Google Nexus 5X

What we think The Google Nexus 5X, produced by LG, is the impressive successor to the Nexus 5. We have tested this phone thoroughly, and we’re impressed with Google’s new beta software, “Android N”. The Nexus 5X boasts a 12.3MP camera which we were...

The Nexus range has always been a curious mixture of amazing software tied to hardware which is lacking in some way, and we're sad to report that hasn't changed this year. The Nexus 5X isn't a bad phone and has some stand-out features - the...

I'll just put this on the table right now: The Nexus 5X is my new favorite Android phone. It's not huge, which I like. It's also not expensive, which I really like. And despite the fact that it lacks the nicer-on-paper internals of premier devices that...

If your priority is appearance, the Google Nexus 5X is not the phone for you. However, if you don't give a hoot about that – and, don't forget, you can always pop it in a case – the Nexus 5X is hugely appealing. The camera is simply stonking: it's fast...

Overall the Nexus 5X is a bit of a mixed bag. With its plastic back and light weight it does look and feel rather cheap, particularly the power and volume buttons, but it's actually quite robust and the smooth plastic back resists fingerprints well. It...

If you're looking for a relatively affordable, unlocked smartphone, with 5"+ screen and Google's latest mobile OS, the Nexus 5X is a great option. It's rare that we're able to offer such steadfast and straightforward buying advice, but this handset...

The at first glance relatively restrained-looking Nexus 5X conceals cutting-edge technology under its hood. Besides a modern Snapdragon SoC, all state-of-the-art wireless standards such as AC Wi-Fi at up to 866 Mbit/s, Bluetooth 4.2 and NFC are...

This review might come off as a bit on the negative side, though my scoring and recommendation won't reflect that. The Nexus 5X has many flaws, some bigger, some smaller, but it's by no means a perfect device. I've held it up to high standards, the same...

The Nexus 5X is almost everything I wanted for the successor to Google's 2013 flagship phone, but it's not enough for me to keep as my new daily driver. The build quality feels cheaper than it should be considering other options in the same price range...

It goes without saying that, if the way your phone looks matters to you, the Google Nexus 5X is not the smartphone for you. It's awkward and ugly to look at, especially in the powder blue pictured here, and feels rather cheap.If you don't give a hoot...

Back-to-basics without skimping on the good stuff While the Nexus 5X isn't the fanciest phone on the block, after using it for a few weeks we're impressed by what you get for the price. Compared to the off-contract price of something like the Galaxy...

Even if you don’t have access to Project Fi, there is no better phone to buy unlocked. Just knowing that the software bugs in the Nexus 5X will get fixed quickly by Google directly, instead of waiting months or longer for other phone makers, is reason enough. It’s a great deal no matter how you look at it.
