The Honor 8X offers flagship looks for a fraction of the price, and is one seriously likeable budget blower.

Watch out for the police, because it's an absolute steal. A bigger and better screen, more power than its rivals, plus serious camera upgrades, and all at a very reasonable price point? It's a no brainer.

It may not be the most powerful phone I've used, but it doesn't need to be. It just needs to be a good all-round package, which this most certainly is.

Coolsmartphone | Leigh Geary

Another class act from Honor / Huawei. A fantastic phone for an utterly fantastic price.

Android Headlines | Alexander Maxham

The Honor 8X is a true successor to the Honor 7X, with a larger screen, more storage, better battery life, and an improved camera. The Honor 8X is all around a great smartphone to pick up, and it should be launching in the US fairly soon.

Trusted Reviews | Richard Easton

The Honor 8X is great value for money with seriously impressive battery life.

TechRadar | Andrew Williams

With its solid performance, versatile camera and metal and glass build, the Honor 8X is great way to get a phone that looks and feels expensive but does not cost the earth.

NotebookCheck | Marcus Herbrich

In times of constantly improving quality of mid-range smartphones, not every Honor model automatically offers great value for money. If the street price drops a little, the Honor 8X could still be very attractive for lovers of phablets.

What Mobile | Manny Pham

Overall the 8X is a fantastic device for the price, one that won't disappoint the average person at all.

The Indian Express | Meghna Dutta

If you are looking for a handset that comes with elegant design, sharp and vivid display, good battery backup and decent audio quality, Honor 8X can be an ideal pick.

GadgetMatch | Daniel Morial

If you're looking for a phone with a big display, long-lasting battery, and good performance, the Honor 8X will not disappoint. It's a great contender in the midrange segment.

The Mobile Indian | Rohan Pal

The Honor 8X comes loaded with its share of pluses and minuses. The phone's design is pretty unique and makes it stand out of the crowd, while the large screen makes it interesting to watch any videos. The performance is satisfactory, while the user interface has some good features

TechPP (Technology Personalized) | Akriti Rana

Its design is certainly unparalleled, but it does not quite stand as alone when it comes to performance. But there definitely is a new beauty in cell town.

ZDNet | Steve Ranger

Meanwhile the mid range is filling with phones that have pretty much all the features you will actually use on a day-to-day basis at good prices... A notch above expectation.

The Economic Times | Karan Bajaj

At its asking price, the Honor 8X feels like a steal. The only other phone that comes close to the Honor 8X is Realme 2 Pro, but it can't match the build quality of the 8x.

Android Authority | Robert Triggs

The Honor 8X is a tale of some quite remarkable accomplishments marred by a few unfortunate issues.

NDTV Gadgets | Ankit Chawla

Honor is making an attempt to penetrate the market with a good-looking and relatively affordable phablet that offers good value for money. The Honor 8X could also be a tempting choice for a lot of people.

SlashGear | JC Torres

The Honor 8X has most of the things you need from a smartphone in a package that costs considerably less - it is still pretty much unrivaled in that category.

AndroidPit | David McCourt

For big-screen enthusiasts on a budget, you can do a lot worse than the Honor The 8X is big, handsome and does the basics well and, for a lot of customers, that will be more than enough to leave them satisfied.

MobileTechTalk | Domenico Lamberti

... I had a pretty great time reviewing the Honor 8X. When this is released this is going to be a real steal.

Expert Reviews | Christopher Minasians

On the whole, the Honor 8X is a great budget device... the phone receives the Expert Reviews Recommended award, but due to its camera limitations misses out on the Best Buy award; close but no cigar.

India Today | Sanket Vijayasarathy

The Honor 8X safely takes its place as one of the better phones. It really shines in two main areas - design and display.

phoneArena | John Velasco

For basic use, the Honor 8X is perfectly capable of satisfying consumers on a budget.

Digital Trends | Andy Boxall

Capable, curvy, and cost-effective, the only thing the Honor 8X doesn't do is stand out.

Gadgets Now | Robin Sinha

... if you look at the overall set of specifications and the performance it delivers in different departments, it is one of the most competitive handsets in the market.
