Carrying forward from the success of the Honor series, Huawei today launched the Honor 5X in India. The new Honor 5X is a stark departure from previous-gen devices as it comes with a premium metal build and a fingerprint sensor, priced at Rs. 12,999.

But its not all about specs here, the Honor 5X builds on its predecessor with far better build and premium features at a budget price.

Pricing has always been the key selling point in India but coupled with excellent hardware including a 5.5-inch 1080p display, octa-core Snapdragon 616, 2GB RAM, 16GB expandable storage and a rather large 3000 mAh battery, the Honor 5X is surely a device worth considering.
