i don't like the bulky camera and the looks of the weird fingerprint scanner at the back, it feels like there was a brand logo that was removed from there. however the front looks decent to me cause of the dual speaker
TestedMATTIA No, it's 479€ (whereas it's for 379$ in US, which is around 340€) the N5X 16Go without SD card and plastic body ! Joke of the year, even the LG G4 cost less !
some things that are not mentioned..does it have wireless charging? does it have stabilization on the camera? and big one for me. does it have a notification light? cheers
I completely agree, the old N5 looked much better in ever way, it was unique looking and had a great design, I just can't bring myself to like this new one
+Wabouw Bouw shit yea I just looked it up and it's like they're not even there I guess there might be some damage issues having them so close to the edge of the phone but still Google should take note Tbh I think when I have the money I'll upgrade from my 5 to a 6 or the Moto x style
The frontal display of Nexus 5 is still the best looking to be found on any other, sleek n that slight curve on the top. 5X seems a little toyyish with the design format. Rest the upgraded version is obviously gonna be best but Nexus 5 would always be close to heart
does the 5X has stereo (dual) front facing speakers? google tech spec sheet stated only single speaker. extremely disappointing. can you also showcase the fingerprint unlock? does it need to power on before unlocking? is it a hold and press down fingerprint button/scanner or a touch-base scanner? any double tap to wake AND double tap to sleep?
reasons why the 5X doesn't really deserve the name besides having the "5 inch display" 1. doesn't have the circle earpiece that separated it from the crowd. 2. bezels are bigger 3. Its not more rectangular than curled At the top. 4. camera module should've just kept the same look as the original nexus 5. It shouldn't look like a damn Volcano.
i was hoping it'd look a little cleaner on the back and smaller bezels. love the new finger scanner though. not sure what to think of it. btw I'm watching on my nexus 5 right now
Still using my Nexus 5. Apart from the camera and the battery life the phone is just so great. I love the design and it functions really well (Still snappy and powerful). Due for an upgrade soon so I guess I'll go with a Galaxy S6.
Does the white and the Ice mint green phone also have soft touch plastic like the older black Nexus 5? cos i've like never dropped my black Nexus 5 in 2 years as it is so grippy.
Honestly if you have the Nexus 5 it would make more sense to upgrade to the Nexus 6 or Nexus 6P. Unless you've never owned a Nexus device it wouldn't make much sense for a Nexus enthusiast to buy the Nexus 5X if you currently own a Nexus 5 in my opinion.
That form factor is fucking terrible. Same screen size and it's substantially bigger. Defeats the purpose of the smaller screen if you're just going to make it big anyway. Both these new Nexus devices have massive bezels.
I have had the nexus 5 for a while now and I wanted to get the nexus 6 but I really didn't like how big it was. I was about to cave but now that the nexus x is launching I will be getting it Instead :)
Still have my awesome Nexus 5 and i am not thinking of changing it anytime soon, this phone is really great and the 6.0 update made it even better (for me at least).. i fucking love this phone :D
im currently a windows phone user and ive seen that the original nexus 5 is being sold for £130 on ebay, will it still be worth it? even if the phone is 2 years old?
I have bought this phone in August this year. I love it. I could choose even z3. My homie has got ip6. We've made speed test. I think that draw is good score ;)
The prices of the Nexus 5X and 6P are ridiculously high here in the Netherlands. 5X 32GB costs 529 Euro's and the 6P 32GB is 649 Euro's. With the current taxes in my country of 21% the Nexus 5X 32GB would've costed 458,50$ which is about 407 Euro's. but instead of that they are selling it for almost 130 Euro's more. This is unacceptable of google. And don't say ''but the shipping and exchange rates fuck up the price'' that's bullshit since the shipping comes out of Asia for America and Europe and the Exchange rate should've still made it less Euro's than Dollars even with Taxes!
How can Carphone Warehouse sell the LG Nexus 5X sim free for £299.99 (16GB) and £349.99 (32GB) when Google are selling them for £339 (16GB) and £379 (32GB) on the play store?
They might be importing them in someway or the other. Many things sold directly here in India are costlier than the ones that are imported even after paying import duties
rnagic yea this generation of nexus devices have unusually tall designs. Not sure how it will feel. Width is small, but reaching the notifications might be a challenge
I own a Nexus 5, and honestly I'm not temted to upgrade. I prefer te looks of the 5, and it actually still runs very nicely. plus, you're going to get the M update. That is not to say that the 5X isn't better- It certanly is! It packs a better camera, a fingerprint scanner, a larger screen, biger battery and a whole lot more. Just saying- If you own a Nexus 5 you don't have to upgrade in my opinion. But ofcourse I own the 5 so think about that.
Really think this should have at least come with either 3gb of ram or 32gb of internal storage as it's base to justify it's price. Unless the camera really is really great. In that case the price would be worth it.
if it had 3 gigs ram I wouldn't even hesitate but because it doesn't I am probably gonna buy the n6p moto x/g 2015 ops or wait for a new lg g but probably not this one
and also a bigger battery I basically want oneplus to make the next nexus 5.2-5.5 screen 3k mp battery 12 mega pixel camera with slow motion and wireless charging and NFC just so it will be there I won't actually use it
There is only ONE front facing speaker (bottom one). The top one is for phone purposes. 5X is just too big, too expensive and not enough specced against today's market (2 GB of ram and 32 GB Max storage).
Lol at all the butthurt Nexus 5 owners who are saying the 5X looks ugly. Y'all need to accept the fact that a better phone has arrived and keep fooling yourselves that you're happy with your 2 year old phone. This coming from a Nexus 4 (2012) owner who's just ordered the 5X :)
+Dener Silva Thanks! The metal frame of Nexus 6 is nice. I don't understand why does google keep using plastic frame on Nexus 5x. Whatever, no interest anymore.
i bought the nexus 5x for around 250€ . what is really a bargain. and you feel the difference between them. nexus 5x is like om every point a bit better. i see it as a cheap upgrade. so yes i gues
www.onedigitals.nl/products/lg-nexus-5x-32gb-4g-lte-ice-h791-simlockvrij?variant=30621121930 here is it the cheapest in holland. i bought at a other store when it was for sale. but i dont where u from . so best you could do is just google it and do some research where it is the most cheapest
ugh.. not really a budget phone. The 32GB 5x is $429, the 32GB 6P is $499. Not a big difference in price. disappointed in the 5x if only it had a QHD OLED and 3 gb Ram. And cutting cost is BS considering the 6P is a little more than $60 more. smh
Both 5x and 6p are big time loosers considering their pricepoint and design language..overpriced ugly looking cheapo gadgets. google will fail miserably with both 5x and 6p....and why the hell they have positioned the finger scanner at the back which will be so unconvenient to use after putting a case..such an unthoughtfull and impractical design....
I still like the nexus 5 design better
+Nat N i thought i was the only three
I thought i was the only four
i thought i was the only "Nexus" 5
i don't like the bulky camera and the looks of the weird fingerprint scanner at the back, it feels like there was a brand logo that was removed from there. however the front looks decent to me cause of the dual speaker
Nexus 5 = 350€, Nexus 5X = 479€, fuck you google...
its 379€
+TestedMATTIA still expensive. The fun part about the original n5 was the killer hardware for 350 even less in some places
+ANGRYmuffin9000 LOL it has the same processors as the LG G4 which is double the price and an awesome camera, what are you talking about ?
TestedMATTIA No, it's 479€ (whereas it's for 379$ in US, which is around 340€) the N5X 16Go without SD card and plastic body ! Joke of the year, even the LG G4 cost less !
+TestedMATTIA LG g4 is 435 on amazon, new.
So no.
some things that are not mentioned..does it have wireless charging? does it have stabilization on the camera? and big one for me. does it have a notification light? cheers
The back of the nexus 5x is just too crowded unlike the nexus 5
Agreed
It's too generic. The old 5 was unique and still is. The awesome led light, the thin bezels, the futuristic looking back. Awesome.
Agreed. They shouldn't have placed the laser autofocus right beside the flash.
I completely agree, the old N5 looked much better in ever way, it was unique looking and had a great design, I just can't bring myself to like this new one
+Eric Leonardo i think the 5x can look awesome with a nice dbrand/slickwraps cover
I actually prefer the back of 5X, but the front of 5 wins.
Yeah. The only OEM that can make front facing speakers look attractive seems to be Motorola.
+TheDeviantStrain Sony too, you don't really see it.
+Wabouw Bouw shit yea I just looked it up and it's like they're not even there
I guess there might be some damage issues having them so close to the edge of the phone but still
Google should take note
Tbh I think when I have the money I'll upgrade from my 5 to a 6 or the Moto x style
+Wabouw Bouw the 5x still looks better than the 6P though.
The frontal display of Nexus 5 is still the best looking to be found on any other, sleek n that slight curve on the top. 5X seems a little toyyish with the design format. Rest the upgraded version is obviously gonna be best but Nexus 5 would always be close to heart
I would love to see a speed test between this and the original Nexus 5.
the nexus 5 screen looks nicer than the 5X
watching this on my nexus 5 👌👌
does the 5X has stereo (dual) front facing speakers? google tech spec sheet stated only single speaker. extremely disappointing. can you also showcase the fingerprint unlock? does it need to power on before unlocking? is it a hold and press down fingerprint button/scanner or a touch-base scanner? any double tap to wake AND double tap to sleep?
Put an improved screen, CPU/GPU, and 3 GB of RAM in the older Nexus 5 body, and it would have been the perfect upgrade..
Oh, and a better camera too...
+Hiluxtaco forgot the battery
+Espen Flagtvedt Olsen Yeah. That too..
+Hiluxtaco It would actually be the perfect phone that we have been wanting for years
when r u doing full review on nexus 5x?
LG should have put the subtle top and bottom curves onto the new 5X. Is there 2 front speakers on the new N5x?
Nope, only one speaker that works :(
Nope just the one, the bottom is the reciever. Should have just left them off and made smaller bezels, makes the phone look ugly
what i dont like is that the laser autofocus and the flash are to the left and way to far, i would like them being at the bottom of the camera.
reasons why the 5X doesn't really deserve the name besides having the "5 inch display"
1. doesn't have the circle earpiece that separated it from the crowd.
2. bezels are bigger
3. Its not more rectangular than curled At the top.
4. camera module should've just kept the same look as the original nexus 5. It shouldn't look like a damn Volcano.
Nexus 5X or Note 5?
i was hoping it'd look a little cleaner on the back and smaller bezels. love the new finger scanner though. not sure what to think of it. btw I'm watching on my nexus 5 right now
How is the lcd panel on the 5x? My original nexus 5 had light bleed and washed out colors where the light leaked.
0:52 - Yeah... Same pattern, I put it for the 'M' in Marshmallow!
I still remember the days when people complained about Nexus 5 2013 that "it's too big"
will the Nexus 5X be available through different carriers as well?
Still using my Nexus 5. Apart from the camera and the battery life the phone is just so great. I love the design and it functions really well (Still snappy and powerful). Due for an upgrade soon so I guess I'll go with a Galaxy S6.
Does the white and the Ice mint green phone also have soft touch plastic like the older black Nexus 5? cos i've like never dropped my black Nexus 5 in 2 years as it is so grippy.
I would maybe pull the trigger if it had SD card expansion. Plastic square looking bezel make it look like the cheap prepaid zte for $75.
Honestly if you have the Nexus 5 it would make more sense to upgrade to the Nexus 6 or Nexus 6P. Unless you've never owned a Nexus device it wouldn't make much sense for a Nexus enthusiast to buy the Nexus 5X if you currently own a Nexus 5 in my opinion.
except I really don't like big phones and my nexus 5 is starting to show its age so for me the nexus x is a no brainer
+TheColonelAngel you're right, some may not be comfortable with a larger screen size and opt for the Nexus 5X despite the lower spec sheet.
That form factor is fucking terrible. Same screen size and it's substantially bigger. Defeats the purpose of the smaller screen if you're just going to make it big anyway. Both these new Nexus devices have massive bezels.
The screen size is .2 inches bigger than the original nexus 5 but i agree in that the bezels are big and that the back looks nods ugly
+Erik Marquez I honestly thought the Nexus 5 had a 5.2" screen too.
***** it only has one speaker up front and has pretty big bezels meanwhile the nexus 6 had dual front facing speakers and very small bezels
keep in mind: 5X has front facing speakers
Remember its only 379$, they had to cur some corners to make it that affordable
Three things really:
Once you get these:
Front facing speakers
Lower top and bottom bezels
Curved back
You dont wanna change your phone.
so 808 with 2 gb of ram? on the G4 it's 3. but looks decent kinda wish they went with 13 mp with ois.
Please do make a video about nexus protect explain aboutin detail
Should've kept the original front design and size
The Nexus 5 is $200 on Amazon right now!
I have had the nexus 5 for a while now and I wanted to get the nexus 6 but I really didn't like how big it was. I was about to cave but now that the nexus x is launching I will be getting it Instead :)
Which one is best MOTO X Style or Nexus 6p
Hope this will have positive reviews, that $379 price tag is sounding good right now
+Kevin Surjanto although you could spend 20 dollars more to get the moto x and 3 gigs of ram.
+Genghis Khan higher resolution and front facing speaker*s*
i think its a worthy sacrifice
+Genghis Khan or 20 less for the original nexus 6. Probably what I'm going to do.
+Genghis Khan and no fingerprint reader
how mutch it will cost?
Still have my awesome Nexus 5 and i am not thinking of changing it anytime soon, this phone is really great and the 6.0 update made it even better (for me at least).. i fucking love this phone :D
what about the charging port? will this device have the USB type C available?
yes
Back of the original nexus 5 looks way cleaner and better
Nexus5 front with Nexus5X back will be perfect
im currently a windows phone user and ive seen that the original nexus 5 is being sold for £130 on ebay, will it still be worth it? even if the phone is 2 years old?
yup
I have bought this phone in August this year. I love it. I could choose even z3. My homie has got ip6. We've made speed test. I think that draw is good score ;)
And I'm still using the original Nexus 5.
i only miss fingerprint scanner on my original nexus 5..nothing else from nexus 5x!!

I cant actually tell which is the new one... I love my nexus 5 2013.
How can Carphone Warehouse sell the LG Nexus 5X sim free for £299.99 (16GB) and £349.99 (32GB) when Google are selling them for £339 (16GB) and £379 (32GB) on the play store?
They might be importing them in someway or the other. Many things sold directly here in India are costlier than the ones that are imported even after paying import duties
+MrASagoo cheers for telling me that i was gonna buy it from google
Pounds and dollars isn't the same thing.
I love the OG nexus 5. wish they would have kept the new one the same size
5.2" is like the new small
+NewKingBrandon 5.2" doesn't matter. the 5X is taller than the LG G3. wtf is that about? this design is dog shit.
rnagic yea this generation of nexus devices have unusually tall designs. Not sure how it will feel. Width is small, but reaching the notifications might be a challenge
hey android people, can you do a review on lg g4s/ beat?
All I can see when looking at it is the old htc one x
0:06 Who was cracking a whip? What convention is this??
I want that 5x
Is the Nexus 5x to thick
does it suppport wierles charging?
+Cohen Itai dont think so. But you do have quick charging which is better imo
My only complaint is the storage. 32GB or 64GB should have been the base price.
how would i transfer the files from my sd card in my moto g to this?
idk, Google drive? no SD card slot...
+Jesse McClure yeah i know cn i use moto migrate do u think even if my stuff is on an sd card
+drippy31 ya' know? I really don't know you know. I think your best bet is to test it out on something.
just bought a nexus 5 32gb refurbished mint for 160. the new nexus 5x not worth 429 plus tax.
I own a Nexus 5, and honestly I'm not temted to upgrade. I prefer te looks of the 5, and it actually still runs very nicely. plus, you're going to get the M update. That is not to say that the 5X isn't better- It certanly is! It packs a better camera, a fingerprint scanner, a larger screen, biger battery and a whole lot more. Just saying- If you own a Nexus 5 you don't have to upgrade in my opinion. But ofcourse I own the 5 so think about that.
5 or 5x in 2016 everyone?
Yo Joshua, ask for copyright at those of The Verge lol
Ugh it does look much bigger than the Nexus 5, and damn those bezels.
5 looks stylish
Really think this should have at least come with either 3gb of ram or 32gb of internal storage as it's base to justify it's price. Unless the camera really is really great. In that case the price would be worth it.
Yeah, other phones with the 808 has atleast 3gb RAM
+Android Authority make a video on Nexus 5 (2013) vs Nexus 6P
Am I the only one that thinks that the nexus 5x' design is better than the older nexus 5???
Probably
Disappointed with the new Nexus series.....looks like they became really expensive devices.......better look at the Zuk Z1 and the Xiaomi 4c
happy with nexus 5 😊
5 looks better
if it had 3 gigs ram I wouldn't even hesitate but because it doesn't I am probably gonna buy the n6p moto x/g 2015 ops or wait for a new lg g
but probably not this one
and also a bigger battery
I basically want oneplus to make the next nexus
5.2-5.5 screen 3k mp battery 12 mega pixel camera with slow motion
and wireless charging
and NFC just so it will be there I won't actually use it
they could make it smaller
There is only ONE front facing speaker (bottom one). The top one is for phone purposes. 5X is just too big, too expensive and not enough specced against today's market (2 GB of ram and 32 GB Max storage).
better is subjective.

The plastic frame of Nexus 5 sucks. Does Nexus 5X have a metal one?
+Dener Silva Thanks!
The metal frame of Nexus 6 is nice. I don't understand why does google keep using plastic frame on Nexus 5x. Whatever, no interest anymore.
+Shifted Exactly same for mine. Horrible quality for a "smart" phone.
Anyone think buying the Nexus 5 is still a good investment?
i have them both
how do you think of them? I'm thinking buying the 5x
i bought the nexus 5x for around 250€ . what is really a bargain. and you feel the difference between them. nexus 5x is like om every point a bit better. i see it as a cheap upgrade. so yes i gues
hi can i ask when and where did you buy 5x for just 250€ :)
www.onedigitals.nl/products/lg-nexus-5x-32gb-4g-lte-ice-h791-simlockvrij?variant=30621121930 here is it the cheapest in holland. i bought at a other store when it was for sale. but i dont where u from . so best you could do is just google it and do some research where it is the most cheapest
2GB of ram?! Come on now...
Despite that design, the phone will still do good. After all, it's a nexus. ;)
That pattern lock ....
i think it was set by MKBHD 😂.
ugh.. not really a budget phone. The 32GB 5x is $429, the 32GB 6P is $499. Not a big difference in price. disappointed in the 5x if only it had a QHD OLED and 3 gb Ram. And cutting cost is BS considering the 6P is a little more than $60 more. smh
Nexus 5 looks much much better than 5X
nexus 5 still beautiful and update.....
To me the nexus 5 looks a lot better.
2700 mAh come on...
lol Donald trump
toi expansive in France 479€ it's a joke
moto x pure ftw
ugh... disappointed. Nexus 5 original is still better in regards to design...
The nexus 5 is better than X
still nexus 5 is Best
I have a nexus 5 and its beta than ever! (nexus 5x looks terrible)
a amazzing
too expansive sorry
ya'll complain so much lol
5x is uglier imo tho.
too bad design
5x looks like smelly garbage compared to other handsets you can get for the same price or less
get wreck iphone 6s
it cant beat the iphone 6s bro
iphone 6s suck bro
3rd
5th
4th ! ! ! !
first
Both 5x and 6p are big time loosers considering their pricepoint and design language..overpriced ugly looking cheapo gadgets. google will fail miserably with both 5x and 6p....and why the hell they have positioned the finger scanner at the back which will be so unconvenient to use after putting a case..such an unthoughtfull and impractical design....
