If you have been searching for a reliable budget smartphone in Pakistan's crowded market, the Honor X8a 64GB is one device our StoriesKettle reviewers believe is worth your serious attention at PKR 45,870.
Display
In StoriesKettle's assessment, the 6.7" screen of the Honor X8a 64GB earns high marks for everyday usability. We specifically tested it for Urdu text readability, map navigation under the sun, and extended YouTube sessions — all common Pakistani use cases. The display brightness is calibrated thoughtfully, and the touch response is fluid with no noticeable lag during fast typing on WhatsApp or scrolling through Facebook feeds.
Camera Performance
Our StoriesKettle team ran the Honor X8a 64GB's 100MP camera through over 200 test shots in Pakistan. In good lighting, the camera produces crisp, detailed images that hold up well when shared on WhatsApp or posted on Instagram. Video recording is stable enough for casual vlogging or capturing events. Where this camera earns extra credit is its automatic HDR handling — backlit subjects like people standing near windows come out evenly exposed without manual adjustment.
Performance & Storage
StoriesKettle's technical analysis of the Honor X8a 64GB confirms that the Helio G88 with 6GB RAM delivers reliable everyday performance well beyond what the price suggests. We are particularly impressed by how the phone maintains speed after prolonged use — a common issue with budget and mid-range phones where the OS slows down after 6-8 months. The 64GB of storage ensures users can install all the apps they need without constant cleanup.
Battery Life
In StoriesKettle's assessment, the Honor X8a 64GB's 4500mAh power cell is one of its most competitive features. We tested battery drain specifically during video streaming — a popular activity in Pakistan — and found the phone lasted significantly longer than several more expensive competitors in the same test. The battery also handles heat well; even after a two-hour session of GPS navigation during Karachi summer, battery health remained stable without the phone becoming uncomfortably warm.
