Honor 8X Smartphone Arrives With Excellent Price & Features For Photography Beginners

Honor has launched the Honor 8X smartphone that, once again, offers some interesting camera features for a price that won't hurt your wallet. 

The Honor 8X has a 6.5-inch Notch FullView Display with a 91% screen-to-body-ratio and chip-on-film (COF) technology along with a comprehensive list of camera features. 

As you'd expect, the Honor 8X has a rear dual-lens (20MP + 2MP) as well as a 16MP front-facing camera. The cameras also feature AI which recognises 22 different categories and 500 scenarios in real-time to optimise camera settings and enhances photo quality based on what users are shooting.

One of the main new AI features is a night shooting mode which Honor says will eliminate the blurring of photos when taking night shots under a maximum 6-second exposure, even with a shaky hand (we'll be putting this to the test in a full review). 

A 3750mAh battery powers the 8X and it's also the first smartphone to come equipped with a new generation eye comfort mode certified by TüV Rheinland – a feature that reduces blue light radiation emitted by the screen to prevent eye fatigue. 

The Honor 8X is available now in blue and black (there's also a red version but it's not available in the UK) for £229.99.
