    im just really hoping they dont get sold out then resold for insane prices....cus thats pretty much what happened with the one plus one, if you go on the website the "affordable flag ship killers" are always out of stock, unless you get their top level models which are like 400$+.... and even when they do come back in stock, they get sold out again in like 24 hours...

    and with all the hype and the fact that the honor 5x is just an amazing phone, tbh i feel like it will be sold out and resold just like the one plus one :(

    I've been doing a ton of research online, the closest i think is the moto g3, but i think the honor 5x is still the better phone...i looked up the specs and stuff, and here's some basic comparison...

    honor has metal build, but moto g is water resistant
    honor has bigger and nicer screen, but moto g is scratch resistant..
    cameras are compareable, honor has apeture, moto g3 has hdr....

    though honor has better processor and can expand 4 times more memory sd card space.
