The Complete Worthy Package!!
By Shashank Chavanon
Hi friends,
My info should help you decide making the right choice.!
?Cons:
No in built FM
12(Actually 12.28) GB is all you to get to play around with your files and Data.
No micro SD slot(Non-expandable storage)
Loudspeaker is on the quiet side
Non user-replaceable battery
Comparatively less battery life
Low Light Camera is 7.5/10
?Pros:
10/10 Most affordable phone with fastest Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset till the date.
10/10 "Ok Google" that is Google Now is much smarter now!!
10/10 First to get Google Android updates
10/10 Extremely fair Pricing
10/10 Excellent Display
10/10 Classy Design
8.5/10 Good call quality
9/10 Catches WIFI Signal even at relatively long distances
8/10 Battery Backup lasts for a around ~2 days
8.5/10 Music Quality
10/10 Hassle free stream of 1080p HD Movies
10/10 No lags on HD Games
9/10 Voice dialing works without internet/data and understands neutral Indian Accents flawlessly
9/10 Camera with optical image stabilization also Photo Spehere (360 degrees photo-shot) and 180 degrees Panorama shot very decent
8.5/10 USB host support, USB on-the-go support this time (Third party apps can give full support)
So overall this is really Beast phone that if you want to purchase the Best phone in this budget then this is the only choice I think!
You don't need a film star to promote this phone.
People who use it will recommend this to their friends and family.!
Read this - otherwise you will regret that you don't have such a spectacular phone
By Hitesh Kumaron
let me first get rid of those who gives one or two star.....I know,initially phone comes with some glitches.Yes that is also unacceptable from Google But all those issue are now rectified in progressive updates i'm in Lollipop v 5.0.2 and feels great having such an astounding phone.Till today none of other phone get the taste of Lollipop yet recall lollipop was released on 12 Nov 2014...
Any phone is dead if it does not get update with time...think twice any phone get better than Nexus 5 in term of Updates
pros....(Some of you might haven't noticed this..till you have not this in your hand)
1. phone comes with 4.95 inch display with 445ppi which almost cover 71% of phone you are thinking whats new in this..
### 1. narrow bezels means screen is almost edge to edge
### 2. ips display are much brighter than super Amoled but lacks accurate color reproduction....Nexus has IPS+ display even better than super Amoled in some points
### 3. due to narrow Bezels height of this device is comparable to other 4.5 inch products available in the market eg. Canvas A1 and Nexus has same height 132mm
2. Google phone means Direct update with no modification #fact 4.3 JB,4.4.4 KitKat and Lollipop all are baked on nexus 5
3. Supports all bands yes all because single product is launched Globally this makes it unsusceptible to tropical location
4. One MOST IMP. thing is Nexus 5 is devloper phone means......... even after the official support period you can get faster unofficial updates from after market rom makers like cyanogenMod,AOKP,Omni,Paranoid etc.
5. At that time and price only one phone come with OIS+.This comes very handy when you are shooting videos
6. LTE under 30k ...... now u can get LTE at ONLY Rs6999 BUT WAIT wait every components has its class here class refers to quality for Eg. Iphone 6 has only 8mp camera (ipad onle 3.2mp) but beat the hell out of other 16mp(nearly double) and (*** components in this case is type of lenses used)
7. Performance is unquestionable.....i never ever feels my phone slow,sluggish or whatever
8. LI-POLY better than LI-ION stand last in term of shelf life as every advantage has disadvantage too li-poly batteries does not has charge density as high as li-ion result in poor battery backup
may be these points are enough to convince an intellectual person
cons (nothing is perfect)
if you play around half of your time then go with 32 gb model,purchase power bank for extra juice and if your an audiophile then go with other doubly stereo speaker phones
THATS ALL
Nexus 5 -- Beauty with Beast -- the best phone I have had so far
Disclaimer -- this review is not for those who always goes with paper specs and are hungry for performance.....this phone is more than sufficient for satisfying needs of daily task encounter
don't forget to click on helpful if you find..
Kudos

Killer Phone
By Pankaj Panigrahion
I didn't buy this on fipkart as it was not available then , i am writing this review after using the phone for 10 days. I have also got the kitkat update 4.4.2 .
pros :
a). The processor is a beast. it handles anything very smoothly , without a single lag.
b). the screen is awesome. you would love to watch movies & pictures in this phone. the 4.95 inch screen full hd screen with 445 ppi is the best you can have.
c). adreno 330 gpu does amazing work in handling all the graphics
d). 2gb ram
e) kitkat gives a wonderful android experience
f) camera is good , may not be the best in low lighting otherwise good, specially after the update . The HDR+ feature works very nicely.
g) if you love gaming , then you will love the phone .
h) reading news & magazines feels great in this phone due to the large screen with high resolution.
i) it is very light . back panel gives a nice grip.
cons
a) the major con is the battery. it has a battery of 2300 mah , which is normally good. but this phone has a 5inch screen with full HD, so the sreen drains a lot of battery. nexus 4 had 2100 mah battery. Nexus 5 should have a maor jump in battery. LG G2 has a 3000 mah battery which has the same processor & a 5.2 inch screen. Something like that would have been better. But it still manages to give backup for nearly a day.
b) auto brightness of the phone works too well. it gives you more brightness than required , eventually draining your battery
c) the speaker sound is very clear but a bit low. could have been better.
d) auto rotation feature of screen sometimes doesn't work that well, it is very rare though.
TIPS for saving battery
1) switch off wifi scanning(this is a feature to scan for wifi even if the the wifi is off)
2) don't use auto brightness , use manual instead
3) switch to 3G/2G if you are not using LTE network
4) turn on locations(GPS) only when required.
I would suggest to buy this phone as it is a great deal at this price. I would give it a 5 star only if they would have given a more powerful batter
Killer Phone at this price

Simply Put - THIS IS AWESOME
By ANISH paion
We all spend a hell a lot of money over mobile phones expecting value for money and our expectations &......Nexus 5 nails this aspect!!!
POSITIVES:
1)Simply the best phone in this price range,no other phone even comes remotely close.
2)All features included in Nexus 5 are on par or better than the Premium phones available but Nexus 5 will cost you hell a lot lessss and am talking big money (10k less)
3)Kitkat 4.4.2:Only available for nexus phones,which means you are atleast 3 months ahead of all other phone manufacturers in terms of software.
4)Nexus being a flagship phone of Google means it will be the FIRST one to get direct/timely updates from Google as and when it releases any.
5)The Snapdragon 800,Adreno 330 and 2GB Ram all together form a bunch of specifications which are currently the best in the world in handling your phone's Performance,Graphics and Speed.
6)Most of us want a phone which has no lag no matter whatever we throw at it and Nexus 5 is THAT phone.No hangups,No lags!
7)FEATHER-WEIGHT
8)What I absolutely love about this phone is the endearing GOOGLE NOW,this voice command unit delivers BANG ON results and makes this phone so much fun to be around with.
NEGATIVES:
1)Not for people who want high-tech cameras.I would suggest those people to go and buy high end phones like NOTE 3 or LUMIA 1020 and end up spending 15k more for it.
Having said that it has a pretty decent camera (after 4.4.2 update) and makes no difference to a normal user and its pretty cool with a lot of tools to play around with your pics.
2)Battery should have been better considering it is a high end phone but vast improvement over nexus 4 and hangs on till the end of the day so not that big an issue
TIPS TO SAVE BATTERY:
1)Turn off location updates or switch it to battery saving mode.
2)Turn off NFC when not using it.
3)Default brightness is a bit too bright,reducing it will save much of your battery juice.
4)Turn off wifi when not in use.
5)Running phone in ART environment.
Doing all these things will increase your battery by atleast 2-4 hours which then suddenly becomes not that bad at all.
The phone is well worth your money probably more than that,It is highly recommended for a smartphone lover!
Priced too high
By Maxon
Device is good overall , but Google has priced it significantly higher in India than the US, which is disappointing...
Good phone

Good phone at the price but the phone gets heated if used for a long time specially when playing games.
Nexus 5x vs Nexus 6P: Guide to choose right mobile
By Adityaon
I bought Nexus 5x from eBay as it was selling cheaper during diwali offer.This review is for those who are confused to choose between Nexus 5x and 6P.
Earlier i have used Nexus 5/ Moto X Play/ One Plus Two. But When i started using the Nexus 5x i am completely surprised. The experience is so much amazing that i have decided never to use a non-nexus device in future.
1. Camera: If you are a camera lover, (especially low light photography)please buy this phone. This is by far the best camera(both in low light and day light) experience i have. It is better than OP2 and Moto xPlay's 21MP camera.NEXUS 5x and 6P has same camera performance.
2. Fingerprint Scanner(FS): The best/perfect FS out in the market right now. It takes only 6 touch to configure and works every time. So it is better than OP2 which is good but not as fast as Nexus 5x. NEXUS 5x and 6PP has similar FS experience.
3. Light weight: I do lots of surfing and watch videos. Both OP2 and Moto X play are good mobiles but they are too heavy(with silicon back case applied). After 10 minutes i feel like holding bricks in my hand. But with Nexus 5x i am so happy as it is very lightweight. 5/5 again. NEXUS 6P is much heavier than 5x.
4. Smaller size: Again after using bigger mobiles like OP2 and Moto X Play when i touched Nexus 5x, it was very pleasant experience. 5.2 inch screen is perfect for me. Neither too big not too small for watching videos and surfing. Nexus 6P is again much bigger.
5. Android M and future updates: I am a kind of person who cannot wait for future android updates.With Nexus 5x now i don't have to worry about future updates. Considering the track of Nexus 5(released in 2013 and received updates till 2015), Nexus 5x will receive all android updates till 2017. It means i can use it till late 2018 with updated software all the time.But such a promise cannot be expected from companies like Motorola and One Plus. So NOW I AM TENSION FREE FOR 3 YEARS AS FAR AS UPDATES ARE CONCERNED. NEXUS 5x and 6P both will get same set of updates.
6. Earphone provided with the mobile is very very good. Many times better than what Motorola provides. NEXUS 5x and 6P have similar earphones.
7 Gaming performance: Though i am not a serious gamer but i decided to test its gaming performance. I played games like Asphalt, San Andreas, Mortal Combat. GAMING PERFORMANCE is really good on NEXUS 5x. BUT NEXUS 6P IS MUCH BETTER FOR GAMING. SO GAMERS CHOSE NEXUS 6P.
8. Battery: Now this is a tricky comparison. Nexus 5x has 2700mah which takes around 90 minutes to completely charge itself with usb type c adaptor. for heavy use it lasts 12 hours on average. But my Moto x play which has 3630 mah battery does not have fast charger and with the charger provided it takes around 3 hours to completely charge the mobile and on heavy usage it lasts for 24 hours only. So considering the time it takes to charge the mobile i think Nexus 5x beats Moto x play and OP2(it takes around 150mins to completely charge itself). So unless and untill you do lots of travelling without power banks Nexus 5x battery will not disappoint you. AGAIN NEXUS 6P HAS MUCH BETTER BATTERY. SO IF BATTERY IS YOUR FIRST priority BUY NEXUS 6P.
Some features of Nexus 5x which did not impress me:
1. Single sim: i usually prefer double sim mobiles Except Nexus 5, all the mobiles i use are double sim. But i already have a good secondary mobile like redmi 2 prime at low cost to solve this issue.
2. Usb type c charger: I had to purchase a type c to micro usb adaptor separately.
3. Storage: I would love to have micro sd card slot on Nexus 5x. But as 32 GB model has 25GB free space. So it is not bad. BUT NEXUS 6P HAS 64GB MODEL TOO. IF YOU ARE BUYING NEXUS 5X PLEASE NEVER BUY 16GB MODEL.
4. Plastic back cover: Many people might get disappointed by non-metal finish. SO NEXUS 6P IS THE REAL PREMIUM NEXUS OF 2015.
5. 2GB RAM: In my daily experience i did not feel any lag with 2 GB RAM provided. But considering other manufacturer offer atleast 3GB RAM in 30K price range i think it is a con. 2GB RAM OF NEXUS 5X IS NOT GOOD FOR MULTITASKING. WE GET ONLY 600-700MB FREE OUT OF 2GB.
NEXUS 6P HAS 3GB RAM.
6. battery: it drains like water. heavy users will not like it. NEXUS 6P IS MUCH BETTER IN TERMS OF BATTERY.
Who should choose Nexus 5x:
1. If you like small screen and light weight mobile.
2. Medium and light users of mobile.
3. Casual gamers.
4. Have power banks or can recharge mobile anytime during the day.
5. Non-geeks.
6. Cannot afford NEXUS 6P.
7. Those who do not do MULTITASKING .
8. WANT TO UPGRADE FROM NEXUS 5 OF 2013.
Who should buy NEXUS 6P:
1. Heavy/power users
2. If you do lots of MULTITASKING.
3. Like phablets and comfortable with heavy weight
4. Better battery requirement.
5. Geeks who want best processor in the market and can afford it.
6. Need more storage like 64GB.
Mother board dead within 10 months of purchase
By Flipkart Customeron
Mother board issue within 10 months.. complete data loss. Be careful guys keep a back up of your important data.
Not recommended at all
By Flipkart Customeron
Don't buy this suicide phone. It will stop working one fine day with bootloop issuse, and if we go to customer care they will blame water damage. In countries like US they are refunding full amount. Hopefully someone will sue LG in India as well.
Good phone..
By Mayankon
Look is good..Very Good Stock android experience..
Bad quality phone
By VSN MURTHYon
WORST PRODUCT EVER!!!!! Used it for 8 months. Now, Battery is dead, phone isn't getting switched on, neither is it getting charged. Camera quality is the worst, not as given in the features. Charger is faulty. worked for 2 months after buying. I suggest not to buy this!
Works great
By Msanjooon
Works great! Now to find a non-slippery back case.. or else, I am scared I might crack the screen by dropping it.
I am Lovin It
By Vickyon
The Performance of the device is excellent. Finger print Scanner is the Best Part. It has Heating Issues as well as Battery problems but the Performance of the phone compensates for everything else. I bought 16GB, that is a real pain in the neck, do choose a higher memory.
Master Piece
By Vishalnadar212on
Its just perfect. what more do you need. Specs, Looks, Weight are just apt. Only con is memory. Applications take a lot of memory and 10GB is never enough.
Totally disapointing phone
By JoEon
I beg u.Dont go for nexus 5x.
Simply go for nexus 6p.
Lg servicing is the uttermost flop..
Please dont buy it.

By Vyshnavjron

4. Plastic back cover: Many people might get disappointed by non-metal finish. SO NEXUS 6P IS THE REAL PREMIUM NEXUS OF 2015.
5. 2GB RAM: In my daily experience i did not feel any lag with 2 GB RAM provided. But considering other manufacturer offer atleast 3GB RAM in 30K price range i think it is a con. 2GB RAM OF NEXUS 5X IS NOT GOOD FOR MULTITASKING. WE GET ONLY 600-700MB FREE OUT OF 2GB.
NEXUS 6P HAS 3GB RAM.
6. battery: it drains like water. heavy users will not like it. NEXUS 6P IS MUCH BETTER IN TERMS OF BATTERY.
Who should choose Nexus 5x:
1. If you like small screen and light weight mobile.
2. Medium and light users of mobile.
3. Casual gamers.
4. Have power banks or can recharge mobile anytime during the day.
5. Non-geeks.
6. Cannot afford NEXUS 6P.
7. Those who do not do MULTITASKING .
8. WANT TO UPGRADE FROM NEXUS 5 OF 2013.
Who should buy NEXUS 6P:
1. Heavy/power users
2. If you do lots of MULTITASKING.
3. Like phablets and comfortable with heavy weight
4. Better battery requirement.
5. Geeks who want best processor in the market and can afford it.
6. Need more storage like 64GB.
Powerful and Subtle
By Sid Patilon
I purchased the 5X from a local store as I had issues with flipkart previously.
so here's my experience.
I had been using a Galaxy S6 before 5x.
1) The phone is very light. Yet the build feels solid and does not feel cheap.
2) The looks are plain and generic but that is what I prefer.
3) The display is really good, sharp and not overly saturated. Really easy on the eyes. The brightness can be pushed to down to pleasant tones at night. It is also very bright and readable in the sunlight.
4) The camera is pretty good. Not better than the S6 camera but it is really close in terms of the quality.
5) No issues with the Snapdragon 808, it works very well. Does not heat up even on heavy use. I have not noticed any throttling or lags.
6) The battery life is great. I get around 4 hours SOT. I am yet to install a custom kernel and a rom to enhance the battery life. On stock it lasts me a day easily. Also, the Doze feature is amazing. I just lost 1% battery overnight.
7) The charging is really fast upto 60 % and then it slows a bit. Overall it takes 1.5 hrs to charge.
8) The cable you get is c type at both ends so you will need another a to c type cable for data transfer.
9) You will need a compatible adapter for attaching OTG pendrives.
10) The speaker is really good. The earpiece infact is better and crispier than the S6. The speaker is located at the bottom grill and is loud enough for media and gaming.
11) Fingerprint experience is beautiful, the location is so natural and easy. It is even faster than the one on S6.
12) There is a notification LED inside the speaker grill, you can customize the settings with an app to show whatever color you may want.
If you are a pure android maniac and want to be the first in line for updates and are a nexus fanboy or a developer then this is the device for you. Get the 32 GB version for more storage, on 16 gb ones you only get 10-11 GB. Overall its a 5 starer for me.
Amazing phone for almost all of you Nexus lovers out there
By Henryk Felix Korthouton
I'm a Nexus fanatic, I've been using Nexus phones for a really long time now, and have waited a lot for this phone to come out; and as you suspected, I'm elated that the hype was worth it after all.
This phone is the successor of the original Nexus 5, which ran popularly and recognizably for over 2 years. The difference between these two phones, the Nexus 5x and Nexus 5 is that one of them is economically ranged and of higher generation, while the other has had its turn to wow android lovers equivocally, and is now outdated.
Pros:
- 12.2MP Google Camera pre-loaded, with A(uto)HDR+ and HDR+ modes, panorama, lens blur, etc.;
- 1080p - 4K video recording range output from the video mode,
- Economically priced at 20,000 - 30,000 INR, 2,000 INR less than the 5, so that all Android fans can be happy, regardless of economic status;
- Balance between performance, quality material, and functionality;
- Slim, light body;
- Bio-metric scanner (fingerprint scanner) on the back face!!!
Cons:
- 2GB RAM, which is less than the average mainstream RAM storage in other smartphones
- Fairly flimsy, I accidentally dropped it on polished wood flooring from a height of 1/4th a meter, and its screen cracked a whole lot.
- Fast charging, as well as fast usage, meaning less battery life (9hrs)
- Irremovable battery which means you can't replace your battery if you've gradually ruined it by using it while charging
- Bio-metric scanner can only have two default pre-built functionalities, which are unlocking your phone, and authorizing Play Store payments
All-in-all, if you want a nexus phone that's up-to-date with the latest system of Marshmallow (yet to come Android N), economically priced, slim and lightweight, frequently usable, this is the phone for you.
HOWEVER; If you constantly drop your phone, don't want to ruin the phone's originality by buying a case &/or scratch guard, play high-end games, or keep your phone on a lot which consumes the battery quickly, this is not the kind of phone you would want to spend 20,000 - 30,000 INR on, and I further recommend the Nexus 6P which has the same, plus more features. Which is also slightly older than the 5x (not a problem), and costs a mere 10,000 INR more, hehe.
Never Update
By Ram Gopalanon
All well till Google rolled out 7.1.1 and then huge problems with battery & over heating. Just Google Nexus 5X heating up and see for yourself. Google points the finger at LG & LG points the finger at Google. You are stuck with a dead phone. Terrible experience. I bought this thinking I was buying Google. Looks like I was wrong
so my phone froze all of a sudden and woulndt ...
By MAYANK JOSHIon

Bootloops and a dead phone just out of warranty
By Vishwanathon
My nexus became dead with in a month of updating to nougat. Since it was under warranty I got repaired from LG. Motherboard was replaced. But within a few days it started throwing bootloops and ended up being dead. Now it's out of warranty and it will cost at least 10k to replace motherboard. Terrible experience with LG. They have the issue of bootloops and dead phones with several other models also. I would not recommend anyone buying 5X. Just skip this defective phone at all costs.
Hell with LG and Google!
By Sushanth Maratheon
I take back whatever image I had about Google and LG after the latest debacle. Exactly after 1 year (warranty) 3 days later the phone freezes and enters bootloop. LG service center says motherboard is gone and would cost 10.5k! Once you visit the Nexus forum you'll understand this after warranty has happened to lot of ppl and looks like a scam.Best phone one could buy for <25k. Ever since I got my Nexus 4, I'm addicted to the pace at which a phone can work in. The only problem Nexuses had was the camera and I'm really glad that they have resolved it. Apart from the price (23k should have been for the 32GB) this is a great buy. Definitely recommend it!
Phone is good but not the charger :)
By S. Anbuchelvanon
I bought this 5 months back. Am comfortable with its performance. Not hanging, good voice clarity, good speed, comfortable screen etc... I use it for my business and not for gaming.Two Major problems.1) Charger wire's got damaged in both the wire ends even with careful usage &2) Charger wire is too short.Will have to get a replacement or have to get a good wire.
Good phone..
By Mayankon
Look is good..Very Good Stock android experience..
Bad quality phone
By VSN MURTHYon
WORST PRODUCT EVER!!!!! Used it for 8 months. Now, Battery is dead, phone isn't getting switched on, neither is it getting charged. Camera quality is the worst, not as given in the features. Charger is faulty. worked for 2 months after buying. I suggest not to buy this!
Works great
By Msanjooon
Works great! Now to find a non-slippery back case.. or else, I am scared I might crack the screen by dropping it.
I am Lovin It
By Vickyon
The Performance of the device is excellent. Finger print Scanner is the Best Part. It has Heating Issues as well as Battery problems but the Performance of the phone compensates for everything else. I bought 16GB, that is a real pain in the neck, do choose a higher memory.
Master Piece
By Vishalnadar212on
Its just perfect. what more do you need. Specs, Looks, Weight are just apt. Only con is memory. Applications take a lot of memory and 10GB is never enough.
Priced too high
By Maxon
Device is good overall , but Google has priced it significantly higher in India than the US, which is disappointing...
Good phone
By Vikramon
Good phone at the price but the phone gets heated if used for a long time specially when playing games.
Nexus 5x vs Nexus 6P: Guide to choose right mobile
By Adityaon
I bought Nexus 5x from eBay as it was selling cheaper during diwali offer.This review is for those who are confused to choose between Nexus 5x and 6P.
Earlier i have used Nexus 5/ Moto X Play/ One Plus Two. But When i started using the Nexus 5x i am completely surprised. The experience is so much amazing that i have decided never to use a non-nexus device in future.
1. Camera: If you are a camera lover, (especially low light photography)please buy this phone. This is by far the best camera(both in low light and day light) experience i have. It is better than OP2 and Moto xPlay's 21MP camera.NEXUS 5x and 6P has same camera performance.
2. Fingerprint Scanner(FS): The best/perfect FS out in the market right now. It takes only 6 touch to configure and works every time. So it is better than OP2 which is good but not as fast as Nexus 5x. NEXUS 5x and 6PP has similar FS experience.
3. Light weight: I do lots of surfing and watch videos. Both OP2 and Moto X play are good mobiles but they are too heavy(with silicon back case applied). After 10 minutes i feel like holding bricks in my hand. But with Nexus 5x i am so happy as it is very lightweight. 5/5 again. NEXUS 6P is much heavier than 5x.
4. Smaller size: Again after using bigger mobiles like OP2 and Moto X Play when i touched Nexus 5x, it was very pleasant experience. 5.2 inch screen is perfect for me. Neither too big not too small for watching videos and surfing. Nexus 6P is again much bigger.
5. Android M and future updates: I am a kind of person who cannot wait for future android updates.With Nexus 5x now i don't have to worry about future updates. Considering the track of Nexus 5(released in 2013 and received updates till 2015), Nexus 5x will receive all android updates till 2017. It means i can use it till late 2018 with updated software all the time.But such a promise cannot be expected from companies like Motorola and One Plus. So NOW I AM TENSION FREE FOR 3 YEARS AS FAR AS UPDATES ARE CONCERNED. NEXUS 5x and 6P both will get same set of updates.
6. Earphone provided with the mobile is very very good. Many times better than what Motorola provides. NEXUS 5x and 6P have similar earphones.
7 Gaming performance: Though i am not a serious gamer but i decided to test its gaming performance. I played games like Asphalt, San Andreas, Mortal Combat. GAMING PERFORMANCE is really good on NEXUS 5x. BUT NEXUS 6P IS MUCH BETTER FOR GAMING. SO GAMERS CHOSE NEXUS 6P.
8. Battery: Now this is a tricky comparison. Nexus 5x has 2700mah which takes around 90 minutes to completely charge itself with usb type c adaptor. for heavy use it lasts 12 hours on average. But my Moto x play which has 3630 mah battery does not have fast charger and with the charger provided it takes around 3 hours to completely charge the mobile and on heavy usage it lasts for 24 hours only. So considering the time it takes to charge the mobile i think Nexus 5x beats Moto x play and OP2(it takes around 150mins to completely charge itself). So unless and untill you do lots of travelling without power banks Nexus 5x battery will not disappoint you. AGAIN NEXUS 6P HAS MUCH BETTER BATTERY. SO IF BATTERY IS YOUR FIRST priority BUY NEXUS 6P.
Some features of Nexus 5x which did not impress me:
1. Single sim: i usually prefer double sim mobiles Except Nexus 5, all the mobiles i use are double sim. But i already have a good secondary mobile like redmi 2 prime at low cost to solve this issue.
2. Usb type c charger: I had to purchase a type c to micro usb adaptor separately.
3. Storage: I would love to have micro sd card slot on Nexus 5x. But as 32 GB model has 25GB free space. So it is not bad. BUT NEXUS 6P HAS 64GB MODEL TOO. IF YOU ARE BUYING NEXUS 5X PLEASE NEVER BUY 16GB MODEL.
4. Plastic back cover: Many people might get disappointed by non-metal finish. SO NEXUS 6P IS THE REAL PREMIUM NEXUS OF 2015.
5. 2GB RAM: In my daily experience i did not feel any lag with 2 GB RAM provided. But considering other manufacturer offer atleast 3GB RAM in 30K price range i think it is a con. 2GB RAM OF NEXUS 5X IS NOT GOOD FOR MULTITASKING. WE GET ONLY 600-700MB FREE OUT OF 2GB.
NEXUS 6P HAS 3GB RAM.
6. battery: it drains like water. heavy users will not like it. NEXUS 6P IS MUCH BETTER IN TERMS OF BATTERY.
Who should choose Nexus 5x:
1. If you like small screen and light weight mobile.
2. Medium and light users of mobile.
3. Casual gamers.
4. Have power banks or can recharge mobile anytime during the day.
5. Non-geeks.
6. Cannot afford NEXUS 6P.
7. Those who do not do MULTITASKING .
8. WANT TO UPGRADE FROM NEXUS 5 OF 2013.
Who should buy NEXUS 6P:
1. Heavy/power users
2. If you do lots of MULTITASKING.
3. Like phablets and comfortable with heavy weight
4. Better battery requirement.
5. Geeks who want best processor in the market and can afford it.

Mother board dead within 10 months of purchase
By Flipkart Customeron
Mother board issue within 10 months.. complete data loss. Be careful guys keep a back up of your important data.
Not recommended at all
By Flipkart Customeron
Don't buy this suicide phone. It will stop working one fine day with bootloop issuse, and if we go to customer care they will blame water damage. In countries like US they are refunding full amount. Hopefully someone will sue LG in India as well.
