Honor 5X Review

Score: 58.4 / 100

Honor 5X is an interesting phone launched in November 2015, coming with a high speed Octa-Core processing unit speeding at 1500 megahertz, a big size 5.5-inches display, and 2 cameras, a 13 MP back side camera and a 5 MP front facing camera.

This phone is only available in 16 777 216 color. The Honor 5X is much lighter than what one would think about a cellphone of this size. Talking about its construction quality, this phone is majorly manufactured with Metal . This device is only 5.96" long, but it manages to hold a 5.5" screen. This phone has a wonderful design, with a thickness of just 0.32 inches.

decided to power this cellphone using a high-tech 1500 MHz Octa-Core CPU, bundled in a Qualcomm Snapdragon 616 8939v2 system chip and a great 2 GB RAM. This phone comes with a 16 GB quite large internal memory and an external memory card slot, enough to store hundreds of apps and games without any problem.

This phone has two cameras, a 13 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 5 mega-pixels front facing camera. This phone can also film Full HD 1920x1080 videos at 30 frames per second.

equipped the Honor 5X with an astonishing 5.5" screen, and a resolution of 1080 x 1920 (Full HD), which makes all images and videos look brightful and colorful.

The Honor 5X has a 3000 mAh great Li - Ion non-removable battery providing the Honor 5X an incredibly long battery duration. An issue to take into account is that this device's battery isn't replaceable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it begins to get older, though with such a great capacity you will probably replace this device before it becomes an issue.

This device offers WiFi capability (and it can be provided to other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot), LTE 4G high performance internet connection and fast 3G connection type, supported by HSPA technologies. This phone comes with 2 Micro SIM cards so it is able to use 2 different phone lines and even different carriers in the same cellphone.

This phone also features lots of useful features such as Fingerprint Reader, Bluetooth (4.1 ), GPS (Global Positioning System) and FM Radio, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This phone is priced around 220 dollars, a very high price for comparing with other similar devices. If you want it majorly for social networks and internet browsing or are looking for a gaming cellphone, this phone is very appropiate for you.
