    I purchased this phone for my nine year old son. I was looking for something durable with enough memory to download his games. He absolutely loved it and it's turned out to be a great phone. I highly recommend given the price and features and would purchase again. Thank you to the helpful salesman at Best Buy for recommending this phone.

      Hello, we're sorry to hear about your experience with the Huawei Honor 5X. The Honor 5X is one of our most popular smartphone for under $200. It is designed with a sleek, robust housing crafted from diamond-polished aluminum alloy, normally reserved for aircraft. We always recommend purchasing a protective case for the device to avoid accidental bends, drops, and scratches. To avoid cracks or bends, it's best to keep the device in a front pocket. We appreciate the feedback. (NS) HuaweiCustomerCare

    A mobile with dual 4G SIM, which is the best out of honor. A well recommended one those who look to have dual standby/active. Very solid built, good camera, explandable storage + 2 sim slots (not hybrid slots so need not to sacrifice space for sim/mem card). Good battery life, lasts about 40 hrs a charge with fair usage.

      Thanks for sharing! The Honor 5X is the first Honor metallic phone to feature three different card slots: nano-SIM, micro-SIM, and microSD. This offers improved compatibility over dual nano-SIM solutions. (Full SIM compatibility: A 4G SIM card can be inserted into either of the SIM card slots.) Enjoy a battery life that lasts 1.46 days with moderate use and over a day with heavy use. (NS) HuaweiCustomerCare

    After researching this phone and seeing such rave reviews, it does not live up to the expectation. Even after transferring apps to the SD card, it is extremely laggy and freezes.

    This has turned out to be a beautiful phone that exceeded my expectations. Just recently upgraded to Android Marshmallow. I replaced an iPhone 4s with this phone and added a 128gb memory card. I get basically the same functionality (as far as I am concerned) as an iPhone at a fraction of the price. Very happy.

    The Honor 5x is a decent phone for the price. If you can look past the EMUI and 2GB or RAM the phone is perfect for the selling price. I would recommend switching the launcher to the Google Now launcher, but I am more partial to a stock Android experience. I do have issues with SMS messages, they appear to work when only when the phone decides . Also, the hold button while on a call is in the most inconvenient place possible. If you can afford to spend the extra cash on a higher end phone, but if this is the price point you are working with. The phone it great.
