Google ’s next contemporaries of Nexus , the hardware it practice as the premium deterrent example of how big just plain old Android can be , is now out in the smartphone wild — but it enters that world filled with some stiff contest .
In many path , the LG Nexus 5X and Huawei Nexus 6P feels like a return to saneness . This is n’t some monolithic 6 - in smartphone nor does even the more expensive 6P cost tight to its predecessor , the Nexus 6 . In comparability , Google ’s kind of ripping a page out of the Samsung playbook by put up the bigger 5.7 - column inch 6P and the smaller ( comparatively ) 5.2 - column inch 5X , much like the Galaxy Note 5 and S6 sizes .
But look at the specs side - by - side , it appears that Google ’s not so interested with competing on hardware — or even engaging in a pricing war with other Android telephone . It feels build to entice with software package and other services that other phone Maker can hope to rival , like the promise of tiptop quick Android update and , of course , Project Fi .
Here a dislocation of the 5X and 6P eyeglasses , compared to its staunchest competition .
5X vs. The Rest
Click top left corner to flesh out !
The 5X is by all mean value a unearthly replacement to the Nexus 5 , arguably Google ’s most democratic smartphone ever made . It ’s made by LG Electronics , which also made the Nexus 5 , and it ’s the budget - witting champion of the two . But this is n’t 2013 , and the 5X price is n’t the lowest out there . That distinction belongs to the OnePlus 2 ( for flagship , at least ) . The 5X also seems to make spec sacrifice in two specific areas to attain that dispirited cost — the battery and price , which is some of the low mAh and PPI out there . But it is still punk , even low than the Moto X Pure Edition , which was also surprisingly inexpensive .
6P vs. The Rest
As for the 6P , its clearly think to entice those who do n’t heed spend money for the very good . It has top spec all across the board : the honorable Snapdragon CPU , a quad HD display , all alloy , no stupid 16 GB starting option , and USB - Type C. Basically , all the good stuff and at only $ 130 more that the 16 GB bag model 5X. That seems like a comparatively smart investment considering the temperate specification bump .
The only genuine bummer with these two smartphones is no expansible computer memory ( a feature now demote to the past it seems ) , opthalmic image stabilisation , or wireless charging , though USB - Type coulomb fast bill probably surpass wireless charging at least where f number is concerned .
But the 5X and the 6P rescue what many people have been wanting from Nexus machine — choice . Go small . Go bounteous . Go cheap . Go pricey . Google does n’t really deal , as long as you go Android .
