- What's up, guys.
Saf here on SuperSaf TV, and the device
we're looking at today retails at just
229 pounds and 99 pence in the UK,
and you'll be really surprised
at how much it offers at this price point.
Of course, it is the Honor 8X,
and a big thanks to Honor for partnering
with me on this video, and you'll
notice that we've got two devices here,
and that is because we're going
to be giving one away. Details on the giveaway
will be towards the end of this video,
so make sure you stay tuned for that.
Let's get straight to the unboxing.
Now, the box is nice and minimal.
We've got the Honor 8X logo here at the front,
on the left, as well as on the right-hand side.
Let's go ahead and get it open.
Presented with the device right away, of course.
We'll put that to the side for just a second
while we see what else we get inside the box.
And inside the box, we've got a SIM card
eject tool, we've got a clear case.
Now, that's really cool that you get a clear case
out of the box, so you're not going to even have
to spend any more money on a case,
and as well as that, we've got a power brick
and a USB type 8 micro USB cable.
Now let's get to the devices. We actually
have two colors which are available
here in the UK. We've got the black.
It just landed here on the table.
Whoa, that's sticky.
It's kind of, like, not let go. There you go.
And then we've got this blue,
which I'm really digging the look of.
Now this device feel really premium
in the hand and that's because we've got
a metal frame with 2.5D glass at the back.
This glass is constructed with 15 layers
and it gives a very unique look
when the light and the colors refract.
You can see that depending on the angle
the light hits this back glass it's
going to give you a different look
and I'm definitely digging this.
Turning the Honor 8x around, you'll notice
one of the key features of this device,
and that is this massive 6.5 inch
full view display.
Now you might be thinking,
"6.5 inches, isn't that going to make
this device huge?" Well, not really,
and that's because we've got a similar size
body to a traditional 5.5 inch display device,
and that's thanks to these super minimal bezels.
We've got just a bit of a border
around the device with a small notch.
Now, this notch, if you're not a fan of it,
you can hide it using software,
and you'll still have useful information
such as your time, battery indicator,
notification icons all tucked away at the top.
Now this display also has a full HD+ resolution,
so that gives it a ppi of roughly about 397.
What that basically means is these are
also going to be very sharp and clear.
Now some devices that have just over
a 720p display are triple the price of this
and that is absolutely insane.
It just goes to show how much you're getting
for your money here with your Honor 8x.
And another thing I've just noticed is that
you do get a screen protector pre-applied,
so you're not going to even have to
buy a case or a screen protector.
These things already come included.
Now, within this notch here at the top
you've got the earpiece, as well as a
60 megapixel front-facing camera
with an F2.0 aperture for your selfies.
This camera also supports a portrait mode,
which is going to blur the background.
And around the back you actually have
a dual rear-facing camera setup.
The primary camera is 20 megapixels
with a pretty wide F1.8 aperture.
Once again, that is really impressive
at this price point. And the secondary camera
is 2 megapixels and that's going to help with
depth information for your portrait mode shots.
Now, you'll also notice here AI camera
and that is because you have AI built in.
And this is going to help recognize
22 categories and 500 scenarios in
real time to enhance your images.
Now, we've also got a fingerprint scanner
here in the back and it is super fast.
Just check this out.
Tap. We're in. Lock it. Tap. We're in.
But if you don't want to use the fingerprint
scanner you do have facial recognition
so you can use face unlock here too.
So you can just point it at your face,
swipe up, and you're in. Super quick.
You can see that it's locked.
Point it to my face. Swipe up. Boom.
Very very quick and easy and it's nice
that you do have multiple options.
Now, taking a look around at the bottom,
we do have a 3.5 mm jack. Now, this is something that we're
not seeing much of these days,
and that means you're going to be able to use
all of your standard earphones with this.
You're not going to have to go out
and buy any dongles or anything like that.
You've got your primary mic. You've got
a micro USB input on a bottom-firing speaker.
On the right-hand side there's a
power button as well as the volume rocker.
At the top there is a secondary mic,
and on the left-hand side we've
got a SIM card tray. Now, this
SIM card tray has space for two
SIM cards as well as a micro SD card.
So the device comes with 64 gigabytes of space,
which is really good as it is, but you can
expand that storage by up to another
400 gigabytes with a micro SD card.
Now, dual SIM devices traditionally
have space for either two SIM cards
or one SIM card and a micro SD card,
but on the Honor 8x you can have two SIM cards
and a micro SD card at the same time.
That's really really cool.
Now, that's all of the outside,
what about the internals? Well,
the Honor 8x is powered by the Kirin 710
octa-core processor with 4 gigabytes of RAM
and you also have a GPU turbo,
which is going to be really helpful
if you're somebody who likes to game
and if you are somebody who likes to game
then I'm sure battery life is also going to be
a big concern for you, but that's nothing
to worry about because the Honor 8x
has a massive 3750 mh battery,
so that should keep you going all day long.
For software you do have Android Oreo
with EMUI version 8.2 on top,
and I think you do have to agree with me
when I say for all of these features
that you're getting this is a very very
competitive price point. 229 pounds and 99 pence.
You could buy two of these and still be
saving lots of money on many other
competitor devices out there, and if you
do want to pick one of these up,
then I'm going to be leaving a
link in the description below.
