How to win in For Honor? — watch videos online — Gambling addiction

Honor 5X is a big smartphone. It has a 5.5-inch screen, but the display is surrounded by small bezels, so by the standards of large smartphones it’s a fairly adequate size. Yes, for most actions you need to take the phone with both hands; you simply won’t be able to use it any other way.

The body is almost entirely metal, with only small plastic inserts at the ends. Even if the new Huawei doesn’t look good from the front, you take it in your hand and rejoice – metal is better than cheap plastic. The back is decorated with a pattern of stripes, everything shimmers in the light. The beautiful design is pleasing to the eye and amphibious when you see how much famous brands charge for metal finishing.

It happens that they make plastic “to look like metal” in a similar style, but you can’t go wrong here, especially when you use a smartphone in the cold without gloves – the device becomes icy in seconds. But you don’t have to take off the gloves – the settings provide a function for operating the device while wearing gloves. The accuracy of pressing suffers, but the fingers are warmer.

I received a smartphone in gold color. The color is undoubtedly fashionable, but in this version the black frame around the screen catches the eye. So in a dark version the device should look more organic.

Not very stable

The phone cannot be called super-thin or particularly light, but for a 5.5-inch device it does not look like an oversized giant; compared to the old 4X, it has generally become smaller in all respects.

The camera lens is surrounded by a thin rim, and the smartphone rests on it when we place it on the table. Will it get scratched over time? It’s possible, but I can’t say for sure. But because of it, the phone cannot lie flat on the surface; as soon as you touch it with your finger, it starts to wobble.

Large screen under film

5.5 inches, resolution 1080 x 1920, IPS panel without air gap. Compared to the Honor 4X, there is progress, there the pixel density was lower, but here there are 401 pixels per inch, the grain cannot be seen even if one wants to. The screen is decent: good anti-glare layer, wide viewing angles, rich image. What else is needed for happiness? They even put a film here to protect the scratch-resistant glass. The film protects the safe.

Not satisfied with the ready-made display settings? You can change the color temperature through your smartphone settings. By default, the phone goes “blue,” so this option will not be superfluous.

Old Android with bells and whistles

Want the latest Android? Buy 5X. Not Honor, but Nexus
, that’s where “marshmallow” 6.0 will be. And Honor 5X has the good old Lollipop 5.1 with the proprietary “add-on” EMUI 3.1. Despite the fact that the sixth version of Google’s mobile OS has been available since October, manufacturers are in no particular hurry to release new devices with fresh software to the market. In this case, just such an example.

The shell sometimes shakes, minor twitching can be experienced, but it’s worth noting.

To make it more convenient to use, we added many functions: here you can control the screen with one hand, unlock by double tapping, a smart profile with notifications works so that in the middle of the night the smartphone does not wake up your household with a loud signal when another portion of spam arrives in the mailbox. If three touch buttons under the screen are not enough, then add a fourth to them in the smartphone settings; it will help you go to the quick access menu.

The light indicator works, the diode blinks brightly, the indicator is clearly visible not only in the dark, but also during the day.

Average all around

Last year, Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 was found in many smartphones, and Honor 5X also received this chip. The operating frequency of the computing cores is 1.5 GHz, Adreno 405 graphics, 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal memory. The data storage volume can always be increased using a microSD slot; if desired, we can install a drive there up to 128 GB inclusive. I note that the presence of microSD does not affect the second SIM card, the slots are separate. And not like in many devices, where a memory card has to be installed instead of an additional SIM. There is no USB-OTG support; the smartphone refused to read data from the connected flash drive.

I present the indicators in the tests for clarity. If you put the feelings into words, then everything is very ordinary, not bad, but there are no great achievements either. The power is not enough for demanding toys, but if you don’t want to turn your smartphone into a gaming console, then you can forget about this point. The browser doesn’t lag, it plays high-quality movies, and what else do you need when you’re going to work on the subway and want to pass the time by reading a book or watching another TV series.

Useful scanner

The flagship function has also reached a simpler smartphone, I mean a fingerprint sensor. But where to look for a scanner if it is not visible from the front? And it, like in Honor 7 and Mate series smartphones, is located at the back.

This may be unusual at first glance, but it is convenient – when you hold the phone in your hand, your index finger exactly hits the scanner pad. Entering your data is easy; Honor 5X will remember your finger in just 6 touches. Against the background Samsung Galaxy A7
, where for the same operation you need to do about 30 similar actions, this is progress. The scanner helps to unlock your smartphone, you can use it to turn off the alarm clock, and use it as a shutter for the camera.

Loud sound

The speaker is good: you can hear your interlocutor perfectly, and the quality of voice transmission is excellent. The multimedia speaker is also fine. It is located on the bottom end, the place is chosen wisely: it will be difficult to block the speaker with something when the phone is on the table or in your pocket. Take a look at the design: from the outside it seems like there are two speakers. But the second set of holes here is fake.

In the SIM card settings, we set different signals for calls and messages for each number. The function is not new, I’ll just note that it is present here.

13 megapixels for day but not night

The main camera is 13 MP (5-lens optics, f/2.0), the front camera is 5 MP (4-lens optics, f/2.4). But if you don’t go into details, but look at the shooting examples, then the quality can be described with the word “normal”. The detail here is average; the phone rarely misses the mark with white balance. However, it is better not to take pictures at night – the pictures come out too noisy.

Several screens with settings options:

LTE and dual SIM

We are already so accustomed to the fact that Chinese smartphones come with a pair of SIM cards that the presence of two slots in the device is taken for granted. The new product lives up to expectations; the Honor 5X can accommodate two cards, one of them in micro-SIM format, and the other in nano format. The smartphone reliably picks up Wi-Fi networks 802.11 b/g/n at frequencies of 2.4 and 5 GHz. Both SIM cards can work in LTE networks, we select this in the settings. Perhaps someone will miss NFC, I love this function for its simplicity: I put the phone on the headphones, and the pairing is ready, there is no need to launch the search mode. Among the settings, there is a useful function for saving traffic; you can deprive applications of Internet access at will.

Navigation works well; in 30 seconds of searching, Honor 5X will find about 20-25 satellites of GPS and GLONASS systems.

Two days away from the outlet

The 3,000 mAh battery does not fail: charging lasts for two days. During this time, about 4 hours of active screen accumulates. If you watch a video on YouTube, then in an hour at maximum brightness the display loses 15-17%, so a fully charged battery will last for 6.5-7 hours of watching online movies. In games, it takes about 18-20% per hour, a good figure.

Conclusion

The price of Honor 5X at the start of sales is 16-17 thousand rubles. It’s not the most productive for the money, but if you don’t chase power when choosing a new smartphone, you’ll like this option for its balanced capabilities. It has a neat appearance, high-quality finish, a comfortable shell and many nice little things like glove control and a fingerprint scanner.

If your budget is limited, then for 15 thousand you can buy Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 5.5
, there will be exactly the same filling. 19 thousand cost Lenovo P90
and ASUS ZenFone 2
, Honor 7 is sold for 25 thousand, the new Samsung Galaxy A5 (2020) costs the same
, and the more powerful Meizu MX5
with 32 GB of memory it costs 30 thousand.
