Honor X8 5G technical sheet
The Honor X8 5G suits someone looking for a 5G phone with a large display and a battery whose capacity exceeds that of most phones of its time. Its 6.5-inch screen provides room for content, while the 5,000 mAh battery has more capacity than most phones launched around the same time.
The screen-to-body ratio is 89%, higher than that of most phones of its time. The trade-off is the display’s 90 Hz refresh rate and 270 ppi density, both lower than those of most phones launched around the same time. Its TFT LCD panel has a resolution of 720 × 1600 px, so those figures matter to anyone prioritizing smoothness or fine detail.
Performance, camera, connectivity, and the overall result are typical for phones of its time. This version pairs 6 GB of RAM with 128 GB of expandable storage and uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 Plus 5G. The 48 MP camera records video at 1080p at 30 fps. Other features include NFC, dual SIM, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. The battery supports 22.5 W charging and reverse charging.
With a NeoScore of 5.1, the Honor X8 5G is a reasonable fit for someone who values 5G, a high-capacity battery, and a large screen-to-body ratio, and can accept a display with lower refresh rate and pixel density than most phones of its time.
