Even with back-to-back releases, HONOR is far from having launch fatigue. Here's why the HONOR X8b is a proof of this.
It's screen-tastic
Upon first glance, perhaps what one would immediately notice about the HONOR X8b is what the brand calls the "Magic Capsule." Similar to Apple's Dynamic Island, this long oval-shaped panel on the top part of the HONOR X8b's screen displays notifications and status indicators with animations.
Apart from the Magic Capsule, the slim bezels of the HONOR X8b surrounding the screen give off a premium vibe. With this, the smartphone provides a maximized canvas of pixels for multimedia streaming and digital multitasking. Plus, the 6.7-inch FHD+ display of the HONOR X8b is an AMOLED one, meaning, it's made for sharper image renders and stronger colors.
Add to these features a 90Hz refresh rate and up to 2000 nits peak brightness and it's even more pretty evident that the HONOR X8b carries a competitive slate.
Customer protection is also a highlight with the HONOR X8b as the smartphone comes with HONOR's remarkable eye care feature including a TUV-Rheinlad flicker-free screen, low blue light, Dynamic Dimming Display, and Circadian Night Display.
It's a beaut from all corners and angles
Smartphone brands executing creative ideas to make their smartphones unique in the market is always an interesting sight. With the HONOR X8b, HONOR is once again refusing to deliver a boring offering.
The Glamorous Green colorway of the HONOR X8b comes dressed in a special leather finish with a "lychee-skin" design. There's also the Titanium Silver variant, which dons a glittery combination of baby blue and light pink. Completing the color options is a Midnight Black version, for smartphone users who like to keep things simple and minimalist.
Easy on the eyes and light for the hand, the HONOR X8b is at 6.78mm-thin and weighs only 166 grams. It's a sleek fashion statement that's conveniently portable wherever you go.
The smartphone also comes with the nice-to-haves including a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for easier and more secure device access.
Its beauty is matched with brawn
Like the HONOR X9b 5G, the HONOR X8b stands strong with its five-star drop resistance certification from SGS Switzerland. Despite its light and luxurious look, the smartphone boasts a sturdy build with high elastic materials made to withstand impacts and high toughness alloy materials that cover its corners. The HONOR X8b is so amazingly mighty that according to HONOR, it can carry a maximum load of 70 kilograms.
Its smooth from the inside
Running on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 chipset with 8 cores of up to 2.4GHz, 8GB of native RAM, 8GB of dynamic RAM, and options of 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB of storage, the HONOR X8b delivers a stutter-free smartphone experience. According to HONOR, the HONOR X8b is tested to run up to 30 active apps in the background without lags.
It's a camera phone from the back and upfront
Some smartphone brands tend to focus on equipping their devices with capable rear lenses only to give the selfie camera a mediocre shooter. With the HONOR X8b, this isn't the case.
The rear camera setup of the HONOR X8b consists of a 108-megapixel f/1.75 main lens alongside a 5-megapixel ultrawide shooter and a 2-megapixel macro snapper.
Concealed under the pill-shaped Magic Capsule is a 50-megapixel f/2.1 selfie camera with LED flash which is made to take selfies with a soft light for that natural-looking portrait aesthetic.
It's your productivity buddy
It's safe to expect that the HONOR X8b can keep up with your busy, productive day as it comes with a 4,500mAh battery. Even if instances that the smartphone will require a recharge in the middle of a jam-packed day, its battery can be refueled back to 100% in no time, thanks to its 35W HONOR SuperCharge support through a USB-C port.
The HONOR X8b is available through HONOR's official online and offline channels including the HONOR online store, Shopee, Lazada, TikTok, HONOR Experience Stores, and partner sellers for Php12,999.
