Question 1

I have two question:
1. Is this phone compatible with T-mobile (USA)?
2. Does this phone install Google Play Store ?
Thanks you.

Accepted Answer

this phone is compatible with all GSM networks like T-Mobile and AT&T, and Google Play is already installed just like it is with all other android phones

however, this phone does not support Wi-Fi calling or 5Ghz Wi-Fi connectivity

Question 2

Can you bypass the fingerprint sign on function and enter code - let's say you injure finger and have it bandaged or scar alters print?

Accepted Answer

yes you can, infact the first thing it'll tell you regarding security is either entering a PIN number or draw  pattern, and you will have as well because if for any reason you turned off your phone or the battery died out, when you turn it back on, it'll ask you to either draw your pattern or enter your PIN, whichever one you used when you first setup your phone. the fingerprint sensor is more of a convenient feature, you can set it up for unlocking the phone or feature such as camera, and you can register more than just one fingerprint

Question 3

Does Skype work with this phone?

Accepted Answer

Not sure but i would avoid this phone if using with metro pcs as apps won't download.

Question 4

I know people are probably sick of answering questions like this, but I just want to make sure:

Is there any way for this phone to be compatible with Virgin Mobile?

Accepted Answer

No, Virgin runs on the sprint network which uses CDMA technology. Most unlocked phones use GSM technology which is what AT&T & T-Mobile & most of the rest of the world uses. I just left Sprint partly because of that very reason. I use this on Cricket which runs on the AT&T network. Bought it pre-release, haven't had any problems with it.

Question 5

Does this phone have Hotspot capability on the ATT network? I have read conflicting information on if it has this feature or not.

Accepted Answer

I guess you would have to check with the carrier that you go with. I took my phone across the street from me to Cricket. Verizon used to cost $65 plus tax, now I pay $45 including tax. However, because I did not purchase the phone at Cricket (they don't carry it - yet, as far as I know) they told me the Hotspot would not work. I do not need it that badly, so I signed up anyway. I hope this helps. I love the phone otherwise.

Question 6

Will the Honor 5x be able to upgrade to Android 6.0 Marshmallow?

Accepted Answer

There is buzz that it will be upgraded to this, when I am not sure. The same buzz is that allegedly in 2016 sometime.

However, the phone is awesome! The camera and abilities takes some getting used to but there are may affects then what is listed. The speaker isn't super awesome, but nor do I plan on playing music for everyone around me.  It depends on what you value in a phone but I must admit, it is well worth the $199.

Question 7

What size SIM card (standard, micro, or nano) does it use?

Accepted Answer

Top slot takes a Micro-Sim, Bottom slot takes a Micro SD and a Nano Sim. Hope this helps.

Question 8
