 Lite headphones are now offered - a good stimulus to buy a device.
