Honor 8x vs Honor Play | Side-by-side comparison

We compare the Honor 8X with the Honor Play, to see which is the best Huawei Honor phone for speed, gaming, camera tech, features, specs and beyond.

The Honor 8X is one of the most budget smartphones from the company in 2018, yet it also boasts some sleek design, impressive camera features like a P20-style night mode, and pro facial recognition. It's not as powerful as the Honor Play, yet the 8X still plays PubG and other mobile games without a struggle - and the battery life is excellent. In fact, the overall specs considering that budget price are impressive indeed.

Here's how the Honor 8X compares with the Play in a side-by-side battle, and don't forget to check out my one-month Honor Play review here on Tech Spurt. You can also watch my full review of the 8X, pointing out how it's actually better than the overpriced, overhyped iPhone XS in most areas.

How I wish honor play will have same bezel as 8x

[skusaid]

Who else hates "honor" written on front side of play??

You forgot to mention that honor 8x runs pubg In lower graphics than the play. The honor 8x runs it on high Graphics and high frame rate while honor play runs it on hdr graphics and ultra frame rate.

For me if you're in to Gaming phone with a great processor go to Honor phone but not that good camera, If you want half good in games and camera go to 8x but if you want more on camera but not that good in games go for huawei 3i, also Honor 8x and Play have 3750 Battery and Play has a fast charging engine😂

Literally dont know what to pick between Nova 3i, Honor Play, and 8x because I'm a person who likes to take pictures yet I am a gamer :

Nova 3i: Overall great 128gb (philippines)but the ram is only 4gb and only uses Kirin 710??? but the camera is the best among the 3. The nova 3i also does not support fast charging.
Physically beautiful especially the glass at the back.

Honor Play: Uses kirin 900+, 64gb, 4gb ram and supports fast charging.The camera is really good but compared to the 2, its camera is not that bright

Honor 8x : 128gb(philippines), 4gb ram, Kirin 710+, Cam is good. Close battle between nova 3i.

Uggghhh I love a phone with a good cam, big storage and with a fast processor.Should I just buy the 3 of them?HAHAHA jk
Sorry for the wrong grammar ^_^

[zeeshanshah]

I recently purchased this Honor Play, to upgrade from my Huawei P Smart 2018 addition..I didn't buy this phone for gaming that many bought it for.. Videos and pictures I bought this phone for and it has much better specs to the Huawei P Smart..Honor Play is on the way in the post..It got great reviews past couple months from various sites, so I'll be happy once it arrives

[thomastaylor]

honor play, I've looked into both of them in depth and I'm considering getting one of them as a new phone in a few months time, but from your review you've put the icing on the cake and I think the honor play should be the one i would prefer

[syntax-error]

Your voice is very clear thanks for the good video and comparison i already buy last night HONOR 8X worth of 949 Saudi Riyal

[ortinsuez]

Good review. Touches almost all critical parts.

[thomastaylor]

Well done! I love your reviews, they're always simple to understand and not fancy and tells you what you just need to know, well done! keep on going 8-)

After one year with honor 7x just got the 8x blue color. I think the best midrange phone.
