Huawei Honor 5X review: Aiming High

16 February, 2016
Honor made a last minute swipe at CES and blew us away with what its 200 dollar phone could offer: a metal body, a large 3000mAh battery, quick fingerprint unlock, and a 5.5" 1080p screen. Honor is also entering the US market with the launch of the Honor 5X, selling it as an unlocked and dual-SIM smartphone.

              Dearest gsmArena factwriting friends and followers.Besides unbiased complete GSM review,this Huawei 5x subsidiary Honor production is a good midrange smartphone with 200 dollar price,but ofcourse it could have been better in more advanced complete WiFis,Bluetooth and other shortcomings which is mentioned in GSM review!Hopefully Honor reads unbiased comments and in honor 6X modifies them for ascending to upper midrange categories...Anyway for that price,5X is good but nowadays strong rivals,specially in China like its golden Apple,red rice will win the positive contests of betterments!!!I wish the best for GSM,Huawei,all readers,friends,and followers to read all reviews before purchasing and then being dissatisfied!!!Thanks.Justice Rights.Omid12omidvar.

                                I just wish this was a 'world phone' like the Moto X PE or Nexus 6, instead of a US-only only phone. I live in the US but travel to Europe frequently where Band 3 (1800 MHz) LTE is used almost everywhere. Unfortunately, it's missing on the 5x.

                                  Great audio specs, preamp and poweramp seems similar to G8.

                                    I have seen this Phone .. Worst display quality and worst camera
                                    Only build quality is good ..
                                    Lenovo *Vibe K4 Note* is much better phone than this in everything ...
