Today Androidofony – “hodgepodge” of heterogeneous processors, displays, buildings and, especially, the shells of the system. Given that Google does not impose a uniform look and functionality androidofonov producers (only to search, YouTube, and a pack of other services was preinstalled), Android inside many smartphones shovel manufacturers beyond recognition: the Samsung system looks one way, at Huawei have otherwise, in the same basis ASUS rethink more like something in a new way, itd.

As a result of opinion on the Android develops, like the old joke where Caruso considered incompetent because “Izzy Yesterday I sang his songs and that is not pleasant. ” Part of why Google from time to time organizes the “exhibition of achievements android economy” and release the device to the latest version of Android with no frills with some proprietary innovations.

The Nexus (the name is a family of gadgets) are almost never released as a record powerful devices of its time. Smartphones of the family have always been a little weaker than the champions, but due to constant improvements and Android updates remain relevant for longer than flagships have promoted the creators androidofonov. Because the current giants of the new version of Android out occasionally and only as a gesture of the greatest indulgence. That’s the simple way the Nexus and stand out from the gray mass. After all, a beautiful woman or whether, as the platoon personal cosmetology and plastic surgery in old age definitely go to her advantage.

Initially, the Nexus sported sub-flagship price tags, although in 2014, Google suddenly raged in all aspects of the triangle (characteristics, dimensions, price), and in the case of Russia, even with the manufacturer. Therefore, Motorola Nexus 6 and stayed for us “caviar overseas”, existing in the shadow of iPhone 6 Plus and Galaxy Note 4 in almost all markets.

In 2015 the Google decided not to repeat old mistakes and asked for LG (authored which reached sverhuspeshnyh Nexus 4 and Nexus 5) with the clear intention to return the Nexus brand reputation of smartphones who “has everything” + guaranteed upgrade to the latest Android. We have to find out, worthy of any attention to the reference smartphone Google at the time when the Chinese brands are unusually strong, and the market leaders have become more and more often to update the version of Android on older flagship.

Design and Management

Please remove the screens from the fans of HTC and Huawei, until they began to joke about effervescent appearance Nexus 5X. Because the protagonist of our test – a rare now the flagship of a plastic housing. Not metal, not glass, and plastic. This item is akin to an expensive car without leather interior, or an apartment without a carpet inside: the champions of traditional values ​​definitely be angry, even if not everyone will understand the essence of the claims. The modern giants smartfonostroeniya perhaps only Xiaomi still have the courage to produce powerful models in the case of polycarbonate.

The benefits of this solution are obvious: plastic – practical to use and very durable material. And he has a beneficial effect on the weight of the smartphone: Nexus 5X better than competitors such as the Sony Xperia Z5, Huawei Honor 7 and HTC One M9, however, remains “middling” in thickness.



Plastic housing flagship outraged many, but the Nexus 5X easier and more practical than its pathos competitors

Of the three options for colors black Nexus looks darkest and Budgetary embodiment of, so we recommend to pay attention to the” blondes “.

It is noteworthy that live our hero looks better than in the photo, “plump” rear camera into the acts of the body is much less than in the Huawei Honor 7 or Samsung Galaxy S6, and the smooth contours of the body do not look so as strange as the roundness of the flagship Sony after several years of angular design.

The letters «Nexus» and the LG logo are not true, “chrome”, but rather a silver “metallic”, as in the gel pen. If the inscription will be long-lasting – and why not, because there is a lack of this smartphone iridescent and shiny elements of the case.

However, on this pleasant design elements and end the trouble starts. The front panel of the smartphone for unknown reason, made in the bad old tradition of HTC: speakers located on either side of the display, the blue is added smartphone length. And this is not a guarantee of a steep stereo sound, as in the smartphone HTC, but only a set of earpiece and speakerphone, in general, as in all. Therefore, in comparison with the Nexus 5 and 6 inches of new incomplete looks excessively razevshimsya PHABLET and the grown 0.2 inches diagonal, and cleverly mounted in the lower speaker LED console weak. In the case of Nexus 5X from this arrangement only one plus – soft keys can not be pressed accidentally, as is often the case with the owners of Galaxy S6 edge. And yet – included with the smartphone comes only cable connectors USB-C on both sides, which means that almost all buyers will have to fork out for “national” cable USB-C – USB-A, which now costs a minimum of 500 rubles.

The keys on the right side of themselves are comfortable, but “mixed up” job – unwritten rule in the new smartphones swing volume is above the lock key. At Nexus 5X all the way around, so before you turn down the volume of a call, a user accidentally locks the display, foul-mouthed, and from the second factor is the swing volume. If it’s any consolation, we note that the “hip” volume control Xperia Z5 even less convenient to use.

 & # x42D; & # x43A; & # x440; & # x430; & # x43D; & # x44B; Nexus 5 & # x438; Nexus 5X & # x43E; & # x442; & # x43B; & # x438; & # x447; & # x430; & # x44E; & # x442; & # x441; & # x44F; & # x432; & # x441; & # x435; & # x433; & # x43E; & # x43D; & # x430; 0,2 & # x434; & # x44E; & # x439; & # x43C; & # x430 ;, & # x43D; & # x43E; & # x43F; & # x43E; & # x433; & # x430; & # x431; & # x430; & # x440; & # x438; & # x442; & # x430; & # x43C; & # x442; & # x430; & # x43A; & # x43E; & # x433; & # x43E; & # x43D; & # x435; & # x441; & # x43A; & # x430; & # x436; & # x435; & # x448; & # x44C;
5 and screens Nexus Nexus 5X differ by only 0.2 inches in size but this does not say

But a fingerprint scanner damn quick and lies right under the forefinger. After fingerprint registration can not even touch the keys unlock – Smartphone always ookazyvaetsya ready and includes a work desk in less than a second after the contact of the sensor with your finger.

However, in addition to unlocking the fingerprinting in the smartphone while it is not able to – to convenience of working with a sensor at the same level as Huawei Mate S Google Phone is still very far away. Perhaps, Google will mature before to launch in Russia Android Pay, and then we’ll pay for purchases in stores cell phone, but it will happen long time.



Display and Audio

LG is one of the largest manufacturers of televisions, monitors and displays all custom-made, so virtually even inexpensive models screens brand quality remains consistently high. And as for the “flagship for export” Koreans picked up a very successful matrix.

Yes, 5.2-inch smart phone has only a Full HD resolution, but, by golly, so well balanced against 1080p-matrix we We have nothing. The brightness level of about 460 cd / m2 (more than the Nexus 5), color gamut and 97% sRBG paltry (by the standards of smartphones) deviation DeltaE 1,9 – very steep indicators for non-professional equipment.

& # x426; & # x432; & # x435; & # x442; & # x43E ; & # x432; & # x43E; & # x439; & # x43E; & # x445; & # x432; & # x430; & # x442; & # x434; & # x438; & # x441; & # x43F; & # x43B; & # x435; & # x44F; LG Nexus 5X
Color Gamut display LG Nexus 5X

The viewing angles are maximum, oleophobic coating good fights pollution, and glass Gorilla Glass 3 does not pick up scratches during testing. After the Super AMOLED display and “raskochegarennyh” in the same vein IPS-matrix, many buyers will feel that the display Nexus 5X enough rich, but in reality we have simply accustomed to nazhoristym shades “expensive-rich”, after which a more accurate color reproduction will have to get used to again.

Resolution Full HD – the only drawback of the matrix LG Nexus 5X. The brightness, color and sharpness worthy of praise

Handsfree speaker in Nexus 5X us, to put it mildly, disappointed. I want to believe that the problem is only in the prototype test operation battered, and yet our copy guglofona sounded very poorly. In comparison with the Nexus 5 new smartphone plays a little quieter, but the problem is not the point. Even at a moderate level significantly as from the speaker came the messy indecipherable sound, and at the limit of the volume it begins more intensively rattle if the music track has stood zaboristy chorus.

Of course, the old Nexus 5, too, can not be called a dream audiophile, but only two years androidofona limit beyond which begin distortion appears much later. Most of the quality speakerphone Nexus 5X like a drowning and dried Huawei Honor 7 – metal “Chinese” also plays the sound careless, but the stock had an impressive volume. And Nexus 5X observed all the same problems, but without any “but».

 & # x41F; & # x43E; & # x432; & # x435; & # x440; & # x445; & # x434; & # x438; & # x43D; & # x430; & # x43C; & # x438; & # x43A; & # x430; & # x433; & # x440; & # x43E; & # x43C; & # x43A; & # x43E; & # x439; & # x441; & # x432; & # x44F; & # x437; & # x438; & # x432; LG Nexus 5X & # x440; & # x430; & # x437; & # x43C; & # x435; & # x449; & # x451; & # x43D; & # x441; & # x432; & # x435; & # x442; & # x43E; & # x434; & # x438; & # x43E; & # x434; & # x43F; & # x43E ; & # x434; & # x443; & # x432; & # x435; & # x434; & # x43E; & # x43C; & # x43B; & # x435; & # x43D; & # x438; & # x44F;
Speaker LG Nexus 5X sound quality does not shine

This is all the more strange, considering how steep the sound gives a handsfree speakerphone in LG G4. And it is unclear why it was allocated so miserable tweeters in Nexus 5X royal spaces of the front panel.



The headphones Nexus 5X good to hear, and the handsfree speaker afflicts poor quality

The earpiece in the Nexus 5X normal – to the extent of a clear and loud, though not strictly in the middle is placed a perforated mesh on the body. And the headphones sound very good, even in spite of the absence of any policy “uluchshayzerov” for the audio stream Snapdragon 810: volume, detail and volume of the Nexus 5X flagship without any discounts.



Hardware

After 810 Snapdragon disgraced in several flagship models, the manufacturers of premium smartphones without its own CPU production are divided into two categories. Sony showed optimism and placed in the new flagship Xperia Z5 thermal grease (to heighten the cooling), both in computers and laptops, but LG chose to be content with little, and since then installed in new items “clipped” six-core version of the chip under the symbol Snapdragon 808. Such system on a chip installed in the new Nexus 5X.

Производительность & # x432; & # x441; & # x435; & # x439; & # x441; & # x438; & # x441; & # x442; & # x435; & # x43C; & # x44B; (& # x442; & # x435; & # x441; & # x442; Antutu Benchmark)
Performance of the entire system (test Antutu Benchmark)

If accept the fact that this rejection of the flagship 810-th chip – use smartphones to a simplified version of a top Qualcomm obtained without any symptoms of underperformance: if LG G4 same chip often operate at high frequencies (branded coats were given iron gift) in the Nexus, which is between the “rocker” and “weight loss” has always adhered to a second embodiment, the same filling works with a good stepping stone for the future.

six-core processor – the character restless. It is not able to impose competition flagship chips, but with a large margin ahead of any model of the middle class

Now the power of the “poor relative” flagship processors approximately equal relevance to the Chinese smartphone chip MediaTek MT6795T or Kirin 930-935. That is, up to 810 Snapdragon running at full strength (sometimes there are such) or Exynos 7420 Galaxy family of our hero is not a priori “doprygnet,” but he is still powerful enough to not be considered middle-class processor. Let us not forget that the efforts of Google programmer our hero certainly is old, no later than the HTC One M9 or Sony Xperia Z3 +, and even the meager 2GB of “RAM” him not interfere.

But the ridiculous the volume of storage, of course, looks wicked joke producer. Especially looks ridiculous 16GB version with 11 gigabytes of free: recorded on a smart high-quality film in 720p – and there is no more space in it for anything. With storage volume of 32 GB (this is we had on the test), the problem manifests itself not as prevalent, but does not disappear completely.

The level of reception Wi-Fi and 4G does not cause the slightest criticism, and navigation is caught quickly and efficiently – in the rain smartphone “catch” for 17 of the 22 satellites visible (GPS and GLONASS) and follow the route with a radius in the range of error of 4 meters. Very good!

The body of the smartphone games is heated to 42 degrees Celsius in the games is only near the rear chamber and the top edge of the display, the rest of the area of ​​the body retains substantially room temperature.



Software

Google Android 6.0 innovations paid little attention even timed his run to the event, and all because the visual differences are typed on the strength of 5.2 on Tsiferki. However, after a couple of weeks notice that a heap of details still deserves a special “tasty” names in the list of operating systems Android.

Interface Android 6.0 in LG Nexus 5X

The first thing to catch the eye cosmetic improvements in the application menu: Now the list turned over from top to bottom (it will be interesting to see what will now be “collective farm» Xiaomi and other fans redraw Android in a special way), with the top line appears search applications, and a little below it is located quartet frequently triggered by software.

Android 6.0 there is not new, but in every way “improvements and additions» 5.0 Lollipop

Power saving mode can now be applied to individual arrogant and greedy program (in an equally nice bells and whistles otnesёm and requests for access to contacts, SMS, and online “on demand” and not at the first installation of the program). Active Display feature includes a couple of seconds to hours and display them immediately extinguishes after you gets a smartphone from his pocket.

Fans of optimization than anything now available menu with a detailed report on the use of RAM programs. For dessert – is not supported in our area payment purchases from your phone, search the Internet, who can guess the text on the screen that you want (does not work in Russia), as well as a respect for the battery in standby mode.

For the sake of protocol, we note that to our test came early prototype, which before booting the system bootloader swore to custom firmware. Firmware, apparently intended Android-developers – for their benefit in the ROM worked logger Volta and QXDM. In short, the software was not quite standard, but no software flaws and bugs during use, we could not be detected. Standard applications at a minimum – and then the owner of Nexus fitting to go to Google Play and equip the smartphone to your taste.



Camera

Even the camera in the new Nexus walks aligned with the concept of the device – yes, first glance it seems that the “megapixels does not fill up,” and 12-megapixel sensor does not expect anything extraordinary. But the importance is not the quantity but the quality: banal-looking camera operates pixel size of 1.55nm (large pixels can get rid of blurring in the picture), boasts an aperture of f / 2.0 (more light, less noise in the photo), laser autofocus (rapidly induced objects) and a powerful flash. alt=”Продолжительность
