Honor 8X and 8X Max to be officially introduced on September 5

Honor 8X and 8X Max to be officially introduced on September 5 by fonespecs   /  24 Aug 2018 Honor's mid-range phone the 8X finally has an unveiling date – September 5. The Chinese company hasn't yet made any announcements, but it did send invitations to the media, which confirm the  Honor 8X  will indeed go official early next month. What's really surprising is that the Honor 8X  won't be the only phone introduced on September 5. An improved version of the phone, which will be launched on the market as Honor 8X Max is expected to be announced next month as well.

Oppo R17 Pro is introduced with two batteries, three rear cameras and one waterdrop notch
Earlier this month, Oppo unveiled the R17, the first handset with a display protected by Gorilla Glass 6. Today, the R17's big brother was introduced. The Oppo R17 Pro features a 6.4-inch AMOLED panel (the screen-to-body-ratio is 91.5%), and it is powered by the Snapdragon 710 Mobile Platform carrying an octa-core CPU running at 2.2 GHz. The Adreno 616 GPU is included, and the device is equipped with 8GB of RAM/128GB of native storage.
Like the R17, the Pro variant has the waterdrop notch. And on back you'll find a triple camera setup including a 20MP lens with OIS, a 12MP lens and a 3D Stereo Camera lens. The latter is used for AR effects. Besides the trio of cameras, the color theme will also remind you of the Huawei P20 Pro (see the image at the top of this article). And yes, there is an in-display fingerprint sensor. Place your finger on the specific spot designated on the display, and the handset unlocks.

The Oppo R17 Pro has a pair of 1850mAh cells inside. That works out to 3700mAh of battery power. Using the two separate cells allows users to replenish 40% of battery power in only 10 minutes thanks to Super VOOC fast-charging technology.
