Verdict

The Honor X8c (8GB + 256GB) is a durable mid-range smartphone released in early 2025, featuring a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and an impressive peak brightness of 2800 nits. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 685 (6nm) processor and runs Android 15 with MagicOS 9.0, supported by a 5,000mAh battery that allows for 35W fast charging. Its standout photography setup includes a 108MP main rear camera with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and a high-resolution 50MP selfie camera. Key advantages include its slim 7.1mm profile, IP64 splash resistance, and specialized SGS-certified 1.8m drop protection. However, notable drawbacks include the lack of 5G connectivity, the absence of a microSD card slot for expandable storage, no 4K video recording, and a single mono speaker configuration.
