Huawei's latest attempt to break into the US market comes by way of the Honor smartphone brand, specifically the Honor 5X. David thought it was pretty good for $200, and now you're mere days away from coming to your own conclusion. The Honor 5X goes on sale January 31st (Sunday) for $200.The Honor 5X will be available first on Amazon and Newegg. Huawei would previously only say that the 5X was due to launch at the end of the month, and they're technically living up to that promise... just barely. The metal body of the Honor 5X packs a Snapdragon 615, 2GB of RAM, a solid 13MP camera, and a rear-facing fingerprint scanner.The software situation is not awesome with Android 5.1 and the EMUI skin. A Marshmallow update is supposed to arrive later. Maybe that will improve things, but even now you'll still be hard-pressed to find a better deal on a phone for $200. Newegg is also offering a free 32GB microSD card when you buy an Honor 5X.
