[Honor 5X Real Life Review] Mirror-Mirror:
Bad scrolling LAG and POOR BAT life caused me to closet the Honor 5X and return to my trusty MATE HAM 2.

"BUT" to my utter surprise and relief, the latest D351 update completely eliminated those disasters and now I am finally thrilled to have this handset as a main Go-To mobile phone.

I was so close to throwing it away and chalk up as a waste too. Happy to see all was not lost after all.

Huawei needs to get the lead out because delays that linger turn users elsewhere many times for good.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] AtaliaKetch:
Extremely bad. Huawei should focus on their software part. It stinks! Extremely poor performing software. On EMUI 4 running MM, I experienced usual stutters, phone stuck in middle of processing, laggy UI. But thanks to custom ROM developers, I am able to refresh my device.

Out of 10 scores, I will score it 4/10.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
Is that score for custom rom? :(
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] AtaliaKetch:
Oh no no! That rating was for EMUI. Custom ROMs rock! :p
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
Oh , u replied so quick. This shows ur enthusiasm towards custom roms. Cheers
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] hassanjavaid8181:
even after latest emui update scrolling smoothness is not there
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] chrisleLP:
Smoothness is moderate.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] alimir98:
at emui scrolling smoothness is not good.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] itisiryan:
Silky smooth.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] shashank1320:
Aokp and CrDroid provided best experience but stock had some lagginess while scrolling
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] itisiryan:
RR for me provide the best smoothness
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] jackching:
I found most of the problem being with f2fs partitions. Once i changed data and cache back to ext4, no more choppiness.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] hassanjavaid8181:
thats strange because when i change mine to f2fs difference was really noticeable.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:
Some phones are great to take camping because if you play Asphalt 8 long enough, the back warms up to the ideal temperature that can bake bread. Rate this thread to express the extent to which the honor 5X stays cool under extended heavy use. A higher rating indicates that even when playing strenuous games for long periods of time, the phone doesn't get uncomfortably warm.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] prateek57:
In normal conditions its at comfortable temperatures.....but during charging and heavy usage like playing nfs shift etc. It does heat up too much(atleast for me)
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] venom007:
it tends to warm a lil bit while charging and playing heavy games, bt no overheating so far :D
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] Puddi_Puddin:
Gets hot no overheat yet..
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] itsrustlife:
The phone since I've had it (bought it 1 month after the release, and 1 week after they changed from SD 615 to 616) has never overheated or been too hot to the point where it was uncomfortable to use. It is normal for the phone to get a LITTLE warm, a LITTLE, when you first plug it in to charge, but then the heat is transferred over to the power brick while charging. When I use the phone for some heavy gaming and heavy multi-tasking, it only warms up a little where it can be pretty good in a cold environment where it serves as a hand warmer. And I use a DWay 2 layer rubber/plastic case on it all the time, even with it on, it has never had any overheating issues.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] vsriram92:
Very controlled compared to other devices. But on heavy gaming, feeling the heat on fingerprint sensor the most..
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] jkccl9:
Not too bad when gaming
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] krispy321:
Does heated up usually with games and multitasking
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] venom007:
decrease the number of protected apps
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] jkccl9:
Gaming heats up all phones
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
Never been too hot for me.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] AtaliaKetch:
Gets easily heated when using mild CPU intensive apps. But thanks to its metal back, the head conduction is pretty good enabling it to quickly radiate heat.

Out of 10 scores, I will score it 8/10 (Considering how it radiates heat)
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
It does heatsup in several instances . But am a normal user so i rarely sense the heat only if remove back case
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] hassanjavaid8181:
it generates normal heat while gaming
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] chrisleLP:
Little to no heating.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] alimir98:
heated up while gaming.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] itisiryan:
A little heat while charging.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] shashank1320:
Heats up which charging and playing heavy games for more than 10-15 minutes or even using cpu intensive app for sometime.

Phone is 20 months old now so no complaint now :good:
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] cameraz:
My Honor 5X heats up incredibly hot when I have it plugged into my Audi and am using Android Auto. In fact, I was using the Waze app and the phone got so hot that it shut off and I couldn't restart it for about an hour.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] hassanjavaid8181:
Which side of you phone heats up??

Battery on board??
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] itisiryan:
What's your EMUI version and build number?
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] cameraz:
I believe the back side of the phone is heating up. Of course the battery is on board, where else would it be?

Note: I do have a thin rubber case on the phone.

---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 PM ----------

My EMUI version is: 4.0

Risolto problema surriscaldamento honor5x english

Boys I have made some changes to avoid overheating the results are excellent in deep sleep the temperature is around 20 - 23 degrees, for daily use 30 -35 degrees and for intensive use 50 -60 degrees. The changes are simple to perform if you are practical you will need 6 plates of aluminum recovered from classic Intel heat sink with round fan, thermal paste with silver base even the least expensive and the smallest possible quantity preferably in syringe with the small tip, Nail file to perform lapping ie sanding in order to make the plates thinner possible because the space is very narrow. tweezers, small brush with a small painting tip and smartphone repair kit. Procedure: remove the rear body with the kit to dismount the phones to see how to disassemble the honor 5x step by step search the web teardown honor 5x OK, after you do this remove the motherboard removing the screws one by one avoiding to cut the cross cut of the screw once disassembled remove the motherboard and with a tweezers open the cover located at the bottom PS around the plate you will find some holes gently raised from there the plate hole for hole making a little game with the tweezers once opened in its compartment you will find the processor to the left and right the memory nand, to apply the plates that will be lapped and thinned first of all with a nail clipper cut the plate that divides them from one side and then the other take the thermal paste and apply a pin on both I recommend not too much a tip help yourself with a brush a lot or as small as those used to paint, after which place the plates with the help of tweezers and a cotton swab clean the remainder that comes out from the sides then close the compartment. then on the side of the screen where the motherboard is resting there is a square where there is a bad thermal pad remove it and put in its place a plate with the thermal paste and in sequence next to another fact this put a tip of thermal paste on the same plates and screwed the motherboard as it was first screwed up now you will have to face you the other side of the board on the left open the body and you will have inside the square under the skeleton the GPU cut to size a plate thinner truncate the square on 2 points raised without breaking it applied the thermal paste and the plate cut to measure down the square and close again. take back the body back and play and now have your honor and an ice lolly PS I personal mind exaggerating a bit I created 8 holes on the rear body on the right side where the battery is located so that the battery does not overheat the temperature for those who want to know it does not exceed 30 degrees and deep sleep all with custom rom lineage os 14 and kernel hot dog 5.4
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] ex4722:
Overheating

Even rebooting will cause a slight overheating and using anything for 10 or more minutes will cause heat. Charging is very hot and anything like clash royal for 20 minutes will cause uncomfortable heat.

Poor quality even it has a 13mp shooter.

But if you use flash it gives you decent shots.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] vsriram92:
Struggles a little bit.

Having screen flash to make our face bright for front camera. So good at this price point.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] venom007:
camera is worse at low light, pictures looks grainy :rolleyes:

Camera settings

We're terribly sorry that you're not pleased with the Honor 5X's camera in low light. We advise that you turn on the flash before you take a picture to help improve the lighting. To turn the flash on, please go to to the top left of the camera app and select the flash icon. You can also adjust your images in "Image adjustment" by going to the camera settings within the camera app. If these troubleshooting steps don't help, please give our Honor Support Team a call at 1-844-524-6667.

[Honor 5X Real Life Review] amiah:
Most cameras have noise, just make sure you change the ISO in settings from auto to 800. Also get the Photoshop express app and retouch the images you like. Also keep the camera still or rest it on a chair or table for a better shot.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] venom007:
changing iso also dosent make much improvement to low light photo. details looks washed out.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] amiah:
Yes but it captures more detail. Afterward try a retouching program to help adjust the quality. ISO should be low for more sharpness but you lose detail. It low light you need ISO to be high to capture more detail since it's too dark.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] venom007:
yeah :svetius:
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] PalakMi:
Great tips :good:

[Honor 5X Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
Somewhat bad at shooting low light.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] shashank1320:
Not so good but not bad either. You cannot ask for Honor 8 quality in Honor 5x
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] hassanjavaid8181:
not good in low light..
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] shashank1320:
Agreed bro
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] chrisleLP:
Low light, no. This phone is not for low light captures.

here are some samples

[Honor 5X Real Life Review] Mister B:
zoom focus is appalling in function. hardware probably all good enough and purely poor software !

Lack of updates addressing this is my biggest annoyance with Huawei. They happy ignore it and just spend the resources on pushing next device .
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] jkccl9:
Low light photos are bad as well
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] Mister B:
I would cut them some slack on low level shots but good light and poor focus response is ridiculous, should of been resolved in updates but no .
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] jkccl9:
rip their updates
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
13 mp shooter really does its job, :)
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] krispy321:
Love the front cam
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
Photo quality is really superb.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] Wyratt:
The quality is decent, all things considered. However I've been having a lot of problems with the focus. It regularly drifts completely out of focus and then slowly (over the next 30 seconds to a minute) drifts back. Tapping to focus does nothing in this case. It's really irritating when I'm shooting video. I don't know if it's a hardware or software problem, but I suspect the AF unit is on the fritz.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] Fdraco10:
How can I improve a better quality on photos, I see that photo is really bad on ambiental light
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] Fdraco10:
On the picture there is so much noise on low light
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] Fdraco10:
Oh ok! Thanks!
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
Reduced noise ? If soo use a headset then
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] adriansticoid:
Bro. It's not with the sound. It's with the pictures.

I thought its video:rolleyes:
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] Deleted member 6870501:
I had this problem with my Oneplus One a while back. All my low-light photos had terrible color and noise. However it was fixed when I flashed a rom with a custom camera hal (color os hal to be specific) and it was a night and day difference. Colors were spot-on, noise was almost completely gone in low-light. The camera app itself also seems to have a big role in picture quality. If it wasn't for the oneplus one having the same camera hardware as China's oppofind7 phone (which runs color os), the corporation wouldn't have made an effort to create the color os camera hal. So its kind of a unique situation I guess.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] adriansticoid:
This is unique indeed. This should be a lesson to Oneplus that they still have a lot more to improve.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] JT-on:
I'm getting frustrated with the sample in the viewfinder looking better than the final photo. Normally, the viewfinder looks crisp, in-focus, vibrant. The final photo is duller and slightly blurry. I often retake the photo a few times to get something acceptable. Anyone else?
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
Happens for all. Thats actuall i doubt why happening:rolleyes:
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] AtaliaKetch:
Photo quality is superb for its price range.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] krispy321:
Low light performance could have been better
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] adriansticoid:
Really?
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] AtaliaKetch:
F2.0 at around $200 is a not a common feature.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
It wasn't good eigther. While its rivals having f1.8
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] AtaliaKetch:
I bought this phone in January 2017. At that time, for a price tag of USD $200 it was the only phone I could grab with camera carrying F2.0. Surely, now Honor 5x is succeeded by other phones easily.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
Yes , my 5x still takes decent photos over others
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] adriansticoid:
If you wanted beter camera, you should've taken Honor 6X instead.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] AtaliaKetch:
6X was $300 back then in my country. I did not want to spend more than $200.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] adriansticoid:
Alright then.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
Can i know which country u are from ? I see amazon.com has international shipping
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] AtaliaKetch:
Pakistan. They do ship to Pakistan but our customs implement their charges from 50% to 100% of item's value.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
That's really painful.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] sniperlife:D:
The quality is actually pretty close to my honor 8. :D
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
True bro. I see 5x giving better quality pics as it has F: 1.8 where honor 8 has F:2.2
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] sniperlife:D:
Ooohhh that's why.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
I hope u will feel the difference
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] sniperlife:D:
It's hard to see in some environments.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
Its hard. But give it a shot
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] shashank1320:
It is good compared to others in this price bracket when it was launched. We have better phones now but it was ine of the best last year when launched
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] hassanjavaid8181:
its good..
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] chrisleLP:
Quality is sub par.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] alimir98:

Pretty nice bit rate for a phone this much cheap. Although, it should have least come with software stabilizer.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] sniperlife:D:
Video quality is good. Up to par with most phones.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] shashank1320:
Not bad at all
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
Why do u mean?
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] shashank1320:
Means video quality was not bad at all on 5X considering the price
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] shashank1320:
Exactly mate you mentioned it right
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] hassanjavaid8181:
video quality is good.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] chrisleLP:
At 13MP, the video quality takes medium quality.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] alimir98:

[Honor 5X Real Life Review] Puddi_Puddin:
Other then looking like a Japanse Anime character.. Without those filters i would give it a 7.5. When its dark a 4
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] vsriram92:
There is a beauty slider. Set it to 3 or 5, you will get good quality of your face. Some ppl try to keep it 10 to look extremely beautiful.:D
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] itsrustlife:
I wouldn't say it's the best front facing selfie camera, but it does the job even in good lighting, not so bad at low light, but isn't great.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] vsriram92:
It uses screen flash to produce white light. So it is not so bad at low lighting.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] venom007:

Front camera review

Thank you so much for saying that our front camera is awesome! We truly appreciate your review. Here at Honor, we truly care about our customers and their comments. Don't forget to try the "Capture smiles" mode, which takes your picture automatically when it detects a smile. You can access that setting by going to the settings within your camera app and enabling it. (ED)

I use the front cam all the time for various purposes. Quite happy with it.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] AtaliaKetch:
I am a camera shy guy so selfies don`t matter to me. But whenever I took them, that 5MP front camera is just enough. Front camera pictures give 'painting-like' pictures when zoomed in about 75%. My rating is 6/10.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] sniperlife:D:
I don't take selfies that much so this is sufficient for me.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:

[Honor 5X Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
It isnt my daily driver though. I use it for development .
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] shashank1320:
Better better better for sure. With 5mp it does the job very well. And pictures can be taken with touch in back FP scanner which is excellent and provide ease of use
