Honor 8X Max is a novelty of 2018, which was officially announced in September the world′s electronics manufacturer — the company Honor. In addition, this smartphone supports the work of two SIM cards, here you are, and please, the first reason for buying this model (or any other dual-smartphone from the catalog).

In 2018 this new model works out of the box running the Android operating system 8.1 Oreo. But in the market of android-smartphones an important factor when buying a new device is the possibility of updating it to a fresh version of the OS. So Honor 8X Max has not received any software updates, which is very sad, so we advise you to look at other DROID-smartphones in our catalog.

And also it is worth mentioning that the manufacturer did not implement support for 5G networks in Honor 8X Max. Therefore, if this is an actual requirement for a smartphone for you today, we advise you to choose any 5G smartphone from this list of models.

Screen, body and battery

In the case Honor 8X Max thickness 8.1 mm is placed battery for 5 000 mAh and a very large IPS LCD touchscreen with a diagonal 7.12″. As you can see in the official photos, the body has a neat little cutout in the screen that houses the selfie camera. Thus, the manufacturer decided to increase the screen area without increasing the physical size of the smartphone body. The screen is very close to the edges of the case, which also improves the ergonomics of using the phone with one hand. This model could become a flip smartphone and get into our catalog on a separate page, where all phones with flexible screens are collected. Unfortunately, this did not happen. And therefore, if you are interested in smartphones with such top-end characteristics, we advise you to look at them in our catalog and get a deeper understanding in which direction the entire mobile electronics industry is moving. Perhaps, in a couple of years, every second person on the planet will have such flip smartphones.

Main camera and selfie camera

Take photos and videos on smartphone Honor 8X Max possible on the main camera (16 MP with a regular lens + 2 MP Depth sensor) and on the front camera (8 MP with a regular lens). We tried to group all smartphones in the catalog into segments and this model with such a main camera got in the middle segment. This is not a very bad camera, but it is no longer a top camera. If you want to buy a smartphone with a really cool camera, then look in the catalog page with camera phones.
