![]() On the back there's more new stuff to discover - namely the Nexus Imprint fingerprint scanner. The bottom of the device is home to the 3.5mm headphone socket and USB Type-C port - the latter one of the biggest changes to the Nexus line. The right-hand side is home to the volume and power buttons, while on the opposite edge you'll find the nano SIM tray. As is the case with other Nexus devices, the front of the phone is relatively featureless, save for a pair of speaker grilles (the upper one is the earpiece while the lower one houses a disappointingly feeble mono speaker) and a front-facing camera. The all-plastic case design certainly draws parallels with LG's previous offering the front is black while the back is available in three colours - black, light green and white (although LG and Google have predictably silly alternate names for all three shades). Other Features: Android 6.0, 2700 mAh battery, NFC, Nano SIM, Nexus Imprint fingerprint scanner, USB Type-C port.Connectivity: WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth v4.2.Camera: Rear-facing 12.3-megapixel with 4K30 video recording, front-facing five-megapixel camera.Storage: 16GB internal (32GB also available).Screen: 5.2-inch LCD capacitive touchscreen, 1920x1080, 424ppi.Processor: Quad-core 1.44GHz Cortex-A53 & dual-core 1.82GHz Cortex-A57.Chipset: Qualcomm MSM8992 Snapdragon 808.Elsewhere though, the phone impresses with its Nexus Imprint fingerprint scanner - surely one of the best on the market - and the inclusion of USB Type-C for charging and data transfer. ![]() The 2GB of RAM is also disappointing, and results in some serious performance issues when there's a lot happening at once. Nexus 5X specsīased around Qualcomm's Snapdragon 808 chipset, the Nexus 5X isn't the cutting-edge proposition that many fans will crave. If you're a current Nexus 5 owner - and there are plenty of those about - then after two years of ownership you'll no doubt be eyeing up the 5X as a possible replacement. The original Nexus 5 made headlines because it offered decent hardware at a price eminently more affordable than the flagships it was up against. Produced by LG and marketed as a successor to 2013's popular Nexus 5, this handset is perhaps the ultimate mixture of amazing software and middling hardware a balancing act the handset pulls off thanks to its mid-range price-point and the fact that pure Android is, as any fan will tell you, worth making some sacrifices for. While the Huawei-made Nexus 6P offers more powerful internals and premium build quality, it's also larger and more expensive, and is likely to be ignored in favour of its smaller and wallet-friendly sibling, the Nexus 5X. The story has arguably never been more true this year. ![]() In Nintendo's case, the mantra is based around the unshakable belief that high-quality games will encourage people to rush out to stores and purchase consoles, while with Google's Nexus line of smart devices, it's the software that ships with the handset that proves so appealing, and is surely the main reason why Android purists continue to flock to the brand - despite the fact that it usually lags behind the best phones when it comes to pure specs. It might seem odd to begin a review of a smartphone with a saying popularised by Nintendo, but - present company taken into account - we're sure you won't mind.
