An update on my new phone (Huawei Honor 6X):
It's pronounced Wah-Way.
It is sweet and it just rocks. Lots of features and reliability for less than $200. Interesting thing is both the phone and my monitor are 1920x1080 IPS screens.
First thing I did was to get a case and screen protector for the Honor. Heck I do that on all my mobiles. If you're looking for a good budget phone, look into this one. Excellent reviews and award winning.
