Huawei Honor 5X – Available for Pre-Order for $199!

At CES 2016, many new gadgets were announced. However, not all of them have an availability date – the Huawei Honor 5X does.

Huawei has had the Honor line overseas (released last October) and it is now bringing the 5X here to the U.S of A. The Huawei 5X is a mid-tier phone dressed up in high end finishes. For example, the Honor 5X has a finger print sensor – there is no other device in the market under $200 that can make that claim.
