Nexus 5x and 6p
- Thread starter amRam
- Start date
What don't you like? Screen or cpu/ram?
i have a nexus 6, i dont see a reason to upgrade to a 6p
810 processor which seems to have overheating/throttling issues?
no wireless charging
no image stabilization
only 5.7" screen but huge bezels - probably a similar size overall?
usb-c is a good thing but kind of sucks to be an early adopter since no one else has it
the nexus 6 is barely a year old, did they just release one to include a fingerprint scanner to support android pay and for use in other apps which they demoed?

everything its a step behind gs6 and g4 for sure. theres no real reason to buy the 5x at all in my mind.
someones post on reddit about the 5x:
Considering a 16GB device was not an option for me, so I'm comparing both 32GB versions here.
For only 70$ more, the 6P gives you:
3GB RAM instead of 2
A better CPU (810 instead of 808)
A higher resolution screen (1440p instead of 1080p)
A bigger battery (3450mah instead of 2770)
Gorilla glas 4 instead of GG3
A better front camera
Better RAM (lpddr4 instead of lpddr3)
A better gpu (Adreno 430 instead of Adreno 418)
Two front speakers instead of one
A notification led
240fps slow motion instead of 120fps
noise cancellation (Does not show up for n5x, even though I doubt it doesn't have it).
Some other points which can be good or bad depending on personal preference:
Amoled instead of lcd
Metal body instead of plastic
A bigger screen (5.7" instead of 5.2")
The only possible downside I've found when comparing these phones:
Depending on if the descriptions in the google store are correct, the 6P might support fewer LTE bands
Originally I was thrown off because of the 6P's size, but considering I get that much more for only 70$ I'll try it out.

At that price I am considering it. I have a Nexus 4 still and am overdue.

I ordered a 5x 32gb because I broke my Nexus 5. If I hadn't broken the glass I wouldn't be upgrading.
After reading def's post I am wondering if I should switch to the 6P and cancel the 5x. I don't do anything on my phone but email, text, call, and play music (Pandora or whatever).

I also still have my N4, pretty much going to get the 5x. 6 is too big.
