The other launch was that of the Honor 5x which was previously seen at the CES apart from its launch in China in October 2015. We always wondered if this budget phone would see the sunrise in India and I think someone heard us. The phone has its heads up and ready to intensify the budget smartphone competition in India, We honestly couln;t find a readon to say no to this phone looking at what’s on offer. Let us give you a glimpse, the phone has 5.5 inch Full HD IPS display (403 ppi) and runs 64 bit octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM 8939 processor with Adreno 405 GPU, 2 GB RAM and 16 GB internal storage with support for microSD up to 128 GB.

Huawei-Honor-5X

The all metal, sleek looking phone has more to its premium feel, yes it has a fingerprint scanner and it’s not just any other scanner, but it’s a high quality one with 0.5 seconds recognition time. I think gone are the days of app lock, this is power and personalization in the hands of user, beat that. The all rounder boasts of a 13 MP primary camera with dual LED flash, f/2.0 aperture and wide-angle lens, blue glass filter and a 5 MP front snapper. Plenty of connectivity options are on offer, with almost everything you can ask for, including the 4G, Dual-SIM. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, QC 2.0 with a pretty decent 3000 mAh battery to keep you up and rinning for almost one good working day.


With the experience we have had of the previous models of the Huawei’s, confidence runs our minds that the two models are durable and interesting offers for those who want to buy phones around this price segment.
