The Honor 5X was a very well received smartphone as it offered some decent specs wrapped around a respectable design at a very affordable price. Huawei's sub-brand is hoping to capitalize on its success with a new device, the Honor 6X. Sadly, specs have not been revealed as of right now, but we can see a dual-camera setup with a fingerprint scanner on the back.
It had been previously reported that it would cost Samsung as much as $1 billion to deal with the Galaxy Note 7 voluntary recall. Today though, investors are getting very worried about the company and many have started selling their shares. So far today, Samsung's market cap has dropped by $14.3 as analysts are starting to predict a very weak 4Q for the South Korean tech giant.
A rumor got started over in the Galaxy Note 7 subreddit this weekend that claimed Samsung would be remotely deactivating devices that were not sent back after a certain amount of time. However, Android Central says they reached out to their Samsung contact and the company says they will not be remotely deactivating any Galaxy Note 7 devices.
While browsing through some Amazon deals, I came across a listing for an Android headset. It was marked down from $200 to be only $15-$18 depending on if you grab one new or used. I decided to pick one of these up to do a full video review on XDA TV.
Compared to other headsets around the same price, the Sunnywoo VR Box has a very premium feel to it. It even feels higher quality than the Gear VR from Samsung.
With the ability to adjust the distance between the lenses as well as the distance of the lenses to your eyes, you can always get the perfect view. It works comfortably with glasses as well, which is import for many people.
The one thing this product is missing is a select button. Most of the time these things will come with some way to interact with your phone without having to take it out of the headset. You'll have to connect a bluetooth controller to get the full experience on some apps.
For only $15-$18 this is a fantastic bargain. I have tried sets that are twice the price of this that don't even come close in quality. Pick up one of these for yourself using our affiliate link.

At the same event that the Honor 8's 1.5 million sales were announced, Honor also announced that in the 999 days of the brand's existence, they have sold 100 million devices, in large part thanks to devices like the Honor 5X, the Honor 6, and the Honor 4C.
