The Honor 8X’s existence has now been confirmed by the company with an official teaser. The teaser poster claims that the smartphone will ‘surpass limits’, and will be ‘beyond imagination’. This could be hinting at a more screen-to-body ratio, with the TENAA image leak also hinting at a waterdrop display notch in the front and a huge 7.12-inch display. This could also mean more processing power and RAM on the Honor 8X, but it is all speculation at this point in time.
The teaser poster has been released on social networking site Weibo and we expect to see more teasers revealing features and specifications of the Honor 8X regularly moving forward. There is no confirmation on arrival date, pricing, or specifications yet. To recall, the predecessor Honor 7X was launched in October last year, and the Honor 8X could arrive around the same time this year as well.
Leaks suggest that the Honor 8X will sport a waterdrop display notch, with vertically stacked dual rear cameras and a fingerprint sensor placed at the back.

Honor 8X specifications
As mentioned, specifications have been tipped on TENAA and the Honor 8X is expected to run Android 8.1, and have a huge 7.12-inch full-HD+ (1080×2244 pixels) TFT display with an 18.7:9 aspect ratio. It will be powered by an octa-core SoC clocked at 1.8GHz, coupled with 4GB of RAM. Internal storage should be at 64GB, further expandable via microSD card (up to 256GB).
The Honor 8X is listed to sport a dual rear camera setup with a 16-megapixel primary sensor and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. It sports an 8-megapixel selfie camera as well. There is tipped to be a 4,900mAh battery under the hood. Dimensions of the Honor 8X are listed to be 177.57×86.24×8.13mm and weight is 210 grams.
Connectivity options include 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and USB. Sensors onboard the smartphone should include an accelerometer, ambient light sensor, a fingerprint sensor, and proximity sensor.
But teenagers weren’t the only group getting in on the trend. In August 2014, a North Carolina mother was arrested and charged with contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile for allegedly helping her 16-year-old son try the fire challenge. According to police, Janie Lachelle Talley “was present and aware of what her son (was) doing and facilitated the recording,” the Charlotte News Observer reported.
Since then, there have been numerous incidents of fire challenges gone awry. Just last month, in a case with striking similarities to Timiyah’s, a 12-year-old boy from South Carolina burned more than 40 percent of his body participating in the challenge.
Owens said her daughter is on a ventilator and needs a feeding tube. Timiyah has second- and third-degree burns, and most of her body is covered in heavy white bandages.
As other seventh-graders prepare to go back to school in a few weeks, Owens said her daughter won’t be joining them. Doctors told Owens that Timiyah will be hospitalized for at least the next few months and has about four more surgeries left.
Though she hasn’t been able to ask Timiyah what happened, Owens said the other girls explained that they were doing the fire challenge. Timiyah had poured rubbing alcohol on her arms, Owens said, and one of the others had lit the fire.
One of them had tried the challenge at her own home and sustained only minor burns, so she introduced it to Timiyah and her other friend that afternoon, Owens said.
“The girl said it seemed like fun,” she said, “you just have to be by water when you’re doing the fire challenge, so my daughter offered to try it.”
