I won't boycott a device for solely that reason, but it is a detraction for me to include in. My NVIDIA Shield Tablet has the slot, don't use it, don't like it - wish it wasn't there. My next phone Moto Pure will have it, not going to use it, don't like it, etc. There is an opportunity cost that I don't appreciate to having it there. Of course, I get that many people love that feature and want it and that's cool. I'm just not one of them.
Seriously??? You make THIS one of your "make a stand" points? We're really reaching at this point to find a negative.
Look at the New Moto X pure edition. It starts at $399. Why Can't the LG Nexus 5 start at the same price?
OIS, laser focusing and fingerprint scanner. That's why.You know, for the same price tag Motorola was able to include a QHD display and a portion of the base build has "premium" materials (metal).
I'm not seeing why the Nexus 5X couldn't have kept its predecessor's price tags.
Oh, and Nextbit's Robin has eerily similar specs but at 32GB it's priced at $399.
The 5X should have $349 for 16GB and $399 for 32GB.
OIS, laser focusing and fingerprint scanner. That's why.
I don't see OIS, laser focus, and fingerprint scanner costing more than a QHD display. Sadly, I won't buy the N5 at $399. It should stay at $349. I would probably cave and buy it at $379 but I have to draw the line somewhere.
