Honor X8

Strengths

Overall it's a really great phone, the everyday use for the phone is great, really smooth magic ui isn't too clunky.
It has a pretty decent performance, with only a couple of apps that needed to be deleted just because I think games or something.
The camera on the front side is a big improvement in terms of photo quality and weirdly enough I did actually find that I preferred some of the selfies that I took using the selfie camera than selfies that I took using the main camera of this phone.
The everyday use for the phone is great, really smooth magic ui isn't too clunky, there was only a couple of apps that I had to delete just because I think games I think it was that I just I'm never going to use so I just got rid of those.
It's a good phone for home movies taking videos of the kids or your pets or anything like that.

Weaknesses

The camera on the Honor X8 is not as good as the majority of the other budget devices that I've used now for considerably less money you can get the Realme C35.
The ultra-wide sensor on the phone just isn't that great, it's got a very low resolution and a narrow f 2.2 aperture so it doesn't let in as much light there's not anywhere near as much detail as what you'll find on the main sensor.
You have to dig into the camera settings to find HDR mode which is was a bit annoying to me because it is nice to just have that on the camera ready to go when you need it.
The video recording tops out at 1080p at 30fps, which is just box standard budget quality video like what I found with the X7 and even a lot of the Motorola phones that I've used.
The price of Honor X8 is near 200 quid while Realme C35 is considerably cheaper about 150 quid.
