From a design perspective, HONOR View20 breaks the mould of traditional flagship smartphones in both dimension and style. It is the first smartphone to use advanced nanolithography technology to develop an invisible nano texture on the body. The fourth generation of nano-vacuum coating and invisible aurora texture process create a vivid and dynamic V-shape color gradient with

TUV Rheinland is basically a technical service provider that was founded in 1872 and is headquartered in Cologne, Germany. They started as a regional testing organisation but in course of time they became one of the authorities in global certification. Many of the biggest brands of the world flaunt it with pride if any of their product earns a TUV Rheinland certificate. As you can guess easily, Honor has also got not one but two TUV Rheinland certifications for two different products – Honor 8X and Honor 8C. Both the devices have got TUV Rheinland certifications for their displays which offer top notch eye comfort. Honor 8X and Honor 8C secured this enviable certification thanks to their outstanding blue light filter and photo biological safety. Having a flashy display is any day a welcome addition to any smartphone but your eyes are also precious, aren’t they?      

We all have by now seen Honor 8C in its full glory. I mean the look and feel of it. But I believe most of us have just seen photos of the device available on any form of media, be it offline or online. Said so, we all know things are pretty different when it comes to a studio production. Sometimes the real appearance of a product is masked by the controlled acoustics blocking a real life visual. So I thought of taking some photos of the Honor 8C that I got to experience for some time and share with you guys. All these images are without any filter and edits. So the colour of the device is exactly the same as you have seen in the above images. The display and resolution are also as clear in real as they are in the photos. Guys, this is a 11,999 INR device with a 4000 mAh battery, 13MP+2MP dual AI camera and Snapdragon 632 processor. Only thing left was the real life look. Hope this was helpful.

This is the third post on my series of Honor 8X vs Redmi Note 6 Pro. In my last post, I discussed in details the screen of both the devices. With better screen to body ratio and aspect ratio, Honor 8X won the battle fair and square. Today, let’s discuss their cameras. Times are here when a smartphone is often judged on its camera prowess. Better camera ensures the longevity of any smartphone. So Honor 8X packs a stunning 20MP+2 MP AI dual camera setup on the rear. Redmi Note 6 Pro also offers AI camera but it comes in 12MP+5MP setup. Mega Pixel battle won by Honor 8X. Now coming to AI functionality of both the cameras, Honor 8X’s AI is tad superior to what Note 6 Pro offers. The former’s AI helps better scene recognition and colour correction. Photos are not just memories anymore, they are also the extension of your persona. So let’s not take them for granted!
