HONOR X8a: smartphone with an elegant design
The HONOR X8a is a feature-packed smartphone that boasts significant improvements over its predecessor, the HONOR X8. One of the standout features of the device is its design, which has been meticulously crafted to make a bold statement. The phone measures 162.9-74.5-7.48mm and weighs just 179 grams, making it a comfortable device to hold and use. The HONOR X8a comes in three attractive colours – midnight black, titanium silver, and cyan lake – and we had the opportunity to review the stunning cyan lake variant. HONOR has employed a four-layer coating and colour shading process to create a shimmering effect that evokes the serene beauty of a lake under sunlight.
The phone’s design philosophy is geared towards creating devices that not only look aesthetically pleasing but also bring a sense of calm. The phone’s design is further accentuated by its straight edges and round corners, which add to its classy appeal. The HONOR X8a’s full-body design is a standout feature that makes the device stand out in a crowded market. The camera system, which includes a 100MP triple camera, is the highest ever installed on an HONOR X series device, making it an excellent choice for photography enthusiasts.
The device also features an elegant 6.7 Fullview Display with ultra-slim bezels measuring just 1.1mm, resulting in an impressive screen-to-body ratio of 93.6 per cent that provides immersive viewing for media and games. The device’s screen refresh rate can reach up to 90Hz, and it supports 16.7 million colours. Additionally, the display is TÜV Rheinland certified for low blue light, making it easier on the eyes during prolonged usage.
The volume and power button is situated on the right side of the device, with the power button also serving as a quick fingerprint sensor. The dual SIM slot is on the left side, while the radios are on the top edge. The USB-C port and speaker are located at the bottom of the device. Overall, the HONOR X8a is an exceptional smartphone with a compelling price point that is sure to make it a popular choice among consumers looking for a device that offers excellent features, performance, and design.
