The Honor X8d joins them now, having quietly appeared on the website of a retailer in Kyrgyzstan. Despite the modest «premiere», there’s enough information to get a sense of what the device offers.
Honor X8d features a 6.77-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 × 2392. The Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 2 chipset is responsible for performance — and yes, that’s exactly what it’s called. Its full-fledged debut is expected next week.
The smartphone gets 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. There are no other variants listed, so it’s unclear whether memory expansion or additional modifications will be coming.
