What makes Honor 8X superior to Redmi Note 6 Pro?

Honor 8X and Redmi Note 6 Pro are two of the most hyped smartphones of 2018. Both the devices are often pitched against each other for their uncanny similarities. To some extent, they are actually similar products; but a close look reveals that Honor 8X comes with several perks which differentiates both the devices.

Let’s explore what makes Honor 8X a superior smartphone:

Look and feel: So let’s start with the look and feel of both the devices. Honor 8X comes with 2.5 D glass design which lends it a very suave and posh touch. Redmi Note 6 Pro, on the other hand, comes in their usual metal casing. Tad too old fashioned and monotonous, I have to say.

Display: Honor 8X comes with a 6.5 inch FHD+ display; not to speak of the stunning notch design. Redmi Note 6 Pro also comes with a notch design but its display is tad smaller at 6.26 inch. But one thing I need to mention here. Honor 8X is the first smartphone to get a TUV Rheinlad Certification for eye comfort. TUV Rheinland is a worldwide testing and certification institution who has certified Honor 8X for its outstanding blue light filter and photo biological safety. It’s not just about how flashy the display looks but also about your eye care!

Screen: Honor 8X comes with 91% screen to body ratio with an aspect ratio of 19.5:9. Redmi Note 6 Pro, on the other hand, has 81% screen to body ratio with 19:9 aspect ratio. As you can see, Honor 8X offers more real estate on the screen as compared to Redmi Note 6 Pro. Moreover, Honor 8X has extremely narrow bezels and a stunningly thin chin!

Processor: The processor is often called the brain of a smartphone so it’s very important that we discuss it in detail. Honor 8X is powered by the latest Kirin 710 processor whereas Redmi Note 6 Pro comes with Snapdragon 636. Kirin 710 is based on a 12 nm manufacturing process which is better than the 14 nm manufacturing process of the Snapdragon 636. It helps save the battery and do multi-tasking.

Camera: Honor 8X flaunts a 20MP+2MP AI dual camera setup. Redmi Note 6 Pro comes with a 12MP+5MP AI dual camera. Both the devices have AI cameras but Honor 8X’s camera offers better colour quality and accurate scene recognition. Photos are not just memories anymore, they are also an extension of your persona. So let’s not take them for granted.  

Now let’s talk about two additional features that Honor 8X brings which is not even present in Redmi Note 6 Pro:

GPU Turbo: Honor 8X comes with the innovative GPU Turbo technology which makes sure that there is no battery heating, less battery consumption and no frame drops leading to a lag-free experience.

3 card slot: Honor 8X flaunts a 3-card slot helping you manage 2 SIM cards and 1 MicroSD card at the same time. On the other hand, Redmi Note 6 Pro comes with a hybrid dual SIM tray.
