Nexus, quite possibly, one to appear in museums of industrial design – merely as examples of standard “guglofonov.” But right now it is a common example of simplicity and practicality: the beauty and loved by the people “premium materials” such as metal or glass Nexus 5X does not stand out.

The front panel is covered with Gorilla Glass 3, sides, and rear surface plastered with plastic. Note, of course, involve the two rings on the rear panel: a convex lens of the camera and fingerprint sensor. But there is an option to somehow revive the picture, if you still important to stand out: in addition to the black and white colors available Mint.

Dimensions Nexus 5X – 147 × 72,6 × 7,9 mm, weight – 136 grams . There were no records – both positive and negative, but it is more important than individual sensations: the smartphone comfortable shape and not too large. Although it is felt that the 5.2-inch screen on the verge between the size and ease of operation – not all the girls will be able to use the device with one hand.

The keys on the body are only two: turn on and adjust the volume, both good progress and are easily recognized by touch. Initially confused by their location: the power button is located above the “rocker” – as in smart phones Sony. In fact, to get used to it, needed a full five minutes. Navigation keys – program, implemented in the interface of Android.

In addition to the fingerprint sensor, Nexus 5X stands out among similar and even a connector for power and computer connection – this is not the usual microUSB, and a new USB-C. Moreover, there is no complete access to the cable c USB-A, and only the USB-C↔USB-C. It is progressive, but means that with a smartphone you will almost certainly have to buy an adapter.

The assembly is very good: no squeaks, no backlash and does not threaten to fall off. The other, however, from the device, claiming to be the standard, and do not wait.



⇡ # user interface

Android 6.0 Marshmallow in pure form – that is, in fact, all you need to know about the user interface Google Nexus 5X. This is the first, along with the Nexus 6P, a smartphone that is running the final version of the operating system without any shells and additional applications. Only branded services Google, and updated and intended for permanent connection to the network. Work offline with a smartphone is also possible, but sometimes uncomfortable – for example, there is no normal picture and a simple video player, all have to look through «Google Photos.” Play Market, but also has not been canceled.

Interface Android 6.0, compared with the fifth version has not changed much in appearance, but there were some important pieces. The first is, of course, software support fingerprint sensor – no additional application is required. It works scanner on Nexus 5X excellent – recognizes prints very quickly and accurately, even once during the test was not wrong.

Other features of Android 6.0: Technology Doze, which saves energy by getting rid of unnecessary background applications, built-in file manager (is, as we wrote in the settings), supporting Android Pay, customization Access for each application, simplified clipboard operations.

There should also be a broader integration of Google Now, but in practice, the main innovation, Now on Tap, in Russia are not working. The smartphone is able to isolate the key information from all posts and pages that you view, only to sozhalkniyu, not in Russian. In itself, the voice control works perfectly: the recognition level, some basic things like a calendar, you can put the voice.
