LG - Google Nexus 5X 4G with 32GB Memory Cell Phone (Unlocked) - Carbon

Overall, I'm liking my N5X. The camera alone has been worth the upgrade. Wanting to replace my Moto X (G2) with a Nexus, I also considered the 6P, but frankly it's just too big and, oddly enough, too premium with its materials: Glass and aluminum look nice but are super slippery, which means you have to slap an ugly old case on it. I wanted something more practical, with a unique enough design and color (the Ice, in my case) but not too flashy, and the N5X fit the bill. Here are my pros (+) and cons (-) so far: + Marshmallow. There are still some bugs, but it's fun to get to know the latest and greatest Android OS. And since it's a Nexus, I'll get the next upgrade first, which is a positive (despite the bugs). + Fingerprint sensor is so handy, pun intended. + I like the headphone jack at the bottom of the phone. At first I thought it would hate it, but I actually prefer it as I find it's less prone to getting tangled. + Camera is solid, especially in low light. - The camera app, however, can be buggy and slow. And as others have said, the feature set is simplistic. That's fine by me since I rarely mess with the settings, but for power users that could be a problem. + The display is nice and sharp, even in bright daylight. - On that note, the touchscreen is sometimes unresponsive, especially along the edges - I miss the motion sensor on my Moto X, which displays the time with a wave of your hand. To remedy that, I installed the Wakeup Touch Nexus app, which does the job though not as elegantly. - The ambient display is good, but not as good as Moto's Active Display mostly because it is too brief a flash and doesn't display enough times. - Now on Tap isn't as useful as I'd hoped, so I'm not in the habit of using it yet. - Why did Google take away the swipe-up gesture from the home button? I used that to fire up alternate launchers like App Swap, but now I have to choose between that and Now on Tap. They could've kept both and then I could have both Now on Tap and another launcher.

My 1st smart phone so I have nothing to compare it to. I purchased it because I'm looking to switch to Google Fi. After 2 weeks I've had no problems, camera takes good pix although not comparable to the quality of my Canon t6i. Android interface is straight forward and for me it seems like the right size thinking the larger size phones appear awkward to handle and carry.

This is my first Nexus phone and I'm loving it! All of the other Android phones that I've owned are loaded with bloatware and the extra UI layer that the phone manufacturer adds on to Android just ends up getting in the way. Having clean Android OS and instant access to all of the latest Android updates is great! My favorite features of the phone are the excellent finger print reader and the crisp screen. I'm using the phone with Google Fi as my service provider and that is working great as well (and saving me a bunch of money!)

I really like my Nexus 5x - 4.5 stars. Previously, I used a Moto X (another great phone). It is pure android. Marshmallow has some great features. The fingerprint scanner is the best feature so far. I can use it as I am pulling my phone from my pocket and it is unlocked by the time I look at the screen. Pros: -Pure android: secure, fast, and zero bloatware -fingerprint scanner has become a go to feature -marshmallow is full of new features. My favorite besides the fingerprint is the ability to allow/disallow app permissions. This gives me full control of what each app can access. -Size: I think it is a perfect size. Large screen for viewing media, but small enough to still fit inside my pocket or my wife's small purse. -Camera take really nice images, especially in low light. -it charges fast -it'll hold a charge for a full day unless you're watching movies all day -it feels solid. Oddly, plastic phones are considered cheap, but all the aluminum/metal phones seem to bend quite easily. I'll stick with plastic. -very lightweight phone -with gorilla glass I don't need a screen protector to protect from scratches so feels really smooth when using the touch screen -price: $350 was worth it. At $400 I might have waited for the Moto X 2016. Cons: -It did lag and it did hang up a few times, but updates have seemed to correct any issues. So, just be aware that out of the box it might be a bit buggy. Get the updates and power it off and on every few days for the first week or so. It worked for me. -The camera operations (not quality) require some getting use to and could be improved. Hopefully, it'll get better with updates from Google. -files are somewhat hidden, but they are there. You may want to get an app to manage folders/files. So, for $350 I have a pure android phone that is secure, fast, and full of useful features like the fingerprint scanner and Marshmallow's permission controls. It has a good camera (if you needed better you'd have a Nikon or Cannon around your neck). It charges very quickly and holds a charge all day for calls, texting, some browsing and app use. It slides in/out of my pocket nicely.

Bought 2 of these for my wife and I to use on AT&T. It's been 2 weeks and we are very happy. Switching from iOS and can't imagine going back. Stock android is the way to go.

If you are looking for a phone that is quick, smooth and has a great camera, look no further! It is fast, unlocked and up to date from Google

Google Nexus 5X is definitely worthy buying. You have a smartphone with an original android experience and at performance level which few phones at this price point can match. This smartphone also allows you to hop on Google's ProjectFi which is worth trying...

Quick pro and con list... Pros -Solid but light, nice polycarbonate body, if you like the way the old Nokia smartphones felt you'll love this. -Screen is really nice, especially in this price range -Camera is shockingly good for this price range -Decent amount of storage -Zero carrier bloat, this is clean and pure Android the way Google intended Cons -This is an 'early adopter' device, you will get updates that have bugs, but with monthly updates that often address more than security, you won't live with them very long. -This is an unlocked and 'unbranded' phone so your support is limited to Nexus discussion boards and calling Google, fine with me but if you aren't very technical this may be annoying. If you want a fast, capable phone that is easy on the wallet and will see both Android N and O it's tough to go wrong here.
