When you look at the Honor 5X on paper it's impossible to deny that it offers some pretty great specs for its $199 price tag. Of course, specs alone don't make the phone, as they don't always translate into a good real world experience. In the case of the...
Honor 5x is completely be beaten by the Le 1s in this department. The metal finishing on the phone is evidently low on quality, especially when you pitch it against the LeEco Le 1S. Also Le 1s is better equipped in terms of hardware but Huawei isn't selli...
Unappealing UI, Weak audio playback from speakers, Weak camera performance when shooting video
The competition at this price point is heating up. We've compared the Honor 5X to the Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 , we recently we reviewed the Oppo F1 , and a Moto G is always a safe bet at this tier. Still there's a charm here. To answer the question pos...
Light metal design, Great size and feel in the hand, Ultra-fast and accurate fingerprint scanner, Great screen for the price, Excellent camera, Lots of features, Phenomenal battery life, 4G LTE in the US
Questionable camera software, Fragile camera hump, Plastic and metal make a weird look, EMUI is bloated and ugly, Performance can be sluggish and inconsistent
For $200 you're going to be hard pressed to find any brand new phone that's better than the Honor 5x. With region-specific models that provide 4G LTE in your area, a mostly solid build despite a fragile camera hump (get a case), great quality photos, s...
Slick exterior design, Decent display, Unique and useful dual SIM design, Multifunctional fingerprint ID sensor, Great photo quality
EMUI skin over Android 5.1.1 needs some work, U.S. carrier support too limited, No Android Marshmallow (6.0), Slow battery recharging, Lacks NFC and dualband WiFi
Considering that Huawei is the third largest smartphone manufacturer behind Apple and Samsung, it's no surprise it has delivered an economy smartphone that budget-conscious buyers would be wise to consider. It isn't an iPhone or Galaxy as its performance...

Abstract: The Huawei Honor 5X is perfectly fine, but its mostly metal design makes this $200 chunk of phone passable as something much nicer than it really is. Once you get beyond the hardware illusion, youre left with a major software identity crisis. On the Hono...
Low price, good functionality, EMUI interface eases the way for less experienced users, useful fingerprint sensor
Feels and looks a little cheap, EMUI interface not for Android enthusiasts
The deeper you dig into the Honor 5X, the more it may surprise you. The hardware is so-so: a mid-range processor, no 5GHz Wi-Fi, fit and finish that's just okay.But the EMUI interface built on top of Android marries Android to a distinct iOS feel, and it'...
Accurate, multifunction fingerprint sensor, Beautiful design for the price, Long-lasting battery, Affordable
Polarizing software
It's hard to find a better phone for the price than the Honor 5X. For just $200, the Honor 5X squeezes an all-day battery, a useful fingerprint sensor and good cameras into a solid, all-metal body. I love the clever use of the fingerprint sensor for short...
Abstract: A prominent, and understandably well-received, trend last year was the availability of relatively inexpensive smartphones without the compromise in quality that used to be seen. The number of fantastic smartphones that you can get your hands on priced aro...
Abstract: Chinese OEM honor may have only been around for a couple of years, but the Huawei subsidiary has recently been trying to make a splash in global markets. Last month, it introduced the new honor 5X to the US market at CES and today at an event in Germany...
