What the Critics Are Saying...

DxOMark
DxOMark

The Honor X8 5G battery provided outstanding autonomy when tested in factory default mode. The device maintained a charge for more than 3 full days during the typical usage scenario (TUS), one of the best performances we’ve seen so far. We had the same excellent experience during the on-the-go tests...
