Honor continues to expand its X8 series, which so far only includes the Honor X8 and Honor X8 5G. The Chinese company has launched the Honor X8b in Saudi Arabia, although the name suggests that it is the successor to the Honor X7b that was announced earlier this month, but it has the same power, but different features.
It packs a Snapdragon 680 processor, swaps the 8MP front camera for a 50MP one, upgrades the screen with an AMOLED panel, and brings a smaller 4500mAh battery. In addition, its design is completely different. With these launches so close together and with few differences, we don’t know exactly what Honor is going for, but we’re guessing they simply want to adapt to different markets.
Features of Honor X8b
Honor X8b has a slim and stylish design. It is available in three colors black, silver and green. This latest variant has a leather finished back cover. Its technical specifications are as follows:
Honor X8b has everything to be one of the best mid-range in quality-price.
Honor X8b weighs 166 grams. The screen is a 6.7-inch AMOLED with Full HD+ resolution, 20.1:9 aspect ratio, 100% DCI-P3 color space coverage, a maximum brightness of 2000 nits and a 90 Hz refresh rate. This means it provides excellent image quality. Clear colors and wide viewing angles. Additionally, its high refresh rate makes browsing more fluid and enjoyable.
In the Honor X8b we find a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 processor, an eight-core chip that offers a good balance between power and efficiency. It comes with an Adreno 610 graphics card that lets you run games and applications reliably. The mobile has 8 GB of RAM and three internal storage options: 128 GB, 256 GB or 512 GB. So you won’t have space or performance issues.
The photography department of Honor X8b is made up of three rear cameras and a front camera. The rear camera has a 108MP main sensor, which captures images with great detail and clarity. It also has a 5MP wide-angle sensor, allowing you to cover more of the scene in each shot. And finally, it has a 2 MP macro sensor, which is used to take pictures of nearby objects. This rear camera has LED flash and 8x digital zoom. The front camera has a 50MP sensor, which delivers high quality selfies.
The 4500 mAh battery has 33W fast charging, which gives it good autonomy to get through the day smoothly and fast charging when you need it. The mobile has a USB-C port, dual-band Wi-Fi 5, Dual SIM 4G, NFC, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, AGPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo and a fingerprint sensor on the side. The operating system is MagicOS 7.2 based on Android 13.
Honor X8b price and availability
He Honor X8b is now available on Honor official website for Saudi Arabia. The cheapest version (8 GB + 128 GB) costs 899 Saudi Riyals, although it has been reduced to 799 Saudi Riyals or 194 euros to honor the work. I don’t know if Honor will launch this mobile in international market but it looks very good so we will keep our fingers crossed.
