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

The Phone is nice i came from Galaxy 9 ,almost no diference exept the price,, only proem is keep shows there is SD card mistake, once i restart the Phone is fine for couple hours ,and start over.

The product is gorgeous and really good for a 200 dollar phone! All my friends think its an iPhone X and the it has great customization features. Plus it comes with a plastic case and a screen protector!

To start, I want to clear up some false information thats being spread on here. I received the JSN L23 version which gets perfect signal on T-Mobile (I get perfect 4G but no LTE) (EDIT: As of an April update I now get 4G LTE). If you live in the US and dont receive the JSN-L23, send it back and get the right version; dont write reviews and answer questions saying it doesnt work. Onto the phone, this will be my first phone review, and I cant say anything that hasnt been said in countless other reviews, so Ill try to be concise: You will probably not find a phone of this quality for under $250. Definitely not if you live in the US (this phone was supposed to come to the US, but the government battling with Huawei has prevented that). The camera is pretty good (for the price, especially), but not Huawei Mate 20 Pro $1000+ good, obviously. If you want the absolute best photography youll have to spend a lot more. The AI enhancements help get good photos, though, and portrait mode is effective. The battery life is amazing so far. I went 15 minutes without draining 1%. Moderate use will get you through a full day, for sure. The downside is that it charges with Micro-USB instead of USB Type-C, so you will not have Quick Charge speed. The performance is very smooth. Multitasking, social media use, and media viewing like YouTube are all quick and snappy with no lag. Gameplay is almost completely smooth with either no or very rare lag on PUBG, though it recommends medium graphics instead of high, so I imagine performance might suffer with high. The phones features and UI being good are subjective; Android purists will not like the customized nature of EMUI. However, if youre coming from iOS or dont care about stock Android, you will enjoy it. Its evolved a lot and is faster than before, and comes with plenty of useful features (e.g., a built in screen recorder, and a phone transfer app that makes moving files from an old phone simple and easy). The display is also gorgeous. Coming from a 2K AMOLED display, it isnt so much of a downgrade to be a deal breaker. Its about identical in function; very bright and sharp. Not as good as displays that cost 3X as much, but its unrealistic to expect that. Audio is surprisingly good. Hardcore audiophiles will want to invest in speakers, but for casual users its above-average quality that translates to good sound in real world use. My Axon 7 with dual front-facing Dolby Atmos stereo speakers is the winner, but that phone is old, and the phones that have those speakers now cost 3X as much as this one. Bottom line, the audio is good enough, but if you want to get the best audio, you might want to get a speaker. Specifically, singing sounds clear enough, but some instruments can sound a bit tinny. But dont get me wrong, you will not be disappointed with the audio. Onto the general aesthetic, the nearly bezel-less 6.5 inch screen looks great. You can also hide the notch if you hate notches. The back of the phone is simply gorgeous. It is unique and looks premium. To conclude this review, I want to say that you will not be disappointed with this phone. For the price, its amazing, and in general it is pretty close to the level of flagships that cost 3 - 4X the price. This phone does not look cheap or poorly-made. It is very premium and will impress people. Huawei redefines the concept of budget phones. There is no real need to pay any more for a phone. Its only missing NFC, wireless charging, Type-C charging, water resistance, and a few other small things. Remember: send it back if you dont get the right version.

The speed is fast, and the size and weight are good. But the back cover is very slippery. If you dont install the protective case, it will automatically fall off, which is a bit dangerous. In short, the price is worth the project.

I have been on the Note 5 since giving back my Note 7, I wanted to wait for Note 10 but the 5 was going bad, I kept hearing about all the Chinese phones with good specs. I ordered the Umidigi F1, that phone is a beast, but it kept crashing. The Honor 8X was second on the list, I got it, inserted my T-Mobile sim and saw 4G signal immediately. This phone is beautiful in blue. No 4k or wireless charging but that ok, its fast responsive and comes with 2 sim slots and an SD card slot which added 128GBs. The camera is good and so is battery life. This phone is worth more than what you will pay should you choose to buy.

Update - Dug a little deeper and realized it had to do with the frequency bands that T-Mobile uses here in Texas. This phone only supports a small handful of bands and theyre not the main ones used by major carriers. Beautiful phone that moves fast. Its so unfortunate that its NOT COMPATIBLE WITH TMOBILEs 4G network. I was receiving complaints of my phone going straight to voicemail and after doing some searching I started just restarting my phone daily. That only provided a temporary fix since I would start getting calls. But I wouldnt know that I was missing calls until someone text me to complain that it wasnt going through. When that didnt seem to help, I started resetting my network settings. Same issue, it worked, until it didnt. Eventually called Huawei customer support this morning and they had me factory reset the whole phone and start all over. Again, it worked until it didnt (first complaint at 5pm same day). They didnt really have any other solutions for me besides telling me to switch carriers. What?! Im not changing my carrier to get a phone to work. Thats ridiculous. Called t-mobile to make sure nothing was wrong with my line and they told me this phone is only compatible with the 2G network. -_- What. The. Fudge.

Brought this phone to replace my Honor 5x. Had the 5x for 3 years. Have the 8x for 2 months now, must say that the phone is working excellent thus far, fingerprint scanner on point, battery life last 2+ days without recharging. I did receive the JSN-L23 model.

My siblings tried to get me to go to the dark side and buy an iPhone but I just cant justify the money since I dont really care...This was everything I wanted in a phone and more.

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.

I ordered this phone with Mobiles International and I did receive the right model number. I love this phone so much. It performs just as well as a flagship phone for budget prices. I also love that it came with a protective case and a pre-installed screen protector. Im coming from using a 5 year old iPhone with a battery that never lasted longer than 6 hours so this a very well needed upgrade. I recommend this phone to anybody wanting a new phone for a reasonable price that doesnt skimp on quality.
