The selling price is as enticing as we’d expect from HUAWEI’s budget line: $199 gets you a choice of gray, silver, and gold and features we typically see on more expensive phones. Highlights include the fingerprint reader, a metallic construction, a nice 5.5-inch Full HD screen, a Snapdragon 616 processor, and a 13MP camera. While HUAWEI’s reputation for Android updates is rather poor, the HONOR line is faring better. A Marshmallow update for the HONOR 5X is coming “soon,” according to company reps. Check out our full review.

We’ve seen the HONOR 5X go for as little as $160 on Amazon, but that was a limited time deal. And for $200, you still get a hell of a phone.
