The Honor 8X feels like anything but a budget device with its large 6.5″ display which features an insane 91% screen-to-body ratio. Users have often mentioned this feature as their favorite when it comes to watching movies on the Honor 8X. The display isn’t only impressive due to its size, but the unique Eye Comfort mode certified by TÜV Rheinland makes the display much easier on the eyes during the evening.
When it comes to gaming, the Kirin 710 chipset paired with the 3750mAh battery makes 3D gaming a great experience. Throw any of the latest games at the Honor 8X and you’ll have smooth gameplay with a battery that will keep you going for quite a while.
The camera on the Honor 8X features a dual-lens 20MP rear camera with Honor’s AI technology. Our video review above will go through all of the major aspects of this camera. Overall the phone takes some really impressive shots for a budget device.
With any budget phone, you’ll expect some lower quality materials and build design, but that’s not what you get with the Honor 8X. The Phone features a high quality glass body design. The unique colorful textures on this phone make it stand out really well.
The Honor X series has a reputation of always offering some of the best valued phones on the market. So far, the Honor 8X is a consumer favorite budget phone of 2018. All of these points are why we think the Honor 8X is the best budget phone for anyone looking to buy a gift for someone.

Price: $239.99
The Moto G6 is a phone that has gone through quite a bit of an evolution, being the 6th installment of a great budget line. While Motorola keeps their software very close to a stock Android experience, the Moto G6 features a lot of great extra software features. Attentive display is one example of a great software feature that makes this phone deserving of a second look. The display will stay on while you’re looking at it, and shut the display off to save power when you’re not. It’s a great budget phone for under $250.
