The Huawei GX8 is now available in the US… but you should probably just buy the Honor 5X

Huawei has announced that their affordable GX8 smartphone is now available in the US. It costs $349 for a Snapdragon 616 device with a 5.5-inch HD display and a 3,000mAh battery, and that’s great!

Except, the Honor 5X is basically the exact same phone and costs $150 less. There is one subtle difference between the two — it’s slightly more rounded at the edges and the caps on the top and bottom of the phone look a bit different. Here’s a photo of it if you are looking to compare:

And that’s it.

To be honest, we think the Honor 5X already looks gorgeous and given that it sports the same exact internals we’d be hard-pressed to find a good reason to go with the GX8 over it.
