After nearly a week with the Huawei Honor 6x mentioned in my post above, I thought I'd follow up with a mini-review in case anybody cared. The deal I posted is now expired, but this is a pretty damn legit phone regardless at $180 or less.

Cons:
- Speakers are on bottom and not very loud or high quality
- Lacks 5GHz wifi connectivity
- Lacks rapid charging capability

Pros:
- Build is really nice for a budget phone with the mostly aluminum construction it has a nice heft and just feels like a really solid phone.
- Battery life is great, easily getting through a day of heavy use and potentially well into the second day.
- Zippy processor/RAM for multitasking and even some more intensive games
- Pretty good camera. It's actually pretty great in good light, but only so-so in dim light. The double rear camera can be kind of cool to play around with (still ultimately kinda gimmicky to me, but I'm still calling it a Pro)
- Screen is really nice looking for budget. It's not Super AMOLED or anything, but it looks darn good and gets plenty bright even in direct sun.
- Fingerprint reader is extremely fast and accurate, and located on the back, where it should be.
- Expandable storage - I've got a 128GB in mine so I can have all the apps, pics, and music I can handle
- Unlocked, so I just popped my Cricket SIM from my old phone in and once my google account restored my apps and info, I was up and running 100%.

Bottom line: a really good phone for it's price, and potentially great (depending on the deal you get). At the $100 I paid, it's an absolute no-brainer. For the $150-180 it seems you can routinely find it, still a good deal. At $200+ it's too close to the Moto G5s (on sale for $240 currently), which is likely a better device. That's my $0.02.
