What do you NOT like about your Nexus 5X?

[aviseqdas]

For me the biggest deal killer was speaker phone volume. Absolutely horrible, cant hear anyone unless you are in a quiet place like library or church.
1.USB C cord provided why is it a C to C cable? Should have been a C to B cable.
2.No auto brightness the adaptive display does not work and is pretty annoying if you walk in and out of indoor and bright sunlit areas.
3.Why only 2700 MAH battery? When will companies learn anything less than 3000 is useless
4.No IR blaster no wireless charging and a C to C cable?
5.Headphone jack position is in the worst place.
6.No expandible storage
7.I like the HTC, Sony, Blu and Windows phones for the FM radio. I want to listen to a simple local radio broadcasts (no iheart radio) basically a plan for carriers to sell more data plans.

If the phone came with a bigger battery, louder speaker and a USB C to B cable I think the Nexus 5x would have been a great phone. But these fundamentals are too hard to ignore. I just returned by 5x today after using it for 10 days.

I actually prefer the headphone placement on the bottom. I put my phone in my pocket top down, so for me when I'm using wired headphones I don't have to rotate the phone so it's going in bottom first. Admittedly though, I use wired headphones far less than I used to.

Size. The footprint is just slightly too tall for my liking. The width and weight are perfect, though.

I don't like the speaker grilles - they collect dirt and dust too easily.

Buttons. They're OK, but not as tactile as the ones on the original N5.

Small list really.

Your can fix most of your issues with Nova Launcher and SwiftKey keyboard. And who cares about the Nexus logo on the back, seriously, my Nexus 5X is in a diztronic TPU case.

I don't have the best hearing and I miss many incoming calls. I have the control set to max but unless I am directly in front of the phone I miss calls

1. Lack of SD Card slot. This would have been a deal breaker, except I really wanted to try Fi. It still irritates the hell out of me.
2. No IR Blaster. Absurd.

I'm another who like the headphone jack on the bottom, I am used to iPhones which are always on the bottom, easier to pull the phone out of your pocket connected to headphones with the jack at the bottom.

Lack off sdcard, yes. But have loved to see Nexus 5x come in a 64 GB version.

Audio quality from speaker and headphone jack isn't very good. Sounds much better and louder with Viper4Android and Dolby atmos. Wireless charging and bigger batter would have been great but not that big of a deal with fast charging.

 

[sulla1965]

Mostly the camera. No stabilization at all on videos, lack of 60fps video. The still camera although good overall, oversaturated green grass and leaves makes for unrealistic scenery pics.Other than the camera, I actually prefer using it over my S7, but since camera is important to me, the nexus is my backup phone atm.

I wonder what we'll all be moaning about on the smaller of the new Nexii in a couple of months?

Oh, no, not all. It's rarely ever all. It's more often a hardcore of people who love to whine. Someone drops their Nexus, the screen breaks and they don't like Nexus. Nexus, Before I got my Nexus 5x I read reviews of the camera and it generally got excellent reviews but for one Nexus 5x owner his only complaint was the camera.

No, not "all" by any means.

Probably the battery size and lack of wireless charging.

 

[axllebeer]

Well, micro SD card support would be nice. Don't think it will ever happen though. But still, would be nice.

Battery life, Incoming call audio weak I miss half my calls

 

[SactoKingsFan]

5x can have good battery life with a few kernel tweaks. I can get 6-8 hrs SOT depending on data use, signal and screen brightness.

 

[anon(9410778)]

Screen size is my largest complaint. I'd prefer a smaller phone. I'm a very large man with large hands but don't want a phone I can feel in my pocket.

Weak speaker and audio output via headphone jack is also weak.

My biggest complaint is 32gb being the largest storage option.

But I love it because it hits most of the things on my list.

This is possibly the best thread for me, I'm currently really interested in purchasing one for school work. i love the look of it a lot but nice to see what people dislike about it so i can make an informed decision in November this year

 

[SactoKingsFan]

Enjoying the 5x even more with dual front speakers, Viper4Android + Dolby Atmos, disabled FPS vibration, double tap to sleep and dark substratum theme.

 

[cunninsa]

Battery. And for some reason sometimes my phone doesn't vibrate or anything when I receive calls and I miss them. A reboot solves it temporarily before it happens again.
