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.

My bro uses K4 Note since last 15 days. It has nothing to excite. Just a plasticy look,2 finger store for scanner,lessar processor,low hardware built and even 1:1000 color saturate ratio . . . When 5x has much more identical built by Huwei which offers many thing as per above review by gsmarena . . Worth to buy.

              From the review I feel that the camera quality is low and cheap, especially the front.

                          I was going to buy this phone for $225 , But I've changed my mind and ordered LG G flex 2 h955 model for $280 .
                          I think that flex 2 is far better than the honor 5X .

                              Would never trade performance and/or screen quality for "premium" built. Give me high performing plastic phone with fantastic screen.
