Metal seems to be the new standard among mid-range smartphones. Even Huawei has joined the party with the brand new Huawei Enjoy 5S handset. The phone is priced at 1099 ($172) and is targeted at those users who would like a compact device with a 5-inch display. Other metal phones in this range are usually of 5.5-inches, so this phone will cater to the needs of a slightly different population.

The Huawei Enjoy 5S comes with a 1.5GHz Mediatek MT6753T processor with 2GB of RAM on board and 16GB of internal storage. At the back, there will be a 13MP camera and up front, you will find a 5MP shooter. The 5-inch display will come with 720p resolution, which is a bit disappointing considering competitors have already upgraded to FHD resolution. The battery is also not very impressive, 2200mAh but its mainly because the company decided to keep the phone super thin, measuring just 6.3mm.

This isn’t the best specs we have seen on a $172 phone, but for a 5-incher, it’s not bad either. You can check out a few hands on pictures of the Huawei Enjoy 5S from down below.
