Editor Rating
2.6/5

Honor X5 is easily one of the most affordable smartphones that you can get from the popular Chinese brand. It features a simple and sleek body, solid build quality and an understated design. You get a lightweight plastic body and frame construction, which helps keep the weight and price down. The rear panel has been given a matte finish with a minimalist theme. The camera module has been trimmed down to look like a compact curved square with a glossy black finish that contrasts nicely with the rear panel. On the front, you get a bright display, with a tear drop camera cutout for the selfie unit that sits on the top center.

Bottom Line

Honor X5 is a decent entry-level smartphone that has an average display and processor, barely usable cameras, and a large but slow-charging battery to keep it all going.
