Today’s Deal is on the solid performing and well priced Honor 5X from Huawei.

It has an all metal and glass construction, has 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. That storage can be expanded up to an additional 256GB thanks to the MicroSD slot built into the phone. Powering the phone is the octa-core Snapdragon 616 processor running at 1.4GHz coupled with the Adreno 405 GPU. The 5X is a dual-SIM phone which is great for those who travel and has 13MP rear camera and a 5MP selfie camera.
