Earlier today, Honor finally announced the Honor X10 in China after days of leaks and teasers. At the launch event, the brand’s president George Zhao aka Zhao Ming revealed that the company has so far sold over 80 million Honor X series phones worldwide.

Honor has been selling Honor X series of smartphone from late 2013. The first phone in the series was Honor 3X, a rebranded Huawei Ascend G750. It has been later followed by newer models every year since then. We even got to see some Pro and Max versions along the way.

The Honor X10 launched today is the first 5G model in the series. Thus, at the beginning of the keynote, Mr Zhao recalled the series as a whole. He pointed out that they have sold over 80 million Honor X series phones worldwide since its inception.

We feel the count could have been more if the brand had launched Honor 9X series globally since this series alone shipped 10 million units in China. The original Honor 9X Pro did launch in India recently but without GMS (Google Mobile Services), it will be a tough sell in the country.

On the other hand, Huawei US ban has been further extended for a year along with restrictions to chip supplies. This will impact the Chinese telecom giant including its Honor sub-brand severely. 

The sales of Huawei / Honor smartphones worldwide are expected to go down rather improve going by the current situation.

The Honor X series will be getting new members on July 23. The biggest change will be the new Kirin 810 processor which launched with the Huawei Nova 5. Ahead of the launch, Honor claims the Honor 8X series from last year as set a record with respect to toal units shipped.

Speaking at a Kirin 810 meeting, Vice President of Honor, Xiong Junmin, said that as at today, 8th of July, the total global shipments for the Honor 8X series has crossed 15 million units. Seeing as the Honor 8X and Honor 8X Max were released in September 2018, that means it took 9 months to get to that point.

Mr. Junmin added that the Honor 8X series was the best selling smartphone online for four months following its release. It also sold 10 million units in 173 days, the fastest for any Honor smartphone and was a best seller during this year’s 618 shopping festival.

The Honor 9X and Honor 9X Pro will be expected to set new records when they go on sale. Honor is banking on the Kirin 810 which it says cost a lot to develop. The Honor 9X series have been reported to have AMOLED displays, a first for the X line. Last week, it was revealed the 9X has a pop-up selfie camera, dual rear cameras, 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It has also been reported that it will launch alongside an external gamepad that connects to its USB-C port.

Phablets became so big that the smallest tablets are becoming useless. And thanks to bezels getting every day more narrow, the displays can now have a way bigger size compared to some years ago, without increasing the overall dimensions of the phones. The latest big phablets released are Xiaomi Mi Max 3 and Honor 8X Max. Today, Huawei Enjoy Max joined the bandwagon as it just hitten the shelves in China. Here is a comparison to help you find the best. Note that you do not see Huawei Enjoy Max in the picture because it is (almost) a rebranded Honor 8X for the Chinese market.

Huawei Enjoy Max vs Xiaomi Mi Max 3 vs Honor 8X Max

Design

Huawei Enjoy Max and Honor 8X Max are exactly the same devices when it comes to the aesthetics. Indeed, the former is almost a renamed variant of the latter with only slight differences in the hardware side. This said, these two handsets have a superior design to Xiaomi Mi Max 3 thanks to a glass back, a waterdrop notch and a higher screen-to-body ratio. Xiaomi Mi Max 3 has a full metal unibody design which is surely more resistant to drops, but also way uglier.

Display

With all of these handsets, you get a huge but midrange-class display. Whatever you choose, you will have more or less the same viewing quality as well as the same level of detail. The display of Honor 8X Max and Huawei Enjoy Max is a bit taller while the one of Xiaomi Mi Max 3 is larger. Further, Honor 8X Max and Enjoy Max have a waterdrop notch, while Xiaomi Mi Max 3 is notchless but it has thicker bezels.

Specs & Software

Huawei Enjoy Max is the most powerful device of the trio. It sports an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset paired with up to 6 GB of RAM, while its opponents both have a less powerful but very efficient Snapdragon 636. So, if you live in China and you want the best performance you are lucky, as Huawei Enjoy Max is only available there for now.

Camera

While Huawei wins when it comes to design and hardware, it loses if we talk about camera quality. Xiaomi Mi Max 3 has a better dual camera setup on its rear side, which boasts a brighter aperture as well as a better autofocus system. But it remains a midrange-class camera department and it is nothing special.

Battery

Besides having a better camera than its opponent, Xiaomi Mi Max 3 also has a bigger battery and it can last more on a single charge. With a 5500 mAh capacity and a wonderful software optimization, this device has no particular difficulties to reach two days of battery life even with a stressed use.

Price

Huawei Honor 8X Max and Xiaomi Mi Max 3 are priced around €250/$289 and 270€/$312, respectively, in the global market. Huawei Enjoy Max hitten China with a price tag of about €211/$245. Personally, at least when it comes to big phablets, I do not care a lot about design, so I would pick the Xiaomi Mi Max 3 because of its better camera and bigger battery. But if you love the look and you want the best performance, get a unit of Huawei Enjoy Max.

The Honor 8X variants such as 64 GB storage + 4 GB RAM, 64 GB storage + 6 GB RAM and 128 GB storage + 6 GB RAM are respectively priced at 1,399 Yuan (~$202), 1,599 Yuan (~$231) and 1,899 Yuan (~$274). There is no information available on the pricing of Honor 8X for India. Probably, it may carry a starting price of around Rs. 15,000.

The post Honor 8X launch date for India is October 16 appeared first on Gizmochina.

When the Honor 8X Max was unveiled last month, it was announced in two variants – one powered by the Snapdragon 636 and another powered by the Snapdragon 660. Only the Snapdragon 636 version has been available for purchase since the phone went on sale. Starting today, you can now pre-order the Snapdragon 660 version.

The Snapdragon 660 version of the Honor 8X Max has 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. It is available in Magic Night Black, Charm Blue, and Charm Red and is priced at ¥1799 (~$260).

The Honor 8X Max has a 7.12-inch screen with a water-drop notch and a 1080 x 2244 resolution. It has a 16MP+2MP dual camera combo on its rear and an 8MP front-facing camera. It also has a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and a MicroUSB port for charging its 5000mAh battery with support for Quick Charge 3.0.

The price is a bit higher than the Xiaomi Mi 6X with the same memory configuration which is priced at ¥1599 (~$233). However, the Honor 8X Max has a much bigger display, a larger battery capacity, stereo speakers and also keeps the 3.5mm audio jack. If these are features you like, then the extra $30 should be worth it. On the other hand, the Mi 6X has better cameras, Bluetooth 5.0, and a Type-C port. Also, its international version, the Mi A2, runs stock Android and will get updates faster than the Honor 8X Max.

Big phablets are wonderful when it comes to user experience and they are almost as comfortable as tablets. But they are also huge and it is not so easy to bring them in a pocket without problems. But if you do not have this issue, getting a device like this would be a joy for your eyes. Honor 8X Max and Xiaomi Mi Max 3 are the biggest phablets launched in 2018 alongside Honor Note 10. We already compared the Mi Max 3 with Honor Note 10, while in this article we will compare Honor 8X Max and Xiaomi Mi Max 3. It will be a way more interesting comparison as both these devices are affordable mid-rangers while the Note 10 is a flagship.

Huawei Honor 8X Max vs Xiaomi Mi Max 3

Huawei Honor 8X Max vs Xiaomi Mi Max 3: Design

Xiaomi is not used to launch many midrange phones with flagship-like aesthetics, but Honor does. Honor 8X Max is much more beautiful than its opponent thanks to its reflective glass back available in three color variants: Black, Blue, and Red. It even has a waterdrop notch which only contains the front camera, as well as a thin chin. Xiaomi Mi Max 3 is the classic full metal unibody device, so it is not anything special.

Display

On these devices, you will find two IPS LCD displays with an average viewing quality but a huge diagonal. Both are Full HD+ displays, but Honor 8X Max has a taller screen with a notch, while Xiaomi Mi Max 3 is larger and it does not have a notch. Given the marginal difference in viewing quality, it is all about tastes: choose Honor 8X Max if you prefer a taller display with fewer bezels or choose the Mi Max 3 if you hate the notch and you want less black borders while watching videos.

Specs & Software

Same hardware, with an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 chipset and up to 6 GB of RAM. However, there is a small difference: Xiaomi Mi Max 3 is available in a configuration with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage, while to have 128 GB on the Honor 8X Max, you have to choose a configuration with 4 GB of RAM. While Honor 8X Max has the EMUI installed, Xiaomi Mi Max 3 comes with MIUI. It is a draw and it is again about tastes.

Camera

Talking about the camera department, I prefer the Xiaomi Mi Max 3. It has a dual camera setup on the back with the primary sensor borrowed from the Mi 8 and with a brighter aperture. It can click very nice photos in most of the light conditions, even though it is far from flagships.

Battery

Xiaomi Mi Max 3 has a slightly bigger battery than Honor 8X Max, with 500 mAh more. And it can provide a longer battery life thanks to the bigger capacity and the wonderful Xiaomi’s optimization on its devices. Both support a fast-charging technology.

Price

In China, Honor 8X Max is priced €190 for the base variant (4/64 GB), while Xiaomi Mi Max 3 carries a price tag of €220. I choose Xiaomi Mi Max 3 as the winner of the comparison as it has a better camera and a bigger battery, and I do not care about having the best design on a so big phablet. But if you do, you are free to disagree with me and choose its opponent as it is very close in terms of specs and performance.

The early listing of the Band 4 also contains many official images. Honor’s upcoming fitness tracker has also bagged approved from the Federal Communications Commission in the U.S. through which some of its key features have been revealed.  

The AliExpress listing of the Honor Band 4 does not contain any accurate information on its specifications.

It also tracks multiple sports activities.

The smart notification feature shows alerts for calls, messages and alarm on the fitness band. The 100mAh battery of the Band 4 promises up to 14 days of battery life on normal usage. These features suggest that Honor has prepped up a very good rival for the Mi Band 3 fitness tracker that was launched by Xiaomi in May. As of this writing, the pricing of the Band 4 is under the wraps. There is a possibility that the company may price it competitively to take on the Mi Band 3.

Huawei’s Honor brand had confirmed the existence of the Honor 8X via a leaked teaser poster which was spotted online recently. Recall that the Honor 8X retail box was also leaked online last week. The Chinese brand has now shared another poster which confirms the launch date for the model. According to the poster, Huawei isn’t just launching the Honor 8X but will also unveil an Honor 8X Max. Both models will be launched on September 5.

The Honor 8X was benchmarked on GeekBench recently pointing at the presence of a Kirin 710 chipset but Master Lu benchmark did indicate that the device packs a Snapdragon 660 chipset. The device is said to bring flagship features such as AI super night mode, elevator mode and GPU Turbo technology while sporting an affordable price tag. The Honor 8X and 8X Max may likely differ only in their display sizes while the specifications are expected to be the same.

 The Honor 8X is equipped with a screen resolution of 2244 x 1080 pixels. That means it will deliver an aspect ratio of 18.7:9. The device measures 177.57 x 86.24 x 8.13mm and it weighs 210 grams. With a 7.12-inch display, we may be looking at the 8X Max. The 8X should be smaller than that screen size.  The 8X Max is also listed to pack a 4,900mAh battery while its 3C certification shows the presence of the 18W fast charger. Further, the models will come with 4GB of RAM and 64GB as well as 128GB of internal storage. The back panel features a primary camera of 16-megapixel that is assisted by a secondary 2-megapixel sensor. The 8X model will come pre-installed with Android 8.1 Oreo-based EMUI 8 custom skin.
