This year Google has two models Nexus 5 x And Nexus 6 p Have introduced In this way, the company has introduced a metal body device on one side and a device with a great performance focused on the main market on the other side. Through both these handsets, Google is also trying to show how there should be devices running on Android 6.0 (Marshmallow).
We LG Google Nexus 5X Are reviewing, which is a little cheaper. Will this handset be able to make its own identity like the old smartphone of its family? Let’s know.
Look and design
Nexus 5X has been developed keeping in mind the utility. The speaker Grill on its front panel is like Motorola’s Moto X series smartphone.
It is not easy to hold this device with a 5.2 -inch display in one hand for a long time. The power button is on the right side. Volume rockers exist just below it.
On the left side is a single Nano SIM tray. There is no option for the second SIM and micro SD card. We had to face problems with the sim tray. This was not easily fit and sometimes it came out itself. The 3.5 mm socket is at the bottom. The most interesting is the presence of USB Type-C port.
Overall, we are not very satisfied with the texture of Nexus 5X. The bulge around the camera was more than our choice. Many times we inadvertently touched the camera lens while touching the fingerprint sensor. However, this problem will continue to use the device.
Specification
This handset is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor and is integrated for graphics Adreno 418 graphics. The device also has 2 GB of RAM. At the time of purchasing the handset, you will have the option of 16 GB or 32 GB storage. It does not have support for microSD card.
The screen is 5.2 inches, it is not very big. Its resolution is 1080×1920 pixels with pixel density 423 PPI. The screen looks very crisp and clean. It has a 2700 mAh battery. It is equipped with Wi-Fi AC, Bluetooth 4.2, NFC and category 6 LTE feature. You will get a 12.3 megapixel rear camera with dual-LED flash. With the Primary camera of Nexus 5X, you will be able to record videos of 4 of the resolution. Many people will be disappointed that the Nexus 5X does not have wireless charging.
Software
The biggest feature of the Nexus device is Google’s Pure Android experience. The latest Nexus handset is equipped with Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Initially you will feel that the new operating system is not very different from the lollipop version, but as you do more research, the difference will start to appear. Now you will be able to scroll vertically in the app drawer. It will be seen in a single list.
Google Now has become more powerful than before. If you press the home button for a long time for your action on the screen, you will get the results in relation to it. Now you can search from your home screen itself. You will see results related to apps, chrome history, contacts and media. The four apps you use again and again will appear in the top list.
OK Google Voice Command is always active in the phone. It was easily working for us even in a noisy environment. Google has made revolutionary changes about the app permission this time.
The Nexus 5X ambient in Google’s tongue is equipped with a display. With its help, notifications will be seen on the screen and not much power will be used. As soon as you pick up the phone in your hands, it will automatically realize it and the screen will go into monochrome mode. However, during the use we faced problems in this function.
It is very easy to set up the fingerprint and if you touch the sensor in any angle, it will recognize your fingerprint.
A new dose mode comes with Marshmallow, which has claimed the device’s battery life to improve. Whenever your phone is not in active mode, this feature will automatically send the device to the power state. During this time many apps will not be able to work in the background.
However, it also has some shortcomings. Now you will not be able to know the battery percentage easily. The notification light is also off many times. For this, you have to go to the settings and make changes.
Camera
The camera app has become better than the previous version. However, you will not immediately understand how to switch between mode.
The performance of Nexus 5X was good in terms of taking photos. Textures were quite detailed, lack of compression very little. We managed to take some magnificent close shots in the delite. Colors were vibrant and the exposure was also usually very correct. Even at night, the camera managed to take good pictures. However, this was not possible when the subject was completely in shadow. On reviewing the photo in uniform size, noise started appearing, the focus also got messed up many times. The front camera will prove useful for video chatting.
Performance
Nexus 5X gave us a beautiful feeling most of the time. The handset never slows down when researching in the operating system with such hardware. 2 GB of RAM is suitable. We reviewed a 32 GB storage device, out of which 24.9 GB is available for the user. That is, in the 16 GB model, users would like to install not much heavy apps.
It was pleasant to use the screen under all circumstances. It becomes bright and dim from the situation which we liked. All our sample videos run easily on Nexus 5X. The sound was coming well from the front speaker of the phone.
We did not even face the problem of heating of the phone. It was a bit hot after playing the game for 20 consecutive minutes, but there was no problem. Connectivity with LTE network was also good and we have no complaints about voice quality.
In the video loop battery test, the phone lasted for 9 hours 30 minutes. These results are good, not fantastic at all.
Our decision
Google’s Nexus phone has been appreciated by most people. The new Nexus 5X is especially important for those who were disappointed with the size and price of Nexus 6. Users who are thinking of upgrading to Nexus 4 or 5 will be happy with Nexus 5X.
Pure Android experience with Marshmallow also remains intact. It is more polished than before. Google has also tried to remove the complaint of poor camera quality this time. On the other hand, it does not have support for microSD card.
Nexus 5X is an excellent phone, but for 16 GB, Rs 31,900 and Rs 35,900 for 32 GB will not be appropriate to many users. The reality of Android Market is that in today’s date, many devices with similar features and specifications in the market are available at a lower price. If you do not have any complaint about the price, then you have options for great device like Samsung Galaxy S6.
