Honor X8c 4G

Design            

Man, at just 7.6mm and 175g, this thing is basically on a diet. The back’s got that shiny, glassy look—actually kinda fancy for a budget phone. That Emerald Green? Pops in the sunlight. Sure, it’s plastic around the edges, so don’t drop it and expect magic, but for the price, it looks way pricier than it really is.

Display 

You get a 6.7-inch LCD with 90Hz—big and smooth. Not AMOLED, so colors don’t slap as hard, but for TikTok, Insta, YouTube, whatever, it’s more than decent. Brightness tops out at 800 nits, so you can actually see stuff outside—unless you’re standing on the sun or something. Gaming and scrolling feel snappy, especially for less demanding games.

Cameras  

Main cam’s 64MP and holds up well in daylight—crisp and clear. The 5MP ultrawide is fun for group shots or landscapes, but edges get a bit fuzzy. The 2MP macro? Eh, more of a “nice to have” than a daily driver. Selfies on the 16MP front cam turn out pretty natural, especially in good light. At night, though, things get noisy—not shocking for a phone at this price.

Battery & Charging 

4,500mAh battery easily covers a day with social scrolling, some gaming, and Netflix binges. 35W charging isn’t going to blow your mind, but you’ll get to 50% in about half an hour—good enough if you remember to plug it in before you crash at night.

Software Vibes 

MagicOS 8.0 (on Android 14) is simple and snappy. No weird lag or bloatware cluttering things up. You get useful extras like split-screen multitasking, App Lock, and some smart photo sorting. Two years of updates—pretty fair for a budget phone.
