A new report from WinFuture reveals Honor's plans to launch a mid-range handset for the global markets called Honor X8. The leak also suggests that the device is based on the Honor X30i, which is a smartphone launched back in November in China.
However, while the X30i supports 5G, the
X8 is rumored to skip that and be limited to 4G. That means it will feature a
different SoC, not the Dimensity 810 chipset that's powering the X30i. The leak
mentions an unnamed chipset with 4x Cortex-A73 cores running at 2.4GHz and 4x
Cortex-A53 cores running at 1.9GHz. The base storage option will offer 128GB
with no option for microSD card expansion.
The rest of the specs are allegedly the
same as on the X30i as will be the design. The handset will be available in
blue, silver and black with an expected price of around € 200. The source
believes that the Honor X8 get its announcement during this year's MWC in
Barcelona.
