The Nexus 5X is a good all-round smartphone, particulary the fingerprint scanner and camera stand out in a positive way. But we had hoped that the battery life would be a little longer, though it is not bad. The design is simple but functional, as did the Nexus 5 two years ago. The finest on a Nexus phone warranty remains quick updates and smooth software. Although the specifications are not of the highest level, the 5X feels fast. It's a bit strange that LG has no additional cable or adapter piece ax evert to pinpoint the phone into a USB-A port. In general, no huge negatives to the Nexus 5X, which is a decent performance from LG and Google.
What is a Nexus smartphone? For a few years Google seemed to have it crystallized. Both the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 were for their time midrange smartphones with many characteristics of a high-end device, such as a high resolution screen and a quick processor.
That was not always so. The first Nexus, the Nexus One in early 2010, was an HTC smartphone that Google had multiple purposes. So developers should be provided with a solid device app development with always the latest version of Android, Google producers wanted to show the way in which direction it should go on with hardware and wanted to break the power of providers through its own device only online on offer.
The latter failed grandiose, but the other two goals have succeeded on some Nexus devices. The Nexus One, Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus were all smartphones with advanced specs and striking designs. Nexus 4 and 5 were appreciated area additionally trend. Including Xiaomi and OnePlus that then jumped into the same hole.
Last year, Google surprised everyone with the Nexus 6, a significantly larger device from Motorola with a much higher price than previous Nexus smartphones. She was not diminished by everyone and therefore not the search giant comes this year with not one, but two Nexus phones; Nexus 5X LG with a 5.2 inch screen and Huawei Nexus 6P with a 5.7 inch screen.
The Nexus 6P continues and costs 649 euros the trend of the Nexus 6 also a hefty penny. The Nexus 5X should be the cheaper Nexus, but in Europe is that by slightly. The 16GB version is going to cost us 479 euros, while it costs in the United States only $ 379. It is not clear why this is so.
With a Nexus phone, you first get started with new Android versions and that will be a reason for many to consider this smartphone.
With Nexus 5 you paid to run stock Android a toll in the form of a professional camera and battery life. Thus, it is not at the 5X; This is in many ways a great smartphone and on some fronts, it is even very good. Especially in low light shines off the camera: in that area, he even beats the Samsung Galaxy S6. In addition, the screen looks more beautiful thanks to the improved contrast ratio. But we would have liked the maximum brightness just might be higher, since that is practical as the sun shines a lot.
Although the Nexus 5X has a longer battery life than the Nexus 5, it is still not a high flyer. However, he can compete with the most direct competitors. This is the biggest irritations compared to the Nexus 5 rectified but Nexus users are in our experience often heavy users so bring a charger. 5X therefore still not a luxury. Because of the USB-C connector it is always advisable to have a charger with you.
In everyday use the Nexus 5X is very responsive and shows virtually no delays or hitches, even when used intensively. This is partly because he is running stock Android without extra layer over the operating system, such as other producers usually implement. The fingerprint scanner is a big factor in the sense of speed at 5X.
Whether you like the Nexus 5X or not is of course subjective and divided opinions. Its design is simple, although the slope camera and fingerprint scanner him give a unique appearance. He is lightweight and keeps it fixed fine. That the speaker has not really improved since gone Nexus 5, we find regrettable.
Thanks to its relatively high suggested retail Nexus 5X does not offer the same prize money as its predecessor and for the same money buy now a Galaxy S6, which has a better screen and longer battery life. But 5X Nexus running stock Android, and that is one of the main reasons to go for this handset. When Google releases a new version of Android, you can with the 5X additionally immediately get to work. So you are assured of the freshest features and security updates.
If you are looking for a good all round smartphone with top camera and smooth Android experience, the 5X is a solid choice.
