Honor 8x is set to be announced in the Philippines on October 10. Sinking its toes deeper to the mid-range segment, the company will take on the likes of OPPO F9 , Pocophone F1 and Vivo V11 in this department. The handset will shade its fiercest competitors, though, with its 6.5-inch FHD+ display and its design that is reminiscent of its Huawei Nova cousins.

In the camera department, the Honor 8X will have a dual-rear module - a 20-megapixel and 2-megapixel sensors at that.

The Honor 8X will boot with Android 8.0 Oreo skinned with Huawei's EMUI 8.2. This 7.8-mm thin handset is powered by a capable 3750 mAh. We'll update you with the pricing and availability once it's released here in the country.
