Reviews for the Honor X8c

Honor X8C Review: Is it good for the price?
Source: Gadgetbyte Nepal English
So, overall, the Honor X8c brings some slight upgrades over last year’s X8b—but the price has also gone up by around NPR 4,000. For NPR 34,000, I feel the performance could have been better. For regular users, it’s decent enough, but it won’t satisfy those who play heavy games. Aside from that, there’s not much to complain about. The display is excellent, the camera is decent, and the UI is clean and ad-free. Just that—if they had kept last year’s pricing, it would’ve been a better value, especially given the tough competition from phones like the Redmi Note 14 5G and CMF Phone 1.

Stylish Budget Phone, Made Better: HONOR X8c Review
Source: Unbox English
Armed with the same price as the X8b last year, we think that HONOR was able to sweeten the deal with the X8c thanks to better main camera performance, a better overall display, and useful AI features at an under Php 15k price point.

Comment

Qualcomm Adreno 610: Integrated (in the Snapdragon 665) graphics card based on the Adreno 600 architecture. The performance of the GPU is between the Adreno 510 and 512/612 and therefore in the lower mid range. Supports DirectX11_1, Vulkan 1.0, OpenCL 2.0, OpenGL ES 3.2.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


SD 685: Fast mid-range ARM SoC with 8 CPU Kryo 265 cores (four fast 2.8 GHz ARM Cortex-A73 based cores in a cluster and four power saving ARM Cortex-A53 based cores at 1.9 GHz) and a rather slow Adreno 610 GPU. Manufactured in 6 nm and according to Qualcomm around 15% more CPU performance and 10% more GPU performance compared to the old SD680 (thanks to higher clock speeds).» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


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.

» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.


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).


90%: There are not very many models that are rated better. Most of the assessments are in percentage ranges below that. The tested product is not considered perfect, but the sources give a clear purchase recommendation.
