The Huawei Honor 4X which was launched last year was a successful device in India and the company has now launched the successor, the Honor 5X in India. The Honor 5X is a big upgrade from the previous generation and comes with good specs which makes it a decent mid range phone. The new Honor 5X sports a 5.5 inch Full HF (1920 X 1080p) display and is powered by the Snapdragon 616 Octa core 64bit processor (1.7 GHz Cortex A53 and quad-core 1.2 GHz A53) with 2GB of RAM.
The phone has Adreno 405 GPU and it comes with 16GB internal storage which is expandable via micro SD card.
On the rear panel, the Honor 5X sports a fingerprint sensor built on Huawei’s latest sensor tech and this allows you to unlock the device in just 0.4s. On the imaging front, the device comes with a 13MP camera with dual LED flash and a front-facing 5MP snapper for selfies. The Honor 4X was a good device in the camera department and we expect the Honor 5X to have some good photography abilities.
The phone also packs 3000mAh battery and it supports Quick Charge 3.0, allowing you to charge up to 50% of the battery in just 30 minutes. The Honor 5X will have a dual SIM card slots with dual standby mode as well as 4G LTE on both slots. The device runs Android 5.1.1 with custom EMUI from Huawei.
Here is a quick hands-on with the device.
The device is priced Rs 12,999 and will be available on Flipkart and Amazon starting February.
