Honor 8X officially launching on Sep 5th

I'd rather wait and see it actually implemented rather than discuss about the speculations. Behind the screen camera would be a big deal if done properly.

Only Samsung can pull that off.

What is point in asking for suggestions from a big tech community like digit if you want to make phones your way?

I don' think they're taking our suggestions into consideration at all.

Or behind the screen, like the supposedly S10.

I don't think that would happen. At best even smaller bottom bezel & in display fingerprint scanner, but I doubt Samsung would cut bottom bezel as they keep their phones symmetric & there is no room to cut the top bezel.

I would say in display fingerprint sensor on the body of S9 with higher capacity battery & dual cams would make it a great phone.

Publicity

Every other Samsung phone except S and Note series is a POS. They lack basic sensors for unknown reasons.

POS?

 

[SaiyanGoku]

POS?

Piece of sheet. Samsung even launched phones with exact same specifications but different names.

Let's see. But dual front and triple rear cameras will be there on the high end variant of S10.

The Huawei Honor 8X is a mid-range smartphone which ships with dual rear cameras, a waterdrop-like notch and a big battery. The successor to the Honor 7X also sports a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. The device is capped with curved edges on all sides making it easy to hold.

The water drop like notch looks worse.

A TFT display?? Come on.

I'm just hoping 8X has "smaller" 6" display. I don't want to see people carrying around a tablet.

The day has finally come: according to Honor, Honor will launch two products, 8X & 8xmax, which are different from 7X ,the bigger one will support 7.12-inch full-HD+ (1080x2244 pixels) TFT display with an 18.7:9 aspect ratio，Screen To Body Ratio may up to 90%.

We don't need a weird aspect ratio to support a stupid notch. Also, TFT screen? We are not living in 2008. We asked for an AMOLED screen or even a good IPS one.

It comes with IPS display

Rumors were suggesting something else but glad that it didn't come to be true.

True, it is a good device. The small notch like 8X Max would have been better though but at least size of the notch is getting smaller.

If the 4GB/64GB model is priced at 15k, it would be a great competitor to Redmi Note 5 Pro. Kirin 710 is better than S636 & the camera should be similar, if not at least close to RN5P.

They should've used a metal back and cut unnecessary cost of making another colorful but fragile glass back.
Also, what is with that weird aspect ratio and under 4k mAh battery? A phone this tall would easily accommodate a 5k mAh battery.

Blame the people. Most people consider glass back to be premium (and Apple isn't to be blamed here). Metal is slippery but at least it doesn't break.

If it's launched at 15k, it would still be a good choice. With the popularity of PUBG, they might be able to gain the upper hand over RN5P & Asus due to Kirin 710. Still, at least they made something competitive, if not better in all aspects.

I had a LG E970 (which has glass back) and I was scared to use it without a case back in 2014. I didn't even unbox it till I got a case. Heck, I still use my OP3 with a spigen case for better grip.

Metal or glass but a case is must. Not upgrading the op yet?
