Honor unveils the all new smartphone Honor 8X in Pakistan

At the competitive price point of Rs35,999 in Pakistan, Honor 8X is a pivotal landmark in the series, extending the reputation of an exceptional value proposition that no flagship smartphone can match. With Honor 8X, customers get a top-end configuration of a 6.5-inch Notch, FullView Display with a 91% screen-to-body ration and chip-on-film (COF) technology along with a comprehensive list of top features.

Fantastic internal storage and extended battery life

Honor 8X has 128GB ROM and supports dual SIM cards slot plus an additional MicroSD card slot up to 400GB. It also features intelligent power saving technology and a 3750mAh battery, which can last for more than one day on a single charge.  Additionally, the power-packed configuration under the hood guarantees a fast and smooth user experience. Not to mention, the sizeable battery makes sure that usage remains uninterrupted for a long time.

Powerful AI cameras, with breathtaking super night shooting

Honor 8X has dual-lens 20 MP + 2 MP AI rear and 16 MP front facing camera. Plus, the cameras have AI which recognises 22 different categories and 500 scenarios in real-time. Furthermore, the AI technology optimises camera settings and enhances the photo quality based on what users are shooting. The new night shooting mode enabled by AI technology eliminates the blurring of photos when taking night shots under a maximum 6-second exposure, even with a shaky hand.



Superb performance driven by the latest chipset technology          

The octa-core Kirin 710 chipsets deliver excellent performance in Honor 8X. Compared to the previous generation, the CPU single-core performance has increased by 75%. Honor 8X has a Mali G51 GPU, which is enhanced by the revolutionary GPU turbo. The overall GPU performance is increased by 130% compared to the previous generation, providing an exceptional experience to demanding gamers.

AI telecommunication enhances connectivity and voice quality

Honor 8X deploys the latest in AI Communications. If a person is in a noisy environment, such as on the subway or in brisk wind, the smartphone will recognize the background noise and enable AI noise cancellation to improve voice quality and enable clearer conversations. AI Communications can also detect variations in signal strength, such as in an elevator, quickly restoring 4G connections to maximum speed right after you leave the lift – users won’t miss a thing.

It is also the first smartphone ever to come equipped with a new generation eye comfort mode certified by TüV Rheinland – a feature which can reduce blue light radiation emitted by the screen to prevent eye fatigue.

Honor 8X is now available in Pakistan at a price of PKR 35,999 at your nearest retailers and on its official website.
