Re: The LG Nexus 5X will NOT have Wireless Charging [RUMOR]

That's definitely disappointing but not a deal breaker for me, especially if it starts at $379.99 like Android Police is reporting. That price will offset the cost of a couple extra USB-C cables.

I would have pre-ordered the 5X if it had wireless charging, but I guess I will stick with my N5 until I need to replace it. I think wireless charging is great.

I couldn't agree more. No wireless charging and the few other "downgrades" kill it for me.

I think wireless charging is a waste. I can pick up a call when plugged with a cable, can I make a call when charged wirelessly?

This didn't kill it for me, I never use it on my S6.

I was planning on buying on three conditions, nfc, wireless charging and 64 gb internal minimum. I am all set up for WC and I love it.
I don't think I will ever own a nexus at this rate.

And here's why: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comme...hi_lockheimer_here_at_google_with_the/cvjjnp0

HL> Thanks for being a Nexus fan! We added Qi wireless charging starting with N4 because plugging in USB micro B was such a hassle! (Which way is up!?) With this year’s Nexii, we support USB Type-C which has a reversible connector so there’s no more guessing. AND it charges incredibly swiftly: 1% to 100% in 97 mins on the 6P for example (the first ~45 mins of charging is especially fast). Meanwhile, wireless charging adds z (thickness). So, ease of plugging in + fast charging + optimizing for thinness made us double down on Type-C instead of wireless!
