Honor 8x

[slow_poke]

Firstly was a Nexus 4, cheapo as the Nexus 5 was just out.
Nextly was a WileyFox Swift 2.

Both good phones, good features and value for the price of them.

Now, it's time to change. I'm kinda thinking about the Honor 8x for the same reasons as the other two - good quality, good features, good price & value. Basic Android, nothing fancy.

Any flaws in my thinking? Anything I'm missing?

Got one a couple of months ago - replacing an ageing Samsung S7.

Honestly can't fault it!
Two day battery life (easily!) vs 12 hours for the S7.
Takes slightly longer to charge.
Camera just as good for occasional use.
Bigger screen is nice (not quite as bright as the AMOLED on the S7 but perfectly acceptable for everyday usage).
Not bothered by the lack of IP rating as I make a point of never getting my phones wet.
Never used the heartrate sensor on the S7 so don't miss that either.
Some differences in the OS which take some getting used to, but this is a minor niggle.

Overall - very happy and don't miss the S7 'premium-ness' at all.

Good man nelly. Positive confirmation bias is a very nice feeling!

I have an 8X too and I think it is brilliant, especially for £200. 4GB Ram, 64GB Storage, 6.5 inch screen and build quality is great as it has a metal frame and glass back. I had an S7 work phone when I first got it and it made the S7 feel tiny and old, although I will admit the Amoled screen of the S7 has more vibrant colours. It also comes with a screen protector already applied and there is a case in the box as well.

My work phone is now a Oneplus 6T and I haven't really jelled with it, I much prefer the 8X which considering the oneplus is a £500 phone surprised me.
