Google Nexus 5X Review

    See other variants reviews Score: 73.7 / 100

Google Nexus 5X is a fascinating phone launched back in 2015, which counts with a 1800 megahertz Hexa-Core processing unit, a big 5.2-inches screen, and 2 cameras, a 12.3 MP back-facing camera and a 5 megapixels front-facing camera. Great! That's it? Not at all, it's only the beginning.

Google decided to design this cellphone using a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 MSM8992 chip, holding a great Hexa-Core CPU running at 1.8 GHz with a large 2 GB of RAM. A good point of the Google Nexus 5X is its 32 GB large internal memory and even though it doesn't have an SD memory card expansion slot, it it is more than enough to install tons of applications, games, pictures and videos without thinking about running out of space at all.

Google sells this cellphone in 3 color options: black, blue and white. Google has made a very nice design job making this phone weight only 4.8 ounces. Whereas this phone is only 5.79 inches long and 2.86" wide, it still manages to hold a 5.2" screen. Being just 0.31" thick,this phone is extremely thin and stilized. Regarding its design materials, this device is made with Plastic .

Google equipped this phone with an astonishing 5.2" display, and a resolution of 1080 x 1920 (Full HD), which makes all images and videos look beautiful and brightful.

This cellphone features two cameras, a 12.3 MP back camera and a 5 mega-pixels front-facing camera. this phone's back camera lens has a maximum 2 aperture so it can take awesome photographs even in low light conditions. It is also able to capture 3840x2160 4K videos at 30 fps, and slow-motion videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 120 frames per second.

The Google Nexus 5X uses an incredible 2700 mAh Li - Ion non-replaceable battery that can keep it running for many hours and even reach the end of the day without charging it at all. An issue to take into consideration is that this cellphone's battery is non-removable so you can't change it when it starts to last shorter, though with this big battery you will probably buy a new cellphone before it becomes a real problem.

The Google Nexus 5X has wi-fi capability (which it can share with other devices acting as a wireless modem or router), 4G (LTE-A) , the fastest internet connection and the fastest 3G connection type, using HSPA and HSUPA technologies. This device uses a Nano SIM card for GSM carriers.

This phone also features a wide range of great features like Fingerprint Sensor, Near Field Communication (NFC), Bluetooth (for communication with other phones, computers and accessories) and GPS Navigation, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.

This cellphone is being sold for around 429 dollars, high for comparing with other similar devices. This cellphone is probably the right one for you no matter whether you are looking for a gamer phone, are looking for a work cellphone, need a device to mostly use social networks or want this cellphone to take many photos.
