Summary
- The Honor 5X features a more compact and lightweight build with an aluminum frame and a glass front, while the Toshiba Excite Pro is significantly larger and heavier, designed more like a tablet.
- The 5X has a 5.5-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, offering a higher pixel density compared to the Excite Pro's 10.1-inch display at 2560 x 1600 pixels, which results in sharper visuals.
- In terms of performance, the Honor 5X is powered by a Snapdragon 616 chipset with up to 3GB of RAM, while the Excite Pro uses an Nvidia Tegra 4 with 2GB of RAM, making the 5X potentially more efficient for multitasking.
- The camera on the 5X is superior with a 13 MP rear camera versus the Excite Pro's 8 MP, although the latter can record video.
- Battery capacity is also a point of difference, with the Excite Pro having a much larger 33,000 mAh battery compared to the 3,000 mAh in the 5X, which may affect usage time.
