It sounds great. Even bigger than my Z Ultra!
A question: Does anyone know if the Dual SIM is "active" -- that is to say that each SIM has its own circuitry, allowing for two different carriers?
I spend time in both the US and in Europe, so I need a European carrier (Orange) and an American carrier (Net10).

I would imagine. The band support is slightly different for each. It also says dual card/dual standby in the spec sheet here so that probably means you can standby on two different networks simultaneously.

I've been looking at this phone ever since it was announced at MWC and searching every day for news about it. It is available at pompmall for preorder and coming out on April 7. I am a bit wary since the screen colors don't look as good as the X1, and its not something that can be fixed with a color temp slider, but we shall see. I have been debating between this and the X1 since that is cheaper and almost the same thing, but some key specs make the X2 worth paying more for and waiting for.
The X1 has a rather disappointing kirin 910 that benches even worse than a Galaxy S4. It is also, for all intents and purposes, stuck on 4.2 if you want a non-broken UI. The 4.4 I hear has many issues. Chinese phones in general, whatever Android version is preloaded is what you should expect and no more. Any upgrades are basically landmines since they hire a few monkeys and pay them with bananas to upgrade the software. The X2 will have lollipop from the get go.
The kirin 930 is also much much faster than the 910, although I wish the GPU was a bit more powerful. Qualcomm has been having issues with the Snapdragon 810 running the A57 cores and overheating at 2Ghz. Huawei has had crap processors in the past (cough kirin 910, 920, etc.) but I would imagine the 930 to be somewhat competent since it is basically just a 64bit version of their "slightly" older kirin processors in the Honor 6 and Mate 7 that had A15 cores. After so many iterations with A15/A57 they should be at least somewhat okay by now after so much trial and error. The big ass 7" will probably help with any thermal issues.
The other thing that will probably be a sizeable upgrade is the f/2.0 rear camera that will likely be the same IMX214 from the Mate 7. I just hope they actually improved the processing from the Mate 7. It didn't take very good pics and the X1 with the f/2.2 IMX135 was even worse. The front facing camera is now 22mm wide although it still has a sad f/2.4. I am probably expecting too much from Huawei since I have yet to find a phone from them that actually takes good pics but one can hope since it is a new year and they are willing to place their flagship kirin 930 into this big boy so maybe other changes are in store as well.
I like the metal-ish HTC like design of the X2 front more than the all glass generic look of the X1. Except I am partial to the dark blue back of the X1 black version.
Fun fact. Technically this phone is as wide as a 7.5" device since it has an android tablet aspect ratio of 16:10 instead of 16:9. I have always hated the extra long or extra tall look of 16:9 for anything but movies in landscape. I wish the bezels were thinner though, as the side bezels aren't really up to flagship level and makes it wider than it needs to be, even by a few mm.

Thanks, If I use two SIM cards, means I can't use SD card, it support full active?
Someone managed to combine the SIM with the micro SD card,
which makes X2 become dual 4G with micro SD inserted.
You can try vut do this on your own risk.

Back in January, rumors of a possible Huawei Honor X2 successor started to pop out. According with previous rumors, the tablet named as Huawei Honor X3, would be unveiled during CES packing a nice set of specs. However it was a no show until the most recent leaks at TENAA.
Originally, we were expecting the device to come with 6.2-inch 2K device, Kirin 950 processor alongside 4GB of Ram and 64GB of Storage. Previous benchmarks also suggested Android 6.0 in a newer version of EMUI. We cannot say what happened with the device on those leaks, but we got a different picture in the TENAA Honor X3 documentation.
According to TENAA, the Huawei Honor X3 boasts a larger 7-inch display with 1920×1200 resolution. The horsepower is given with the use of Snapdragon 615, a quite old and deprecated choice in 2016; Huawei could at least consider the 616 version that fixes all the problems found in the 615, other specs include 2GB of Ram and 16GB of Storage.
The Huawei Honor X3 also comes with a generous 13MP rear camera and 5MP unit on the front. We also found the presence of a fingerprint scanner on device’s border, just below power button, a new placement that we are seeing more often this year. Finally, the device houses a 4320mAh battery to provide enough juice to run out the specs.
Hey bark,
Thanks for posting this. In my opinion, these specs seem highly unrealistic and under par even in comparison to the current X2. I'll gamble and say the specs for the X3 will be much better than the ones quoted in this article...
ya maybe they might have a lite and a pro version for x3. and this one could be of lite.
A Snapdragon processor means there will probably be a CM based rom for it in the future.
Snapdragon means NO Dual Sim Full Active.... So I have to look to other device.

My Mi Max has a Snapdragon 652 and is DSDS.
Afaik honor 8 have kirin 950..
Checked with cpuz mine shown kirin 955..
Does anyone have same soc as mine or I have fake one...
Bought it from bestbuy.
no it's not fake, newer honor 8 or some new variant does have 955.
Mine says 955 as well. I ain't mad if that's the case. Slightly better processor
Most reviews and spec sheets for the Honor 8 list the CPU as a Kirin 950/955 because of the fact that more recent production runs are using the 955 instead of the 950. Other than the slight performance boost, the 955 shouldn't be significantly different from the 950 though...
settings-about phone. Mine is 950. In cpuz, it stated 955.
My about phone in settings say 950 but cpu-z says 955, not sure which is correct?
Edit: i downloaded 5 others and the ones with the z say 955 and the ones with x say 950, so i think i will just trust the about phone in settings
Same here! Settings 950 and CPU-Z says 955. Thats strange :victory:
Sent from my Honor 8 using XDA Labs
Mine says the same.... Settings 950, CPUz 955...
To be fair the 950 is just an underclocked 955.. Why change processor as a whole for 0.2 GHz less?
So...can we overclock it?

Too bad that comes with Kirin 810 not 990 and without google
But Kirin 810 better than 970
and Note Series always without Google
Ok,Now I can say for sure that the Kirin 810 is better than the Kirin 970.
I have the Honor 9x Pro with 8/128 GB and Antutu Points is 290571
Honor Note 10 with Kirin 970 get 210000-220000 Points.
I'm really surprised.

I own pocophone f1 and i love it . And i always say i will buy f2 when he come out . But 730 g why go down ? 845 is way better
its the new chipset like xiaomi note 10
ChipsetQualcomm SDM730 Snapdragon 730G (8 nm)
Because chipset 730 is newest chipset for a gaming experience and battery life better. sorry for my bad english.
Yes but its not better ?

Rather discussion.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/how-to/message-moderators-users-please-read-t3503775
Just think for once.
Why should they bring another phone with an two years old 845, when they already have?
If they would go with the 855, why should they? They already offer more than enough phones with 855.
If they would go with the 865, can they keep the low price? Also they release plenty of other phones with 865, why another one?
And why would you buy a X2 with 845, if you already have a F1 with 845?
Why don't you just consider buying one with the 855 or 865 if you care so much about performance?

I agree, 730g would be a let down in terms of performance, 845 can still beat 730g in gaming department. I'm also worried how 730g will handle 120 frames every second, even if it's new it's still not upto 800 series. Poco F1 was success because they provided a flagship processor at midrange price but now 730g a mid range processor at mid range price with 120hz screen gimmick, not very exciting.

Poco x2 its not poco f2 becouse off that .I was think the same but then i seen on xiaomi website that is only name for global version . K30 or global poco x2 . Pocophone f2 will be like poco f1 great with top specs. Sry for bad english
Poco X2 =/= Poco F1's successor = Poco F2. You are in the wrong forum.
And to the person above, 730G is perfectly capable of handling 120Hz. Nor it's a "gimmic". The difference is eminent.
Using Oneplus 6 (SD845) alongside with K30. I feel no apparant difference in terms of performance.
According to antutu scores Snapdragon 730G score is 40K lesser than the SD 845 and 100K lesser than the SD 855.
Does anyone know about the benchmark of this chipset?

The antutu benchmarks score for this chipset is 259109.
Antutu is irrelevant of real life performance. Anything from 730G and up is descent performance nowdays even for a mobile gamer. Hardcore gamers will opt for a gaming mobile as the Black Shark or the ROG phone

730G and SD675 both is doing well
A Poco with 865 is very hard to happen, because the 865 cpu + modem alone cost $100+. F1 have 845 because Qualcomm discount it, but 855 and 855+ haven't had any.
Aside from this, X2 is basically a rebranded K30, so can the K30 use the same rom as X2? Have anyone tried?
Snapdragon 730G has Kryo 470 CPU - 2 Powerful Cortex-A76 cores and 6 Efficiency Cortex-A55 cores with a clock speed of 2.2GHz and 1.8GHz
Snapdragon 845 has a Kryo 385 - 4 powerful Cortex-A75 cores at 2.8GHz and 4 efficiency cores at 1.8GHz
Snapdragon 730G have some of the Elite Gaming features like Anti Cheat Extensions, Junk Reducer, and HDR Gaming is added to Snapdragon 730G. Snapdragon 845 doesn’t have the Elite Gaming features.
730G has Qualcomm’s 4th Gen AI Engine. It has Hexagon Vector Extensions as well as Hexagon Tensor Accelerator
845 Qualcomm 3rd generation AI Engine. It only has a Hexagon Vector Accelerator.
730G is being an SoC of the newer generation and hence has better innovative things like the AI department.
Honestly here in Pakistan we actually don't care much about Poco X2. Xiaomi already launched MI 9T Pro at the same price they launched Poco F1 for around 369 USD. For the time being my Poco F1 will still last at least another year and after that i will think about upgrading to another phone but will definitely be from Xiaomi.

No matter what they include. You have to accept that SD 730G just can't beat SD 845 in terms of performance.
