A possible Huawei Honor 5X has been spotted early this month right at the very beginning, where the question now needs to be asked – is it the same as that of the Huawei Honor Play 5X? That remains to be seen, of course, but I suppose we will all find out the truth this coming October 10th, which is where a Huawei event will be held. In fact, Huawei has already sent out invitations for a media event that will be held on that day, and in this particular event, one can expect to check out the Huawei Honor Play 5X if it is introduced formally.
This particular device has been certified by Chinese regulator TENAA, where it will in all probability, not reside in the high end side of things, but rather, be considered to be a low to mid-range model. So far, pricing availability remains as tightly guarded as national secrets (an assumption here since nothing about pricing has been heard of until now), although whispers on the street point to the possibility of $160 thereabouts, give or take a few dollars.
Other rumored hardware specifications point to a rather beefy 4,000mAh battery, a 5” display at 720 x 1280 resolution, a MediaTek MT6735 chipset with a quad-core 1.3GHz CPU and a Mali-T720 GPU, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory, a 13MP camera at the back with a 5MP selfie shooter, and Android 5.1 right out of the box.
