    Thread 6X price keeps dropping, any issues?

    Best buy now has the 6X for $179. I was debating this phone vs Moto G5S Plus or G5S Plus. The G5 is a steady $229 for 3gb and 32gb. Seems the Honor vs Moto is a very close rival like Mustang vs Camaro. Is the Moto worth $50 more? What is it with the Honor 6X to be so cheap now? I'm on T-Mobile...
