The Honor X8 delivers a sleek, minimalist aesthetic prioritizing featherlight ergonomics, narrow bezels, and balanced everyday computing performance. Driving the smartphone is Qualcomm's power-efficient 6nm Snapdragon 680 4G octa-core processor, featuring four high-performance Kryo 265 Gold cores running at 2.4 GHz and four efficiency-focused Kryo 265 Silver cores at 1.9 GHz, coupled with the Adreno 610 GPU. Accompanied by 6GB of LPDDR4X RAM (with Honor RAM Turbo technology adding 2GB of virtual memory) and 128GB of internal storage, it ensures reliable everyday multitasking, swift web browsing, and smooth social media use running on Magic UI 4.2 based on Android 11 with full Google Mobile Services support.
Visuals are showcased on an expansive 6.7-inch Full HD+ IPS LCD display (1080 x 2388 pixels) with a 19.9:9 aspect ratio, 391 ppi pixel density, and an impressive 89.1% screen-to-body ratio made possible by industry-leading 1.1mm ultra-narrow side bezels. The panel offers a fluid 90Hz refresh rate for smooth system navigation and scrolling, protected by scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass and certified with eye-comfort and eBook reading modes to minimize strain during extended usage.
For photography and videography, the smartphone is equipped with a versatile AI quad rear camera setup headlined by a 64 MP primary sensor (f/1.8 aperture, PDAF). It is supported by a 5 MP ultra-wide angle camera (f/2.2), a 2 MP macro lens (f/2.4) for close-ups, and a 2 MP depth sensor (f/2.4) for portrait bokeh. The camera captures clear daylight shots, supports Super Night Mode, and records 1080p Full HD video at 30fps. On the front, a centrally positioned 16 MP punch-hole camera (f/2.45) handles selfies and video calls.
Crafted with premium ergonomics, the Honor X8 measures an exceptionally slim 7.45mm in thickness and weighs only 177 grams, making it comfortable to hold for long periods. It houses a 4000 mAh lithium-polymer battery supported by 22.5W Honor SuperCharge fast charging, capable of delivering up to 3 hours of video playback from a quick 10-minute charge. Essential connectivity and security features include a fast side-mounted capacitive fingerprint scanner integrated into the power key, a 3.5mm headphone jack, full-function NFC, dual-band Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, and Dual 4G VoLTE connectivity.
