Editorial report

Hotwav Cyber 8 technical sheet

The Hotwav Cyber 8 suits buyers looking for a rugged phone with a large battery, provided its weight and below-average performance are acceptable trade-offs. Its 8280 mAh battery capacity is among the highest of phones launched around the same time, while 18 W charging is typical. It resists water and dust (IP68 and IP69), as well as shocks and drops (MIL-STD-810G).

The 6.3-inch display has a pixel density of 409 ppi, higher than that of most phones of its time. Its 450-nit brightness is lower than most, however, and the 70% screen-to-body ratio is among the weakest. The body is 17 mm thick and weighs 330 g. This version has 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage, both lower than most phones launched around the same time. Its AnTuTu result is also among the weakest. The 16 MP camera resolution is lower than most, and the phone has no optical image stabilization.

Connectivity is typical overall, with NFC, Bluetooth 5.2 and dual SIM. The overall NeoScore is 4.5. The Cyber 8 makes most sense for buyers who put battery capacity and rugged protection ahead of lighter handling and stronger performance.
