I personally don't rely on GsmArena anymore. They don't have accurate information about phones. I watch unboxing and hands-on reviews on YouTube to get all I want.

Similarly, I've watched several video comparisons of both phones, and the 8x seems better marginally. Regarding software updates and all, Honor push constant updates on their phones too, safe for the inability to unlock bootloader.

But then, I haven't chosen the one to buy yet. grin grin
Definitely a tough one, the Honor is even cheaper currently, decision should be based on what one can live with/ without.

Is it possible for global Rom to be installed and bootloader locked?
If you buy the Global rom ( Chinese version with Global rom installed), your bootloader will come unlocked. Trying to lock the bootloader is where you might have issues of bricking.

True that, but individual usage differs.
Just saw a video now, and the included charger is not a quick charger, you'll need to get one if you need quick charging angry. On the plus side, Gsmarena and some of their wrong info, phone actually has an hybrid sim slot contrary to what Gsmarena says.

On the battery stuff, yes individual usage affects alot. Network stability, temperature, luminosity, etc also affects. If you are a traveller, you'll really suffer grin.

The global rom installed. Will it be safe to update it later in the future. I heard that Xiaomi has started making it impossible to update Chinese redmi with global rom installed, unless bootloader is unlocked. How true is this?
You are fine with updates, there's no cause for alarm, what you heard of is something totally different.

Nice. Seems I will be going for Mi 8 Lite too then. But one would need to get the Xiaomi 2c powerbank because of the low capacity. undecided
Won't say battery is low, you know the S660 is power efficient, and there's quick charger out of the box. Getting a power bank should not be a must here.

At bolded, was it for your personal use? If yes, which did you later settled for?
Its for a friend, later settled for the Mi 8 lite, she too like updates plus usb type C. Also, she already is used to using Bluetooth earphones-work and play at thesame time.

Pls is it advisable to use 2 tempered glass on a fone screen? What are the pros and cons?

Cc @gptech grandmufti henry007 et al
Your phone will be less responsive to touch if you do it. There's no advantage of using two tampered glasses at thesame time, it won't add to your phone's protection.

Can anyone here unclock a locked xiaomi phone ?? message me on WhatsApp if you have office in Lagos I have other xiaomi phones that needs repair too
To unlock bootloader or phone is locked and can't be accessed? If it's security lock and phone is nor yours, then we can almost conclude that it's a stolen phone.

8x is nice. Another option is Mi 8 Lite 6gb 128gb. But has lesser battery capacity compared to the 8x.
Because of better support, ability to unlock bootloader, and overall better camera, Mi 8 lite, otherwise this Honor is a solid buy, was in this dilemma just last week.

I'm very well aware of the difference between a point and shoot and a DSLR. Thought I could get a cheap one. I guess I'll settle for the Nikon D5600. Got a deal for a 110k. Thanks though.
That's extremely cheap ooo, not bad at all.

You can get a point and shoot camera for that price but definitely you can't get a dslr camera for 25k.
I nr even see ur comment, my phone go even outperform those kind point and shoot sef.

Ahhh! This is serious. I didn't know DSLR's were that expensive
Hope you are not confusing DSLRs for point and shoot cameras? If you intend to use it for professional purposes, will advise you be patient and keep saving, might need to triple your budget to get something manageable unless you are lucky to get a very good unbelievable deal.

Mainly for pictures. No videos.
Emphasis on very cheap. 25k max. If there's any at that price range.
This price can't get you anything good ooo.

Consider Nokia 8 for 71k on Konga.com. It supports band 28
Nokia 8 or Nokia 6?
Modified : Seen, that's a great bargain, assuming it's not refurbished. Nice buy.

But take a look at this
Your network is really fluctuating here, and the battery usage by Android system seems high, let's investigate this with a proper usage stat.

So, when will I be needing replacement? When it goes down fast within 2 hours?. I don't want it to get to that stage. Fully charge in the morning when I browse and do some stuff, without even playing music etc by 3pm the battery will be like 29% and later goes down to 3% in the evening. Am force to like switch off my data at times to preserve the juice of the battery for calls.
Screenshot your battery usage from like 100-50%, you might need to update or do a factory reset.
