Honor 5X specs
Pretty much an infinite number of letter and number combos are available and yet different phone manufacturers end up using the same ones as other manufacturers. Strange.
Moto X Play/DROID MAXX 2 competitor, without the big battery.
No NFC on Honor 5X, though, so no Android Pay.
Bands 2,4 and 12. T-Mo friendly.
I wonder how the SD616 compares to the SD 800 on my previous Note 3 with fhd. Different times, architecture whatnot but maybe it's as good in real life performance.
