The recent CES 2016 saw a number of new devices and smartphones being announced and the upcoming honor 5X was one of the top picks from various tech media. This included Android Central, Gotta Be Mobile, Tom's Guide, PC Mag.com, PhoneArena.com, CRN.com and Android Authority. While there is still no official Malaysia pricing just yet, the honor 5X is due for its Malaysia debut next week on 26 January 2016. Currently, the honor 5X offers tech specs that include a full metal build, fingerprint sensor, 5.5-inch full HD display, 13MP rear camera and more for just $199 (RM853). Check out what these media had to say about the honor 5X below:
At $199.99 unlocked, Huawei's Honor 5X looks like an amazing value. With its all-metal body, sharp main camera, 5.5-inch screen and fingerprint sensor, it feels like a $350 phone. In fact, it's very similar to Huawei's own $349 GX8. Squint a little, and it looks just as nice as $500-$600 phones like LG's G4 and Huawei's Mate 8. We've seen several intriguing phones here at CES, from an Android-powered flip phone to a screaming-fast Chinese phablet, but the incredible value for money here means the Honor 5X is the one most likely to push the U.S. market forward, breaking Americans away from their carriers' lineups, and opening them up to the huge world’of unlocked phones. – Sascha Segan, PC Mag.com
‘It's hard to find a better smartphone value. For $199, the Honor 5X from Huawei packs a vibrant 5.5-inch display, a useful fingerprint sensor and a generously sized battery into a solid metal body. You can assign specific shortcuts to each finger that you lay on the sensor, so calling your favorite contact is as easy as putting your finger on your phone. Security features, such as Privacy Protected, hide your sensitive pics, apps and messages from prying eyes. Plus, the 13-megapixel rear camera and 5-MP front camera are great additions for the price.’ - Tom's Guide CES 2016 Awards: Best Smartphone: Honor 5X
