Great price/performance balance, Premium design elements, Lightweight, Good battery life
It's important to remember that the Honor 5X costs just £189.99, which for a dual-SIM 4G phone with a Full HD screen and expandability up to 128GB is pretty enticing. Similarly-priced handsets include the Wileyfox Storm and the Samsung Galaxy A3, which ce...
Clean, classy build, Good battery life, Responsive fingerprint sensor
Slow touch response on display, Sluggish UI, No USB OTG
All things considered, the Honor 5X is a worthy upgrade to its predecessor, having received a facelift in practically every department, including build, cameras, battery life and new hardware like the fingerprint sensor. Our main gripe with the smartphone...
At the end of the day there are a lot of things we need to dig through to fully understand Huawei's new Honor 5x smartphone. Overall it runs pretty fast, smooth and stable, but did have a hiccup here and there. It's no flagship phone by any means, but for...
Great battery life, Premium metal build, Fast and accurate fingerprint scanner, Useful gesture controls with scanner, Affordable price point
Below average speaker, Mediocre camera, Software experience not for everyone
The honor 5X brings a beautiful metal build, a big 5.5-inch screen, and a fingerprint scanner, all for under $200 - features unheard of for such a low price point. Even with questionable software, a mediocre camera and sluggish performance, this affordabl...
Awesome display, Great battery life, Fingerprint sensor, Affordable
No NFC, No 5GHz WiFi, No Fast Charging, Lack of Band 12 on T-Mobile (could be updated)
Sexy design, slick hardware features, and insanely low entry fee will draw in consumers, but the price tag shows its face in the form of a slow processor and muddled UI. Even with those flaws, the honor 5x is arguably the best entry level phone on the pla...
Competitive $200 full retail price, Sleek metal design, Responsive fingerprint sensor
Poor incall quality, Metal body feels a little cheap & prone to scratching, Very bluish display colors, Can become sluggish with its performance, Obnoxiously long battery recharge time
The strategy is simple with this one. Essentially, honor is the first out of the gate to set the bar for what we expect out of phones in the mid-range category this year – and the honor 5X surely raises some brows in the process. Combing over the phone sp...
5.5-inch, 1080p display is so good for watching movies on the train, Battery life can get you through an entire day, and then some
Huawei's EMUI is too kiddish to be taken seriously, Performance can be a bit on the sluggish side
The Honor 5X packs all the standard smartphone features into a stylish, affordable little package. Its only drawback is its cutesy, confusing Android overlay...
Quality screen, Competent camera, Good build for $199, Fingerprint sensor
Questionable software "features", Software still broken in places, Sluggish at times, Launching with Android 5.1
So let's get down to it: should you buy the Honor 5X? Depending on your priorities you may come to a different conclusion, but I just can't recommend this phone over the competition out there. If it sounds like the same old story again about an Honor (or...
Fingerprint scanner A touch fingerprint scanner on a $200 smartphone. It works. Enough said, Battery life 3000mAh battery provides surprisingly solid battery life, even if charging is a bit slow, Display It gets really bright and it is not terrible, high
Software Huawei, no. Huawei, stop. Huawei, please. Just do stock Android. No one in America, or I have to think anywhere, likes EMUI. I'd take TouchWiz over this in a heartbeat. Seriously
A $200 smartphone with a fingerprint scanner, a decent camera, solid battery life, and LTE? Two years ago, we all would have said that was impossible. (To be fair, two years ago, it likely would have been.) Even today, the Honor 5X represents a level of v...
Questionable software "features", Software still broken in places, Sluggish at times, Launching with Android 5.1
Honor has an affordable and capable budget option here, but the software borders on unacceptable.The quick takeThe Honor 5X is a budget-priced phone that feels aspirational to something worth a bit more than you paid. For $199 you get a better hardware ex...
