The Honor X8a merges clean aesthetic craftsmanship with a high-resolution 100MP camera system, designed for users prioritizing photography, slim ergonomics, and a borderless screen experience. Powering the smartphone is the 12nm MediaTek MT6769H Helio G88 octa-core processor, featuring two ARM Cortex-A75 performance cores clocked at 2.0 GHz and six Cortex-A55 efficiency cores at 1.8 GHz, paired with an ARM Mali-G52 MC2 graphics engine. Equipped with 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM (with Honor RAM Turbo technology enabling up to 5GB of virtual memory expansion) and 128GB of internal storage, it delivers dependable performance for multitasking, social media apps, and everyday tasks running on Magic UI 6.1 based on Android 12 with full Google Mobile Services support.
Visuals are showcased on a sleek 6.7-inch Full HD+ Edgeless IPS LCD display (1080 x 2388 pixels) with a 19.9:9 aspect ratio, 391 ppi pixel density, and an expansive 89.3% screen-to-body ratio courtesy of 1.1mm ultra-thin side bezels. The panel features a smooth 90Hz refresh rate for fluid scrolling, protected by scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass and certified with TUV Rheinland low blue light modes to minimize eye strain during evening use.
For photography and videography, the smartphone is equipped with a versatile AI triple rear camera configuration headlined by a 100 MP primary sensor (f/1.9 aperture, PDAF) that captures sharp daylight imagery and fine detail. It is accompanied by a 5 MP ultra-wide angle camera (f/2.2) and a 2 MP macro lens (f/2.4) for close-ups. The camera system supports Super Night Mode, Dual-View recording, and captures 1080p Full HD video at 30fps. On the front, a centrally aligned 16 MP punch-hole camera (f/2.5) handles selfies and video calls.
Boasting an ultra-slim 7.48mm flat-edge profile weighing just 179 grams, the device houses a 4500 mAh lithium-polymer battery supported by 22.5W wired Honor SuperCharge, reaching 50% capacity in approximately 30 minutes. Additional connectivity and security features include a responsive side-mounted capacitive fingerprint scanner integrated into the power button, face unlock, full-function NFC, dual-band Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.1, and Dual 4G VoLTE connectivity.
