> 3 dayI could not believe the value. for $200 I got a top of the line phone with full HD, 6.5 inch screen, and blazing fast responsiveness. The battery lasts me over three days of continual use!! The camera is of higher quality than I originally expected, and there is almost NO Bloatware!!! Maybe an app or two that I uninstalled but I am in love with this brand. Ended up buying the 8a model as well with this one

> 3 dayIm really happy with this phone. Easy to set up, easy to use, really good camera, has dual SIM slots which is handy to have when traveling outside the U.S. Was recently in the UK, Ireland and Ireland and purchasing a pay as you go Sim for Europe saved me a lot of money while I was there. Nice big screen and good sound quality. Very happy with this purchase.

Greater than one weekSo Ive just switched to AT&T and wanted to get a new phone without blowing $500 on a phone. I researched every phone I wanted, and hard. This had the best reviews I saw. Better than any flagship phone. I gave up the Apple iPhone life about two years ago and didnt want to go back. I upgraded from a Moto 5G Plus to the Honor 8x. I was nervous because I saw a top review saying it wouldnt connect to AT&T, but a few saying it would - so I took a gamble. Im really. Glad I did. Set up was an absolute breeze. Upon unboxing I saw it came with a free clear case, and headphones. I wondered why other phones never did that. Turned on the phone, and prompts you with selecting a language and country, then tells you to pop in your sim card, and boom. That easy. My phone was up and running! It gave me the option to move all files and content over from my old phone via the clone my phone app. It was a breeze and I am. So dang happy with my purchase. Battery life has been amazing. I literally have zero complaints about this phone. Do not hesitate to switch, youll wonder why you didnt do it sooner.

Greater than one weekBought this for another as a gift. The person is happy with his gift. He likes the speed and fluidity of the operating system. He likes the size.He likes the speaker output and likes the camera and the quality of pictures it takes. Overall he loves his phone and the only thing he does not like is the battery life and for a newer model phone it should have USB C power supply but only has Micro USB. Overall 9 out of 10.

> 3 dayI’ve had the Honor 8X for about six weeks now. I’m writing this review primarily for T-Mobile (Metro PCS) customers, but others may find some value in it. There is a lot of confusion regarding the Honor 8X and compatibility with the frequencies (bands) used in the US market. I’m not an expert by any means, but I’ve done a lot of research and obviously purchased the phone. I’m with Metro PCS, so my research is based on T-Mobile’s network. I’m providing what I learned in order to hopefully help others make a well informed decision. First things first… make sure you receive the JSN-L23 model of this phone for use in the States. If they send you anything else, I would return it immediately and order another one from a different seller. This phone supports the following bands & speeds. Please note this phone does support LTE- Advanced which, in theory, is much faster than standard LTE. A lot of your phone’s speed of course will depend on your location and carrier. There are numerous maps on the internet that detail a carrier’s coverage area with speed test results. If you look this phone up, make sure you click JSN-L23. Technology GSM / HSPA / LTE 2G bands GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - SIM 1 & SIM 2 3G bands HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1700(AWS) / 1900 / 2100 4G bands LTE band 1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 28(700), 41(2500) Speed HSPA, LTE-A T-Mobile’s primary band is band 4 with the secondary band being band 2. T-Mobile also operates on bands 12, 66 & 71 which this phone does not support. Band 12 has been getting a lot of press recently because T-Mobile is working to expand their network coverage. Band 12 is a low frequency band that extends further out while also being able to more easily penetrate structures such as office buildings, so you get a better signal in more rural areas as well as at work for example or inside a store. What people don’t talk about though is band 12’s limited availability. More likely than not, you aren’t even in an area that utilizes band 12. To see a map of implemented and planned band 12 deployments, you can easily find that information on the internet. If you just have to have a phone that supports band 12, I would suggest the Huawei Mate SE US version. It is very similar to the Honor 8X with a 5.93” display and a couple of other differences, but it supports a large number of LTE bands (2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12 & 17). The Mate 20 Lite also appears to be comparable and supports band 12 and has some additional features not available on the Mate SE. I’m not sure why, but a lot of reviewers on Amazon said this phone does not support 4G LTE. There is no LTE designation when my Wi-Fi is on, however when I’m not using Wi-Fi, 4G LTE is clearly visible next to the signal meter. Just a couple of other general points I wanted to share: • The SD card is primarily available to store media content only. From what I read, you cannot download or move apps to the SD card using the stock OS and I really don’t see that option on my phone either. • It took about a week before I received the update to Android 9 Pie. Some folks seem to get the update immediately, but mine came a few days later. • The Huawei user Interface is straight forward and user friendly.

Greater than one weekIm 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.

Greater than one weekIts 2019, every phone should have wifi calling. Very disappointed, but its kinda worth the ease and feel of this phone. Camera is good, battery life is great, the transitions from wifi spot to wifi spot were very quick, very happy about that. Only other downside is this is not a 5g/hz wifi phone, just get the 2.

> 3 dayLove this phone so far! All the positive reviews I read were absolutely right I think its my favorite phone Ive had yet It takes really nice pictures too My son likes the SloMo videos for when he does all his flips and stunts It came right on time and was exactly as described It looked a little long when I first got it and i wasnt sure about that but after using it you forget all about that It actually fits and feels really great in my hands which arent very big lol The screen is very nice and bright with great colors The battery life is amazing I charge it every night but most of the time it wasnt even dead by then I havent used the face recognition but Im sure its great like everything else I just use the finger unlock which works fast I got the black which is cute Of course it dont look as pretty in the light as the blue would have but I expected that and its in a case anyways so that doesnt matter to me I just love black lol and it looks good in the teal and black case I got I dont think the blue would look as good since the camera and finger button shows thru the case so I like that it matches the case Im not a big fan of the notch so I turned it off and you cant even tell Everyone didnt like that it dont have the c type charging port But that wasnt a big deal to me I have lots of micro USB chargers so to me it was more convenient that way The phone came with a clear case and headphones which is nice None of my other phones have came with those It has radio on it too which is cool I almost got the Honor 7x cuz I seen lots of good reviews but I decided on the 8x since it was newer and more updated Im very happy with my choice If you need a new phone try the Honor 8x You cant go wrong!
