Huawei's Honor brand announced a new mid-range smartphone, the Honor 8X, which has now hit the UK, bringing budget notch action to the masses.
The Honor 8X features a glass and metal body with a 6.5-inch FullView (1080 x 2340-resolution) display, 91 per cent screen-to-body ratio and 19.5:9 form factor. It comes with a notch at the top and is now available to order in the UK.

It runs Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box with EMUI 8.2 overlaid.
The handset is available in major European countries and the UK, priced at £229.99, which represents good value for money.
The Honor 8X Max - a plus-sized version of the Honor 8X - doesn't seem to have made it out of China.
It has a 7.12-inch (1080 x 2244-resolution) display and more of a waterdrop-style notch - much like the one on the Essential Phone. Internal specs include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 (or Snapdragon 660), the same RAM and storage options, and a larger 5,000mAh battery.
