Premium feel, mid-tier engine.
X40 brought Honor's curved-glass design and anti-drop certification to the $280 segment — looks and durability that read more expensive than the price. The Snapdragon 695 and 2 MP filler were the give-back. As a phone that felt premium without costing it, it served well.
