Quick ?? regarding micro usb flash

[ebrombe]

Just picked up an honor 5x to test out. So far so good, pretty happy with the way the phone is performing. But I'm running into an issue - can't figure out why I can't get the honor 5x to recognize my micro usb flash drive. Any pointers or tips on how to solve this minor issue would be greatly appreciated.

It doesn't seem like the Honor 5X supports OTG out of the box.

OK thanks for the info - googled the hell out this issue and you seem to be correct - don't understand why honor/huawei would not allow this a standard option or feature - otherwise not a bad device for the $$$$

Wow, seems odd why they didn't enable this by default

Yes very strange why honor / huawei would not allow for this featured to be used. But I will say at least the Honor 5X seems to be a decent device for the price range it's in. Thumbs up to Honor / Huawei
