If you are looking for an excellent mid-range device that you can count on for future Android updates, then the Google Nexus 5X is definitely one of the best. The 32GB internal storage may be an issue for power users, but then again power users should pick up the bigger Nexus 6P.
The most compelling Android devices released each year often fall under Google's own Nexus brand. Every Nexus phone is launched running the latest version of Android without custom skins and other blemishes, and the hardware you get is typically just as...
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...
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...
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...
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.
The Nexus 5X has big boots to fill. The original Nexus 5 is easily one of Android's most cherished children. It wasn't perfect, but it was a bargain. If you made an Android smartphone after late 2013, it was inevitably going to be compared against the...
The Nexus 5X feels every bit the successor to the original Nexus 5 The Nexus 5X feels every bit the successor to the original Nexus 5. It's so overdue that the original now feels like a phone from another lifetime. It has all the phone's good bits,...
Do you want a smartphone that doesn't have unnecessary bloatware? One that doesn't even have unnecessary hardware frills? Then you want the Google Nexus 5X. Earlier on, I called it a flat slab of sensible computing, and that's precisely what it is....
Two years is a long time to own a smartphone when refresh cycles happen twice a year. Software updates play a key role in breathing new life into aging hardware, but the conscientious testing undertaken by carriers can delay releases by three months....
As much as we love what LG and Google have accomplished with the Nexus 5X, we're stuck on one thing: the price.With a starting price of $659, we really don't understand why the 5X is a phone attracting such a high tag. Granted, there's been a two year...
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...
The 5X is a lot more expensive than other phones with similar specifications but what you get for the extra £100-odd you pay over is an undiluted and pure Android experience, one of the best fingerprint scanners out there, NFC, Bluetooth, great camera...
After all that we get the feeling the earlier Nexus 5, from 2013 , looks and feels much better than the current Nexus 5X. Sure, the rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and 1080p display make the 5X worth upgrading to, but it hasn't quite got the X...
