| HONOR X8a Top Features; Affordably Awesome At Only Php10,990 |
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Looking for a smartphone, you would want to flaunt in all its angles anywhere you go? Then go for the HONOR X8a. This smartphone can easily fit into the category of the prettiest devices in the market to date. Its unibody comes with flat sides all over – similar to an iPhone 12 – providing an easy grip. Plus, this device is only 7.48 mm in depth and 179 grams in weight. At the back, it comes with aesthetically pleasing four circles with three camera sensors and an LED flash positioned in a square panel.
The elegant and eye-catching design of the HONOR X8a is further accentuated by its beautiful colors that come with a glitter effect. Get the Cyan Lake color if you're a beach bum, as its blue hue will remind you of the ocean. Meanwhile, for those who like things bright and sparkly, there's Titanium Silver for you. And lastly, for those who prefer simple stuff, the HONOR X8a in Midnight Black is an easy choice.
According to HONOR, they used sand crystal frosting in designing the HONOR X8a. This is what gives that shimmery look when the back of the device is hit with light.
A screen to suffice for binge-watching
Other smartphones that fall under the price segment of the HONOR X8a typically have bulky bezels that somehow affect the overall viewing experience. With the HONOR X8a, this is not the case. Its 6.7-inch screen is maximized with 1.1mm-thin bezels and a screen-to-body ratio of 93.6 percent. It almost got an all-screen display if not for a punch-hole camera.
Another good thing about the HONOR X8a's screen is its 90Hz refresh rate. In layman's terms, this means that you're guaranteed a smooth scrolling experience and fluid gaming and content viewing. This is complemented by a 2388 x 1080 resolution with vivid colors and crisp details.

Moreover, the HONOR X8a's screen is also TUV Rheinland-certified. This means that it produces lower levels of blue light, ensuring that you won't experience eye fatigue even with long-term use.
'Say cheese' with three cameras.
Triple cameras used to be available only on more expensive smartphones. But with brands like HONOR which push innovation to be more accessible to everyone, budget devices rarely come with a single camera nowadays.
On the HONOR X8a are three cameras – a 100-megapixel primary ultra-clear camera and one shooter each for wide & depth and macro photography modes. These all work together to capture decent pictures. Upfront is a 16-megapixel selfie camera which HONOR says is capable of taking self-portraits with the right skin tone and texture.
The HONOR X8a also has a unique video feature – the Dual-View Mode. With this, you can use the front and rear cameras simultaneously, and the screen will record subjects on a side-by-side frame.
Experience the 'Magic'
Out of the box, the HONOR X8a comes with Magic UI 6 on top of Android 12, that's designed to be more convenient and more efficient for the users. Among its features that we liked the most include the large folder design that makes app icons more prominent, a sunrise and sunset mode to automatically brighten or darken the UI, and HONOR Share for more effortless synchronization and file transfers between devices.
Plus, the HONOR X8a has an extra volume feature that allows you to hear clear phone calls even in noisy environments.
On top of all of these, the HONOR X8a also works smoothly, thanks to its 8GB + 128GB RAM and storage combination. Supported by HONOR RAM Turbo, this smartphone can also launch apps quickly and allows users to multitask efficiently by swiftly switching from one app to another.
All-day power
Running on a 4,500 mAh battery, the HONOR X8a can last a whole day from moderate use to heavy use. When its power gets drained, you don't need to wait that long to recharge it back to 100% because this smartphone is equipped with the 22.5w HONOR SuperCharge. It'll only take 30 minutes for a 50% battery charge.
The HONOR X8a sells for P10,990 at HONOR stores online and offline and via authorized resellers all over the country. Get to know more about this smartphone by reading our HONOR X8a Review; HONOR Maintains A Winning Streak.
