Honor Philippines has announced that the Honor X8a will be launched and released in the Philippines this March 14.
The Honor X8a sits between the Honor X9a at Php16,990 (8GB/256GB) and the Honor X7a at Php7,990.
A number of dealer stores (e.g. Rulls Cellphone & Accessories in Waltermart, Paniqui) have also announced pre-orders of the Honor X8a with a retail price of Php14k for the 8GB/128GB combo (we reckon the 6GB/128GB could be priced a bit lower at around 12k?).
