Dedicated to those who are looking for a reasonably expensive gift “under the Christmas tree.” And the previous owners “Nexus”. And just “gikam” that crazy about Android. And parents who are looking for her children a decent smartphone, which is cheaper than iPhone 6s or Glaxy S6 Edge. And …
And the king Google Nexus two sons – are both smart, but one expensive and the second is cheaper. One called LG Nexus 5X, and the second Huawei Nexus 6P. And it was the first in the tenacious paws reviewers Delfi …
(Start unpublished, and also unwritten tales).
About the main, that is, prices
Just take the golden calf by the horns: LG Nexus 5X case with 16 and 32 GB of free space, our mobile operators are standing by 479 to 539 euros. In the US, prices start at $ 380, so, of course, even the 480 euro – a lot. However, it is worth remembering that the flagship device Samsung and Apple, we are more expensive than in the US.
If you look at the camp competitors, it turns out that a new “Nexus” is almost alone. The cheapest “Iphone” – Apple iPhone 5S with 16 GB space – is with us 509 euros, while being hopelessly less attractive from a technical point of view.
Fresh (and presented in Latvia) tubes in the camp of Android with LG Nexus 5X competes only HTC One (A9), but the 16-gigabyte version of the “clone iPhone” is our serious money – almost 600 euros. With its own “Nexus” at prices competing itself LG, but its novelties at least six months. There are a host of “middling” for similar money and Samsung, but technically LG Nexus 5X them head and shoulders above. Yes, and do not like Samsung to update Android on his “Middle-class” and the new LG is not just offers the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow, but also guarantees constant and frequent updates. In light of the constant news of increasingly outrageous vulnerabilities in the operating system, guaranteed access to the latest updates – this is important.
It turns out that the LG Nexus 5X the price in our market with no one really does not compete. Anyway, if you look at brands of A +, which has long been well known. However, after a close and rather long acquaintance with innovation, we believe that in order that the handset offers it a little bit, ten percent, overstated. Why? Let’s deal.

The most important thing here – to look at what is not. Sad no slot for SD-cards, possibility of wireless charging, optical stabilizer (OIS) at the camera, the possibility to write video to 60 f / s. With that, OIS and wireless charging was the predecessor of the sample in 2013!
And the USB-port does not allow display images on an external display or TV. In general, USB-cable here – Type-C, and two-way. His feature – the incompatibility with other cables and ports. There was a desire to connect the smartphone to a computer? You will almost certainly have to look for an adapter port for Type-C in the “wild” on computers is almost never occur. Consoling possible only by the fact that the power adapter immediately powerful, 15-Wadden, so from the outlet smartphone fully charged in about an hour.
And “holds” well, especially in the script, “I went to the cottage, the phone is only needed call. ” However, the credit for this is not LG Nexus 5X, and Android 6.0 – is now operating automatically “suppresses” the applications and services that are not used for a long time. Therefore, if you do not touch the tube for some time, in the “background” it begins to consume less and less.
Strengths: body, the camera and the display

LG Nexus 5X pleasant to hold, even though the absence of metal. Boca slightly chamfered and rounded, making it easy to “pick up” the phone with a flat surfaces. The camera is located exactly in the center, and therefore although sticking out on the table smartphone is not “crawl”. By the way, the camera has a magnetic “ring” – you can connect various accessories.
The claims to the body: small, our gross muzhYtskih fingers, volume buttons, and visual symmetry of the front panel due to which the first is easily confused the top to the bottom. It is especially a shame because that lower grille “speaker” – false, there is only one speaker.
The fingerprint reader is located under the camera on the back and it is very convenient to use. Firstly, it is very fast, and secondly, it is easy, unlike gadgets of the letter S, is adjusted.
The display keeps a stiff upper lip in the bright sun, does not tire the eyes in the dark and surprising contrast and color rendition – even though technically it is not even close to the market leader. Excellent work, LG!
It is also causes positive emotions and the camera – despite the relatively modest amount of megapixels and the lack of OIS, it is “not lying” and any distortion is minimized. Yes, manual configuration is not, however, fans of photography can download or buy third-party applications and get all the manual settings of the planet – in Android 6.0 has the necessary API.
The only thing in the chamber raises questions – availability mode 4K, and if This lack of opportunity to record on 60 / sec. Why 4K device without a memory card slot (1 minute of the video – it’s about 420 MB of)? And the lack of 60 fps in 2015 – it somehow … And yes, the sound of the camera only writes mono. Maybe for Apple fans this is the norm, but a smartphone that claims to “droidnoe” leadership – it is exactly the norm is not.
Controversial aspects: everything else

If the previous “Nexus” LG has been built on a “top-end” hardware, the LG Nexus 5X filling is the most powerful on the planet. And it’s a shame, because the sauce to sell it “as a flagship, only cheaper” no longer exits. It is cheaper than the flagship, it’s true. But not as powerful. Tests conducted by third-party resources, show: LG Nexus 5X held slightly behind the current leaders. This means that, with its stuffing all right and no play will not slow down, but pleasant headroom that warms the soul owners of expensive tubes, not here. And yes, 2 GB of RAM in 2015 – as something not very serious.
The software shell too many raise questions – it’s so clean Android, as far as possible. Support “skins” there. The opportunity to work directly with a couple of programs – no. Even the number of third-party applications to zero. In our opinion, all this is a clear advantage, but the taste and color of all the markers are different and “ukrashateli” may be dissatisfied. In general, the “purity” of the operating system to keep in mind when shopping. And there is, Android 6.0 there is nothing explicitly does not bring – Google has traditionally focused on internal changes, and the aesthetics of the company is usually left to the producers.
The lack of memory card slot with the simultaneous restriction of free space to 16 or to 32 GB space – another controversial decision. For example, in the version of 16 GB for the user is somewhere 10,5 GB – it is little crime. We understand that Google really wants us to be, and you used it cloud services. But the “unlimited” mobile Internet usage in the country is approximately half the monthly cost (if you take a loan) LG Nexus 5X! Therefore, we once again call to ignore the 16-gigabyte versions: their existence is beneficial only to mobile operators, but not your wallet!
Conclusion: everything is good, but …
When using the LG Nexus 5X we wince a few times: when they realized that the cable is then severely Type-C and when discovered the lack of memory card slots. This is the biggest “little inconvenience”, but otherwise was a good smartphone. We do not know, intentionally or accidentally, but the camera and the screen turned out so cool that everything else once you close your eyes. Well, yes … but only 500 euros!
The biggest trouble LG Nexus 5X that it is very difficult to buy at the behest of the heart. Tactile orgasm from the hull Galaxy / iPhone is not here. Tears of joy from the beauty of the interface as in Huawei – not here. Deluxe Sound HTC – not here. The camera is good, but many models LG cooler “Nexus” in it. Geeks? She’s gone and she ugorayu Safety there is nothing to catch.
What remains? Price and “quantity” of the smartphone, which the buyer receives for it. And those 10% that it is, in our sense of overpayment must be considered premium Android 6.0 and constant updates that give the right to ignore all the “horror stories” about the holes in the OS.
