The AMOLED panel produces rich colors, deep blacks, and strong contrast, making videos and photos look more vibrant. The 120Hz refresh rate also provides smoother scrolling, animations, and supported games compared with a standard 60Hz display.

The high brightness levels can help improve outdoor visibility, while 3840Hz PWM dimming is designed to reduce noticeable screen flickering at lower brightness levels.

The Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 2 is suitable for everyday applications, browsing, social media, video streaming, and light gaming. It can handle normal multitasking, although it is not designed for demanding gaming or heavy applications.

The phone is a better fit for users who prioritize its display, camera, battery, and everyday features rather than high-end gaming performance.

The 5MP ultrawide camera is useful for capturing landscapes, buildings, and group photos when you need a wider view. However, it has lower resolution than the main camera, so its image quality may not match the primary sensor.

The listed drop resistance also provides an additional durability feature, although using a protective case is still recommended.

User Reviews

Users looking for a smartphone with a large AMOLED display, long battery life, and a high-resolution main camera may find the Honor X8d appealing. Its 120Hz display, 108MP OIS camera, 7000mAh battery, 45W charging, stereo speakers, and expandable storage make it suitable for everyday photography, entertainment, browsing, and communication.

However, the lack of 5G, entry-level gaming performance, 5MP ultrawide camera, and limited video recording options are important points to consider. Buyers who want stronger gaming performance or more advanced camera features should compare other phones in the same price range before making a decision.

Things to Check Before Buying

1. Examine the Phone After Opening the Box

Carefully inspect the device before completing the purchase.

• Check the 6.77-inch AMOLED display for scratches, dead pixels, green lines, burn-in, or touch problems.

• Confirm that the 120Hz refresh rate works correctly.

• Test the display brightness and check its visibility outdoors.

• Inspect the glass front, plastic frame, and back panel for cracks, dents, scratches, or signs of previous use.

• Test the 108MP main camera and confirm autofocus and OIS are working properly.

• Test the 5MP ultrawide camera and compare its image quality with the main camera.

• Test the LED flash, HDR, and video recording.

• Check the 16MP selfie camera and record a short video.

• Test the side-mounted fingerprint sensor several times.

• Check the stereo speakers for distortion or unusual sound.

• Test the microphone, vibration, and USB Type-C port.

• Insert both SIM cards and test calls and 4G mobile data.

• Test Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and NFC if supported by the regional version.

• Insert a microSD card and confirm that the phone detects it correctly.

• Test the charger and make sure the phone charges properly.

2. Verify the IMEI Yourself

Never rely only on the seller's claim that the phone is PTA approved.

• Dial *#06# to display the phone's IMEI number.

• Check the IMEI under Settings > About Phone.

• Match the IMEI shown on the phone with the number printed on the box and invoice.

• Verify the device's PTA/DIRBS status through the official verification system.

• You can also check the IMEI through the PTA's official SMS verification service by sending it to 8484.

• Insert your SIM and make a test call.

• Test 4G mobile data before completing the purchase.

• If buying an imported unit, confirm that its supported network bands are compatible with your mobile operator.

Do not depend only on a seller's statement or a screenshot of PTA approval. Verify the IMEI of the actual phone you are purchasing.

3. Confirm All Accessories Are Present

Check the box and included accessories before leaving the shop.

• Original or compatible charger

• USB Type-C cable

• SIM ejector tool

• User documents

• Warranty information

• Any included protective case or other accessories

Confirm that the charger supports the phone's 45W fast charging capability. Test the charger and cable before completing the purchase, and check the USB Type-C port for dust, looseness, or physical damage.

4. Check the Warranty Card and Invoice

Make sure you understand the warranty terms before purchasing.

• Check the warranty card and its validity.

• Confirm that the invoice includes the phone model, IMEI, purchase date, and seller details.

• Make sure the IMEI matches the phone and box.

• Ask whether the phone has official Honor Pakistan warranty or retailer/importer warranty.

• Keep the original invoice and warranty documents safe.

• For imported units, confirm where warranty service will be provided.

• Make sure the invoice lists the correct 8GB + 256GB variant.

• For used or open-box phones, ask whether the phone has ever been repaired or opened.

• Compare current local listings for the same variant before setting your asking price.

Alternatives in the Same Budget
