LG Nexus 5X review: Settling down

16 November, 2015
Some think that it's time for Google to start making its own hardware, the closest we have today is the Nexus series. The Nexus 5X, co-designed by Google and LG, is the mid-range offering and a respite from the 6" Nexus last year, leaving its sibling to fill the premium, large-screen role.

        It's obvious it wasn't meant to be a smaller "6P", so that's why you get somewhere between middle and high end...

          Hey GSMArena, I hope you guys will be outing the review for Huawei G8 in a few days. Kindly do check properly how is its call quality, mainly on ear piece. And please please check the option whether we can save Apps and Games in SD Card or not? Also, how about overheating issues? Please GSMArena, don't forget my requested queries. I will be waiting for your review

            We're officially past the "click-to-reveal" data collection phase and the review is now available without any hidden sections. Thank you for your input and again, we apologise for any inconvenience.

                The high price in Australia means customers are better off adding a little extra money and buying an iPhone 6s.

                    Baterry life is really dissapointing, 2700 mAh only 60 hours rating.. Even one the most crtitized battery life, which is iphone 6s with 1750 mAh can get 63 hours rating. And this is from M android which promises better battery life with feature like doze... Whyy?

                      In Pakistan, the 5x 16GB is selling for around $600 more than an S6 and equivalent to Note5. Iphone'ish much, eh?

                        Overall the Nexus 5X makes a big impact on users, as the camera is superb.

                          All is worling fine in chrome, 5.1.1 Moto G.

                              I think the heat problem with the lastest snapdragon 810 is just a pretext for mobile manufactures to put a lower price and power cpu in a high end device

                                  It a nice page idea, but on my Lumia 1520 it won't show me the whole... page, if that's how you named it. The old setup was better, but this got some potential! Good luck ;)

                                    You should bring back the old page setup.It was much better.Now its devastating to read a review.

                                      AnonD-234961, 17 Nov 2015Hopefully G5 will be the true successor of the G2. But if t... more5.2" is a nice size, but they could get away with 5.3/4" with small bezels. But I don't think size is the main problem, G3 and G4 sold better than G2 after all. More and more people go over to bigger displays. However the ideal would be a 4.6", 5.2" and a 5.7" with only different batteries and screens.

                                      If you want 3600 battery in a 5.2" it's gonna be non-removable, though I wouldn't mind if the battery life is better than G2.
