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

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.

Absolutely amazing phone. The camera is great but better when photos are taken in photo mode I enjoy large screen phones so this is just the perfect phone. The graphics are great. I dont have any complaints.

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.

i like everything about this phone, i got the blue one. i use the fingerprint reader and it works fantastic, the quality of the screen, the image and the looks of it make this phone look like a $500 and up phone. the battery life is great, the pictures also. buy this phone and believe me, you wont regret it. No need to buy any expensive phone when you already have everything in this Huawei Honor 8x.

Es necesario tener en mente que este es un celular de gama media. Bajo ese concepto me parece que es un celular bastante bueno con respecto al rendimiento que tiene, la memoria y la pantalla, que es bastante grande. Prácticamente no he utilizado la cámara pero las fotografías que he tomado me parecen bastante decentes. La batería dura hasta dos días con un uso no tan intenso del teléfono. Viene con un protector que para mi gusto le resta a la apariencia del celular, pero que si no se la colocas será muy facil que el teléfno se resbale de cualquier superficie

Please change the model number because its not 23 its actually 21 which dont work that well globally... I had to take out the motherboard the same day and replace it with my 23 model it was eventually perfect after I finish with it

I didnt know a screen protector is already on, and a clear case came with it, its not the best, but its very nice that comes with the phone, so its ready to use. Ill give a thumbs up.

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.

Just switched from a Motorola G6 Forge (and before that an iPhone 6s), and Im thrilled to have found the Honor 8x. I did receive the JSN-L23 as advertised... And as soon as I popped the sim in, it worked. I get 4g with Cricket in Nebraska. Cant speak for any other networks or areas, but it works here. Data speed is roughly the same as it was on my Motorola G6 on the same network. The thing that sold me on this phone was watching YouTube reviews where they compared it to the new iPhone XR/S. Basically, its NEARLY as good. Depressingly close. It doesnt have waterproofing (but you could buy nearly 4 of them for the same price as an iPhone, so yeah), and the speaker does leave a little bit to be desired, but the camera is great, response time is incredibly fast, the battery charges slowly but it lasts 1.5 days, the screen is straight up beautiful, pics honestly dont do it justice... And whatever version of Android it came with isnt half bad. (Which is saying something coming from me because I had 3 different android phones beforplutely despised the OS on all 3.) If there were an $899 Huawei phone, the thing would probably consist of alien technology. They basically just made a $214 iPhone XR. Would highly recommend. Will update the review if it goes downhill, but this thing feels like its built to last. So far, Ill definitely be buying another Huawei to replace this one when I need it.

A good phone at a budget price! Charges quickly and lasts all day.
