hey how's it going guys this is Dave 2d and this is my video on the Nexus 5x and the Nexus 6p so originally I was going to split them up into two separate videos one for each phone but then as I use them I realize there just be better quality content to make one video to tie everything together so here it is my Nexus 5x and 6p review let's do it both of these are slightly bigger boxes than past Nexus devices and when you pop them open you get the devices themselves a 15 watt charger and a charging cable that has USB C on both ends the Nexus 6p also comes with a short second cable so this Cable has USB C on one end and a standard USB a on the other end and they also come with sim tools paperwork and a 90-day trial of Google music if you haven't used it before okay so when images of these phones were leaked on the Internet not gonna lie I didn't like them they looked really different from anything I've used before and the camera humps on both of the phones they looks really weird but after using them for a week they've really grown on me I don't love the hump on the 5x or that visor thing on the 6p but doesn't bother being that much anymore if you want to keep the visor a little stealth go for the block model it'll kind of hide it but if you like white or silver phones you can always get a skin for right dbrand always makes good skins and you can get like a matte white skin for that visor it'll probably look pretty good the 5x is made by LG it's made of plastic smooth and hard finish we didn't get soft touch this year but it feels really well-made and it's durable so if you have small hands or if you prefer a smaller phone this might be a better fit for you you can easily hold it in one hand and for the most part you can kind of use it in one hand as well the 6p is made by Huawei and it's made from aluminum it definitely feels and looks more premium and has chamfered edges all around it so it's really comfortable to hold it's about a quarter inch smaller and width then the Nexus 6 from last year which always thought was a little wide so most people will be able to hold this phone in one hand but if you want to use it one-handed you're going to need some pretty big hands now going around the devices on the left side they both have a sim slot on the bottom they both have USB C charging ports on the right side we have volume rockers and power buttons and the 6p has a text power button which I always like and the headphone jacks are on the top for the 6p and on the bottom for the 5x ok the screens the 5x has a 1080p IPS panel covered in Gorilla Glass 3 the 6p has a quad HD AMOLED panel covered in Gorilla Glass 4 so the 5x screen is pretty good when you view it by itself it looks really crisp colors are really accurate and the viewing angles are really good it's not super bright but overall it's a really good quality screen but then you compare to the 6p and this is a crazy good screen it's a Samsung panel and the default settings are a little oversaturated but you put it into srgb mode and it's a very color accurate super-crispy screen it's bright and I would put this on par with the note 5 screen maybe not as bright but you're going to love this screen they both look like they have front-facing stereo speakers the 6p does sounds pretty good just on as rich as HTC's boomsound but the 5x is a mono speaker the top portion is just an earpiece only the bottom one is a speaker it sounds similar to the 6p just a little quieter and obviously not stereo ok let's talk about the camera they both share the same camera 12 megapixel laser autofocus and for a Nexus device the camera is superb photos with good lighting are excellent photos in dim light are pretty good the dynamic range when it's really right isn't great so for outdoor shots you get some clipping on the whites and you lose some detail it records 4k video at 30 frames per second which looks really nice the 6p has better slow motion video at 240 frames per second instead of 120 on the 5x and the camera app feels a little quicker on the 6p but the images between the two are really similar visually I prefer the photos from the note 5 or the g4 on the iPhone 6s but the photos on the 6p and the 5x are right up there with like the best smartphone cameras which is crazy right considering that this is a Nexus device the front-facing cameras are five megapixel on the 5x 8 megapixel on the 6p I know right I'm so good-looking they both have fingerprint sensors on the back cover and now it seems oddly position at first but you get used to it quickly and I'm at the point where a prefer a fingerprint sensor on the back you just get way better grip on the phone as you unlock I mean look at this grip you could slap someone pretty good as you unlock the phone but when you unlock a phone with the front sensor mmm you know what I mean like it works fine we've been using it for years but it's just not as natural of a grip now one thing though if you get a notification or if you want to do something with the phone while it's sitting on a table you got to pick it up to unlock it right so you just got to drill a hole in your table for your finger okay so in terms of unlocking speed I couldn't tell the difference between the two they're both really really fast and they seem to be faster than the iPhone 6s which is already super fast it's an excellent sensor and really well integrated into marshmallow speaking of which they're both running stock Android 6.0 marshmallow which is basically Google's vision of what the true Android experience should be there's no skin on the interface there's no bloatware there's like very few Google apps installed even I really like it and the best part is you get updates from Google really quickly like Nexus devices get updates first so that's always cool the 5x runs a Snapdragon 808 with 2 gigs of ram the 6p is running an 810 with 3 gigs of RAM now the 810 is I mean it's a little faster it's an 8 core instead of a 6 core there isn't a huge difference but it's noticeable when you run them side-by-side so the two scenarios that I found with the most obvious performance differences between the phones is multitasking and the stock camera app I mean multitasking it's a little quicker on the 6p especially switching between games and the camera app is just a lot snappier on the 6p it's quicker to load it scripted to shoot but for the most part unless you're comparing benchmarks or something you're not going to get a huge difference between the two battery life is pretty good I'm easily getting a day and a half of regular use on the 6p and around a date on the 5x charging is done with USB see now I know it's the future but right now I don't have enough use PC cables to make it like super convenient but I'm close and I'll be worth it soon now there's no wireless charging which is a little bit of a bummer but the 15 more charges they include juice up the phones pretty fast it takes about one hour to charge the 5x and a little over an hour and a half to charge the 6p so it's not too bad ok let's do a recap Nexus 5x plastic body solid build quality it has a single front facing speaker that sounds ok the Nexus 6p more premium aluminum build it's bigger it's heavier and it has stereo speakers they're louder but they still don't sound amazing 1080p screen on the 5x it's pretty solid good colors good viewing angles but not super bright quad HD screen on the 6p fantastic screen that's basically as good as the one on the note 5 5 megapixel front-facing camera on the 5 X 8 megapixel on the 6p a noticeable difference in image quality between the two if you care about selfies on the back both of them have the same 12 megapixel camera excellent in daylight very good in dim light just really solid cameras there's also fingerprint sensors back here that are super fast and on the inside we have batteries that will last you about a day on the 5x and a day and a half on the 6p this is with regular use a Snapdragon 808 in the 5x and an 810 in the 6p both are strong performers and sufficient for any kind of smartphone user except for the camera app which is little slow on the 5x storage is not expandable you start at 16 gigs for the 5x which running $380 and for the 6p storage starts at 32 gigs which runs you $500 ok closing thoughts there's a lot to like about both of these phones but to me the start of the show is the 6p if you're looking for an Android phone and you don't need xpanel storage this should be on the very top of your shortlist or at least near the top it's not the best phone in the world I mean there's things that aren't perfect about it but to me this is the best Android phone of 2015 as for the 5x it's a good phone it's actually a very good phone but if you look it's overpriced by like 80 to maybe even $100 if you paid an extra 20 bucks you could get a Moto X pure and I feel like you're getting a lot more phone for the price unless you need a really small phone because there's not that many 5.2 inch phones in 2015 if you're an Apple user I mean it's difficult to leave the Apple ecosystem I understand that but if you're interested in giving it a shot I think these two phones are the best choices to try the Android experience out with therefore one Google phones I mean you have a good return policy with Google you get a couple weeks to try it out if you don't like it return it but more importantly you get a super stock Android experience and that to me is most similar to like the whole stock Apple experience that's the end of the review hope you guys liked it thumbs we did subs if you loved it it's been nice I'll see you guys next time
