When Huawei decides to put out a flagship, there comes flying from the factories a few of its friends. Something large. Something small. Sometimes, some thing that’s a little mid-ranger.And that’s where we get to know the Huawei G9 over some paint-poisoned fruit and some Ferrero Rocher. Yes, we know that the US just ...

Huawei’s Honor sub-brand may have been one most Westerners didn’t even know existed until not long ago, but now that the 5X is available stateside at a crazy low price, everyone wants to hear more.Unfortunately, the even cheaper Honor 5C that Huawei just unveiled looks poised for China retail exclusivity.

How long after the debut of a major new Android release does it become acceptable that new handsets arrive with that latest software present? We’re not clueless to the realities of the software development process, and all the testing and re-testing that goes into getting a new release ready for a particular smartphone. Development pipelines are easily months, if not years long, and when a new Android version pops up just weeks before a new phone comes out, we’re not about to start making ...

Huawei’s Honor 5X emerged a few months back as a serious contender in the low-cost, solid-performance mid-range market. Sure, it wouldn’t set any benchmark records, but the combination of an attractive price, really high-quality-feeling build, and some very capable battery life added up to a package that – for shoppers placing a real premium not just on price, but on value – was hard to resist.

Honor, firmly under Huawei’s wing, has seen new land over the past several months as the 5X finally came to American shores. However, if you’re on that chunk of land looking forward to some more Honor action anytime soon, forget it. At least, for now. It seems that another Honor phone will be coming China’s way on April 13, at least according to this leaked poster.

We asked recently if 2016 will be the year of the mid-range phone. With flagship phone sales maturing, the competition at the mid-range and entry level is heating up. The most visceral battle for smartphone sales happening around the $200 threshold. Encouragingly, these devices are now packing tech which would have been bleeding edge three years ago, but often they can’t elicit the same desirability as more expensive options. Huawei is aiming to change that with the Honor 5X, clad in aluminum, and bringing some ...

Budget phones are hot right now. You can buy a lot of phone for less than $300, and there’s a sweet spot around $200 where average consumers might be hard pressed to tell the difference between entry level and upper mid-range fare.Huawei is looking to take entry level phones one step further by adding a premium aluminum finish to the Honor 5X, with specs that easily would have competed against flagship phones from three years ago, and a killer fingerprint scanner. Before we can review this budget buster though, we have to get it out of the box. Here are my first impressions of the ...

The post Huawei GX8 goes on sale stateside, but it’s probably not worth $350 appeared first on Pocketnow.
It’s easy enough to build an extremely affordable smartphone, but the trick isn’t simply undercutting everyone else on price; it’s keeping prices low while still delivering hardware that’s worth buying, with attractive specs and a compelling design. Huawei may have hit that nail right on the head with its Honor sub-brand’s new 5X, which just the other day went up for sale in the States at an incredibly attractive $200 price point. With a Snapdragon 615 under the hood, 13MP camera, and a ...
