I've got the Honor 5X - you have questions - fire away!

[EarlyMon]

Does it have a Notification LED?

thanks

Yep!

Does this phone support dual standby? Or is it one sim active at a time? Also, does it get LTE on T-Mobile?

Oh, and call quality. How is it?

How annoying is EMUI? Is it difficult for users who are accustomed to the app drawer found in almost all popular Android devices?

It's one active SIM at a time. In settings there's a 'Dual SIM management' screen where this is easily managed.

Call quality - not sure yet as I haven't popped in a SIM - have been using on WiFi only at the moment.

I wouldn't call it annoying so much as different. It's easy enough to pick up and find out where things are.

Thanks! I was hoping for dual standby but this will have to do. Let me know if you get to test call quality. This seems like a very good phone for my dad. He really needs a new phone and it has to be dual sim.

My concern is that it would be hard to find where things are for someone like me who has 240 apps.

You can always install Nova or another third party launcher

That's true. I'd have to replace those icons with something else too.

You can also swipe down to open the quick launch screen. Begin typing in the app name and it will show up. You will also see recently used apps on this screen

How well does SwiftKey run on this device? I've never liked the Google Keyboard.

I just installed it, it seems to work ok so far

There is dual SIM standby. Either SIM can receive a call. The SIM management tool is used to configure which SIM is the primary mobile data SIM, and default for calls/messages.

Does overheat while playing YouTube videos?

I ran youtube videos 1080p for about half an hour ar maximum brightness. It got to around 99°F

In the box: SIM removal tool, micro USB cable, USB power adapter (1.0A).

I wonder if it support double tap to wake (ala LG devices) knock on?

They should make this with vanilla android and USB type C.

This is very far from vanilla Android.

Would be interested to know what one or two features you like best/least. Expecting delivery of my 5X in early February.
