Inspired by the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in Spain, the Honor 5X's aluminum alloy body blends a curved design with ergonomic principles to fit comfortably in the user's hands. On the back it has a fingerprint sensor for unlocking the phone as well as other gesture controls such as making a call or launching an app during locked mode, taking photos, pulling down and hiding the notification bar as well as canceling an alarm.
The 13MP back-facing camera features a F2.0 aperture, 28mm wide-angle lens, blue glass infrared filter, and a macro mode for close-up shots. The 5MP front-facing camera includes a F2.4 aperture, 22mm wide-angle lens and an 88-degree viewing angle. Other features include a 5.5-inch, 10-point multi-touch Full-HD IPS display, 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 octa-core processor, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of memory, 3,000 mAh battery and microSD card slot.
