I want to get straight to it, and talk about what I like about the device. Let's start with the screen, I'll just say it's GREAT! Coming in at 1080p on this gorgeous 5.5 inch display, they made it look easy. Now I've got several phones with the same size, and resolution. But they just don't look the same, I mean this screen is really good. The screen on the Honor 5X is flat out nice, super clear and crystal clear. Viewing angles are very solid in my time with the phone, and look good in the direct sunlight too.
The Body, oh boy that BODY! Some how the Honor 5X has pulled a fast one on us, and gave us a premium body. You've heard if before, but I'll say it again...it feels great in the hand. On the back of the phone, the top and bottom are plastic so all the antennas can work as they should for signals. But after that, we are talking full blown metal build quality. Textured volume and power buttons, with smooth curves, and a strong frame say it all.
Fingerprint reader! This is where I think the phones gets really good, considering the price point of just $200 unlocked off contract. The fingerprint reader is fast, and very accurate like it's bigger cousin (Nexus 6P). 
Software on the device is also very nice, and clean. It's right in your face, love it or hate it. Some people get all caught up in the 'No App Tray' thing, but to me it's a good thing on this phone. The EMUI 3.1 Skin is a nice tough, but I will admit some might not like it. If they are used to having an app tray, a third party launcher can be installed. I did not have any issue with stutter or lag, in fact it ran like a champ with the 2GB's of RAM! Memory is at 16GB, but you can install an SD card and call it a day (problem solved). Swipe up from the body, and Google Now launches. Swipe down from the top, and you are hit with your notifications or settings. Simple!
Battery life on the Honor 5X will take you through a full day, and then some. Really, I do mean this. I am a heavy user, and I can make it all the way through a day with battery to spare. YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, Google+, and lots of web browsing. Ending my day with about 30% every time. Need some real battery saving time, turn on Ultra Power saving mode, and your phone will sip it like a hot cup of tea (lasting you well over 50 hours).
Now there are two areas where I think might need some help, and that's the speaker and WiFi. The speaker is on the bottom, and it sounds pretty good. Not the loudest and will work for you, but just don't expect to hear boom sound here folks. The WiFi is only 2.4ghz, and that something I just don't use anymore. But I do understand, that at this price point some things we just can't have.
My final thoughts on this phone, well...you won't find another phone with these features at this price point, that will be worth buying. From the price, build quality, cameras, fingerprint reader, you name it...you can't find one! If I had to rate this phone, it would get a 9.5/10. For the lack of 5ghz WiFi. Huawei did a GREAT job on this phone, and they deserve a BIG slap on the back for giving us what we need and want in a device.
See the video and photo below, as I put it next to some of my other phones with the same size screen.
