Honor X8d debuts as the first device running Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 2
If you’ve noticed a pattern with Honor’s budget lineup lately, you’re not wrong. The company has been rolling out both its X7 and X8 series phones with simple alphabetical suffixes.
Today, we’re looking at the Honor X8 line, which began with the original model back in 2022 and has since continued with predictable additions: the X8a, X8b, and X8c.
The latest entry in that sequence is the Honor X8d, which has quietly surfaced on a retailer’s website in Kyrgyzstan. Even with a low-key debut, it’s enough to give us a good look at what the phone brings.

Honor X8d Specifications
The Honor X8d features a 6.77-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 × 2392. It’s powered by the Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 2 chipset, which is making its debut next week. And yes, that’s the real name of the silicon.
Memory option includes 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The listing shows no higher-capacity variant, so storage expansion or additional models remain unknown.


Honor has included a 7,000 mAh battery, which is larger than what’s typical in this segment. The phone supports 45W wired charging. The X8d also carries an IP65 rating, offering basic dust and splash resistance.
On the back, the phone includes a 108MP main camera along with a secondary 5MP sensor. On the front, there’s a 16MP selfie camera. The device weighs 188 grams and measures 162.9 × 76.3 × 7.5 mm.
As for software, the phone is likely based on Android 16 with MagicOS 10 on top. The device comes in Black, Blue, and Silver shades.
The X8d hasn’t been formally announced yet, so there’s no pricing or availability information at the moment. However, the quiet listing suggests a launch may not be far off.
