Design and build
The Honor X8b is seriously sleek. It’s incredibly thin, at just 6.8mm, which makes it feel like it disappears in your pocket.
Holding it for long periods is a breeze, whether you’re glued to social media, dominating games, or capturing life’s moments. They didn’t skimp on the materials either – it feels well-built and sturdy, without sacrificing that slim profile. It’s like they found the sweet spot between tough and stylish.
But the design goes beyond just being thin and light. They’ve kept things minimal, so there’s nothing to get in your way while you’re using the phone.
Plus, it comes in three awesome colors: Glamorous Green, Titanium Silver, and Midnight Black. So you can choose the one that reflects your personality the most.
I’m leaning towards the Glamorous Green myself, it looks super eye-catching! But our review unit, the Titanium Silver looks equally awesome as well.
Vivid AMOLED Display: A Visual Treat
The front of the X8b is dominated by a 6.7-inch AMOLED display. This isn’t your ordinary screen—it’s a canvas for vibrant colors, deep blacks, and smooth animations.
With a 90Hz refresh rate, scrolling through content feels fluid and responsive. Whether you’re watching videos, playing games, or reading articles, the X8b’s display delivers an immersive experience.
And here’s the kicker: it boasts an impressive brightness of 1200 nits (HBM) and an astonishing 2000 nits (peak). Even under direct sunlight, you won’t squint to see your notifications.
Camera Magic: 108 MP Triple Rear Setup
Photography enthusiasts, rejoice! The X8b packs a powerful camera punch. On the rear panel, you’ll find a 108 MP primary camera with a wide f/1.8 aperture. It’s not just about megapixels; it’s about capturing detail, clarity, and dynamic range.
The ultrawide lens (5 MP) lets you fit more into the frame, whether it’s a breathtaking landscape or a group selfie.
And for those up-close moments, the macro lens (2 MP) reveals intricate textures. Say cheese!
