Multitasking/RAM - Honor 8X Real Life Review

You're busy and don't have time to wait, which is why you need to stop reading this thread and get back to organizing your Pogs. Rate this thread to express how the Honor 8X performs when multitasking. A higher rating indicates that the Honor 8X keeps many apps in memory so that they don't need to reload, and that when moving between apps, transitions are smooth and performance is excellent.

can easily switch between applications. but yes, EMUI kills app in background like FB, twitter though not a big deal for me

No. Honor 8X is good choice. Don't mind those social media applications are closing. Not a big deal

Honor 8x is great at holding many apps in background (10 apps and more with 2 games...it may hold more because 2,5 GB were still available) but you have to disable one setting called App launch under the Battery settings.

I don't really dislike Redmi note 6 pro but I have handled that device and I feel Honor 8x is better. Purely for software point of view, EMUI felt more natural and matured than MIUI. On 8.2, I haven't came across any issue that I felt like reporting whereas in MIUI there are such issues that you won't even know how to explain it properly and it goes months within any fix.

Redmi Note 6Pro is not that bad.

If you see Redmi Note 6Pro has Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 Chipset and Honor 8X has HiSilicon Kirin 710 Chipset, where Honor 8X has Mali-G51 MP4 Graphics and Redmi Note 6 Pro has Adreno 509. Rest all are mostly the same or similar.

As I have used miui extensively I can tell that EMUI is a more differentiating factor for me.

Honor 8 pro FASTER than OnePlus 5?

The processor Kirin 960 doesn't outperform Snapdragon 835 in benchmarks but who cares about benchmarks in 2017 the real life performance of Honor 8 pro seems to be just smooth even while gaming and other stuff and their is a plus point that the Kirin 960 processor doesn't seem to get overheated while playing heavy games unlike Snapdragon 835 in OnePlus 5 so I'd feel to opt or prefer the underrated Honor 8 pro or Honor 6X or Honor 9 against OnePlus 5 considering the price that Honor Phones are available!
If you get your hands on honor 8 pro, please tell us how it compares against OP5
People still care about benchmarks in 2017. Wow.

Honor 8 pro is no slouch in terms of performance. It's a real flagship in performance. You can keep 20 or maybe more apps open at the same time. I have tried with 10 and none of the apps closed abruptly.
Apps open quick.

Just C4ETECH speed test between honor 8 pro and OP5, you'll see they're too close.

This is why benchmarks are becoming pointless. Every 2017 flagship performs like this. Thoughts @joe2k01?

And I don't even understand those speed tests comparing two smart phones together. I mean who is gonna compare them in real life. No one uses a stopwatch to calculate the time.
People get mad if one phone manages to open some app 2 seconds earlier and crown it as the king. Come on.[emoji23]

All the flagships these days open apps fast enough, for me, the only criteria for choosing a smartphone would be how good the development is for it

I was a rom freak. I loved customising my phone a lot with all the features. I am using a custom skin for the first time and I am absolutely not missing any feature from custom rom (except maybe double tap to sleep and wake).
And so, I am not feeling the need to root this device. The performance out of the box is exceptional.

I completely disagree with that.
Honor 8 pro has a bigger and higher resolution screen with higher body to screen ratio.
Homor 8 pro has better chipset with larger ram and internal storage.
Honor 8 pro has a better front facing camera.
The things that could have been upgraded are -
Rear camera - Both honor 8 and honor 8 pro have cameras with same aperture (f2.2). I would have liked the aperture to be atleast 2.0 on honor 8 pro.
Amoled screen - Maybe they could have used an amoled screen
Nothing else really. I am completely OK with my Honor 8 pro. Just want 8.0 upgrade by the end of year.

Coming here from the Redmi Note 4 forums, i would like to say that the back easily looks like an iphone X knockoff, The camera module could've looked way better and original if they would have placed it like mi a1, or if they could've changed the position to center. In short i am really let down, with the back panel looks. On the other hands, the Redmi Note 5 (Redmi 5 plus) looks far more better and has a signature styling to it. Hope that Xiaomi can fix it in the next iteration.

I think what he meant was it's a waste of space having the camera in the centre as it takes up space that could be better used for the battery.
How true that is I don't know though.

Mehh i still can't believe it. Ever popped open the back cover of redmi note 4? (Or have you ever watched a teardown video of redmi note 4) the large battery is easily tucked in the middle of the device. And the top part is occupied by the motherboard. I still don't get the point of that placement . Most of us Indians, and most the top notch indian tech YouTubers, are regarding it as an iPhone x knockoff. :crying:

I don't like how it looks either, its resemblance of the iPhone X is evident here, seems like they tried a change to make it look different from the regular Note 5 and they ended up copy-pasting the X.
The influence from Apple it is still there like it is on MIUI

i mean i still rock my redmi note 3 cause the note 4 was trash bought it flashed RR on it (same rom as my redmi note 3) it felt like trash a downgrade only upgrade was the FULL black color...
SO yeah i like the design of the redmi 5/5 plus. but still dont want a phone with low end s625 cpu. so yeah the redmi note 5 pro with s636 looks like a upgrade and the design is nice, like finger print on the back, 6" but yeah full 4g?? i will wait for that version... but the design looks nice. but still micro usb from what i seen.. no hate atleast i wont have to change cables but yeah USB C would been a smart move... and maybe dual speakers... (with earpiece)
which one is better? black or lake blue?
Always bet on black.
Lake blue is best
Sent from my Redmi Note 5 Pro using Tapatalk
Black is the best because when your screen is off you will feel like you have a bezzel less device
Hi guys!
What do you think about the white (+gold back) version?
The black version is perfect for me over upgrade to my Redmi Note 4, flahed RR on both.
The 1 major flaw to me is the white only LED notification Xiaomi chose to put on the Note 5 Pro. I didn't know and turned out as a surprise to me after I bought the phone.

Don't call it 'poor'
Even if I have 3000$ to spend on a phone, I would pick Redmi note 5 pro.
It's pointless to spend so much on phones for extra unused speed and camera.
I would buy the best DSLR & powerful PC/Laptop with the leftover money instead of spending on useless processing power in phones.
I would call it 'I phone X' for elite and people who demand freedom

After downloading several themes. The themes app is extremely slow.
It is much faster than Honor Note 10 (kriling 970) and than one has also 2GB RAM more, because i have EVR-L29 6GB model. The Kirin 980 is realy great!
Its much snappier than my note 8 samsung

When I compare my previous RN7 and this new RN8 pro, the speed is absolutely better on 8 pro.
You can notice the difference and its big.. phone is super fast.. battery is amazing..I get about 11SOT,and camera..
I am looking for some tutorials , because camera is unbelievable..
And have so many options..
Compared to my Mi MIX 2s there is no difference in speed / performance. Though I'm not a gamer.
Super fast
Super speedy
Very happy with speed. Noticeably quicker than note 7 and plays games with ease. Also haven't experienced any over heating.

Is the Redmi Note 8 Pro really good? Because I am planing to buy for my brother.
I've been testing just moved from a huawei y9 2019, it has way better memory management, and it is faster overall, just a couple of micro lags when intensive multitasking.

After a lot of time thinking i decided to buy this and now there might be a 730G version, i must wait now..
I'll bet it won't be as good. I run mine this morning on antutu benchmark 3d and I was in with 845 SD what they was doing. The SD 730 was very low on the benchmarks. Ill keep this there working on development and things are going to happen. Mediatek is releasing source codes so things are going to take off.

I keep reading about people having this phone stutter. I don't know what they're doing, but I have about 9 gigs taken by my Apps and it still manages to do everything blazingly fast.
The installation speed is also amazing, at least 2-3 times faster than my friend's galaxy S8 plus (which ,arguably, has same performance) and the latter has started to stutter.
Redmi Note 8 Pro is fast.
There is a brand called Honor, which is a sub-brand of Huawei. At present, Honor has a higher market share in mainland China than Redmi. For young people, Honor has developed and configured Huawei's high-end Mate series and P series functions, which are cost-effective. Currently there is only Redmi by XDA, so I think I need to share this good thing.

But why 2x?

and miui is laggy/very buggy

I tend to watch a lot of stuff on YT especially in this year, so 2x speed means I can watch twice as much for the same time. But why 60fps? - Because here and there I encounter these videos and that forces me to switch the video to 480p just to avoid the stutter.

Went with the 9 Pro and am happy with the experience so far. MIUI is ok so far, just not the cleanest ROM out there IMO. It gets the job done.

Same here, and another reason I regret is I bought the note 9 , 4/128 same price as the Note 9s 4/64. Could have enjoyed more roms and better performance.
