Nexus 5X is one of the two latest Nexus smartphones unveiled by Google during its recently held press event in San Francisco. This LG-manufactured Nexus 5X comes with a full HD display and 5.2-inch screen.
The LG Nexus 5X weighs 136 grams and is available in white, light blue, and black colors. It maintains the smooth, eggshell finish to its plastic back; however, that is where the resemblances with the original Nexus 5 end. Nexus 5X also opts for soft, rounded edges and flat rear panel. Moreover, it is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chipset, features 2700 mAh battery, and has 3GB of RAM.
There is a pair of stereo speakers on the front of this Nexus smartphone. The sim card drawer is positioned on the left edge, the headphone jack is at the bottom part that is offset to the right part of the USB Type-C charging port, and the power buttons and volume rocker are on the right side.
Furthermore, its 12.3-megapixel rear camera has a little protruding housing. To the side of it sits LG's laser autofocus unit and a dual-LED flash. A circular fingerprint scanner is located below, which is projected to be of use for the Android Pay.
However, LG Nexus 5X reportedly lacks a USB Type-C to USB Type-A connector. This means that the user won't be able to connect the device to a laptop, unless the user has a Google Chromebook Pixel 2 or an Apple MacBook, since these devices have USB Type-C ports.
According to Tech Times, a Google representative said that the cable or connector will indeed be included in the box of LG Nexus 5X. He even stated that the specifications list was probably a mistake on Google's part. Whether this holds true or otherwise, one should see the box with his own eyes first.
On the whole, the LG Nexus 5X is a great catch. Android users and spectators will definitely be delighted once they get a hold of this innovative smartphone from the search engine giant.
