Honor 5X price in Malaysia starts from RM449, putting it in budget territory with hardware that was solid for its 2015 release. It runs on a Snapdragon 615 chipset paired with Adreno 405 graphics, backed by either 2GB or 3GB of RAM depending on the variant. The 5.5-inch IPS LCD display runs at full HD resolution with 401 ppi, sharp enough for reading text and watching video without much softness.
On the back sits a 13MP camera with autofocus and LED flash, plus a 5MP front camera for basic selfies. There's a fingerprint sensor too, which wasn't a given at this price point back then. Storage comes in at 16GB, but a microSD slot takes you up to 128GB more if you need the room.
Battery capacity is 3000 mAh, non-removable, and the phone weighs 158g at 8.2mm thick. It ships with dual SIM support and runs Android 5.1.1 Lollipop with EMUI 3.1 layered on top. Colour options are White, Black, and Gold.
