Alleged Honor 8X spotted on China’s MIIT certification site

“The Honor 8X will come as a successor to Honor 7X that was launched last year”

Earlier today, Honor introduced its mid-range smartphone called the Honor Play (first impression) in India. The latest offering from the Chinese OEM that offers some top-of-the-line specs at a pretty aggressive price. Now, it looks like the company is gearing up to launch another affordable to mid-range device called the Honor 8X. The handset has been allegedly certified by the Chinese certification agency MIIT.

The agency’s site shows the Honor handset listed as JSN-AL00, which could be the model number for the Honor 8X. The listing doesn’t reveal any specifications of the upcoming Honor offering, apart from showing that the 8X phone will come with support for 4G LTE networks. Notably, the Honor 8X will succeed the Honor 7X (review) that debuted in India last year as one of the rare few smartphones with full view display and dual-cameras at an affordable price.

The Honor 8X’s specs are a mystery to us as of now, but we expect it to come with some upgraded specs from its predecessor. To recall, the Honor 7X was launched with 5.93-inch full HD+ 18:9 display and octa-core HiSilicon Kirin 659 SoC, mated with 4GB of RAM and up to 64GB expandable storage.

For photography, the 7X sports a dual 16MP + 2MP camera setup on the rear and an 8MP shooter on the front. It is fueled by a 3,340mAh battery and runs on Android Nougat-based EMUI out of the box. At present, the Honor 7X retails for a starting price of Rs 11,999 in India.
