HONOR X8A
Gadgets Philippines|April 2023
SMARTPHONE | HONOR is completing the X-series with a new smartphone, the HONOR X8a, the middle child of the lineup, after the entry-level X7a and the mid-range X9a. Typically, the HONOR X8a wants to shake up its market segment, this time with its 100-megapixel camera.

DESIGN

The HONOR X8a looks similar to its predecessor, the HONOR X8, and resembles an iPhone save for the camera layout. It has a boxy shape and, while I’m not too keen on boxy phones, the light weight of the HONOR X8a allows it to be comfortably held for a long time.

The HONOR X8a comes in three color schemes: Cyan Blue, Titanium Silver, and our review unit’s Midnight Black. The phone is made mainly from plastic but looks good due to the matte finish, which helps keep away fingerprint smudges.

The HONOR X8a features the HONOR Edgeless display, a 6.7-inch IPS LCD with a 2388 x 1080 resolution, and bezels that are only 1.1mm thin. Also on the display is the 16-megapixel selfie camera. On the left is the sim card tray, and on the right are the volume rockers and power button that doubles as a side-mounted fingerprint reader. At the bottom are the USB Type-C port and the single downward-firing speaker.

HARDWARE

Powering the HONOR X8a is a Mediatek Helio G88 processor. It has 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. This combination makes the phone a good budget midrange option.
