Price last checked: 26 Jan 2019. Confirm current price before buying.
Honor 5A price in Malaysia starts from RM558, putting it firmly in entry-level territory. Inside is a Mediatek MT6735P chipset paired with just 2GB RAM and 16GB storage, though a dedicated microSD slot lets you add up to 128GB more. The 5.0-inch IPS LCD screen runs at 720 x 1280 resolution, which works out to around 294 ppi, sharp enough for everyday use at this size.
On the imaging side, you get a 13MP rear camera with autofocus and dual-LED flash, plus a 5MP front camera with its own LED flash for low-light selfies. Video tops out at 1080p30, standard for a phone in this bracket.
Battery capacity sits at 2200mAh, modest by today's standards but reasonable given the compact 140g body and 9mm thickness. It ships with Android 5.1 Lollipop under Honor's EMUI 3.1 skin, and you'll find dual SIM support with 4G LTE connectivity for calls and data on the go.
