Google Nexus 5X Review - A Great Step Up from Nexus 5


Nexus devices are Google’s way of showing what the latest version of Android can do, made in partnership with different manufactures like LG (LG NEXUS 6 ), Huawei (Huawei Nexus 6P) and other manufacturers. They run Android as Google intends it, without modifications, and receive software updates first.

The Nexus 5X is the successor to 2013’s Nexus 5 – Google’s most popular Nexus device to date – and like 2013’s Nexus smartphone, the 5X is made by The Nexus 5X is the smaller and cheaper of Google’s new flagship Android 6.0 Marshmallow smartphones, and is billed as the phone for everyone. It has a great camera, fingerprint sensor and 5.2in screen
LG.

It’s still a relatively compact smartphone, but now has a 5.2in screen and a longer body than the Nexus 5, which lets it fit in a front-facing speaker at the bottom. The top and bottom speakers do not work as a stereo pair, unfortunately. It is 7.9mm thick, covered in a smooth soft-touch plastic, and weighs 136g, making it one of the lightest top-end smartphones currently available. The 6.8mm thick Samsung Galaxy S6, for instance, weighs 138g. The iPhone 6S is 7.1mm thick and weighs 143g.

It doesn’t feel quite as premium as the iPhone or Galaxy S6, but its plastic is high quality, warm to the touch and a lot easier to hold onto. The buttons on the side feel a little basic and cheap, but the rest of the phone feels very well built.

The 5.2in screen is excellent. It has a 1080p resolution, a density of 423 pixels per inch and is pin sharp. The Galaxy S6’s 5.1in 2K display with 577ppi is technically sharper, but it is very difficult to spot the difference at that size of screen.

Specifications

  • Screen: 5.2in 1080p LCD (423ppi)
  • Processor: hexa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 808
  • RAM: 2GB of RAM
  • Storage: 16 or 32GB
  • Operating system: Android 6.0 Marshmallow
  • Camera: 12.3MP rear camera, 5MP front-facing camera
  • Connectivity: LTE, Wi-Fi, NFC, Bluetooth 4.2, USB-C and GPS
  • Dimensions: 147.0 x 72.6 x 7.9 mm
  • Weight: 136g

The Nexus 5X is one of the first smartphones available running Google’s latest version of Android 6.0 Marshmallow. There are no software features that are unique to the Nexus 5X beyond the Nexus Camera and Nexus Imprint fingerprint scanner. Marshmallow runs smoothly, is well optimised and feels as if it was designed for the Nexus 5X, which it was.

The Nexus 5X comes in three colours, black, white and ice (a kind of duck egg colour) and with either 16GB of storage costing £339 or 32GB for £379 from Google.

A lot can be said about Nexus 5X, and more details is available.
