Honor 8X near lauching, is it worth to wait? - Honor 7X Questions & Answers

I want to buy a phone to my mom as her birthday gift at the end of October and my budget is around $250. Today I found a news on Gsmarena that Honor 8X would launch on September 5 in China. The leaked key specs quite touched me, considering the price of Honor X series phone (6X, 7X) was around my budget, I am thinking it may be a choice.
The specs was leaked as follow
- display with an 18.7:9 aspect ratio
- Screen To Body Ratio may up to 90%
- Waterdrop notch
- Kirin 710
- 18W quick charging
- color options are three - Blue, Black, and Red
- 3.5 mm audio jack
My cousin has a Honor 7X and please with it, but I still want to hear some suggestion, It is worth to wait or purchase comparing it to the latest Oppo OnePlus?

It all comes down to the price, if it was me i would buy it for 50-70 buck more than the regular 7x. Well actually only if there is a way to unlock the bootloader otherwise i wouldn't since all those great "specs" could easily mean nothing if im stuck to EMUI configurations.
Edit: Well l guess your mom wouldn't care custom roms and stuff like that anyway haha. If so i would also look into motorolas, they might have slighly worse camera and specs but Ive heard they are very responsive, with a cleaner OS and supported for a longer time (updates wise).

It seems great for the price, but I'm straying far away from Huawei phones now, since they decided to be assholes to the development community.

I searched Honor 8X for more information and then saw these promo images leaked. It seems that Honor use all the advanced specs on it, although couldn't be confirmed now.

You can follow some articles or reviews (there should be a lot of reviews after Sep 5th) and then make the decision

Huawei has one of the best AI's. Got a chance to check someone p20 lite and the camera is really good with multiple options. I heard that Huawei and Honor shared same technology as Honor is Huawei's subsidiary. I guess Honor would use AI function on this new phone.
---------- Post added at 01:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:18 PM ----------
BTW, comparing to Xiaomi A2, Redmi Note 5 and Honor 9 lite at the price around $250, their screen to body ratio are just more than 70% , I quite doubt 8X's will be up to 90%.

Now From the official article you can see this, but I guess the $89 is not include the sihpping fees
UMi Rome Is A $89 Smartphone With MT6753 & 3GB of RAM
UMi is known for making value for money smartphones and this is evident from its recent releases like the UMi Iron Pro and the UMi Hammer S. Now, the company is going to take things to a whole new level with its brand new device, called as the UMi Rome. This latest release from the company will bring the best specifications that we have seen on a phone under $100.
The UMi Rome will feature the fast MT6753 octa-core chip clocked at 1.3GHz. This is the same chip that powers most other mid-range flagships in the market under $200. Along with the powerful processor, the company has included 3GB of RAM. Yes, you heard it right! The phone will indeed feature 3GB of RAM with 16GB of internal storage to make sure that you no longer have to settle for slow smartphones at a budget price.
As for the display, the UMi Rome will feature a large 5.5-inch screen with 1280 x 720p resolution. With this display, you are sure to enjoy watching movies and playing games on the device. At the back, there will be a 13MP Sony IMX164 sensor with dual LED flash. What makes the UMi Rome even more interesting is the presence of an LED flash up front aiding its 2MP shooter. It will surely attract a lot of selfie lovers to this device.
The phone is also pretty compact, measuring just 7.9mm in thickness. Inside this body, you get a 2500mah battery that's large enough to last an entire day. Finally, the Rome will run on the Android 5.1 Lollipop OS.
As you can see, these are great specs for a phone that costs just $89.99. In fact, this budget device can take on the so called flagships like Cubot X15 and Ulefone Paris in a number of areas.

oh, i am so sorry to hear that, it is said it will not need to invite in some stores. you can inquire others.
Right now i have read the news about Oneplus 3 possible specs from the Oneplus fans. According to the meeting with Oneplus fans in India, Pete Lau expressed that they will let the fans say what’s the ideal hardware it will be about Oneplus 3.
During the talk Pete offered the phone with either RAM 4GB and 128GB rom or 6GB RAM, 64GB rom,
Possible OP3 specifications;
Full HD AMOLED screen
Thinner phone size
HDMI connectivity
128 GB internal memory
A 16-megapixel camera
24-hour battery life on full charge
Curved screen like in Samsung Galaxy S6
Stereo speakers in front
Near field communication (NFC)
It’s said Oneplus 3 will be released in July. I hope most of specs are right, especially ROM 128GB. So what do you think of these specs? Will it come with these kind of specs?
they will be happy their fans?
i don't know... i think the specs will be change
seen the same specs appear here:
Mod Edit by @Darth : Selling site link removed. Spam not welcome here thanks! Last chance member.
so i guess it will probably be the final specs. sounds very good. hope the pricing will be low

The invitation system is past.
After some test OnePlus 3 is a big surprise. Finally a high-end phone with a snapdragon and 6GB of RAM. No worries screen calibration.
Some site speaks yellow problem, but its failure would be a qualibrage. I greatly recommend this smartphone
A camera very powerful, despite the limited functionality available currently.
The fingerprint sensor is very responsive compared to competitor phone.
I've had word from oneplus that you need to have the dash charge charger for that feature to work, but they never said whether you need the dash charge cable or not (is it just a standard type-c cable?)
Anyone got any info yet?

Let's hope that also the software will be good as well. I'll let you know when I receive it.
Looking forward to seeing any reviews on this phone. From what I understand, Ulefone seems to be on par with Xiaomi in customer satisfaction.
Ihave a couple of questions to get the discussion started:
Can we expect CM13 getting support for Ulefone Future?
What are Ulefone's stance on unlocking the bootloader, will it break the warranty?
Will this phone come with Google apps or will it be lacking those, just like other chinese models?

I currently have an Xperia Z3 for past 18 months. Upgrade with my current provider is costing me €250 to get a Z5.....So I'm keeping an eye out for decent Chinese android phones. This looks interesting and seems to have better specs than the Z3 and Z5,apart from camera. Would this Ulefone Future be a decent upgrade from my Z3?

It probably means that GearBest doesn't have anymore units with the gift package. Every shop works in a different way, take a look at other shops.
This video by Ulefone seems pretty promising.
I just hope that its software will be better optimized because on the Vienna it isn't...
Recharge and Drainage Test​
Ulefone Future has a 3000mAh battery, enough to get a thick flagship device. The 9V/2~3A fast charger that will come in the package is said to fill up the battery in 1 hour, so this can be considered as a compensation to the low battery capacity.
In a latest battery test, Ulefone staff managed to charge the Ulefone Future from 21% to 76% in half an hour with the phone turned on, indicating that a singe charge takes less than 1 hour. Online HD video playback for 30 minutes drained the battery from 100% to 91%. If this reflects real-life conditions, a one-day of normal usage should be covered without issues.
In addition, the Ulefone Future will share the same Pump Express Plus charger that the Ulefone Power has. Also, Ulefone claims that the Future Sony li-polymer battery inside. It seems promising for now.
Ulefone's Blog article: http://blog.ulefone.com/ulefone-fut...test-battery-life-is-not-to-be-worried-about/
Ulefone has just announced on their official blog today that they will begin to ship the Ulefone Future from May 25, after the pre-sale period.
They have already been producing the bezel-less device but they still need 2 weeks to fulfill all the preorders, probably too much than expected, so that all is ready for the 25th of May.
This is the most expensive device that Ulefone has ever made, but the company promise that it will also be the best phone under $300 because this device has some flagship characteristics that other device offered at the same price don't have. Of course we aren't not talking about the CPU (that can't be considered super-performant), but the bezel-less display and other specs.

Honor 8X Vs. 7X

Honor 8X Vs. 7X

I got the Honor 7X when it came out in 2017 and was lucky enough to get the 8X after its recent release. While the Honor 8X is a great phone, there has been a bit of price increase since the 7X. There's also the issue with the 8X not even being available in the U.S., and I'm not sure if there are plans to even release this phone here. But putting all that aside, I'll let you know how the phones compare to each other.
Honor 8X
6.5" 1080x2340p
Kirin 710
4/6GB RAM
64/128GB Storage
20+2MP Main Camera
16MP Selfie Camera
3750mAh Battery
Honor 7X
5.93" 1080x2160p
Kirin 659
3/4GB RAM
32/64GB Storage
16+2MP Main Camera
8MP Selfie Camera
3340mAh Battery
Display
The Honor 8X has a really impressive display. The 91% screen-to-body ratio means the phones stays about the same size, but the 8X has a significantly bigger display. As far as quality goes, the phones are on par with each other. But that extra screen space is definitely worth the upgrade. It's also worth mentioning that the 8X has a notched display and a much taller 19.5:9 ratio.
Performance
The 7X wasn't a beast when it came to 3D gaming. But then again, it was still one of the best phones in that price range. The Honor 8X has a Kirin 710, up to 6GB of RAM, and a Mali-G51 MP4. These improvements mean performance has had a big bump. Games like PUBG run flawlessly and performance overall is much better.
Camera
I have done camera reviews for both of these phones, and the Honor 8X is significantly better. The AI camera system is now implemented into the Honor X series, making its first appearance on the 8X. Some of the features that have been added in the 8X are Slow-mo, AI Mode, Night Mode, Portrait Mode and AR Lens.
Build Quality
Now I'm a big fan of metal unibody designs. So the 7X has a design that I really like. That being said, the 8X has the glass back aurora-style design from the Honor flagship phones. Both of these designs are solid and it will just come down to your personal preference. I really like the way that the Honor 8X looks, but like the solid and durable feel of the 7X a little better. Both phones look better in the brighter color variants.
Is there so little people using the Honor 8x?
I mean, there are phone releases by other manufacturers in the same month of October but I'm pretty sure that the price point of the Honor 8x is appealing.
With Honor also churning out more phones, its hard to make up my mind on which model to get.

I don't think there are little people using it but a lot of people on XDA want phones that are open for development (which Honor is no longer).
If you don't care about custom ROMs, I think the 8X is a good deal.

General Xiaomi 11 Ultra, holycrap, OnePlus why so much fail?

After seeing Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, I'm floored by how much OnePlus has descended into disappointment with the 9 series. I'm thinking of returning my 9 for Ultra, seen what Xiaomi is offering for the same price of a Pro, is just incredible. Hell I'm questioning why I'm continuing to support OnePlus when I see how much Samsung is valuing the mid-tier and how much Oppo and Xiaomi are stepping up with their flagships. OnePlus seems to being completely lazy and disappointing in both price categories.
IRONICALLY THE Xiomi 11 Ultra photos look more natural color and definitely has more detail.
Wide, OP9 has slightest edge
Telefoto? 11 absolute OP9 destruction, annihilated.
Selfie? Best camera (11 has rear screen to use rear camera) vs the worst selfie camera? I mean really, I think OP9/Pro have the worst front camera among all their competitors.
Night photos? Xiaomi win again
Screen? Seems to be best right now with 1700 nit brightness Dolby VIsion support. The 9 Pro screen is gimmick.
Better materials. Gorilla Glass Victus, Ceramic etc.
So far Xiaomi 11 doesn't overheat taking photos.
OnePlus seems they think they are on easy street and don't have to try any more. Even though Samsung is constantly innovating, OnePlus isn't even doing the minimum right. Man I want the OnePlus from the 3T and 6T series back again.
They clearly can't play with the big boys in the flagship game. Just give it up and do better in the mid tier, cause it seems they are failing there too. Just unnecessarily gimping their mid tier to boost their flagship which really isn't flagship, it's really mid-tier with flagship price. 8 Pro seemed to me the same thing, mid-tier phone with overhyped flagship price.
Totally agree with you. Mi 11 ultra is better option than 9 pro

Definitely disagree here based on reading online, but since I can't hold the phone to confirm, I will never truly know. I think both are great phones though. Not a fan of the Mi 11 OS either.
Been using mi 10 ultra for 6 months (just switched to 9pro few days). I can confirm mi 10 ultra took better photos than onepus 9 pro, so I believed mi 11 ultra can also do a better job. The only reason I don't want to buy mi 11 ultra cause of shape, IT SO ****ING BIG. Hope oneplus may improve after some updates, if not, i'll return to xiaomi

9 Pro will have better dev support which is a must for the hot chip (SD888). And according to reviews. 9 Pro takes better pictures. 11 Ultra gets hot fast especially in the huge camera bump area then drops brightness forcefully to 50%. China software is bloated, MIUI is catroon-ish and iOS copycat. Secondary display is a useless gimmick. 9 pro takes better pictures from main sensor and ultra wide (imx766) is better that the older imx5xx in the 11 ultra. 11 ultra is only better in telephoto but Samsung S21 Ultra is even better (10X vs 5X) 11 Ultra is just overrated, overhyped and overpriced phone and it's a downgrade from the Mi 10 Ultra (slower charging, worse telephoto and overheating). 9 Pro also has a better and more advanced LPTO panel. Picture quality from the overhyped and oversized Samsung GN2 sensor are disappointing (Samsung are known to oversize things like exynos chips for example). Samsung sensor isn't a match for Sony sensors and bigger sensor doesn't necessarily mean better picture quality. I might get an 11 Ultra if it gets AOSP or lineage os and a good custom kernel but that probably never going to happen.
How many topics will there be about O+ becoming bad Vs Samsung Vs Xiaomi etcetc.
We are on a dedicated subchannel that deals with O+ devices, and especially 9 Pro here.
Isn't it possible to concentrate every posts about this on a dedicated posts where guys can trash on it without creating so many new topic ?? How many of users here already created topic about that subject
I'm just attacking anyone here, but a new O+ user, I'm just fed up with those comparisons. I never would have the idea to go in another brand subtopics and creating a post just to criticize ...
Mi11 ultra is about the numbers. Sounds Good, but in real life... Not so much.
The price is Huge! The phone is heavy. The camera is not the best. 120x zoom is BS.
It does Not charge faster than OnePlus 9 Pro (kind of the best in charging. Wired & wireless).
Mi11 gets hot. The updates are alot slower than Op. You get open beta once a month in Xiaomi? And Stable rom once at two monts.
Other Horrible thing about Xiaomi. One price for China (Good price) and for Europa/America the price Grows Big. I mean Big!
And about how bad is the camera on OnePlus. You can find youtube videos with comparision. I watch one with Op 9pro - S21 Ultra - Iphone 12 max. Op got 8 points, s21 9 points, iphone 9 points. How is that Soo Bad ?!?
The Haselblad partnership just began & is just software for now.
Maybe Op 10 will have Haselblad lens.
Oxygen OS is known to be one of the clean-best Android os.
