Here is the newest midrange phone from Honor. The new Honor X8a includes the MediaTek Helio G88 processor, a 100MP camera, and other features. Let’s find out more about the Honor X8a’s features, attributes, anticipated cost in India, availability, and other factors.
Honor X8a Overview:
Design and Display
With a thickness of just 7.48mm, the X8a is among Honor’s slimmest products. It is also relatively lightweight at 179 grams. By choosing smooth edges similar to the latest iPhones, Honor has also attempted to give this phone a more contemporary appearance. Similar to the Honor X7, the Honor X8a comes in Cyan Lake, Titanium Silver, and Midnight Black.
The front of this phone features a sizable 6.7′′ LTPS LCD screen with a quick 90Hz refresh rate. Honor claims that the X8a achieves an amazing 93.6% screen-to-body ratio thanks to careful attention to the bezels. Additionally, this Full HD display has received reduced blue light certification from TÜV Rheinland for eye protection.
Performance
The MediaTek Helio G88, a mobile processor built on a 12nm architecture, powers the Honor X8a. Two Cortex-A75 (2.0 GHz) and six Cortex-A55 (1.8 GHz) cores make up its octa-core CPU. The Mali-G52 MC2 GPU is what the Helio G88 uses.
The X8a has memory options of 6 and 8GB RAM, along with 128GB of storage (and no SD card slot). The phone is powered by Honor’s Magic UI 6.1, which is based on an older version of Android 12; Honor hasn’t specified a timeframe for software updates for the X8a, however.
Camera
The Honor X8a boasts three cameras on the back, the main one of which is a 100MP sensor. A 2MP macro and a 5MP ultrawide camera have been added to this.
It offers a variety of photography options, including portrait, time-lapse, dual-view, super macro, and others. A 16MP selfie camera is also included on the front. Both the rear and front cameras are capable of recording videos in 1080p at 30 frames per second.
Other Features
The Honor X8a’s 4500mAh battery supports the 22.5W SuperCharge technology from Honor. This phone just has a single speaker system and lacks a 3.5mm audio connector. NFC compatibility is only available in a few areas, however wireless connectivity options include dual-band WiFi and Bluetooth 5.1.
