Honor 5X announced. A mid-range 5.5″ phablet with a premium design

Huawei isn’t the only brand that’s going premium. Its online sub-brand honor is also following closely with the release of another unibody metal design smart phone. Introduced as the honor 5X, it shares similar design cues as the honor 7 flagship. Seen as the replacement of the honor 4X, the 5X gets a large 5.5″ screen that does Full HD resolution.

Instead of a home grown Kirin processor, the Honor 5X runs on a mid-range Snapdragon 616 Octa-Core processor that’s mated with either 2GB or 3GB of RAM. On-board it has 16GB of storage which can be expanded via a dedicated microSD slot. This is good news for dual-SIM card users that prefer to use both SIM cards and microSD storage at the same time.

Like the honor 7, it gets a fingerprint scanner at the back which unlocks instantly within 0.5 seconds. For imaging, it gets a 13MP f/2.0 main camera with dual-LED flash, while the front gets a 5MP f/2.4 shooter. Keeping the lights on is a decent 3,000mAh capacity battery which supports Quick Charge 3.0.

In China, the 2GB RAM version is price at 999 CNY (about RM671), while the 3GB RAM is priced at 1,399 CNY (about RM940). This looks like a worthy alternative to the Redmi Note 2 which is going to be launched officially in Malaysia next week.
