Summary
- The Blackview Wave 8C and Honor X5b both feature a 6.56" display with a resolution of 720 x 1612 pixels, but the Honor X5b offers a higher refresh rate of 90Hz compared to the Wave 8C's 60Hz.
- In terms of performance, the Honor X5b is powered by the Mediatek Helio G36 chipset, which is more efficient than the Unisoc SC9863A in the Wave 8C, and it also includes 4GB of RAM compared to the Wave 8C's 2GB.
- Both phones have a 13 MP rear camera, but the Honor X5b has a wider aperture at f/1.8, potentially improving low-light performance, while the Wave 8C has an 8 MP front camera versus the 5 MP on the Honor X5b.
- The Wave 8C has a slightly larger battery capacity at 5000 mAh compared to the Honor X5b's 5200 mAh, but the latter supports faster charging at 10W.
- Both devices run on Android 14, but the Wave 8C uses the Go edition with DokeOS 4.0, while the Honor X5b features Magic OS 8, which may provide a different software experience.
