pane, 21 Feb 2021prolongs security patch update january 2021 - 101mb . 10.0.0.243 Good to know. With 8X being the most successful model in terms of sales to Honor they should provide at least 3 years of security patch updates.

Honor8x, 15 Feb 2021I bought this phone since a year and half andit was so good... moreLCD screens are durable why it has turned black possibly due to a shock or if you turn it off during the update then the phone becomes unusable. I bought a 'Honor 20 lite' a week ago which is with the same Chipset Kirin 710-6.21"- 128GB 4GB RAM and I can say that it is very good in every way, good 24mpx camera +120°Ultra-Wide Angle 8mpx + 32mpx selfie camera and works fluently and has a lot of space 128GB you will not regret for such a small amount of money a good phone for about 165eur full price, but if you are for better and more expensive then you should know your budget

RishiGuru, 09 Jan 2021Like you I am least bothered about smartphone charging spee... moreHappy new year brother.You can keep both phones; one for hand carry (everyday use) and one for home use (collection/back up). It will be your decision which phone you are going to assign to the two choices^^.

I would like to explain because it doesn't mean more megapixels - a better camera,
an explanation; 48mpx is only 12mpx the pixel is cropped to 12 x 4 = 48mpx but it matters Pixel size:( µm in microns ) Compared to small pixels, large pixels captures more light, high picture quality, and less noise, so I compared '' Honor 8x camera 20 MP - Aperture: f / 1.8 - Focal length: 27 mm - Pixel size: (2 µm micron)
Xiaomi redmi note 8 camera 48 MP, f / 1.8, 26mm, Pixel size: (0.8µm micron),
Honor has a better picture because pixel size is more than double.
you will find one of the best camera in Huawei P40 ;
50 MP, f/1.9, 23mm (wide), 1/1.28", (2.44µm, microns ) omnidirectional PDAF, OIS ''Leica optics''

Andre , 14 Jan 2021Dude, you're wrong again. Poco m2 pro is equivalent to... moreRedmi Note 9 Pro has an upgraded rear main camera & NFC over Poco M2 Pro. So what? They are the same phone after all. What is you point? I was sharing my software experiences with MIUI and that remains same over both phones.
And I laugh when you say I am short in cash and praising Honor 8X.... as if you know my bank balances in advance. Grow up my child.
I own many flagship phones using flagship Snapdragon 855, Snapdragon 845, Snapdragon 835, Kirin 970 SoCs ... but I am wise enough to draw a line in terms of performance and features based on price while respecting the time frame when it was launched.
I am not here to advertise and sell Honor 8X or Honor 9X Pro. I am here to share my experiences with them. It is upto the reader and his/her intellectual ability to realize it and act accordingly.

Hello,
if I understood you well you complain about 2 things the first is for EMUI which you said is not good but my friend according to me this is a very good organized phone and everything is right where it is needed just try any office from xiaomi and you will throw it through the window, you will find what you are looking for in a place where it does not belong, but if you switched from samsung or iphone, then you are uncomfortable because everything is different with them.
Now for another problem with the battery;
I have already written this several times on how to maintain good battery health and you can find it if you go back a bit and read my suggestions because they are great and work just as described and it is from my experience because my battery is also 2 years old and works as if it is new and I have a few older phones that have proven it because even today, after 5-6 years, the batteries are like new. You said you are a daily driver and if you charge the phone in the carcharger then your battery breaks down because of that, so charging the battery in the car only in an emergency.
You mentioned 'Honor's 9X Lite'so if you own it I would like to ask you if it is good as an Honor 8x despite the fact that we know it is identical with small changes but the question is how good is the camera compared to Honor 8x and despite the fact that it says 48mpx to we know that the camera is cropped in pixels 12mpx x 4 = 48mpx so I'm interested in the image quality and I think he didn't get android 10.0update as an Honor 8x, so I would be grateful for information from you, I ask because it is offered to me from my mobile operator for the price of (80eur) and I would use it as a gift to my daughter, thanks in advance.

Great phone, if you're not the kind of person who needs the latest and greatest flagship phones, this phone does everything fairly well. The only downside is EMUI and it's UI/UX jank that might put some people off. It takes some time to get used to but performance wise, there's no complaints. Used it daily for about 2 years. Only issue that came up was a bloated battery that I got replaced quick for fairly cheap. 2 years after it's release, releases at this price range provides about the same performance, and Honor's 9X Lite is basically the same model with some minor improvements and downgrades at a lower price. I got mine before the Huawei/Google debacle, so mine still has Google services; as such I have no idea if I'd recommend it since I have not experienced it without Google services, which would impact a common consumer's experience as a daily driver.

RishiGuru, 13 Jan 2021I am inline with your views.
I have used phones from Chi... moreDude, you're wrong again. Poco m2 pro is equivalent to redmi note 9s global plus the 33w charging. Redmi note 9 pro global has a better camera, 64mp and has nfc, that poco doesn't have.
And again, honor 8x was a nice phone at a time, all. Glass and metal and thin, but times are changing and the technology us changing very quickly. So honor 8x,though still perfectly usable for basic things, cannot compare with the new technology two years and so later. Gotta move on with times..

I know that your comment was not addressed to me and i ho... moreYou guys don't know what you talking about. I'm Macedonian, same as Pane. I've used Honor 8x for two years, same as Pane. Unlike Pane, I also bought poco f2 Pro, then lost the phone. Without discussing that one which is in a different league, I then bought a mi 10t lite, two months ago.
Even though I've never had any problems in two years with 8x,apart from few bugs here and there, the difference between 8x and the new phones such as mi 10t lite and the new features, is choke and cheese. You guys know what you know but you don't know what you haven't experienced. And you don't know this.
In this case, myths about Xiaomi.. Poco and then this one mi 10t lite.. I have had zero ads in them, I repeat zero.. No bugs so far either.. Updates, have had 3 on mi 10t lite in two months, currently December 1 2020.
So mi 10t lite, which is comparable to honor 8x in terms of market segment and price at release, but obviously two years newer, is exponentiallly an improvement to honor 8x in every possible way, from fluidity in 120hz, stereo speakers, double fast processor, cameras and camera features in a different league, battery soc about 30% longer and charges in less than an hour. Ufs 2.2 storage spead, renders everything at least 4 times faster than 8x.
So comparing same price phones from late 2018 and late 2020,huge difference. I repeat, huge deference. Everything else, is a delusion I'm afraid dude. So that's it pretty much. Use this info, don't use it, up to you. I just tried to help you a little, since again, you guys don't have the cash yet you find phones important.
And if you gonna get the mi 10tlite,get the pink rose version. It has a pearl like finish at the back, it shows literally no finger prints, unlike the glossy options. Also get it at uk mi store. I got the 6/128 version over black friday period for 230 euros with all the charges and delivery. Honor 8x cost me 250, two years ago for 4/64 model.

I have used phones from Chinese brands like Honor, Vivo, Oppo & Meizu who provides very stable software updates which never hampers the fundamental important actions we perform on a daily basis on a phone. Actions like phone calls, call quality, messages, Wifi, Bluetooth, Hotspot, Location etc. Also Honor are very early adapters to Android version upgrades. My Honor View 10 received EMUI 10 over Android 10 in Jan, 2020. This is in general 4 months ahead what other Chinese brands could manage in India. So, yes the two Honor phones I have, View 10 & 9X Pro, the software is rock solid.
I cannot say the same for Xiaomi phones. I am a very late adapter to Xiaomi and recently got hold of their Poco M2 Pro. M2 Pro is a re-branded Redmi Note 9 Pro (Global). The benefit here being Poco phones they comes with its own custom Poco Launcher, devoid of any ads that Redmi users face. Mi, Poco & Redmi are all sub-brands of Xiaomi and depending on various marketing strategies they launch the same phones under different sub-brands depending on the local market competition.
However I have observed the MIUI 12 over Android 10 on my M2 Pro is inconsistent, though having a very good UI overlay and feel. With every update you have the fear of some core functionalities of the phone may get effected. The same thing happens with my Nokia phones. Nokia adversities fastest android updates and what not, but their software updates are hell inconsistent in nature. So like you I will think twice before buying another Xiaomi or Nokia phone.
Honor 8X goes down the history book as the most successful Honor phone every made with a global sales figure beyond imagination even by Huawei. Sadly, its successor 9X Pro having twice the might of 8X in the hardware department and with that beautiful EMUI is unable to carry on the legacy of its predecessor mainly due to the lack of GMS.
