    Got this phone on sale for $299 couldn't miss the opportunity. When I received it I was so excited packaging is beautiful and so is the device. The OS is smooth and I love Android 6.0 It's not so powerful which is the downside since I do a lot on my phone and It doesn't always handle it well but if you don't do a lot it'll be a good phone for you. I've gone through a bunch of phones, G2 S4 G4 S6 and 2014 Moto X but this one is my favorite so far and is the cheapest of them all at well the times that they were released. I love it

    This phone has held up to the standard I expect when purchasing a phone. The fingerprint scanner has become a go-to feature for me. It allow easy access to purchase items from the google store, unloacking my phone and using android pay.

    Previous to this phone I had the Nexus 5 for two years. After a cracked screen and significantly diminished battery I decided to upgrade. The 5X is very similar overall. It is a little larger than I would like but manageable. Most importantly, the battery lasts almost a full day with moderate use.

    This is my first Nexus phone. Moved to it from a moto x. The camera is better than the moto x as well as the battery life. I like the fact that it is pure Android.

    I love everything about this phone. Android seems to have surpassed Apple and the kicker is you have all these hardware companies competing with each other. There's a reason why a top-of-the-line iPhone is $600 vs. $400 (or less) for Android.
