Greater than one weekTheres 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.

> 3 dayThis phone is awesome. The battery life is excellent and the camera takes great pictures. I love that you can take a pic of an item and when you tap and hold with two fingers for a few seconds, itll find and show you more items like it on sale. The only con I have about this phone is that the speakers are not as loud as Id want them to be, but even with that con, I would definitely recommend this phone to anyone for such a low price.

> 3 dayOne 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.

> 3 dayOk.. 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.

Greater than one weekI purchased 2 of these and neither will work with MetroPCS in the Dallas area. Network not found. While not a cell phone expert, Im not a newbie either and have invested over an hour trying to get connected (2G, 3G or LTE). The phones can read the sim cards because it displays the phone number and the metropcs APN info. Just no signal capture. I am going to reach out to the vendor and see if there is something Im overlooking but methinks the 8x is a no-go in the DFW area. My review is a 3 because while the phone seems pretty great, it does me no good if it wont connect to MetroPCS as my expectations had been set via the description and other Amazon review comments, thus a middle of the road review rating.

> 3 dayEl teléfono me llegó hace una semana y estoy muy complacido con el producto. El tamaño de pantalla es increíble y la calidad de imagen es buena, el teléfono se siente firme y sólido, no es muy pesado para lo que uno esperaría de un teléfono de este tamaño. La huella digital y el reconocimiento facial son instantáneos y me encanta usarlos. La batería dura mucho ya que es de 4000 mA. El EMUI (la interfaz gráfica del sistema) es cómodo y bastante personalizable. El único problema que he tenido es que la aplicación de Google no le funciona la sección de Discovery donde salen noticias y artículos interesantes, al parecer varía gente ha tenido ese problema y no sé si con el tiempo se solucionará pero a mí no me detiene de disfrutar el teléfono. El modelo L23, el que les debería llegar, está desbloqueado y debería funcionar con sus proveedores de servicios móviles. Soy de Centro América y uso Tigo y no tengo problemas con esto. ALERTA! Si van a comprar el teléfono les recomiendo hacerlo por MVD Mobile, ya que he visto otras reseñas que dicen haberlo comprado de proveedores como TechnoMaster y les llega el modelo equivocado. Lo pedí por MVD Mobile y me llegó el modelo correcto L23. Si les llega el modelo incorrecto, L22, lo más probable tengan problemas usando el teléfono con su proveedor de servicios móviles. En general creo que el mejor teléfono para el rango de precio. Se los recomiendo a cualquiera buscando un muy buen teléfono con un presupuesto medio.

> 3 dayCrisp night shots on the camera, decent battery for my usage (1.5 days give or take). Gorgeous construction and screen. Snappy os and its Android so fiddle away with settings. A month in and Im enjoying this phone a lot. UPDATE: Charger port quit working not even a year into owning the phone. I dont beat on my phone but this is a disappointment. Loved this phone but such a let down.
