Honor 8X Max leaked specs list include Snapdragon 660 chipset

Honor has already confirmed that its next mid-range smartphones, the Honor 8X and 8X Max will be officially unveiled on September 5. However, we've already seen some pictures of the phones and benchmarks that partially reveal their specs.

One thing that we weren't sure about is what chipset the phones will use, either the Snapdragon 636 or 660. Today, thanks to a leak from Weibo, the Chinese alternative for Facebook, we learned that at least one of the phone, the Honor 8X Max will be powered by a 2.2 GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor.

Moreover, the leaked screenshots reveal the phone will pack 4GB RAM and the display's resolution: 2244 x 1080 pixels. If you haven't read our previous reports, then you might not be aware that the Honor 8X Max's display has a small waterdrop notch at the top, hence the unusual resolution.

Speaking of the display, the Honor 8X Max is said to boast a huge 7.12-inch screen, while the regular Honor 8X is expected to come with a much smaller one. The rest of the phone's specs might include a dual camera, a massive 4,900 mAh battery, and a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor.
