Android Police Says the Price of the Honor 5X Makes it Hard to Ignore

[Endda]

Android Police just published their hands on initial impressions of the Honor 5X. They love the price point and feel the hardware matches or exceeds what you would expect from a $200 smartphone.

Performance was a little spotty for them but getting a metal phone with a 5.5" 1080p display and a fingerprint scanner is pretty hard to do right now and Honor nails it.

This phone is 100% worth the $200 they are asking. Also when the devs dig into it and we get custom roms it will be flawless. I thoroughly enjoy the hardware and the EMUI 3.1 isn't terrible with a launcher on top but there are a few holes in the software if I am honest. I am certain the Huawei devs will be on it as we have already had ferquent updates so far.

I keep starting at "this is a good phone" but when considering the price and the potential it has with a better running EMUI or holy cow AOSP it's pretty exciting.
