Honor X8b

The Honor X8b is a decent smartphone that offers good performance, an average battery life, and a respectable display within its budget range. However, it falls short in terms of camera quality, particularly in low-light conditions. The device's camera sensors can capture acceptable images under good lighting conditions, but details are reserved and colors are often noisy. The Honor X8b's rear camera setup features a 50MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 2MP macro lens. Selfies taken with the 5MP front camera are passable, but tend to be softer than expected. While video recording at 1080p/30fps is available, details are often lacking, especially in poor lighting conditions. The Honor X8b runs on Magic OS 7.2 based on Android 13, which feels familiar to those who have used Huawei devices. The interface is clean and customizable, but some apps may experience performance issues or consume more battery life due to unnecessary animations and graphics. The device's 4,500mAh battery supports 35W fast charging, but its average battery life may not be enough for users who demand more power from their phone. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, and 4G LTE, although the 5G band is noticeably absent. Priced at 12,999 pesos, the Honor X8b is a decent option for those seeking an affordable smartphone with good performance and display quality. However, its subpar camera capabilities make it less appealing to users who prioritize this feature above all else.

Huawei nova Y71

The Huawei Nova Y71 is a budget-friendly smartphone designed for young consumers seeking a large screen, long-lasting battery, and decent camera capabilities. With a 6.75-inch HD+ display and a massive 6000mAh battery, this phone promises to deliver extended usage hours. However, its performance is compromised by an outdated Kirin 710A processor and a relatively low-resolution display. Additionally, the camera system, while functional, may not meet expectations in certain lighting conditions. This review aims to assess whether the Nova Y71's value lies in its price or its actual features.
