Questions people ask
What model number is the X8a?
A real HONOR X8a reports CRT-LX1 or CRT-LX2 or CRT-LX3. In Chrome, Phone Checker reads it from the phone itself, so a copy can't hide behind Settings.
How much RAM does the X8a have?
At least 6 GB in the smallest version sold. A copy often has less, whatever its Settings say.
Which Android versions does the X8a run?
It came with Android 12. A version older than 12 means a different phone.
How do I know if my X8a is original?
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 X8a, for free.
