The all-new HONOR X8b boasts several great enhancements compared to its predecessor, including upgrades to its camera, aesthetics, display, and internal hardware. These improvements offer consumers an affordable smartphone with an impressive array of spec-wised features.
While a full review of the phone is forthcoming, we’re excited to provide you with an exclusive first look at the new HONOR X8b.
Unboxing
As we inspect the box of the HONOR X8b, we find its packaging to be very simple, draped in an all-white color and made from a thick cardboard type material.
There’s an image of the X8b printed on the top cover and a HONOR logo that you can easily spot on the side of the box. A sticker is also placed on one side of the box with the IMEI, company info, certification marks, and a few specs about the unit printed on it.
As you open the box, the phone is the first thing you’ll see once you take out the top cover, underneath it is a compartment box that holds some of the included accessories.
Taking everything out of the box, you’ll receive the following items:
- HONOR X8b Unit
- Clear Protective Case
- SIM Ejector Tool
- USB-A to USB-C Cable
- Charger
- Quick Start Guide
- Screen Protector (Pre-Applied)
Sleek Design
We received the Glamorous Green color for our HONOR X8b review unit, and it looks fantastic!
The HONOR X8b uses a metal frame and a durable plastic rear cover panel that’s overlaid with a sleek leather texture, adding a premium touch to the phone’s overall aesthetics.
The bottom edge holds a microphone, a USB-C port, and speaker grille.
The top edge shows another single microphone.
On the right side edge are the volume rockers and the power/sleep button, which includes an integrated fingerprint scanner. Pressing the power button for 1 second grants access to the Google Assistant.
The left side houses the dual SIM card slot.

What’s new about this phone, in addition to the nice display housed on the front camera, is the introduction of another cutting-edge technology the HONOR Magic Capsule, now available on this model.

If you’re captivated by the phone’s camera, you’ll have no trouble capturing more photos and videos as the HONOR X8b has a large 512GB storage capacity. With that large internal storage capacity, you can also download more apps and files without any worries.
