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

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

Excellent and phenomenal phone overall for the price. Dual SIM is very easy to use and understand. Screen quality, speed and overall functioning of the phone is outstanding including the camera. camera and screen resolution quality is superior to the Samsung phones. The only thing missing is availability of good selection of phone cases especially phone holsters. I wish this company would build in the same functionality regarding icons organization and other things that Samsung has, thats the only negative but now that Ive been using it frequently, I have noticed sometimes the speed is a little slow, both streaming videos and navigating

I have been using this for a year now and I dont have any complaints. THIS PHONE IS AMAZING!!!!.... I didnt want to pay hundreds of dollars and I found this. My cheap soul is really happy.

Hand down the best android phone I have ever owned. The battery lasted me two days with heavy use. Camera is ok I recommend looking into a camera app. Great amount of storage and a memory card slot of course. Speaker is loud and using headphones is perfect also. Phone arrived quickly and safely.

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!!!

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.

Crisp 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.

This 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.

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.

This phone is amazing. It comes with a case in the box, and a screen protector on the phone! It comes with everything you need in the box, and has been updated to work on Android Pi, which is pretty impressive. The phone is fast and responsive, and the display has remarkably good blacks for a non-oled display. EMUI 9 isnt even that bad, but I did replace the launcher with Nova Launcher, and its just amazing now. Warning: Dont take the screen protector off of it until you are SURE the new one fits. Ive ordered glass screen protectors from two companies now, and neither fit correctly. The one flaw with this phone may be finding screen protectors that fit it well. Did I mention it has two sim card slots AND a microSD slot? A lot of phones in this price range make you choose between the second sim and the microSD.
