LG Nexus 5X – the most underrated smartphone of the year – Onet.pl

Industry wanted as soon as possible to verify whether Huawei as a new member of the Nexus clique up to the task and a bit forgotten about 5X. But what is worse, in many places it began with a comparison of both this year’s Nexus, and this is a big mistake. For they are two completely different smartphones and gulf divides them, both in terms of general assumptions (screen 5.2 “vs. 6″), and when it comes to the financial aspect (about 600 zł price difference in our market). It’s like comparing chocolate ice cream with strawberry – some will attack the former and will despise others, and the rest will do quite the opposite.

LG Nexus 5X – a smartphone for exceptional people who do not want to radiate its uniqueness

Trend on the smartphone market, even among Chinese B-brands are glass and aluminum. Cool it looks pleasing to the eye, the brain gets a nice kick when he is convinced that stick in your pocket luxury product, and later heart falls on the attack when the phone slips out of your pocket while lacing shoes, and is then decorated with “spider veins” in the case of glass housing (Stories), or a tasteful indentation in the case of an aluminum finish (another story of real-life). Within a week on his FB wall I saw at least two friends grieving over the smashed “Es six of them.” Of course it is not so that you do not see the point in an elegant smartphones. It is a place for them, and not all will be broken immediately after the purchase, but at the moment the higher price segment it is of good quality material, not exclusive “alu” and glass are something special. That is why I also understand people who are looking for such solutions, because when it comes to the practical aspect, finishing such as the Nexus 5X may be a better choice.

I admit, front 5X is as thrilling as a sermon in church, but the back of the camera looks interesting shielded originally and tastefully. The quality of fit elements is high, and even the same material, in this case plastics, make a good impression. Back is matte and appears to be slightly rubberized. In general, a very positive effect on the grip of the smartphone. The only thing that is incomprehensible to me, is a stroke back cover facing slightly beyond the outline of the front. By this the sides are not entirely consistent, and little wrapper extends fractions of millimeters. This unfortunately feel 5X holding in your hand.

If I had to point out to whom most closely matches the LG Nexus 5X, probably darowałby myself a businesswoman and celebrities, and headed toward the skatepark and a man with a skateboard in his hand. Nexus style that fits me more for raw urban space than the salons. 5X is tasteful but modest … But most importantly, there is only modest in appearance.

Wszystkomający, if not for one small detail …

LG Nexus 5X was well-equipped. We have a 5.2-inch, bright and very well calibrated Full HD screen,

Snapdragon 808 Six-system, 2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of internal memory, support for LTE, NFC, a very well-functioning fingerprint reader located at the back for better comfort , a brilliant 12-megapixel main camera allows video recording in 4K quality, and for that 5-megapixel camera on the front. Of course, as in Nexusach, there is also the latest version of Android and guarantee rapid upgrade to the next views the system (sample pictures and rigorous testing process can be found in our colleagues from PCLab.pl). What, then, you are missing? Traditionally, as with all Nexus, we find there card slot micro-SD card. Thus, the version with 16 GB of memory is 32 GB and even a lot of people can quickly clog – just a few applications, some music from Spotify offline, photos and videos in 4K quality to quickly painfully feel the lack more space for data. Google may change its policy in the near future and adapt it to the current reality.

The victim premiere and the initial price

5X LG Nexus is a smartphone that is more a tool – and it very useful – than a trinket. For some it will be a disadvantage, others recognize the sober appearance and practical finish an advantage. Hailed by some journalists “the most boring smartphone of the year”, I was enchanted by his straightforwardness. Simply put, the others apparently prefer strawberry ice cream and do not understand that someone can order chocolate. And yet everything depends on individual preferences and needs. You have too admit that the initial starting price could actually kill the enthusiasm of many people. Now, however, things are quite different. The online stores LG Nexus 5X is available for about 2000 zł the only right 32-gigabyte version, and Allegro for 1700 zł. At such a price, it is a smartphone into consideration. The system works here very smoothly, the updates are guaranteed a fingerprint reader responds flawlessly, the screen is great, battery life quietly enough on a day of heavy use, and the camera is extremely fast, even when taking photos in HDR mode (you can do one thing after another without any downtime – you have to wait later on the record, but the shutter button is available all the time).

LG Nexus 5X is a highly successful smartphone. He goes a little different way than the rest of the higher-end, but a healthy diversity that is hard to pass to defects. Especially in the face of numerous and very strong advantages.
