Hey @Doug_9 - that's very interesting! Did you reach out to Huawei to let them know? Is it possible yours is a defective unit? Do let me know, and I'll def check the unit I have to see if this is a problem for me too, but I don't remember encountering it during my testing.

@Whopper - the OnePlus X is $250 while this is $199, and I think that swayed the score slightly. The OnePlus X also lags in one very important factor: Battery life. It only lasted 7 hrs and 21 mins on our test, while the Honor 5X got more than 9 hours. Plus, the Honor has better cameras AND a fingerprint sensor. For $199! =)
