The smartphone world is populated with lots of devices that range from all kinds of prices possible, usually based on the specs and features the pack.
It has become a tradition for smartphone buyers to look for specs of phones when getting new handsets. However, today’s buyers are demanding for more than just specs. Most buyers will want cool features and premium looks to come on top of these specs, in addition to an affordable price tag. Well, if you are one of these buyers, there is something great in the Huawei Honor 5X. You will be surprised at how this phone can be when compared to other devices in its price range.
Chitchat aside; here are five great things that will make you want to buy the Huawei Honor 5X right away. Just as a heads-up, Huawei is the Chinese company that was behind the making of the 2015 Google Nexus 6P.
Affordable price
The Huawei Honor 5X is currently available in the U.S. for just $199.99. Scan around and you’ll struggle to replace the Honor 5X as far as the price and spec combination is concerned.
Premium design
A first look at the Honor 5X will tell you straight that this device belongs to the premium world. The phone has one of those eye-catching sleek metal designs that feature aluminum rather than the plastic that many of the devices in the same category as the 5X come with. It gets even better when holding the phone in your hand as it feels good with its CNC chamfered edges.
A decent 3000mAh battery unit
Battery life is a very crucial thing when it comes to buying smartphones. No one wants a phone that requires frequent charging in order to keep it going through a day. Instead, people want phones with battery units that can last more than a day without recharging. The Huawei Honor 5X is one such phone thanks to its 3000mAh battery unit. Huawei also added SmartPower 3.0 technology that helps cut down the power consumption by a massive 30%.
Fast fingerprint scanner
Before even going on the speed of the fingerprint scanner, the fact that the Huawei Honor 5X has a fingerprint sensor is just a huge plus for the company. It is rare to find a phone that costs just $199.99 yet it’s equipped with a fingerprint sensor. Now, coming to the speed of the sensor, the FPC sensor is fast enough to unlock the Honor 5X in under o.5 seconds.
It gets even better with this sensor as it is an adaptive one. This means that it will become smarter and much better at doing its job with continuous usage.
Decent spec sheet
For a stylish, lightweight phone that is priced at just $200 and is classified as a mid-ranger, the Huawei Honor 5X still rocks when it comes to specs. The phone is a 5.5-inch phablet with IPS LCD display screen that manages a resolution of 1080 by 1920 pixels, which converts to a pixel density of 400ppi.
Under the hood, the 5X packs a 64-bit octa-core Snapdragon 616 chipset that includes an Adreno 405 GPU. These are supported by a RAM of 3GB while the storage is just 16GB, although it can be expanded using a microSD card of up to 128GB. The Honor 5X is a dual-SIM smartphone and is powered by the Android 5.1 Lollipop, which might be a little disappointing to some who’d wish to have Android Marshmallow. The good thing is that Huawei will be availing the latter OS to this device.
As far as the camera is concerned, Huawei Honor 5X has a 13MP snapper on the rear that comes with a dual-LED flash and has an aperture of f/2.0. Other features include face detection, touch to focus, Autofocus as well as Geo-tagging. The selfie cam has a 5MP sensor.
