Honor 8X Dual SIM, 64 GB storage, 20 MP Dual Camera and 6.5 Inch Full View Display, UK Official Device - Black

What an amazing phone for a tiny price.Starting how light the whole phone is for the size of it. I did think the phone was going to be oversize but it seems to be just about right. The screen is a real joy to look at, very crisp n clear. Battery life seem to be good, I've only charged it once and after 24 hours it's down to 39% with a whole day of messing with it as its new. The sound from the loud speaker is OK as is the ear speaker but, I have heard better. Bluetooth works fine in the car. All the normal apps work just fine and dandy. I'm running a Vodafone and o2 sim and both pick up good signal also you can set what sim does what data, text and calls. But the best thing is the face recognition entry, it's super lighting fast and you don't have to swipe, it just opens when it sees your face (if that's how u have set it up). The finger print sensor is also super fast too. The phone also comes with the screen protector factory fitted and a clear soft case that wraps around to protect the edge and back. This phone seems to lift a few eyebrows when I tell them how much it cost. Sum up, I think Huawei are only going to get more and more popular as the Huawei phones do the same, if not more, as phones 5 times the price. You won't be disappointed *****UpdateI've had the phone for a couple of months now and still very pleased with it. I get 2 days battery life from a full overnight charge. I've been streaming BBC sounds onto my Bluetooth speaker all day long and still got 77% left!! Amazing phone

Honor 8X (4gb Ram, 64gb) BlackChanged to this from iPhone 8 and wow.. I cannot for the life of me imagine spending silly money on a phone again when this 8x is so good.Phone comes with charger and micro USB cable, screen protector already applied, transparent silicon cover and fm antenna earphones as the phone has fm radio.64gb storage model comes with around 54gb free as firmware takes up approx 10gbThe screen is amazing, max brightness is very very bright and pixel density of 396 ppi really shows itself, very clear crisp images and text. Colours are vibrant and sharp. Video plays really nicely and apps like Netflix even allow picture in picture modeBattery life is ridiculous, 3750 mah battery, twice the capacity of my iPhone 8, charges quickly considering not usb c fast charging as it is micro USB but still charges quickly and boy does it retain charge well even under heavy use and screen on time, I'm blown away by the battery life, easily get two full days out of 90% (I don't charge my phone past 90% or let it go below 30%)The phone is actually very slim and light, way lighter than I was expecting especially considering the large battery. Lovely in the hand and definitely not too big (6.5 inch screen) after coming from iPhone 8 (4.8 inch screen) but the body of the phone is not huge and I'm average size in the hand department and its absolutely fineBuild quality feels excellent and second to none, very solid feel with no loose sounding areas and overall a very premium feeling phone with glass back and no plastic materialsUsing the phone is a joy, very fast in every sense. General screen navigation and app use is immediate, no lag and genuinely fast phone to use. The phone restart is very quick, easy quicker than my iPhone 8. 4gb ram really shows and I can't see how a phone could be faster to useFinger print scanner on the rear is not only perfectly placed but is immediate and not once in 4 days has it not registered my finger. Lovely tactile feel to it and lovely haptic feedback tooFace recognition unlock is also very fast and accurate and amazingly so even in very low light, takes seconds to set upThe buttons on the phone feel perfectly placed with only the sim tray on the left (room for two active sims and a micro sd card for more storage) there is a power /sleep button on the right below the volume up /down button. Both buttons feel perfectly placed and lovely to use, just a perfect feel and travel to themThe wifi/bluetooth/data connections are all flawless and blazingly fast e.g. Google searches, Web browsing, downloadingNo annoying Bixby type functions, just standard home screen and configurable additional screens with the usual widget and app options that android bringsSound quality from the single speaker is very good and loud, really don't understand how people have criticised this with the 8x, it's very good when watching you tube or Netflix content.Sound quality from the 3mm head phone jack is also very good and second to none, no issues. The phone actually comes with earphones also with fm radio antenna as there is a built in fm radio app, another bonus!Overall I cannot recommend this phone highly enough and I am a tech geek who has always had iPhone and ios. For £220 it is an absolute bargain and should really be priced a hell of a lot higher.

Big screen, great battery life, great camera, and a good price, however coming from a Samsung S5 phone I have a few things to say;The first thing about this phone is that the control buttons at the bottom for going back and the task manager are reversed compared to the Samsung S5. If you are right handed like me this may be an issue for you too because I have to uncomfortably over-extend my thumb in order to go back or use my other hand.I often catch the other control buttons (home and task manager) while trying to press the back button, and sometimes while typing on the keyboard. I think the areas the control buttons 'take up' are a bit too big, but I suppose that could just be my fat fingers, and not being used to the phone yet.The second thing about this phone is that it takes a very short time of holding the home button (middle button) before the assistant app opens. For some people that will not be a bad thing, but for me personally I have to consciously make sure I do not hold the home button for more than about half a second which is just annoying. Again it seems the buttons are bit too big/oversensitive for my tastes, but this is subjective as some people like this.You can, of course, turn the assistant off completely within the settings menus which means that this is a non-issue if you don't want the assistant at all.The final and probably most important thing that I will say about this phone is that the speakers (the ones used for ringtones, notifications, music, and voice calls) are of really poor quality. The speakers are far too tinny sounding and have no bass at all.At the higher volume settings (over 3/4 of the bar) the speakers begin to clip and just sound horrible. I rarely use my phone for playing music out loud, but my ringtones, message notifications, and whenever I use the speakerphone on a voice call always sound awful especially when compared to my old Samsung S5.In conclusion this phone is great for the price, but the speakers are very disappointing and drag the score down.
