The first game we played on the HONOR 8X was PUBG Mobile, a battle royal game that supports HD graphics, and is among the most popular on the market. Conveniently for anyone already familiar with it, the gameplay is quite similar with that seen on the computer version.

When played on the HONOR 8X, PUBG enjoys an extremely high frame rate, with optimal smoothness, not slowing down a bit to account for the superior graphics quality.

Settings > Display > More display settings > Notch > Hide Notch

After removing the notch, we found that PUBG was immersive on a whole new level.

2.       Honkai Impact 3

Honkai Impact 3 is an action-packed game with tremendous graphics that provides for a thrilling and immersive experience. On the HONOR 8X, Honkai Impact 3 comes to life, in an explosion of color and sound.

Select the right-hand graphics setting for the best possible experience, and enjoy gameplay completely free of lag, that progresses in a seamless flow.

Honkai Impact 3 is perfect for the HONOR 8X, because it requires top notch specs in order to get superior graphics, which is essential to enjoying the game as it was intended to be played.

3.       Saint Seiya: Awakening

Saint Seiya: Awakening is a game adapted from the Saint Seiya Zodiac Knights anime franchise, and has experienced a recent boom in popularity. Saint Seiya: Awakening brings players back to their childhood fandom, in addition to being a tremendous game in its own right.

On the HONOR 8X, players can rely on default graphics settings from the game, and still experience first-rate quality, as there are no graphics levels to choose from.

Overall, Saint Seiya: Awakening is quite satisfying on the HONOR 8X, as the phone's capabilities make the multi-faceted aspects of gameplay completely effortless.

4.       Mobile Legends

Mobile Legends is a 5 vs 5 battle arena game that is popular among a wide range of age groups. It allows you to assume the role of a hero, with iconic characters such as Franco and Khufra.

After playing Mobile Legends on the HONOR 8X, we came away with the following observations.

(1) Mobile Legends Graphics

Most importantly, Mobile Legends should be played under the right-hand, "High Quality" graphics setting, which the HONOR 8X is more than equipped to handle. Doing so will result in satisfying gameplay, with lifelike characters, a high frame rate, and battlefield optimization in which settings only appear when they are supported by the device.

(2) Lag-free gameplay

Some smartphones are able to maximize the settings, but are unable to run them smoothly. That's a pretty significant issue, wouldn't you think? The HONOR 8X enables you to run all of the high-level settings fluidly, allowing for premium gaming free of compromise.

5.       Asphalt 9

Shifting gears, anyone who has any familiarity with car racing games will certainly know about the Asphalt series. Asphalt 9, presented by Gameloft, has outstanding graphics quality and contains some significant improvements over earlier versions. The sounds of skidding cars, the effects of collisions, and view of the track are all utterly believable.

Playing Asphalt 9 games on the HONOR 8X was an eye-opening experience, as you might be able to tell just from the images, but definitely should confirm for yourself! It's easy to see why the game is so highly-acclaimed, when it is played on a phone that brings out all of its attributes.

The HONOR 8X delivers sterling graphics quality, and stunningly real effects such as the famous Nitro Shockwave, bringing nonstop action and consistent suspense.

Conclusion

The HONOR 8X is a phone that brings out the best in every game, with state-of-the-art audio and graphics that are exhilarating in any context. The games covered in this article contain diverse characteristics that are representative of the hundreds, if not thousands, of popular games on the market.
