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.

Hey guys,
*This comparison is applicable for Indian version only as price may not be competitive enough for other regions.
Priced @ 12999 INR for 3GB+32GB, 15999 INR for 4GB+64GB
Honor 6X just launched in India today, in an event held at Taj palace, New Delhi and the most exciting thing about the launch was the pricing.

Now, as the title goes for this article about Honor 6X- A real upgrade to predecessor Honor 5X, in this article, I will tear down the factors which makes the Honor 6X a real upgrade to its predecessor based on some key features and hardware upgrade. For some background, Honor 5X was launched last year, around the same time, and was a mid-budget flagship phone. Now with the launch of Honor 6X today, with the same price tag of Honor 5X, Honor 6X has really got some key upgrades.
Instead of writing couple of paragraphs here, I will quickly compare the key factors in below table which will give a clearer picture of the comparison and lets you decide if 6X is an upgrade to Honor 5X.
*all the highlighted things are really an upgrade here.
Let’s consider only base Honor 6X variant, based on the above table we can clearly make our decision and can decide for sure if Honor 6X is a real upgrade to Honor 5X with some key factors like up-gradable to Nougat with EMUI 5.0 vs the Marshmallow with EMUI 4.1, 3GB vs 2GB RAM, 32 GB internal memory vs the 16 GB internal memory, improved 16nm architecture vs the traditional SD 616 processor, increased 2.1 GHz and 1.7 GHz processor speed vs the 1.5GHz and 1.2 GHz respectively, 3340 mAh battery vs 3000 mAh battery, dual rear camera with improved 8 MP front camera vs the single 13 MP camera with 5 MP front camera, additional 2.5 D glass design vs a regular design and out of the box VOLTE and OTG support. Only thing that is missing here is the dedicated SD card slot from Honor 5X which gives you the luxury of expanding the external memory with dual sim support but thats not a shows stopper here as 32 GB internal memory will fill the gaps.
There are many other aspects to compare which can definitely get the Honor 6X a real win win situation here over Honor last years mid budget flagship Honor 5X but that’s how the smartphone technology evolves year on year.
Please post your thoughts on the same in the comment section below.
You left the features which Honor 6X didn have but 5X has it.
1. Dual Tone Flash
2. Exclusive Dual SIM and SD card slot
Especially because of the 2nd missing feature, Honor is going to loose many customers.

Mentioned about the dual sim.
For dual tone, not much difference as camera is much improved here.
The AGM X1 is one of the latest smartphones to be released from AGM and if the recent information is correct, it is about to be joined by two new X-series variants. These are the AGM X2 and the AGM X2 Pro. Generally speaking, both smartphones do seem poised to be high-end smartphones and are generally alike in a number of departments. Although based on the current details, the Pro version is looking to offer an even more premium experience, thanks to the inclusion of better battery life and a greater degree of RAM and internal storage.
According to the information coming through, the AGM X2 and Z2 Pro come equipped with a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED display, along with an FHD resolution. Inside is where you will find the most notably differences between the AGM X2 and the X2 Pro – as the AGM X2 will come equipped with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage, while the Pro version is said to come packing 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. Both versions are said to come powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800-series processor, although which specific 800 processors have yet to be confirmed. In terms of the cameras, the AGM X2 and the X2 Pro are said to make use of a dual rear camera setup which comprises of two 16-megapixel rear cameras and this is in addition to a 13-megapixel front-facing camera. Battery capacity is another defining difference between the two variants, with the AGM X2 expected to come boasting a 6,000 mAh battery and the X2 Pro version coming loaded with a 10,000 mAh battery. Additionally, both variants are expected to come running on Android 7.0 (Nougat) out of the box.
Unfortunately, details on the exact availability or pricing have yet to be confirmed for either the AGM X2 or the AGM X2 Pro. Although. It is being reported that the AGM X2 is likely to make its debut at MWC 2017 in Barcelona next month.

And then what? Have another phone which won't have custom roms or drivers or kernel sources? I bought an AGM A8 a couple of months ago and now it is nothing but an expensive paper-weight due to the manufacturer not releasing any sources or drivers for this piece of crap. AGM is even worse than others like Oukitel or Doogee, and that's saying a lot.
@jadephyre they released source code for X1: http://www.agmmobile.com/en/news/AGM-X1-released-source-code and i think there is two custom ROM for A8 LOS 14.1 and RR: http://www.gizchina.com/2017/04/14/agm-custom-roms-remix-os-agm-a8/ http://www.agmmobile.com/en/news/now-AGM-A8-gets-Lineage-OS

I know about these ROMs, and they were never updated to include security patches and features in more recent versions of Lineage and RR. THAT is why I want the source-code for the phone.
At the moment it is just lying around, catching dust, being a rather expensive paper-weight.
Last time I ever buy a ****ty china-phone...
root?
how to root the AGM X2?
On September 5th, Honor announced the Honor 8X in an event held in China. One of the highlighted features of the new mid-range phone was the 91% screen-to-body ratio. This gives the phone minimal bezels and an impressively small chin at the bottom of the phone. The Honor CEO talked a little bit about what technology they used to achieve this result.
The 8X with its 6.5’ IPS display feels the same as a 5.5’ display when you hold it. Comparing with competitors, the Honor 8X wins out obviously with its 4.25mm chin, which is due to the flagship COF technology

-George Zhao (Honor CEO)
We got to hear a little bit about COF and how that allows the phone to have a much smaller chin. COF stands for “Chip on Film” and replaces the traditional COG (Chip on Glass) method. Compared to COG technology, COF reduces the bottom border of the device by 1-2mm. This technology does make the manufacturing process more difficult, which is why you don’t see it on many phones.

This graphic shows how the COF can wrap the FPC chip around to the back of the display. This removes the chip from where it would normally sit, which is right at the chin of the phone. This is why Honor can have such a slim frame on the upcoming 8X.
COF technology is not new, rather it’s usually found only in flagship devices. Honor implements COF into the Honor 8X which is a budget phone. The phone will be sold for around $200 once it’s available in the US.
Honor has been dominating the budget category of the smartphone industry. The previous Honor 7X model was the most popular unlocked phone on Amazon throughout the holidays.
We look forward to getting our hands on the Honor 8X and seeing all the different ways this phone is bringing flagship features to a super affordable device.

More or less all android phones during the past year have used 20:9. For me, who do not like super tall phones it is nice that Samsung chose a slightly wider aspect ratio on this phone (same as iphone). Most tech sites (including gsm-arena list the wrong aspect ratio 20:9, 2400x1080).
Am I the only one who note the 19.5:9 aspect ratio?
Almost all tech sites claim 20:9 and 1080x2400. I have asked several people who own S21 FE to check and they all confirm 1080x2340.
GSM-arena still show 20:9;

Yesterday I was at the local store and grabbed all phones to have a feel about this. I also like wide phones. My current phone, the Mate 10, is 78mm wide! Fantastic! (16:9 screen, like the LG G4 I had before).
Have long waited for something to suit me. But now this S21 FE is not bad at all. In fact, considering the weight and spec I think it looked so good so I ordered one
Did a table here with body ratios in case someone are interested. I think the Iphones have good ratio but they have one big problem, they are Iphones.

You're not alone. I'm not a fan of a tall, skinny phone.

Ha, we must be related. Ordered an FE just for this reason. Coming from a Mate 10 Pro, and before that an LG G4.

as per my information, Doogee S96 GT has the same design as the Doogee S96 pro with improvements in its memory, chipset, selfie camera, and OS. Talking about the appearance, the S96 GT will have a special limited edition yellow gold variant.
Improvements:
Talking of improvements, the new S96 GT will use the MediaTek Helio G95 chipset with improvements over the Helio G90 the S96 Pro used. With this chipset, this newer model will be faster, smoother, and more reliable. The base storage also saw a sizable increment from 128GB in the Pro model to 256GB in the newer S96 GT model. Even better, the S96 GT has an SD card slot that will allow you to expand up to 1TB.
Doogee S96 Pro was the first device to launch with a night vision camera. The S96 GT will also carry this feature but with a new improved capability to capture anything within a 15m range.
Another area the S96 GT improves over the S96 Pro is with the selfie camera. The newer model sports a 32MP selfie clicker instead of a 16MP front camera on the older model. Also, the new Doogee S96 GT will run the latest Android 12 OS out of the box.
As mentioned earlier, the company kept many things the same in the newer model. This includes the 6.22” display with Corning Gorilla Glass protection, the 6320mAh battery, and the 48MP + 20MP + 8MP camera setup on the back.

Other similarities are IP68 and IP69K ratings which makes both the S96 Pro and S96 GT water-resistant. They are also MIL-STD-810H certified which means they are usable in extreme weather without any problem. Doogee S96 GT will also run Android 12 out of the box instead of the Android 10 the Pro model ship with.
Stay Tuned for further updates and developments
