Mediatek Helio G88 (12nm)Chipset 128GB 8GB RAMRAM & Storage Triple: 100 MP, f/1.9, (wide), AF +Rear Camera Li-Po 4500 mAh, non-removable batteryBattery

Honor X8a price in Malaysia starts from RM699, positioning it as a budget option built around a 100MP main camera. The rear setup pairs that main sensor with a 5MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro lens, while a 16MP front camera handles selfies. Video tops out at 1080p30, so don't expect 4K here.

Inside, the Helio G88 chipset runs alongside 8GB RAM and 128GB storage, enough for everyday apps and casual gaming without much fuss. The 6.7-inch IPS LCD screen runs at 90Hz, which makes scrolling and swiping feel noticeably smoother than a standard 60Hz panel at this price point.

Battery life comes from a 4500mAh cell with 22.5W wired charging, HONOR claims 50% in 30 minutes. It's a plastic-framed, glass-fronted phone at 179g, available in Cyan Lake, Titanium Silver, and Midnight Black. A side-mounted fingerprint sensor handles unlocking, though NFC is limited to the CRT-LX1 variant only.
