In true #forthebrave fashion, honor blows up their honor 5X with 1000 fireworks

The honor 5X from Huawei’s value added honor branch looks to offer even more value with its shiny, full-metal body, fingerprint scanner enabled features and more for below RM1000. In fact, even the most premium gold coloured version is only going for just RM939 (officially) but is it just premium looks and a few upper-end features or does it really bring enough value to it’s price tag? We find out in our full review of the honor 5X below.

The honor 5X just got announced for Malaysia yesterday and we managed to get some hands-on time with it. While it uses a different Qualcomm Snapdragon 616 processor it still offers a premium metal build with brushed metal backside. Other notable tech specs include a larger 5.5-inch full HD display, fingerprint sensor, 4G LTE connectivity and Dual SIM support. While there are still no pricing details or specific Malaysia release dates do check out the tech specs and our first impressions hands-on video with the honor 5.
