Honor is all set to launch its first smartphone, the Honor 8X with Kirin 710 chipset in India which is a major upgrade from the older Kirin 659 SoC found on a plethora of Honor devices launched in the last one year. The Honor 8X is a significant upgrade compared to the Honor 7X as it has a powerful processor, bigger display, better dual rear cameras and a beefy battery. Also, it sports a notched display, and it’s worth noting the Honor 8X is the best-looking smartphone under Rs 20,000, thanks to its glass sandwich design. Honor is known for launching well-designed smartphones, but it’s taking the trend to a whole new level with the Honor 8X. The smartphone will be launched at an event in New Delhi where all the availability and pricing details will be revealed by the company. Read on to know where to watch the live stream and the specifications of the handset before the launch event.

Honor 8X India Launch: Where to Watch the Live Stream?
The ‘X’ series smartphones have been trendsetters in the industry in the last couple of years. With the Honor 6X, the company made the dual cameras obvious in the mid-range segment, while with the Honor 7X, it brought the 18:9 display tech to the segment. So, there’s no doubt that Honor is excited to bring the 8X to the Indian market. While we’re present at the ground to bring all the live updates, you can watch the live stream below. The launch event is scheduled to start at 11:30 AM on October 18.
Honor 8X: Specifications and Features
As mentioned above, the Honor 8X is the best-looking smartphone under Rs 20,000. The phone sports a 6.5-inch Full HD+ display on the front which carries a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels and 19.5:9 aspect ratio, meaning it has a notch on top of the display. The phone also sports a glass back, but Honor did not mention any protection for the rear glass. At the heart of the phone, we get the HiSilicon Kirin 710 chipset, clubbed with up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. Honor may not bring the 6GB+128GB version of the 8X to India, but we could see the 4GB+64GB and 6GB+64GB versions making their debut in the sub-continent. That said, there’s a microSD card slot for storage expansion.
