Greater than one weekI bought one Honor 8x from ebay (6-128) and it did not work here - due to the band availability. Though I checked the phone specifics, which indicated yes. JSN-L23, this model does work with my ATT network. The other features I liked include - 1) I can use my TMobile sim in the same phone (dual sim card slots) 2) I can add a MicroSD card to this phone. 3) The pictures took using night light mode is great. A few issues I noticed- 1) GMail app did not work for me on this phone. I use outlook to access gmail and it worked fine. 2) Microsoft Authenticator did not work for me as well. Very interesting. It could be due to the Android OS compatibility issues. Overall it is an excellent phone. It is good for moderate video game playing and regular office needs. For something sold under 300, it is hard to beat its value.

> 3 dayIm very disappointed with the phones battery life span, I have this phone for almost a year now and the battery is not keeping its charge. I would charge it and it shows 100% and in minutes it dies and shuts off my phone very annoying. Now I have to be looking for a battery replacement and hope it works with the phone.

> 3 dayThe great phone does exactly everything my Samsung did without any problems. Battery life is much better than my old Samsung and actually dropped it twice while waiting for my phone case to arrive and the glass has a small scratch on the corner and cant believe the glass did not break. Very happy with this phone and highly recommend to anyone.

> 3 dayI have no regrets buying this phone. I had the honor 7X for a year or 2 before I got this so I already knew it would be great. The battery life is amazing for this phone I can go a whole day without charging. The screen is very good for the price point and the speed that this phone has is pretty good but Im not hard to please. My girlfriend has the S10 plus and she cant believe how much my phone cost with the size screen I have and it doesnt look cheap. 10 out of 10 I love this phone.

> 3 dayI have the honor 6x and I loved it. I was waiting for the 8x to be released for USA but ultimately its not going to happen. After days of searching I found the jsn-l23. Im on straight talk at&t. In my area At&t LTE bands 2,4,12 are used. This phone support 2 & 4 on LTE. Im getting good coverage & speed. 10-75 mbs average any where I go. Occasionally in areas known to be weak I will drop to hspa (3g). Even still Im getting 2-10mbs. Good enough to play YouTube at 1080 with no issues. I would check in your area what bands are being used before buying.

Things I Like
> 3 dayI have used the phone for a few days since it was purchased and I would mostly be very positive to this phone generally. The features are pretty much very good for a mid range phone. If asked if I would buy it again, I would say yes, especially if you are looking for a budgeted phone that gets the job done.

> 3 dayCheap but very high quality phone. Great photos, fast, a lot of functions, best of all, the battery last much longer vs Notes. I used to use Samsung Note series but when I needed to buy a new phone, the new Notes are too expensive. After shopping around, I came across this phone. There were some concerns about the mother company but I am not famous nor wealthy so I guess I am not a target of being spying on. So far I am very satisfied with this

Greater than one weekI will not repeat the reviews of others, but I will tell you that this phone works great for me on the AT&T network. I am aware of the missing bands and I live in a rural area, so was eager to test the data performance. In my testing, I show a 3G connection at my home (which I dont care about as I use wifi 99% of the the time) and when traveling to a nearby rural (but larger) city, I tested at 4G LTE speeds. I was able to stream Netflix at full HD with no buffering at all. Needless to say, I am very happy with this phone for the price point.

> 3 dayI did make sure this is the version JSN-L23. Connected to T-Mobile with no problem, I live in the suburb. I so conversation 4G vs LTE. I had Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro which showed LTE but could not connect in the basement (that is the main reason I started to look for different phone) . Honor 8X shows 4G but received calls in the basement. Would be nice to have USB type C and NFC, but of course you can have everything if you pay more... Update: Even if description said NFC, it is not true. No NFC connectivity on this phone. And I really miss double tap to wake the screen which most of Android phones have.
