News News Blog: Honor 5X

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
HONOR claims its latest smartphone is the "most affordable premium smartphone of 2016” – and at £190, it’s difficult to disagree. The Honor 5X packs a 5.5inch 1080p display, a 13MP rear camera, 5MP selfie camera, fingerprint sensor and solid aluminium unibody design.</h3>

The Honor 5X is a stunning achievement.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Huawei-made smartphone packs an impressive 5.5inch display with a solid 401-pixels-per-inch, a 13MP rear camera, 5MP front-facing video call camera, fingerprint sensor and diamond-polished, aluminium unibody design.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And it’s priced at an uber-competitive £189.99. </div>

Honor has dubbed its latest smartphone, the "most affordable premium smartphone of 2016” – and honestly, it’s difficult to disagree with this marketing tagline.</div>

<em>NewsNewsBlog.blogspot.com</em> <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2016/02/honor-5x-launch-uk-price-release-date.html">flew out to Munich earlier this week for the European launch of the budget handset</a>. We got the chance to <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2016/02/honor-5x-launch-uk-price-release-date.html">take the Honor 5X for a spin</a>, and these are our early impressions –</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Out of the box, the Honor 5X feels <em>great</em>. The chamfered aluminium unibody feels like it belongs on a smartphone far out of the price range of the Honor 5X.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In other words, you’d never guess this was a £190 handset.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The front of the all-metal design is dominated by a 5.5inch 1080p IPS LCD, with an impressive 401-pixels-per-inch.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unlike similarly-priced competitors, like the Moto G, the Honor 5X’s display is vibrant and colourful.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Flip the smartphone over and you’ll find a 13 megapixel camera, as well as the same reliable fingerprint sensor shipped with the Huawei-made Nexus 6P. The inclusion of the fingerprint sensor is a huge deal – and one that helps the Honor 5X stand head-and-shoulders above rivals, including the OnePlus X and the Motorola Moto G.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The fingerprint sensor is reliable and lightning-fast, as it was on the Nexus 6P. And aside from the obvious security implications, Honor has tweaked its mobile OS to allow smartphone owners to assign app shortcuts to individual fingers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, for example, you can use an index finger to simply unlock your brand-new Honor 5X. Or you can use your middle finger to unlock the smartphone and immediately launch your favourite messenger, like WhatsApp.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
There’s a multitude of possibilities, from quickly launching the camera app, to speed dialling your nearest and dearest – up to five different shortcuts can be programmed for five different fingerprints.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Power users might find this software feature a useful time saver, but the average customer will just enjoy the ease and security of using a fingerprint to secure their smartphone. Honor says its rear-mounted fingerprint sensor gets more accurate over time, although we haven’t spent enough time with the device to verify that.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Honor 5X has a 13MP rear camera with a f/2.0 aperture and 28mm wide-angle lens. It'll turn out a solid photo in good light conditions, but things quickly deteriorates when the sun sets. But that’s OK, most flagship smartphones struggle in low-light conditions – and let’s not lose sight of the fact that this is a £190 smartphone.</div>

The Honor 5X, available in a choice of either Gold, Silver or Grey, also has a 5MP front-facing camera for your video calls and selfies. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It also supports dual SIM cards, one nano-SIM and one micro-SIM, which is sure to appeal to frequent flyers. Internal storage is a little disappointing at 16GB, but the Huawei-made smartphone lets you expand that to up to 128GB via microSD card. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But by far the biggest problem with the Honor 5X is the operating system.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Out of the box, the Honor 5X – which is powered by a 1.5 GHz Qualcomm SnapDragon 616 processor and 2GB of RAM – runs Android 5.1 Lollipop, smothered by the Emotion User Interface, dubbed EMUI 3.1.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This heavy-handed Android skin is clearly inspired by Apple’s iOS. Stock app icons look like rejected proposals by the intern in Sir Jony Ive’s design studio, and the Android App Drawer has been removed – leaving smartphone owners to carefully sort and arrange installed apps on the Home Screen.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Android’s handy notification and quick settings dropdown has been separated into two panels, one for a chronological look back at your app activity, and another for a selection of shortcuts to settings. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s undoubtedly clunky – not to mention, unsightly. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fortunately, smartphone owners can install a third-party launcher, like Nova, Apex or Google Now, to help strip back the worst of the EMUI 3.1 interface. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You’ll still have to put-up with the problematic notifications dropdown, but that might be a small price to pay for this otherwise staggeringly good budget smartphone.</div>

Honor 5X was launched in Europe at a press conference in Munich, Germany earlier today.</div>

The latest Huawei-built smartphone sports a diamond-polished, aluminium unibody design that Honor says was inspired by the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dubbed "the most affordable premium smartphone of 2016", it's true the Honor 5X has some impressive specs, especially for a smarpthone with a £189 price tag.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Powering the smartphone is a 1.5 GHz Qualcomm SnapDragon 616 processor and 2GB of RAM. Frustratingly, the Honor 5X doesn’t ship with Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Out of the box, the Huawei-made smartphone runs Android 5.1 Lollipop.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You might struggle to recognise Google’s hugely-popular operating system here, thanks to Honor’s all-encompassing Emotion User Interface, dubbed EMUI 3.1. Amongst the latest tweaks to Honor’s EMUI 3.1 are a new one-handed mode, time lapse mode for the camera</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Internal storage is a measly 16GB, but the Honor 5X supports expandable storage via microSD up to 128GB.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Honor 5X packs a 3,000mAh battery, which the company claims will keep you up-and-running for a full work day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Charging and syncing is handled over microUSB. While that’s not as future-proof as USB Type-C, it’ll surely come as a relief to those with microUSB cables littered around the house and office.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The Honor 5X is a no-nonsense smartphone that delivers all the essentials digital natives want and need in a device,” said George Zhao, president of Honor. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We designed the Honor 5X to be an extension of the personalities of its users – cool, stylish and iconic – and integrated innovative technology to give a superior connected experience, all at an affordable price.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Since its founding two years ago, the Honor brand has seen extraordinary growth by focusing on the online market and bringing digital natives devices that suit their digital lifestyles.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“That success led to expansion beyond China and we are thrilled that the Honor 5X will be available in Europe, the Americas and Asia/Pacific.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
