Summary of advantages
Looking at the displays, we’ll see that the Honor 8X has the advantage in terms of size, aspect ratio, and horizontal resolution. Whereas the Note 6 Pro has a higher pixel density and a Gorilla Glass protection. In terms of viewing experience, the former is definitely the right pick but in terms of protection, the latter is more durable.
The Kirin 710 and Snapdragon 636 processors have clashed before with our comparison of the Huawei Nova 3i and ASUS ZenFone 5 (2018) with the former winning in terms of overall performance. This means that the Honor 8X will have the upper-hand in terms of a faster CPU performance and gaming experience.
We’ve yet to test the full camera capabilities of both smartphones so stay tuned for that. On paper, however, we can say that the Honor 8X has a higher main rear camera resolution with a slightly wider aperture while the Note 6 Pro has a higher front camera resolution and a secondary lens.
Both devices have large battery capacities but the Note 6 Pro’s is slightly higher. We’re yet to test the battery life of both devices but on paper, the Redmi Note 6 Pro looks better.
The Honor 8X is priced at Php12,990USD 221INR 18,765EUR 211CNY 1,612 for the 4GB + 128GB variant while the Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro is priced at PHP 10,999USD 187INR 15,889EUR 179CNY 1,365 for the 3GB + 32GB model and PHP 12,990USD 221INR 18,765EUR 211CNY 1,612 for the 4GB + 64GB one.
To summarize, the Honor 8X is a good pick when it comes to the viewing experience, storage size, and overall performance while the Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro is a better choice when you want more screen protection, quad cameras, and a larger battery capacity.

Pano nyo nasabi na mas better si kirin 710 kesa sd 636
Ecch says:
Because that’s the configuration available in our market, 4gb ram/128gb storage. Check posting on Lazada to be convinced. =)

I choose the Honor 8x because of the dedicated dedicated microSD card slot.
For the Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro, you have to sacrifice either the 2nd SIM or the microSD, you cannot have both.
But for Honor 8x, you have both.
So Honor 8x is the winner.
