Design and Display
The 2.5D two texture aurora glass really does the trick because the Huawei Honor 8x Max looks quite good. At the back, the smartphone looks entirely like a bigger Honor 8x but at the front the notch is different. The Huawei Honor 8c Max had more of an Essential phone type of notch which is very much smaller and hence more viewing space for you. For more screen space, the chin is slim and so are the bezels around it.
Viewing just got bigger on a smartphone with the Honor 8x Max taking mobile display to the maximum like its name depicts. Not particularly tailored for one handed use, the smartphone can still easily fit into your pocket due to the 18.7:9 aspect ratio. For the lovers of the bug screens, the smartphone offers 7.12-invh of display real estate and with a resolution of 1080 x 2244 pixels.

The smartphone has got you covered in that aspect with a 5, 000mAh battery to makes sure you get quality time from the smartphone. You also get fast charge too which makes sure your battery top up on your smartphone faster than normal.
Also, you will be getting a dual camera at the rear just like in the Honor 8x arranged the same way. However, the pixel count on the camera is down from what you have on Honor 8x.
