The Honor X8b redefines mid-range elegance by combining an ultra-slim 6.78mm profile, featherlight 166g ergonomics, massive 512GB built-in storage, and studio-grade front and rear cameras.

The panel offers a fluid 90Hz refresh rate, 100% DCI-P3 wide color gamut coverage, 1200 nits HBM, and reaches a blinding peak brightness of up to 2000 nits for unmatched outdoor readability.
