The camera that did make a significant change is that of selfies, which increases the pixelation to 50 MP. It is now possible to capture higher resolution photos and will also help in taking photos in low light situations.
In addition, the Honor X8b ensures that light is not a problem in your selfies, since it is one of the few cell phones that has a front LED light to illuminate you when you take a photo.
The battery remains at 4,500 mAh, but the charging improves slightly to 35W so that it is faster and you don’t have to stay connected for as long.
This version improves its processor a little. It now includes a Snapdragon 680, a 6nm processor that can help battery performance, and 8GB of RAM that you can virtually expand up to 16GB for better multitasking performance.
Although this combination of performance is sufficient for the range of this equipment, unfortunately, this model does not have a connection to 5G networks and remains only in 4G.
