HUAWEI Honor 8X (64GB + 4GB RAM) 6.5 HD 4G LTE GSM Factory Unlocked Smartphone - International Version No Warranty JSN-L23 (Blue)

I love this phone. It has everything I want in a phone for a fantastic price. The face recognition and fingerprint reader are super fast. It knows my face with or without glasses and even in dim light. The phone itself operates very quickly and everything moves smoothly. No sticking, not even the slightest hesitation. I had to do some research to get the Google Assistant voice match to work. But Ive had the phone for a week now and I love it. Pics are amazing!

I had never use Huawei before until Trump make all those false statement about them without any proof! Best phone ever, very good battery life, crystal clear pictures, great phone specifications for the money. It is so good I got my mom one.

Warning! This phone doesnt work with t-mobile 4g although it says it compatible with t-mbile, make phone call is ok, 4g doesnt work. false advertisement

I purchased this phone as the last in a long line of honor phones. From the 4x to here, and I think this one has surpassed the prior ones in most every manner, it feels glamorous and is responsive even after months of use. However, a case is a necessity. Even with a case, I shattered the glass back of the screen after maybe a month.

One month review. I am on Metro by T-Mobile network in an urban area. Previously owned a ZTE Zmax Pro, to give context for my level of performance expectation. Overall, I love the Honor 8x for my needs. I purchased through MVD Mobile since their reviews seemed positive and in order to make sure I got the US model. Here are my pros and cons with some tips at the end: Pros 1. Price – Best cost-to-feature ratio of the unlocked phones on Amazon. No regrets there. 2. Battery Life – incredible! I get to the end of the day with over 50% of my battery, and often much more than that. I use my phone for work conference calls throughout the day, and now I never fear that I my phone will die. 3. Hardware – Form factor is perfect for someone with larger hands. Build quality is solid and feels like any premium flagship phone. Love the aesthetic too. Comes with a nice clear case. 4. Screen – Excellent resolution and color options. Comes with a screen protector installed. The notch is small enough to leave room for notification icons. 5. Software – It took a couple weeks to get used to EMUI, but I’m liking it. The settings menu is quite extensive with customization options, which to me is a plus. Out of the box I had EMUI 8, but I received the system upgrade to EMUI 9 (Android Pie) within a couple weeks. Things I love: quick setting for volume silence mode, look/feel of multitasking, YouTube picture-in-picture function, and split screen app capability. And you can get third party launchers and keyboards like with any Android phone. 6. Performance - I have had very few stutters when scrolling. Very responsive phone. Cons 1. Video motion blur – I haven’t seen others complain about this, but I have noticed it across any app that plays video. While the HD 1080p resolution is just fine, whenever there is motion onscreen it is slightly blurred, like the refresh rate is not keeping up. It’s not a deal-breaker and I’ve gotten used to it, but since I watch a lot of videos on my phone it is annoying. 2. LTE Network – While I do have LTE coverage on Metro LTE bands 2 & 4, I would say the coverage is weaker than my ZTE phone which had bands 2, 4, and 12. I notice this most often when I’m inside large buildings. 3. Camera – I heard great reviews so my expectations were a little higher. Its just okay. I have had just average results both indoors and outdoors. Shutter button response is not super fast, especially in AI mode. But I don’t use the camera much anyway. Video recording is adequate if using a tripod. Tips, Tricks, Things I’ve Learned 1. EMUI Themes – I played around with the themes and wanted to share one caution. If you find custom themes online or in the Play store, be careful about adjusting your system font. If you edit your font, it will change EVERY instance of text on your phone, and there is no easy way to revert back to the default font. You have to side-load an APK file in order to reveal the font settings option on your phone. Google “EMUI font enabler APK” for more info on that. 2. RAM management & Battery Optimization – While 4gb of RAM is enough to keep apps active in the background, the phone will still close apps in order to aggressively save battery. There is a way to customize this, but it is deep in the settings menu. Settings > Apps > Apps > Special Access > Battery Optimization > Filter for All Apps > select an app you want to avoid aggressive RAM Management > Don’t Allow. Overall, no regrets. If youre just looking for a reliable phone with great screen and battery life, and you dont care much about camera quality, this is a steal.

As a long time Huawei supporter (even via their big stores in Hainan) I am really taken back with the difficulties with this product. I cant get stock photos deleted, so theyre mixed with my kids pictures on my rotating lock screen. My photos sync to Google Photos (while in the USA) but the option to free space is not working. The bloatware stinks because, as a US citizen, I cannot sign up for Huawei - there isnt even my country on the drop down. This really does sadden me. I brag on Huawei all the time. At least 10 people have thia brand from my recommendations (software guy here - people assume I know everything about all things computers). :/

Ive been using this phone for a few weeks now and I havent had one single issue with it. It performs just as well as my S9 plus. It works perfectly fine on AT&T. I live in an area where usually service is terrible(I had Tmobile from where I lived previously and that wouldnt come in at all here) I get 4gLTE most of the time. My house it bounces between 3g and 4g. I absolutely recommend this phone especially for the price.

Recibido en la fecha indicada, el modelo (JSN-L23) y de color azul, tal como lo quería. Actualizó automáticamente a la versión Android 9 (Pie) y EMUI 9.1. Llevo 2 semanas de uso y el funcionamiento es excelente.

Im at a loss to say there is anything more that I could want from this phone. I needed a replacement for a damaged phone and after a review of numerous inexpensive Android models, I am so glad I made this purchase.

for the price of the phone, what else more you can ask for? My wife has a new iphone which costed quite a few hundreds of dollars more and has a small dinky screen. The display of this phone is quite large and beautiful. The fingerprint recognition is super fast and accurate. The face recognition feature is nice as well although I dont really use it much. The battery life is good compared to other brands of phones, but not as good as my old Mate 2 which was outstanding. The blue color of the shell looks amazing. The phone is very fast and responsive. The speaker audio mode is quite loud compared to my old phones. For less than $200, you cannot beat it! Or may be by another Huawei phone.
