The Kirin 710 chipset paired with 4GB RAM handles everyday tasks without much fuss, and the 128GB of onboard storage leaves room to spare, plus you can add up to 400GB more via the dedicated microSD slot. Honor 8X price in Malaysia starts from RM799, which puts it in budget territory even though the 6.5-inch LCD panel runs a sharp 1080 x 2340 resolution at roughly 397 ppi.
On the back you get a 20MP main sensor at f/1.8 with a 2MP depth sensor for portrait shots, while the front camera comes in at 16MP for selfies. Video tops out at 1080p, standard for this price bracket rather than a highlight.
A 3750 mAh battery backs it all up, and there's a rear fingerprint sensor plus NFC, both useful inclusions at this cost. It ships with Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box, worth keeping in mind if software updates matter to you.
