Hi there, this is chintu and today i'll be doing the review for this honor 5X which is sort of a midrange entry level android device from Huawei. And this unit sells in India for Rs.12, 999 and is available both on amazon and flipkart. And I have been testing this device since last couple of weeks now.
And before I give you my review, pros and cons of this device lets have a specs overview:
Snapdragon 616(64bit)
1.5ghz octacore(cortex A53)
2GB RAM
5.5” 1080p HD IPS screen
Andreno 405GPU
16GB Internal storage
Dual sim with Micro SD card upto 128GB
13MP Rear+ 5MP front
3000mAh Battery
Fingerprint scanner
OVERVIEW: Honor 5x is powered by the new snapdragon 616 chipset which is a octa core processor based on ARM cortex A53 architecture. It sports a 5.5” 1080p screen, it has the Andreno 405 GPU along with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of Internal memory and an expandability with Micro SD card up to 128GB. Camera is paired with 13MP back and 5MP front shooter. It also has a Fingerprint Scanner and a 3000mAh Battery which is sealed inside.
REVIEW: Honor 5x comes with very decent specs and has that new snapdragon 616 chipset. I would not say that Snapdragon 616 is vastly superior to its younger sibling Snapdragon 615 but it doesn’t get as hot as snapdragon 615 used to and the battery life is also very good. The build quality and over all seems to be pretty solid as it is made up of metal. And the full metal unibody design does provide good grip to the hand. And at this price it’s a good buy but Lettv Leco 1s makes up a great deal than this at Rs1000 cheaper.
CONS:
The Emotion UI is quite bloaty and heavy which makes the phone a bit slow at times.
The loudspeaker is a bit tiny.
The rear camera performance under low and artificial lighting turns out to be quite poor.
At this price 3GB RAM could have been better as RAM Management is not that good in the phone.
And also there is the lack of some sensors in the device like gyroscope and magnetometer.
At this price there is no support for USB OTG Functionality which is a shame for any device at this price point.
PROS:
Battery life from the 300mAh cell is nothing short of incredible as I only needed to charge the device once in every 1.5 to 2 days even after heavy use.
The 1080p display is a gorgeous one with excellent viewing angles.
The snapdragon 616 chipset makes the phone a performer.
The gaming performance is just as smooth as butter in most cases.
The build quality is decent.
Very nice in hand feel.
The cellular call quality is also excellent and the calls were crystal clear. P.S:- Hope this review was helpful to you if any doubts feel free to leave them in the comment section below. I’ll be glad to answer you guys. THANK YOU
