If your interest was piqued by the aggressively priced mid-range competitor the Honor 5X yesterday, then you will be glad to hear that you can already place your pre-order on either Amazon or Newegg. Both sites have all three colors for $199 with an expected ship date of January 31st.
While it is unquestionably a mid-range device, the Honor 5X does offer a number of features that to date have been reserved for higher end devices. Two of the big highlights are the all-metal construction as well as the fingerprint scanner on the back. A 5.5-inch screen isn’t unheard of in this range and it is 1080p rather than the higher resolutions we’ve been seeing lately, but many people are perfectly happy with that resolution.
As for the rest of the internals the camera is a respectable f/2.4 13MP and a 64-bit octa-core Snapdragon 615 with 2GB of RAM should be plenty to keep things running smoothly on that 1080p screen.
The Honor 5X is launching with Android 5.1, but a rapid update to Marshmallow is in the works.
