Compromise solutions

Nexus

Nexus 5X characterized by some disappointing compromise. First of all, it does not provide wireless charging phone. Rather, Google equipped the device USB Type-C. To some extent, this is a step forward, but users who have appreciated the benefits of wireless charging, may find it a step backward.

Nexus 5 stood its angular body, distinguishes it from other phones. 5X gained rounded corners. However, what is considered a more interesting design – a matter of taste.

What are the phones in the current season can be purchased at such prices?

When the market appeared Nexus 5 then find the same phone for $ 350 it was impossible, says Simon Hill. To say the same thing about 5X is not possible, because the market there are a number of comparable and even better offer.

After all, if consider that the Nexus 5X is 429 US dollars, which is the price of the version with a 32-gigabyte drive, it is already for more US $ 70 can buy Nexus 6P with more and clearer screen, better processor and increased RAM, 8-megapixel camera on the front, not to mention the metal case.

If you recall the Nexus 4, the it should be noted that it was the phone suddenly premium design, build and characterize the quality possessed (for its time) technical parameters inherent flagship device. And prices have started with $ 299. If Nexus 5X offered at this price, it would remain only rejoice. Even if it cost $ 350, as the Nexus 5, he would still remain in the low-end segment, said Simon Hill.

Are there any reasons why, in spite of the above applications, the price search engine submission Giant September 29, 2015 Nexus 5X should be considered reasonable?
