Glory8X belongs to the Glory Play series,It is the replacement product of Changwan7X,The benchmark model is Xiaomi Mi 8 Youth Edition,The lowest configuration model is priced at 1499 yuan,The top model is 1899 yuan。
 
Glory8XThe appearance design is not quite like a thousand-yuan machine,Double-sided glass and metal middle frame,The vertical row of dual cameras behind is separated,Color separation design is done on the side of the camera,There is a little bit of card machine feeling when you look at it horizontally,The look is more unique。 It's a pity that there is an opening for fingerprint unlocking in the middle, which destroys the sense of unity of the back cover, and the position is also high, which is not very convenient for daily use.
 
The screen on the front is a notch screen, the area is not large, the COF packaging process is used, and the chin width is narrower than that of many flagship machines, as an LCD screen, which is rare. The bottom part,Retain3.5mmHeadphone jack,Praise,The interface is still Micro USB,It's understandable for a thousand-yuan machine,But the high-end model will not change the interface type because the price becomes higher,It's a pity。
 
In terms of screen, O-film's LCD screen is used, 6.5 inches, 2340x1080, and the maximum brightness is 400 nits, which is low in brightness and slightly worse in the outdoors. The NTSC color gamut coverage is 70% in standard mode and 79% in vivid mode, but the color cast in standard mode is smaller than that in vivid mode, with an average sRGB DeltaE of 3.5 in standard mode, 5 in vivid mode, and a maximum deltaE between 11 and 14. The bezels of the screen are narrow enough, but when the notch is hidden, the R-angle at the top and the bottom are asymmetrical, which slightly affects the look. As for passing the German Rheinland low blue light verification, it is of little significance, because most LCD screens do not have PWM dimming, and the eye protection mode is also yellow, basically there is no problem of blue light hurting the eyes.
 
In terms of SoC, the Honor 8X uses the Kirin 710. The gap between this 710 and Snapdragon 710 is relatively large, and the overall performance is between Snapdragon 636 and Snapdragon 660. The CPU size core of the Kirin 710 is similar to that of the Snapdragon 660, and the performance score is slightly weaker than that of the Snapdragon 660, while the GPU part is Mali-G51, and the performance is similar to the Adreno 509 of the Snapdragon 636, but there is a gap compared with the Adreno 512 of the Snapdragon 660. With the blessing of GPU Turbo, the performance of the Honor 8X has not improved by leaps and bounds, but has decreased in the resolution of the Honor of Kings HD mode. In the game of Exciting Battlefield, the frame rate fluctuates relatively largely, and indoor scenes can be maintained at more than 30 frames, but outdoor scenes such as driving have dropped to about 25 frames, and the strength of software optimization still can't make up for the gap in hardware.
 
The camera part is not the advantage of the Honor 8X, the rear 2000w main camera sensor is Sony IMX 350, in many models, this sensor is only used as a secondary camera. With only 1.0 microns per pixel, the camera is destined to not perform well in low-light environments, and in actual shooting, it often happens that there is a big difference between imaging and framing, with high-contrast scenes losing dark details, and colors are more vivid when there is enough light, and bellows and more noise will appear if there is insufficient light. Although the night scene part has Huawei's super night scene blessing, it has not been significantly improved, the picture brightness is obviously low, there is more noise, and the scene with low brightness and high contrast is the highlight is overexposed, the dark details are lost, and the overall performance is biased.
 
In terms of system, EMUI now supports full-screen gestures, and swiping up from the bottom middle is to return to the desktop; Swipe up from the bottom middle to pause to view recent tasks; Swipe left/right on the screen to return to the previous level. There are fewer ads than Flyme and MIUI, and the user experience is relatively refreshing. As for the shortcomings of EMUI, the icon design is still more traditional and conservative, and the aesthetics are insufficient.
 
As a 6.5-inch phone, the Honor 8X's 3750mAh battery is decent, making it easy to use for a day. It's a bit embarrassing in terms of charging, the battery of this capacity does not support fast charging, only supports 10W charging, and it takes more than two hours to fully charge.
