    I went from an iPhone 6 to this phone, I was a little skeptical because of the camera on the iPhone but wow this LG nexus camera blows the iPhone 6 camera out of the water. Not to mention overall speed and functionality of this phone is amazing. I have not been this happy with a phone / camera in a long time.

    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.

    I bought this phone for my girl friend and have been extremely pleased with how it works. She was upgraded from one of the cheaper model Android phones. She is comfortable with Android OS so we stayed with this phone. After over 6 months of ownership the phone is still working great. I have the iPhone 6s for comparison...and the camera in particular stands out on this phone. I liked the pictures taken in lower light situations better than what my iPhone 6S did in comparison (we took pictures of the same events and compared who got the better shot). No real problems with the Android OS. I had a Samsung Galaxy S4 prior to my iPhone .... and hated that phone so was leery of spending too much for another Android. But for the money this was the best deal...and worked out as well I could have expected.

    This phone is the perfect size for anyone with smaller hands. It has a clear display and takes great photos/video. It supports many different provider networks when unlocked. What a great phone!

    This is an OK Entry Level Phone

    This is an OK phone that does not do anything special. It obviously is not a best seller because it has dropped $80 in price since I purchased it less than 2 months ago. The camera is Pretty Good, but it has no special features like the Samsung, LG, or HTC branded phones. For Just a Bare Bones Android Experience, this is a good phone. The worst part is having to use Google Hangouts to send and receive SMS Text messages through your Cell Phone Carrier. It really makes it a pain in the butt to send & receive texts. Other than that, It makes calls fine, it can display web pages, you can play games, and the navigation is pretty good. For the Price, this is an OK Phone. If you don't want to shell out $600 for an iPhone for your 6th grader, this is a perfect phone to get them instead. However, their friends will still laugh at them for not having an Apple iPhone. But save your money, Apple Products are Way Over-Priced and can only do just about anything this phone does.

    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.

    Bought this for my wife. She is very satisfied with this phone. It has a decent camera and a nice upgrade from her 3 year old phone. For being one year old, its not much of a downgrade from most phones today. Camera takes decent pictures in low light. The screen may look darker when taking the pictures, but will lighten up when you view the photo. For being last years nexus phone, its a good purchase. Worth the wait to get after prices are reduced. As are all nexus phones, overpriced.

    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 have the Nexus 6p which fits fine in my large hands. My wife wanted a smaller phone so we picked this one. The build quality is very good, nice screen and of course, the benefit of getting the latest Android releases hot off the presses with no bloat ware. Haven't had any problems with it.

    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...

    I bought this phone because it was a Nexus. That is the best way to experience Android. I had a Nexus 6 that was just too big. The difference in speed and memory is only noticeable on a couple of heavy use games. I can't tell when using email, taking pictures, or watching movies. The screen on the 5x looks better than the 6.

    This phone is great, especially that it runs Stock Android which makes it run really smooth with close to no lag at all. It has a good display at 1080p and is fast too. Brings Marshmallow out of the box and that is really cool. Definitely recommend buying if you like Stock Android.
