SeekerHonor 8X
Though it costs £229.99 in the UK, the Honor 8X looks, feels and performs like a high-end smartphone in most respects. It features a gorgeous 6.5in FHD+ bezel-less display and an eye-catching glass and aluminium design that makes it stand out amongst the competition. It also offers high-end features like facial recognition, alongside the rear-facing fingerprint scanner, and although performance can be a little spotty in the most demanding 3D games, we’ve experienced very little in the way of lag in general use. We think it’s impressive, especially with such a competitive price tag.

Hemos quedado impresionados con el Honor 8X. Su aspecto y su rendimiento parecen más propios de un smartphone de gama alta como así lo demuestra su hermosa pantalla prácticamente sin biseles y sus impresionantes cámaras.
Además, incluye tanto tecnología de reconocimiento facial como un escáner de huella dactilar incorporado que funciona sorprendentemente bien. Aunque no incorpora hardware de última generación, el rendimiento es más que decente. Y todo ello por un precio muy asequible.

The Honor 8X is a great-value phone that packs in great performance, a fantastic display and seriously impressive stamina for the money. It compares very favourably with the Moto G6 Plus that costs around the same, but in my opinion has a more attractive design. The camera can be a bit of a mixed bag, but if used with some consideration can achieve some good shots. Just don't necessarily buy into all of the AI hype. The Honor 8X is great value for money with seriously impressive battery life.

In times of constantly improving quality of mid-range smartphones, not every Honor model automatically offers great value for money. If the street price drops a little, the Honor 8X could still be very attractive for lovers of phablets.

Nous sommes très impressionnées par le Honor 8X ; il ressemble à un smartphone haut de gamme avec son superbe écran presque sans encoche et ses capteurs photos ingénieux.
Le Honor 8X embarque à la fois la technologie de reconnaissance faciale et un scanner d’empreintes digitales, tous deux fonctionnent étonnamment bien.
Le Honor 8X est un bon investissement au très bon rapport qualité/prix. Que demander de plus ?
