LG is not a novice in the production of smart phones under the brand name Nexus, model 5X – this is the third case of cooperation with Google. But unlike 2013, when LG has released the only smartphone in the line of Nexus, this year her offspring Nexus 5X in the role of the second plan, because the tone should ask flagship Huawei Nexus 6P. Let’s see, do not lose any model from LG on the background of the older version.
The models in the line: 6
Price Range: 11,199 – 15,060 USD
Design and Materials
Nexus 5X leaves an impression smartphone that is molded from two different models. The back part of the body has a simple but pleasant design, with rounded edges, smooth projection cameras and marked metal ring fingerprint scanner.
In this case, rear cover can be of three colors: black, white and mint. The latter seems the most interesting.
In contrast to all this stands the front panel, which contrasts strongly with the back part. It is made in black, regardless of the cover, and generally does not stand out.
Similarly, the front side look dozens of smart phones from unknown Chinese brands. The Nexus 5 designers also did not claim great originality, but there’s at least interesting was implemented earpiece, and in general the smartphone looked holistically. The Nexus 5X this is not so with the back of the smart phone easily recognizable, but from the front it is easy to confuse with other models.
The main body material in the Nexus 5X – rugged plastic that covered the sides and back of the body. At the same time, the entire front panel is covered with a protective glass Gorilla Glass 3 with good oleophobic coating. Plastic smartphone does not hold together, and does not collect fingerprints. Assembling at Nexus 5X excellent, and what you expect from non-collapsible body.
Display
The Nexus 5X traditional for LG’s set to display a matrix IPS, and resolution as compared with the Nexus 5 not increased, it is 1920×1080 pixels.
But she diagonal slightly increased, it now reaches 5.2 inches. The screen quality is very good, which is also confirmed by measurements that show more than 100% coverage of the color space sRGB, the color temperature of 6500K, gamma at 2.3, color without obvious distortion and uniform illumination.
Sharpen Images for Screen Nexus 5X is excellent, even with the flagship not permit. Diagonal of 5.2 inches with Full HD pixel density show 423 dpi, which is more than enough for a clear display even smaller elements.
Platform and Performance
At the heart of Nexus 5X is not a top but nevertheless productive platform. It consists of a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 808 with four core Cortex-A53 frequency of 1.44 GHz and two Cortex A57 frequency of 1.82 GHz, Adreno 418 graphics, 2GB of RAM and 16/32 GB of internal memory with no expansion options.
According to the test AnTuTu, for Nexus 5X speed quite a bit slower than the Galaxy Note 4, which is a good result. And the smoothness of the interface due to optimizations in Android 6.0, it is altogether comparable with the flagship of this year.
Thus, the performance problems at the Nexus 5X, the smartphone good at demanding applications and games. Fear can cause except that no hurt performance, still 2 GB of RAM can now be found even in budget decisions. Nevertheless, each year Google optimizes the operating system Android, so you can expect that a couple of years Nexus 5X will cope with their tasks.
Camera
12.3 Summary megapixel camera in the Nexus 5X is one of the main “chip” smart phone, because it is the same as in the flagship Nexus 6P.
This photo module has aperture f / 2.0 and pixel size 1.55 μm, in other words, a matrix camera, thanks to the larger pixels to capture more light. Together with increased diaphragm allows it to achieve the best image quality in low light. Other features of the camera is to provide a laser autofocus and dual flash with 90 color rendering index (CRI-90).
In theory all this looks impressive, but in practice? Looking ahead immediately write that Nexus 5X photographs really well, but in low light, even impressive.

As you can see, when a sufficient amount of light the camera shows good detail and color reproduction. But even the almost total darkness, she manages to do though and noisy, but surprisingly detailed pictures. In fact, the camera has a Nexus 5X only one small flaw – a run rate, it could be more. And there does not help a quick start by double clicking the camera power button, the software simply does not work that fast. It is possible that in the near future it will be possible to correct the usual updating software.
Interface
Nexus 5X works under the operating system Android 6.0 without any add-ons interface. As befits Nexus – here everything is clean by Google, and it’s really like. Compared with the previous version of the OS in 6.0 Marshmallow not so much innovation, and most of them lies in the internal optimization, so that they do not see and do. However, this update is really worth, so for more detailed information on Android 6.0 look at our video review:
Fingerprint Reader
On the back of the Nexus 5X is fingerprint fingers. This is not quite the usual location, given that Apple and Samsung normally set it to the mechanical button under the display. At first glance it may seem that the location of the scanner is not very logical and convenient, but in practice, when you take Nexus 5X index fingers right and left hand just get it.
Thus, from the pocket of a smartphone, you can already get an unlocked screen. The only minor inconvenience when the device is on the table, without lifting his fingerprint to unlock the use will not work.
Works fingerprint sensor is very fast, it is always active, so it is enough just to touch it to unlock.
Endurance
Built in Nexus 5X battery has a capacity of 2700 mAh, which is enough for one day of active use. It is approximately 3.5 hours of use of the display. During the battery test Geekbench 3 with a brightness of 50% with the included screen smartphone worked for 5 hours and 35 minutes. Thus, Nexus 5X provides typical for its class level of autonomy, charge it will have each day, but during the day can be a charge not to worry.
charge the device through the connector USB Type-C, and from complete charging it takes 1.5 hours. Using this connector there is a typical standard for new problem when in case of need can not be simply borrow, for example, in an office corresponding cable. It is very rare and should be considered.
As a result,
Have the LG got a worthy continuation of the line Nexus, model Nexus 5X user will find a nice display, performance, excellent camera, fingerprint scanner pure Android 6.0 and is traditionally simple materials and design. But what in the Nexus 5X is not found, so it’s a really good price. Today, a smartphone on the Ukrainian market offered not much cheaper champions, who can offer the user all the same features plus the finest materials and design. We love the series Nexus for good value for money, but unfortunately in the last few years, she increasingly goes to upper price segment where looks are not so attractive.
