hey what is up guys I'm kV HD here and this is Nexus 5x didn't forget about it I just started testing it after I was done with Nexus 6p I'm gonna make this one really short and sweet because essentially this is the same exact software as Nexus 6p but different hardware so in name and in person the Nexus 5x is actually a successor to the beloved Nexus 5 from two years ago it's made by LG again - and it keeps a lot of the Stormtrooper panda looks from that phone and then brings them into the world of 2015 specs and this is what a lot of people were looking for in a new Nexus and I like it a lot it keeps those flat sides for easy grip and soft touch finish everywhere this time and just overall a pretty clean design even with the huge Nexus font on the back so when comparing it to the Nexus 5 I actually kind of like the new design a little bit better though with the exception of the slightly bigger camera hump which just means a little rock a bit if you try to text while it's on a table but yeah overall this phone feels good to me it's lightweight especially when compared to some metal phones some have said like it feels cheap without any metal and I do tend to agree a bit but I've had no problems with the actual build it's put together very well and the smaller design makes it easier to grip than the bigger phones especially with that fingerprint reader which I realize might have been harder to reach on the back of the 6p for people with bigger hands now in this smaller body you got a smaller display a 5-inch 1080p panel but more importantly it's an LCD panel now instead of an AMOLED which means colors are a bit less saturated and definitely pops less but this isn't something most people will notice until I guess you hold it side by side with a much better screen and 1080p at this size is still 423 PPI so it's still plenty sharp the one place I notice the LCD making a difference is when ambient display turns on especially at night when you can see the whole display light up even though it's supposed to be black interestingly though I didn't see this have much of an effect on battery life and speaking of battery that's another thing that's different in this phone so smaller phone equals smaller battery and the Nexus 5x is rocking a twenty seven hundred million Bauer cell so it's actually not that small but it's not thirty four hundred million powers or anything so it's a decent size for what's inside and battery life is pretty average I have no problems getting through a day of what I consider normally use you know plenty of Twitter email and feedly stuff like that but I pretty much never made it past a full day what's nice though is Android 6.0 is best new feature is doze and I've noticed this with pretty much every marshmallow phone I've tested standby time is excellent actually while I was testing Nexus 6p I had this 5x on my desk for literally a week still signed in and pulling notifications and everything and it was fine so if you're a lighter user and your phone spends more time in standby mode you'll have no problem with battery life here and this is the USB type-c phone also as we expected with new nexuses and thankfully there is rapid charging here even faster terms of percentage than the 6p since the battery is smaller so we're talking something like four hours of use from 10 minutes of being plugged in all right the other largest difference between Nexus 5x and 6p would just be what's inside the specs and as a $400 phone Nexus 5x kind of has what you would expect in an upper mid tier device Snapdragon 808 and 2 gigabytes of RAM and the performance is pretty good with stock Android now naturally there's some concern that since it's not super high-end there will be some lag or delay but I really haven't found that and graphics performance is just pushing 1080p so it's been just fine smooth all around the gigabyte less of RAM might be more of an important loss if you're someone who multitasks a lot but even so apps open quickly and switching back and forth between them has been a breeze and Nexus 5x handles heavy stuff like gaming really well - again at 1080p in fact I think the only place I saw lag more than once or twice was the camera app and this is actually the same with me on the 6p after a while you can double tap the power button to open it quickly and sometimes it load it up nice and quick and you can take the shot other times it hesitated big time and actually miss the shot so this is probably the one app in marshmallow that I've had any sort of performance issues with but once you get in a groove and use this phone with normal use it's pretty much fine oh and speaking of the camera this phone is rocking the exact same optics and sensor as the Nexus 6p so no difference in image quality there which is great because actually actually a pretty good camera the only minor difference is the processor is capable with pushing 120 frames per second slow motion instead of 240 but if you're interested in image quality samples I'll have a link below to that this is a great camera for the price of the phone and you also have the fingerprint sensor on the back in the same place it's a little bit easier to reach since the phones of it smaller and I'm not sure if it's the same sensor as the one in the Huawei made 6p but it doesn't really matter because it's also really good setup was a breeze took less than 20 seconds probably and this fingerprint sensor is super quick and accurate every time I'm glad I have it set up and that's it past all your hardware is just stock Android 6.0 marshmallow there aren't a whole lot of surface bells and whistles it's just pure clean functional experience like that we use from previous nexuses and i think that suits this phone really well nice and clean Hardware nice and clean software overall oh very well rounded device and a really nice sequel to Nexus 5 so overall with Nexus 5x it isn't the best phone at its budget or anything like that but it is one of the best and really you were looking forward to Nexus or if you're a nexus guy if you wanted a refresh over the Nexus 5 then this is the phone you're looking forward to so overall that's what I recommend the phone to people who want the Nexus device people who want an unlock device people who want that pure stock Android experience and people who want to be first in line for updates not second not third must be first so that's what this device will get you for the price that's basically it thank you for watching this review video if you enjoyed it -
