Gearbest are selling the Huawei Honor 8X phone for $369 delivered. That price is for the black one but it's about $20 more for blue or red.

Don't forget 1.8% cashback at cashrewards.

For the price it's an extremely well-specced phone. Currently running Android 8.1 but Android Pie is currently in beta test for this phone.

Note - no Band 28. Having said that I recently moved to a non-Band 28 phone and my fears about having less coverage or lower speed have turned out to be unfounded thus far (recently posted a DSLReports speed test of 199mbps down, 40mbps up). Next time I head to Cradle Mountain might be a different story I guess but for day-to-day use it hasn't worried me.

    The Honor 8X Global ROM black is $294AUD on AliExpress flash sale ATM. I see no difference? Better deal I suggest, unless I'm missing something.
    I guess you could use the shopback deal for an extra 12% off that (no personal experience with cashback sites, but I saw that deal earlier here on OZB).

    I'm desperately hunting a good deal for {preferably} a xiaomi phone for my wife in the $2-300 bracket, but am so confused on the variety of models.

      This is a good deal but if you want Xiaomi in that price range it's hard to go past the Redmi Note 5 AI (it's the note 5 with the better camera and the Snapdragon 636 essentially). Best bang for buck.

      If you can wait a little longer, the Redmi Note 7 was just announced. It's got a big screen though. Bigger than what I would like, but the Redmi Note phones are good value for money.

      EDIT: Also, if you're confused as to what to get, use GSM Arena's phone finder. Put in your requirements, and it will list you the phones you want.

    Hnor 8x is a good phone. But beware it doesn't have USB-C, only micro USB. Screen is huge. PErsonally I went for the Xiaomi Mi8 Lite (Youth edition), as it has SD660 and USB-C, for not much more.

    Just Saw Redmi Note 7 has been announced - looks great for the price. Its just missing NFC and Band 28.

      Damn, now I'm stuck on either the Pocophone F1 or wait till this gets released.

    I had the Honor 7x, great phone. The only issue i can complain about was the lack of updates - but when i complain to honor - they advised it was due to a geographical issue (bought from China market to Australia)

  • apokalypsez on 11/01/2019 - 11:56

    is band 28 really important? B28 only for data(internet) or also for Voice…
