Features, Performance, and Reviews for the Honor 5A (2016) 16GB

The camera function of Honor 5A (2016) 16GB

The "Honor 5A (2016) 16GB" has a 13.0MP main camera that lets you take photos and videos in a quite high resolution. You may be a little dissatisfied with it in some situations, for example when you want to capture scenery in very high resolution or print out beautiful photos, but this should not be an issue you run into very often.

The "Honor 5A (2016) 16GB" comes with a 5.0MP pixel camera, which is a standard level. It's perfectly fine for selfies, but may be not as satisfying if you wish to take photos of large numbers of people, or make printouts.

The battery performance of Honor 5A (2016) 16GB

The "Honor 5A (2016) 16GB"'s battery capacity is 2200.0mAh, a standard level for these types of phones. Compared to other smartphones, the "Honor 5A (2016) 16GB" has a standard battery life. It should not be a problem for normal use. However, if you spend a lot of time online or playing games, you may find the battery life a bit dissatisfying.

Honor 5A (2016) 16GB 's size

The "Honor 5A (2016) 16GB" is 72.5mm wide, 144.2mm tall, and 9.0mm thick. I can just barely use it with one hand, so it may feel big to some people. In the case of the "Honor 5A (2016) 16GB", it weighs about 140.0g. The weight is such that it's hardly noticeable even when using one-handed. However, some people may find it tiring to use for long periods.

In giving an overall rating to the "Honor 5A (2016) 16GB", while it may be slightly difficult to hold, it shouldn't be much of a problem when considering its general strengths and weaknesses.

Honor 5A (2016) 16GB 's screen

The "Honor 5A (2016) 16GB" has a 5.0inch screen. The iPhone X has a big screen, which very likely won't ever trouble you. Just be aware that it's not a very good size for writing long blocks of text.

The resolution of the "Honor 5A (2016) 16GB"'s screen is pretty much standard. It shouldn't be a problem for normal use, but it might prove to be a bit dissatisfying for those who wish to better enjoy their photos, videos, or games.

The CPU performance of Honor 5A (2016) 16GB

The processing power of the "Honor 5A (2016) 16GB" is comparatively low at 1.0GHz×4(4.0-cores). You'll most likely notice its lack of power when running games or playing videos. However, you shouldn't have any problems making calls, browsing the internet or using apps like Twitter or Instagram.

The "Honor 5A (2016) 16GB" has 2.0GB of RAM, so it has plenty of space. In rare cases this amount of RAM might not be sufficient, but there shouldn't be too much stress on the machine with this amount.

My impression of the overall operation speed of the "Honor 5A (2016) 16GB" is at about the mid- to low-end of smartphones. If you use it normally, you likely won't run into any problems, but at times you will notice what it lacks.

Honor 5A (2016) 16GB 's storage capacity

The "Honor 5A (2016) 16GB" has 16.0GB of data storage, which is plenty for taking photos, but for people who frequently shoot videos or have lots of games installed, this may not feel like enough space.

Since the "Honor 5A (2016) 16GB" is compatible with SD cards, you'll be able to easily expand your storage capacity; you won't need to worry about how much internal space it has.

Overall assessment of Honor 5A (2016) 16GB

The "Honor 5A (2016) 16GB" is a relatively high-performance smartphone. If you plan to use it as your main smartphone, you may find it slightly inconvenient, but within tolerable limits.
