      We think so as well, Diego. Thank you for the excellent review. We think that for the price the 5X can't be beat. With the great fingerprint sensor, Full HD display and 13MP camera, believe you will continue to enjoy the 5X for a long time to come. (DM) HuaweiCustomerCare

    not a great phone

    This phone has nice features and build quality but has bad performance. First, this phone has SEVERE echo problems when making internet calls such as Skype or Google Hangouts. The echo is so bad that my friend and i returned our Honor 5x phones. Our other phones do not have this problem. Second, the phone is laggy due to the user interface and takes forever to boot. Honor (Huawei) needs to address these 2 issues ..

      We're terribly sorry to hear that you're not pleased with the build and performance of the Honor 5X. We'll definitely forward your comment to our development team as we're always looking to improve our products. Also, we can't speak on third-party applications, like Skype or Google Hangouts. If you're having issues within their app, we advise that you contact their customer service team for assistance. If your 5X is laggy, we advise shutting off your phone for 15-20 seconds. This should refresh your phone. If these tips don't help, please give our Huawei Support Team a call at 1-888-548-2934. (ED) HuaweiCustomerCare

      Sorry to hear that, Mircealele. Lets try a master reset to see if that helps the connectivity issue. Hold both the power button and volume button down simultaneously until the device vibrates (about 30-40 seconds). Once the device powers back on, follow the reboot instructions as they appear on the screen. Please keep in mind that the master reset will remove any previously stored info so it is important to backup all your data prior to preforming this step. If you are still experiencing any issues after a master reset, please contact our support team at 1-844-524-6667 for further assistance. We are here to help. HuaweiCustomerCare

    Speaker phone quality is poor

    Sound was fading in and out while I was placed on hold by the other end when using the speaker phone. I can't even hear what the other end was playing. Otherwise, the phone is okay.

    When listening to a call on the handset or speaker phone the sound is very tinny and not loud compared to my previous Nexus and Samsung. Very disappointed and unhappy..

      Hello, thank you for your question. The Huawei Honor 5X includes a 12-month warranty from date of purchase. Sometimes the device will get hot if you are charging it while it is "in use". We highly recommend not using the device when it is charging to avoid overheating. Note: Your phone is provided with Huawei's unique overheat protection. When your phone is overheated, it will limit the charging circuit. You can close some applications such as video and games, or power off your phone. After your phone's temperature decreases, your phone can be charged properly. If you have any questions, you can contact our knowledgeable Huawei Customer Support team at +1-844-524-6667 for more information regarding your Honor 5X device. (NS) HuaweiCustomerCare
