Returns league LG’s Nexus waited a long time: it the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 is still considered the standard. But the reality is, unfortunately, the expectations did not coincide – the device though stuffed to the max, but its characteristics are a delight only on paper.
Appearance and Ergonomics
The very first thought that arises when looking at a smartphone: it is not LG. This is clearly a product that goes against all the design units, which the company followed the development of the smart phone. That is, if it were not for the small logo on the back cover, then recognize the chubby smartphone products Korean giant would be difficult.
Visually it is closest, perhaps to Nexus 6. And it is only due to the characteristic stripes speaker and microphone on the front panel. The form of the body, in fact, too – if the smartphone LG is usually thick with narrowing of center to the edges (it is on the back, of course), here turned kind monoobёmnik – with a slight bend at the ends for a comfortable grip.
The grip really comfortable, fingers clearly fall on all controls, large meals and the volume (power – on, get used to it quickly), the index – on the fingerprint. This scanner, by the way, anything other than a metal ringlet, stands out: both visually and to the touch it is made of the same plastic as the cover. and acquaintances other smartphones deepening the pin there. However, it do not need to – ring its function pointing finger on the scanner performs more than good. And it is, let’s be objective, only to somehow catchy look design element smartphone.
We should talk about connectors. Or rather, about one of them. I must confess that at first we have forgotten that there is not a micro-USB, as a newfangled USB Type-C. And the first time I tried to load it from the usual editorial cable, then suffered a slight debacle, and we had to urgently ask us more and transactions. He came bundled with the company’s fork, which … well, the connector is also USB Type-C.
and connect this cable smartphone to the computer will be possible only if you have a 12-inch Macbook. Or Chromebook Pixel. In general, something exotic. In the case of all the remaining computers will have to find an adapter which I only recently began to see the backyard Aliexpress and elsewhere.
Display
Yes, bright. Yes, with good color. Yes, the pixels are not visible. Yes, the viewing angles are maximum. But tell me any other modern smartphone in this price category, which bad screen. That’s right. And the LG this can not be, by definition – they manufacture screens all his.
Hardware
Nexus would not Nexus, if there was no advanced hardware. As a result, received a six-5X Qualcomm processor 808 (810 not supposed rank) with a clock frequency of 1.8 GHz and 2 GB (gigabytes third, again, do not fits into the “roster”). However, even though the “derating” toppings, smartphone owners complain is not that. It’s hard to think of a task that would have loaded the iron. Everyone’s favorite test AnTuTu only confirms my words: 55-odd thousand give points not every smartphone.
Operating System
It is foolish to even hope that the Nexus operating system differs from the stock Android. Actually, this is a clean robot zefirka is. His detailed review has already appeared on our website, so more is to dwell on the chip, which is there only in a select number of smartphones – on the fingerprint scanner.
Yes, Nexus 5X, for the first time in the series, there was a native support fingerprint scanner, called Nexus Imprint, which allows to protect your smartphone and stored in it information. Fires scanner instantly – just lean against the finger to the ring, as the smartphone comes to life. Therefore, a power button to forget quickly.
In addition to protection of the smartphone Scanner is needed for authorization does not work in Russia Android Pay and … and, in general, everything. So far, Google is nothing built into Android, in contrast to the same Huawei, where fingerprint acts touchpad button halfway and cleaning panel notification.
Camera
But with the quality of shooting here in order. 12.3-megapixel camera can shoot like a good day (more she did not know how), and in the darkness, the noise is not critical, the black sky is really black and not grainy and light lamps do not turn to mush. In fact, in the darkness of great help to shoot HDR, which Nexus 5X extremely delicate and enjoyable.
Hours
We are accustomed to the fact that in flagship smartphones are always the biggest, most powerful, the most-most batteries. And, in principle, from the device of this size expect something at least 3000 mAh. But in fact there the battery is more modest, all 2700 mAh.
It is, in principle, enough for a day of moderate battery life (without throwing birds and spreading of chocolates), but still have a couple of times there were surprises: for example, lying in a bag smart phone is not connected to the Internet, suddenly one day burned 35% of the charge. Nowhere. And then stabilized. I sincerely hope that this is due to the fact that the Nexus 5X our pre-production.
Summary
Yet Nexus 5X – this is not the representative of the ruler Nexus, which admired and even reverence among geeks. Nexus 5X – this is just a smartphone. This is the most capacious definition of it.
Yes, it is powerful, fast will always get the most current version of Android, and so on, but the emotion from him absolutely no. No delight of simplicity, both in the Nexus 5 and 7, no joy of stylish design Nexus 4. Just smartphone. Over 38 thousand rubles.
