Along with the HONOR Magic V2, HONOR Philippines also launched the HONOR X8b, their new mid-range smartphone that is only PHP 12,999.
HONOR X8b is now launched!
The HONOR X8b highlights its computer-level storage because despite being an affordable midrange smartphone, this device comes with 512GB of internal storage plus 8GB RAM and 8GB HONOR RAM Turbo. It means you can store a lot of apps, files, or up to 125K+ photos.
As for the chipset, it is powered by a 6nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 octa-core chipset with an Adreno 610 GPU that delivers extended gaming and enhanced camera experience. This phone runs the latest MagicOS 7.2 based on Android 13 out of the box.
Its software will provide you easy experience since it offers HONOR Share, HONOR Docs, a built-in video editor, network sharing, notification sharing, call sharing, and more. It is also claimed to have fully working Google Mobile Services.
The HONOR X8b also features a 6.7-inch FHD+ SuperAMOLED display that supports 3240Hz PWM Dimming and up to 2,000nits max brightness. There’s also Magic Capsule technology that will help you display information on some of your apps.
Moreover, it also has a triple rear camera setup consisting of a 108MP main camera, a 5MP wide lens, and a 2MP macro lens. While at the front, it has LED LED-assisted 50MP AI selfie camera. You can use those to fill up its very massive storage.
HONOR Philippines also mentioned that it can deliver a 2-day battery life even if it only has a 4,500mAh battery capacity. You can also charge it 50% in just 30 minutes using its 35W HONOR SuperCharge adapter.
As of now, we are finishing our full review of this phone and maybe it will be published tomorrow. But we already have unboxing and first impressions of it, so you should check that first.
