If you're interested in bugging yourself an honor branded smartphone in
2019 chances are you're more confused right now than a love island finalist at the annual astrophysics conference
I mean
we absolutely love huawei's cookies sub-brand to bits but Allah has the awkward habit of releasing a new smartphone every couple of weeks pretty
Much we've already had two new handsets launched in the UK in 2019, and it's not even the end of bloody January yet
So yes
there is a lot to choose between but fear ye not because I personally
Tested and reviewed all of the other smartphones that have launched here in the UK and I'm here to help you decide which one might

Start them with the shiny new view 20 flagship phone
The honor v20 is the most expensive of the range
But it's also a serious rival to other fordable flagships like the oneplus 60
This is a premium handset through and through for the most demanding of users pack in huawei's new kirin 980 chipset for blistering performance
combined with GPU turbo 2.0
You can expect silky smooth frame rates on the likes of pubg mobile with nary a stutter in sight
despite all that power the view 20 s huge four thousand milliamp battery can keep you going for a couple of days between
charges well as even a spot liquid coolant to keep things were getting too toasty during intense use
Of course, one of the most distinctive features of the V 20 is definitely that eyebrow lift and designed for once
there's 0 notch action here with the front camera instead tidied away into a corner and the result is a display that seems to completely
fill that front panel
Which is definitely awesome for enjoying movies or shows on the go flip around to the back and the hotness
Continues with a patterned glass surface and that is truly hypnotizing
That's also where you'll find the rather bloody good 48 megapixel rear camera
Which we're definitely impressed by
Especially when it comes to those low lights and high contrast shots a full camera review and in depth view 20 review or going live
January 20 seconds to check back then for all in depth thoughts
honor 10
I'm, definitely also still a massive fan of the honor 10, which is fast approaching its first birthday
This was one of Honor's big flagship phones of 2018 boasted some solid hardware all slapped inside a gorgeous glass or metal frame
Seriously, the honor 10 is one of best-lookin mid-ranges of recent times thanks to its funky disco style surface
And this is where that v20 design originated
It'll definitely turn heads on the tube or maybe just blind people with its super reflective finish and this phone actually feels quite compact these
Days as well with so many smart phones hitting well above the six inch mark performance is still a winner
Thanks to the capable
if a little bit older karin 970 chipset while the
3400 milliamp battery gets over a day of heavy use between charges maybe fans will love the crisp
5.8 inch display and you get a generous
128 gigs of storage for download and plenty of flicks and Shores for that commute that jewel and rear camera still does the job as
Well with 24 and 16 megapixel lenses combined into capture impressive levels of detail. Sadly Wow, his new night mode isn't on board here
So low light shots aren't quite as nice as those taken on the view 20 or some of Honor's other more recent wobbles
Which we'll come to in a bit
honor play
Although the honor play is technically targeted at gamers
We reckon anyone who's got fairly demanding needs but a budget of under 300 pounds will still be
satisfied a lot of the specs mirror the honor 10 with the kirin 970 chipset once again stuffed inside
and backed by 4 gigs of ram
games run perfectly as you'd expect especially the likes of pubg thanks to that GPU turbo supports truth be told there's not actually that
Many decent unique game and features packed in here
Anyway, even that slightly put this Rumble feature
Which is supported by a handful of games like pub G Mobile is now rolling out to other honor phones as well
That said the mighty 6.3 inch display is a great way to take in games on the go
We're talkin sharp punchy visuals servin up a clear view of any battlefield
The fact that its larger means the play is less easier to handle only on a 10, of course
But as usual you do get a motion you guys excellent 100 mode to help out
and that growth also means that you get a bigger battery the
3750 milliamp cell gives well over a day of use between charges and can survive
several hours of non-stop game and what a comes to the camera tech
The honor play is a small step down from the honor 10. The secondary lens on that rear camera is a basic depth sensor
So shots are less detailed that your portrait photos will still look rather snazzy and
Wow is AI mode is once again on board and you can record up
To 4k resolution video, although the new night photo mode is again missing action
honor 8x
one of our favorite affordable honor phones right now is definitely the honor 8X this bad boy cost under
250 pounds here in the UK and yet still delivers a really seriously impressive package we want however
this is an absolute behemoth of a smart phone even with those skinny bezels the
6.5 inch on it 8x is a beast and a half but that enormous Full HD Plus display is definitely a great way to takin
Some Netflix on the move performance is a bit more limited than the other honours that we've already mentioned
Which is no real surprise given that crazy price
But the kirin 710 chipset is still perfectly fine for everyday use now
The good news is you get the list of washing UI 9 and Android PI software
Which is still rolling out to the likes of the honor 10 and the on a play at the time of shooting
we're really impressed with the 8X's camera tech - like the other player you get a dual end snapper with a depth sensor for
Those portrait shots, but unlike the player you do also get that excellent new night Lord on top of the usual. Yai
Smartphone great low-light results suddenly, you can't shoot 4k video over
Hey
Ho what do you expect the moon on a stick and as it's a bit of a big bugger the 8X also packs in?
a three thousand seven hundred fifty million battery
So you'll normally only have to charge it up once every couple of days or so
honor 10 lite
For a little bit less than the honor 8x you can also grab the new on a 10 light which truth be told
Isn't massively different specs wise
This is only a minor step down from the 8x but the same current 7-10 chipset backed by just three gigs around instead of four
You'll certainly see the odd stammer here and there but it's nothing to be concerned with
even the likes of pubg play is fine as long as you stick them on slightly lower detail setting and one of the
2400 milliamp battery is smaller than the honor player on the 8 X's we still managed to get roughly the same life from each charge
That software is once again banged up to date with a muy 9 and Android Pi already on board
However, there is no one handed mode here for some reason despite
the fact that the owner 10 light is still a sizable 6.2 inches ger
Impressively the owner turns awesome like Bend the design is back in action here, which is pretty great considering the 200 pound asking price
However, we did find that this phone scratched up a storm
So you'll definitely want to make use of the bundled
Transparent cover out of the 13 megapixel rear camera is absolutely fine for everyday shots, if not quite as impressive as the more expensive
But the good news is you do get that night mode for brighter clearer low-light photos
It doesn't work as well as it does with more premium handsets here, but it's still solid
Now if you're totally skinned at the moment
You might even be tempted by the even cheaper on a7s which costs just a hundred quid here in the UK
But fair warning it is sketchy when it comes to the performance now
Basically, the attack chipset runs the short which means that you'll see lots of stutters and stumbles. Don't know what you're up to
This is very frustrating especially considering that the rest of the phone is actually pretty damn good for that price
So that right. There is my rundown of the various honest WAP phones that are available in 2019
Which one might be best for you? Definitely?
