You can buy an Honor 5X for just $1, there’s a catch though

Honor wants to sell you the Honor 5X, a mid-range phone with flagship features, for only $1. The Honor 5X is already pretty cheap with its $200 price tag even at launch. Honor/Huawei is holding sales on every eighth minute of every hour starting at 10:08 this morning (Central Standard Timezone) until the last sale which starts at 21:08.

You have to be really quick to get this phone at just $1. I just tried to get it myself and found myself too late after just 15 seconds past 18:08. I refreshed the page and saw the “Add to cart” button. After I clicked it, I got a message that the item was out of stock. Apparently, Honor is only letting one phone go for $1 per hour for a total of 12 phones.

So if you think you are lucky enough to get one of these $1 phones in your cart, be our guest. If you get an order in, let us know in the comments. It’s a great little phone for the price. It’s not the snappiest phone around, but for $200 what more can you ask for?

Check out our review of the Honor 5X as well. It features a Snapdragon 616 CPU paired with 3GB of RAM, and a 5.5 inch 1080 screen powered by an Adreno 405 for graphics, which works great for most games like Cut the Rope, Candy Crush, Temple Run, and other concurrent games. It’s also sold in the US as a dualSIM handset with slots for two SIM cards and microSD expansion.
