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

Thanks

As a seasoned user of portable PCs and handsets since the CPM era (prior to DOS & Windows), I vouch for the complete satisfaction of my 4 week old Huawei Honor 8X Android mobile phone running on AT&T suburban networks in MD. At $180 (Amazon), its cost performance ratio is overwhelming. This is my first try with Huawei, I plan on buying a new model soon. I specially love its BIG 6.5 screen size when running in split screen mode. Caution: won t recommend for the uninitiated due to its skimpy hard to find user instructions. c_hsieh, 20191118

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.

The phone is beautiful for the price. It does not feel or look cheap. It comes with Android 8.2 and from I have been reading, it doesnt seem it will upgrade to 9.0 in the US. I have not had any issues with apps, wi-fi, or bluetooth. The only thing I have had a problem with is making calls. I can make calls but after a few minutes, my end of the conversation drops. I can hear the other person but they cant hear me. It doesnt happen all the time so its weird why it does in the first place. If youre someone who needs to be on the phone constantly for work or whatever, then I might pass on this phone.

Ok.. Here the deal. This phone is totally awesome! IF IT WORKED IN USA. The truth is it will kind of work. It does NOT pick up the backbone of att lte frequency. (17). If you live or work anywhere outside a metropolitan area, youll only get 4G at best. Really too bad cause this phone is sick. Amazing camera, great build quality, good software (although all the Huawei permissions to save data on foreign servers is creepy). Know this is a top tier phone, but it probably wont get you LTE.

This is my second Huawei product. I like that for the price point, you get a phone that can stand up to higher priced phones from the Big Three. I tend to abuse my phones as Im a maintenance man and my phones are exposed to dust, vibration, and scratches and drops. Screen: decent resolution. Has features such as blue light reduction. Id suggest getting a screen protector as my last Huawei phone was prone to small scratches. Standard protections should be fine. In the middle of the screen. At the top, the camera is located. Occasionally content is blocked in this upper area. As if the screen doesnt take in account that the camera is located here. Minor, minor issue. Only a problem occasionally when looking at PDF blueprints and manuals. Body: I believe its glass. I could be wrong. But it is beautiful. I love the placement of the fingerprint reader. I added my two pointer fingers and a secondary finger. Even if I scratch up my hands or have glue on them, its fast and responsive. Having the third offset finger really helps in this. Camera: I havent used the camera as much as my Huawei Mate, but so far its AI camera is of quality. Very sharp and detailed images. Im able to zoom in front distance and take pictures of small lables from a distance. My hands shake sometimes (medical issues, chemical exposure) and the sharpening mode really helps. Specially when zoomed in on text. Wifi/mobile data: There are some areas where I wish the antenna was stronger. The Huawei mate seems to have a faster connection. This may be due to the Mate being a version focused to the USA, and the 8x being an international version. Due to the restrictions the U.s. gov is trying to put on Huawei phones. But, in normal use, I dont have any issues. Occasionally Bluetooth fails, but turning it off then back on, it works perfectly. This may be more to do with my cars connection, and not an actual problem with the phone. I just noticed it happens with Huawei phones more than my old Samsung. All in all, its an excellent phone for most uses. Get a case. Get a screen protector. Youll be 100% happy with it. I just abuse phones so Im slightly more critical. I really wish major brands got hip to the game and made a more durable case. Id love something with more shock proof functions.

Love this phone. Finally a high quality phone for a decent price. I work hard for my money I am not one to drop 1k on a phone thats crazy. Sound quality is amazing and the camera is so good the night mode photos are exceptional just simply amazing so much detail. It feels very solid and Will Made in my hand. No lag time whatsoever when scrolling. I totally recommend this phone to anybody. Definitely going to buy another in November for my mothers birthday. The phone comes with a case and tempered glass already on the screen Huawei makes it so convenient. Keep up the good work Huawei!!!

Honestly... I’m pleasantly surprised/shocked. I recieved this phone a few days ago but so far everything seems to work fine. For the price, it’s great! The design is slim and reminds me of an IPhone X. It has a fingerprint reader at the back that unlocks the phone so fast. The camera is not bad either, but not the best. As for the battery life, I can’t say much since I haven’t used it on a daily basis, but I will update this review with that. Typing on it is very easy as well, it feels comfortable. I don’t notice any lagging for now. It comes with some apps that you can’t delete, but I don’t mind as much because i use most of them, and as for the space, I still have enough.

Dual sim working great , both att (h20) and t mobile (metro). Easy set up no issues. Amazing super fast phone. Low signal strength due to my rural area, but working full signal downtown major roads and highways.

Theres nothing that I dont like about an honor phone. It was time to upgrade and I chose the Moto 6. I sent it back after 3 days. Almost ordered the honor but decided to go with the reviews and ordered a redmi. I ended up returning that one as well. Should have stuck with my original pick. Once I got this it was smooth sailing. Beautiful screen, picture taking is easy, quick, no lagging and super sharp. Battery life is pretty good, not as good as if this had a C charging port, but it will last me all day.
