Nexus 5x is a good deal
The 5.2-inch display is the tipping point for one-handed Android phones. Reaching icons all the way across the big screen doesn't require two hands. It's not really a phablet
But it's close
That's how I'd describe its performance against its closest riv

Just 2GB of RAM
MicroUSB cables are useless
Plastic build
Then there are the things that haven't changed but should have. With 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage for the entry-level price
You're likely to max out both forms of memory more than a few times over the next year or two
The 2GB of memory affect
Battery life can be a little weak
And the Nexus 5X looks and feels cheap compared to similarly priced phones. The front-facing speaker sounds terrible
Only 2GB of RAM
No SD card slot
USB
C only
Specs trail other Androids
Your microUSB cables are useless
Rivals offer more accurate video and audio performance
Camera needs to improve
No expandable memory or storage
Plastic body
Non Quad-HD display
Crappy speakers
Poor battery life
No wireless charging
Slow & bare-bones stock camera app
And no support for USB Type-C data transfer speeds
Abstract: The Nexus 5 is arguably the most universally loved Nexus device ever. After the launch of the Nexus 6, Nexus enthusiasts wondered if an updated Nexus 5 would have been a batter option than the whale-sized Motorola phablet. Well, those folks are in for a t...

No phone is perfect and every phone has compromises. The Google Nexus 5X from LG is a good phone, but not quite a great phone. The hardware is adequate, but faces steep competition from Motorola and even some Chinese makers such as Huawei and Alcatel in t...
The Nexus 5X is a mostly-solid phone for the price you are paying. You get a really good camera, pure Android and quick updates, the best fingerprint scanner, and connectivity with the carrier you choose. If you need a phone on the smaller side, don't...
At the end of the day, Google & LG listened to the fans and gave them exactly what they wanted. It is more powerful, a better battery inside and a better camera. Ending all qualms you might have had about it. I am just not the biggest fan of the 808 CP...
Abstract: Nexus 5X or Nexus 6P? It's the conundrum of conundrums for countless Android fans this fall. Google's given us two great choices, each with its own unique sort of appeal -- and that means we've got some seriously difficult decisions to face.I've been livi...
Google's Nexus 5X is $379 for the 16-gigabyte model, which you shouldn't buy because it's 2015 and 16GB base storage for a smartphone is unacceptable. (Let that rational part of your brain take over for a minute. If you jump up to the 32GB Nexus 5X yo...

Large size can be awkward to carry and to use onehandedly, TypeC USB port won't work with most existing chargers and cables, camera can sometimes be slow, no wireless charging, no SD card slot
Abstract: This year was pure bliss for Android purists, with two Nexus devices hitting market. One phone definitely doesn't fit all, something Google learnt with the Nexus 6 , a device that was significantly larger than most smartphones and came with a price tag th...
Design It's a smaller Nexus phone that is usable in one hand, and also manages to be extremely light without feeling cheap, Camera The camera works well in a variety of lighting situations and captures a ton of detail. The laser autofocus is solid as well
Charging The USB power delivery standard isn't fully compatible with all those Qualcomm Quick Chargers you have around. Some of them are moderately fast, but others only charge at normal speeds
The Nexus 5X is a very, very good phone. I know that you can look at the spec sheet and get stressed about one thing or another, but just don't. The experience using this phone has surpassed my expectations.The screen is only 1080p, but it's a good panel...
