How much RAM does the Honor 8X have?
At least 4 GB in the smallest version sold. A copy often has less, whatever its Settings say.
Which Android versions does the Honor 8X run?
It came with Android 8. A version older than 8 means a different phone.

Open ogphonechecker.com on the phone itself and tap Check this phone. In about 20 seconds it compares the model code, graphics chip, RAM and screen with a real Honor 8X, for free.
