The host of the YouTube channel “Honest Blog” compared the characteristics and performance of two inexpensive Chinese smartphones:
The author of the YouTube channel “Honest Blog” Phil found outwhich budget device is worth purchasing in 2022: Honor X8 or Xiaomi Redmi Note 11. These devices run on the same processor – Snapdragon 680, but still behave differently in practice.
First of all, if we talk about appearance, thenHonor case is glossy, so you will definitely have to buy a case for it. At the same time, Xiaomi can be used without a case, as it has a matte back panel. And with it, the case comes with it, but it is not in the box with Honor.
The screens of the devices are almost the same.But Honor’s display diagonal is slightly larger (6.7 inches versus 6.43 inches), and the matrix on the X8 is IPS, while on the Note 11 – AMOLED. Therefore, the Xiaomi display looks brighter overall, but due to PWM (flicker) on such a smartphone, your eyes may hurt.
The sound will be better on Redmi, as it has stereo speakers. At the same time, Honor has only mono.
Both devices work approximately equally quickly. But Honor – is a little faster in the AnTuTu test. by 10-15 percent. You can see the rest of the measurements below.

The battery capacity of Redmi is 5000 mAh,but Honor – only 4000 mAh. At the same time, Note 11 is charged using a 33 W power supply, and X8 – 22.5 W. The first one needs about an hour to be fully charged, and the second – a little more time. Also, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 “lives” longer of the two devices.
Honor's main camera has a resolution of 64 MP,Xiaomi – 50 MP, front – 16 MP and 13 MP respectively. Both smartphones have basic modes, so they do not differ from each other in terms of functions.
In video shooting in Full HD 30 fps, the viewing angle and detail are better on Honor. The same goes for color reproduction: it's more natural on the X8.
On the main camera, clearer pictures are obtained.on Redmi, but it "tints" the photos too much. If you shoot with a wide-angle lens, then again you will get too saturated pictures on Xiaomi, but Honor will be a little better in details.
Evening photos come out on Xiaomi very overexposed, but there are more details on them. The Honor X8 handles backlight a little better and produces less noise.
Selfie shots of a colder shade are obtained on Xiaomi. At the same time, on Honor, the photos are more detailed.
