last week we reviewed this funky-looking new smartphone it's called the Robin and it's made by a company called next fits which does a lot like Nexus but this is a nexus or more specifically a Nexus 5x which launched late last year the phones have a lot of similarities despite the fact that this one comes from a small start-up that ran a Kickstarter campaign and this one comes from Google which is not a small start-up it's like an owner of two dozen startups so if you're in the market for a newer unlocked 300 and something dollar Android smartphone which one is right for you they're both unlocked phones that aren't super expensive this one costs $399 and this one costs $349 unlocked both run on Google Android I have to say that I like the next bits design it's hard edges might not be for everybody but at least it looks different from most smartphones the Nexus 5x is fine but it's more like a stock Android phone it's not a fancy phone this one's made of plastic so is this one this one has a 5.2 inch full HD display so does this one this one charges via USB type-c so does this one this one runs on a snapdragon 808 processor when do I have an echo over here so does this one this one also has a fingerprint sensor that unlocks the phone right here in the back and it's super fast this one has a fingerprint sensor too although it's on the power button it's not down here this is actually a speaker the Nexus 5x has a twelve point three megapixel rear camera and a five megapixel front camera well the next bit Robin has a 13 megapixel rear facing camera and a 5-megapixel selfie camera but the Nexus 5x this camera is faster and in my opinion takes better photos what about battery life battery life is about the same on both of these phones it will reliably get you through a full day of average juice but don't expect phablet battery life okay so what's different about these phones sin X is 5x runs on the latest version of Google Android and so does this one but next vid has a really interesting way of managing storage basically when you start to run out of space phone comes with 32 gigabytes next bit will uninstall the apps that you're not using and compress some of your photos to free up more space also this one currently only runs on AT&T and t-mobile with support for more carriers to come the Nexus 5x works on all the major US networks so which one is my favorite well I do like the design of the next bit it's different when I pulled it in my bag people would say whoa what phone is that and I think the way that it manages storage is pretty cool but if I had to pick one right now I'd probably still go with the Nexus 5x not only is it less expensive but it works on the wireless network that I happen to be on right now but maybe there are other criteria that matter more to you and we hope this video helped you make your decision thanks for watching I'm Lauren good from the verge and remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel what she said did you just say that's what she said
