HONOR has officially unveiled the new HONOR X8d smartphone in Kazakhstan, expanding its popular X Series lineup. The device is aimed at users who value elegant design, long battery life and practical artificial intelligence features for everyday use. Despite its slim body, the HONOR X8d combines a high-capacity battery, intelligent controls and a premium display, positioning itself as a well-balanced option in its segment, DKNews.kz reports.
Ultra-slim design with outstanding battery life
At first glance, the HONOR X8d stands out with its refined appearance. The smartphone is just 7.5 mm thick, making it light and comfortable to hold. A modern micro-nano texture adds a subtle shine to the back panel, while the metallic frame emphasizes the device’s premium look.
Behind the slim design lies one of the phone’s key strengths — a 7,000 mAh battery. This is an unusually large capacity for such a thin smartphone. According to test results, the device can operate for up to 52 hours on a single charge, while continuous video playback reaches up to 31 hours. The battery is also designed for longevity, with up to six years of use without significant degradation.
Fast wired charging with 45 W HONOR SuperCharge allows users to quickly replenish the battery, and the charger is included in the box — a detail many users will appreciate.
Reliable performance in different climates
The HONOR X8d is built with real-life conditions in mind. Thanks to a multi-point battery temperature monitoring system, the smartphone operates stably in temperatures ranging from −20 °C to +45 °C, making it suitable for diverse climates, including Kazakhstan’s harsh winters and hot summers.
Despite its slim body, the device is highly durable. It can withstand drops from heights of up to two meters and comes with IP65 protection against dust and water. Short-term exposure to water is also not critical, making the smartphone a reliable choice for an active lifestyle.
Dedicated AI button for faster interaction
One of the standout features of the HONOR X8d is a dedicated physical AI button. A single press allows quick access to frequently used apps, while a long press unlocks advanced AI functions such as intelligent object search, AI subtitles, AI text input and personal data protection tools.
Running on MagicOS 10 based on Android 16, the smartphone offers a wide range of smart features designed to simplify daily tasks and enhance productivity, turning the device into a versatile assistant for both work and personal use.
108 MP camera with AI editing tools
Photography is another area where the HONOR X8d delivers strong performance. The 108 MP Ultra-Clear AI main camera produces detailed and vibrant photos in both daylight and low-light conditions. A 3× zoom without quality loss allows users to capture expressive shots at different focal lengths.
Built-in AI editing tools enable users to enhance photos directly on the device — removing unwanted objects, improving image quality, cutting out subjects or expanding frames with just a few taps.
Flagship-level display and smooth performance
The smartphone features a 6.77-inch OLED display supporting 1.07 billion colors, a 120 Hz refresh rate and peak HDR brightness of up to 3,000 nits. The result is a vivid, fluid and comfortable viewing experience, even in bright outdoor conditions.
Eye protection is also a priority. The display incorporates multiple technologies, including high-frequency PWM dimming, a circadian night mode, dynamic dimming, blue light reduction and an e-book mode for comfortable reading.
Performance is powered by the Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 2 processor. HONOR RAM Turbo technology expands the available RAM up to an equivalent of 16 GB (8 GB physical + 8 GB virtual), ensuring smooth multitasking even after prolonged use. Internal storage of up to 256 GB provides ample space for apps, photos and videos.
Colors, pricing and availability
The HONOR X8d is available in three stylish colors:
- Sky Blue
- Velvet Gray
- Velvet Black
In Kazakhstan, the recommended retail prices are:
- 8 GB + 128 GB — 169,990 KZT
- 8 GB + 256 GB — 179,990 KZT
With its combination of slim design, exceptional battery life and thoughtfully integrated AI features, the HONOR X8d is positioned as a smartphone that prioritizes everyday comfort and reliability without compromising on style or performance.
