Editorial report

Honor X8a 5G technical sheet

The Honor X8a 5G suits people looking for a 5G phone who prioritize a high-resolution camera. Its 100 MP resolution is higher than that of most phones launched around the same time. The trade-offs are specific: the display has 270 ppi and a 90 Hz refresh rate, while its 128 GB of storage is less than most phones of its time offer. The camera also has no optical image stabilization.

This version pairs 6 GB of RAM with 128 GB of expandable storage. The IPS LCD display measures 6.5 inches and has a resolution of 720 × 1600 px. Connectivity includes 5G, NFC, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, and USB Type-C, along with support for two Nano-SIM cards. It runs Android 12, but has no Google Services. The battery has a capacity of 5,000 mAh and supports 22.5 W fast charging. There is also an 8 MP front camera and a 2 MP macro camera.

Overall, the Honor X8a 5G is typical among phones launched around the same time. Its camera resolution stands out, while display density, storage capacity, and the lack of optical stabilization are clear limitations. Its NeoScore is 5.0. It is best suited to people who prioritize 5G and camera resolution over a sharper display or optical image stabilization.
