Deal: the entry-level Honor 5X is now available at 20% off, packs a lot of value at the price

The Honor 5X, a no-fuss entry-level Android phone that packs a lot of value for the money, can now be purchased at a 20% discount.

Head on over to Newegg by clicking the source link below, add the Honor 5X to the cart, and you'll see the phone listed at $189.99. During checkout, input coupon code ESCEMGE24EDU, and the retailer will drop the price of the phone to $159.99.

That price is good for a brand new phone in its unlocked flavor. The Honor 5X comes with dual-SIM capabilities, meaning that you'll be able to rock both an AT&T and a T-Mobile SIM card at the same time. Unfortunately, the phone won't work with CDMA carriers such as Verizon and Sprint.

The Huawei-made Honor 5X was already an interesting entry-level smartphone at its usual price of $200. At $160, US customers will have a tough time finding a better phone overall (without importing a unit from Asia and having to deal with several potential network compatibility problems).

The Honor 5X comes with raw hardware specs that include a 5.5-inch display running at 1080 by 1920 pixels, a mid-range Snapdragon 616 chipset with an octa-core CPU, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of expandable internal storage, and a 3000mAh battery. In the camera department, the Honor 5X is equipped with a 5MP selfie sensor on the front and a 13MP primary shooter on the back.
