Honor 5A or ASUS Zenfone 3 max?

[AC Question]

I cannot decide which of these 2 phones to buy.

ASUS Zenfone max 3:

Display. 5.20-inch.
Processor. 1.25GHz quad-core.
Front Camera. 5-megapixel.
Resolution. 720x1280 pixels.
RAM. 3GB.
OS. Android 6.0.1.
Storage. 32GB.
Rear Camera. 13-megapixel.
OS. Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow)
Chipset. Mediatek MT6737M
GPU. Mali-T720MP2

Honor 5A:

Display. 5.50-inch.
Processor. 1.2GHz octa-core.
Front Camera. 8-megapixel.
Resolution. 720x1280 pixels.
RAM. 2GB.
OS. Android 6.0.
Storage. 16GB.
Rear Camera. 13-megapixel.
OS Android 5.1 (Lollipop)
Chipset Mediatek MT6735P
GPU Mali-T720MP2

The Asus phone has better specs but I've been told to buy the honor instead because it doesn't have a cheap operating system and cpu or something along those lines basically whereas the Asus does.

I have also been told that basically asus aren't very good when it comes to customer service whereas honor and honor experience less problems with their phones overall.

I like both phones, i think i prefer the feel of the honor in my hands more.

Can anyone tell me which they think the better phone is and why?
