Buying advice for Algeria

Both Honor 5X and Honor 6X are sold in Algeria, but they fit different priorities.

Honor 6X packs a 3340 mAh battery, which translates to longer screen-on time when you are away from a charger.

Honor 5X reaches a higher main-sensor resolution at 13 MP, which helps with crops and lower-light photos.
