The device also features fingerprint scanner, LTE, and a 4,500 mAh battery.

The device comes with a 5 inch display screen (with 720 pixel resolution), flanked by an 8 megapixel camera on the rear side and a 2 megapixel camera on the front side. With regards to hardware specifications, the Honor 5 features a Media Tek MT6735P 64 bit four core chip set, paired with a Mali T720 GPU. This comes with support of 2 gigabytes of RAM and 16 gigabytes of onboard memory, but expandable up to 128 gigabytes by way of a micro SD card. The device features a couple of SIM card slots, a 2,200 mAh battery, and comes preinstalled with Android 5.1 Lollipop.
