80% Honor Pad X8a review: A truly pocket-friendly Android tablet with an unmatched software experience
Source: The Indian Express
This is possibly the best tablet under Rs 15,000 in India, which seems to have almost everything that one can expect from a tablet. For anyone who needs a tablet for personal or professional usage and doesn’t have much of a budget, this is the one tablet that you should consider.

93% HONOR X8a Review: 100MP camera and powerful battery
Source: Root Nation
The HONOR brand is growing strongly: its shipments outside China quadrupled in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. Last year in China, HONOR took first place – and this is 18 months after the separation from Huawei. As a reminder, Huawei completely sold and exited the management of Honor. It is worth noting that after leaving Huawei, the Honor brand started producing smartphones with Qualcomm processors and Google services again. Smartphones of the brand were already presented on the Ukrainian market until the summer of 2020. HONOR phones were actively sold during 2018 and 2019: according to the results of 2019, they were among the top five most popular smartphone brands. HONOR has released a great product in the budget segment. Here is good performance, updated and modern design, the best camera. For less than $220, you get a smartphone with a great battery and a bright display that you can play on and get good pictures even in the night city. Plus, it is convenient to use and has a good design.

74% Honor X8a Review: Lost in the competition
Source: Gadgetbyte Nepal
That’s it for my review of the Honor X8a. This phone has a pretty impressive display as well as an average camera and an eye-catching design. But, all things considered, I don’t think this phone is worth buying in this price range. It could have been a better offering if it had been launched in the 20-22k price range. You can find much better options like the Realme 10, Redmi Note 12 (4G), and Poco X5. The Honor X8a boasts an appealing appearance as well as an acceptable chipset and camera. However, the price point at which it hit the market hinders it from standing out in the competition. Smartphones such as the Redmi Note 12 4G and Realme 10 provide considerably more value for a lower price.

HONOR X8a Review
Source: Yugatech
In conclusion, the Honor X8a can be a compelling smartphone in the midrange segment. The weakest point we see is actually with its display as it falls behind some of its competitors. But all things considered, we can recommend this device to people who want a smartphone with a decent main camera, reliable when it comes to its battery and performance without sacrificing a big budget. With a suggested retail price of Php10,990 (for the base model 6GB+128GB), the Honor X8a is a contender in the budget mid-range market. It might not cater to power-users or gamers looking for performance and long battery life but it’s still a well-rounded phone.

Honor X8a Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News
The Honor X8a is not that amazing if you compare it to other entry-level phones, especially the southeast Asian market smartphones. You are getting a pretty standard configuration without any improvement in the hardware or software segment. On top of that, the phone only supports 4G connectivity, which might be a big turn-off for many people. We won’t recommend this phone because the company doesn’t improve the basic features, and X8a is not a value-for-money phone. Instead of this, you can check out the Motorola Moto G72, if you are looking for a 4G phone in the first place. On the other hand, you can also look for Realme V30 as an affordable 5G choice.

HONOR X8a review: Is this 100MP camera phone a steal?
Source: Speed Magazine
The price for HONOR X8a starts at P10,990 (base model with 6GB RAM + 128GB ROM). It is available in any HONOR kiosk and partner stores and HONOR’s official online stores on Lazada, Shoppee, and TikTok. With a sub-P15,000 price tag, the HONOR X8a is one of the competitive midrange smartphones today. Its biggest selling features are its 100MP triple camera system, big 4500mAh battery, and sleek design. An AMOLED screen can elevate the experience further, but the current display is good enough for basic use.

HONOR X8a Review Philippines: Compelling Budget Mid-Range?
Source: Unbox
Despite being similar to last year’s X8, the 100-megapixel main camera, bigger battery, and use of a Helio G88 processor makes the HONOR X8a a suitable upgrade. Its main camera is the biggest improvement over the X8, as it makes the HONOR X8a competitive in the budget mid-range segment in the Philippines.

ARM Mali-G52 MP2: Integrated mid range graphics card with 2 clusters. ARM states that the G52 series is 30% faster and 15% more efficient compared to the G51 series on the same process node.

6.70":

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.

Honor:

In 2014 Huawei created the sub brand Honor and offers certain smartphone series under this name. Occasionally the products are also called Huawei Honor.

The market share of Honor products is manageable, but there are several reviews on Honor smartphones with average ratings (as of 2016).

74.07%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
