Hello everyone
I'm in the market for a new phone right now and was strongly considering the 6p but I'm put off slightly by the size of the device. That led me to consider the 5x
However, on paper (and from the limited info we have given the 5x's nascent state), the S6 looks like it's a much better deal than the 5x
-Display: QHD and from what I've heard better colours
-Performance: faster chip, +1gb ram and DDR4 vs DDR3 - awaiting benchmarks and speedtest comparisons for real-world measures
-Build quality: better construction, shorter, less wide and thinner. Also the s6 comes in gold <3
-Camera: 16mp f/1.9 vs 12.3mp f/2.0 + OIS - also awaiting real life comparisons
The 5x however has:
-"stock android experience" which MAY make it perform better
-quicker updates
-bigger battery - difficult to decipher - I've heard mixed things about both the s6 and the 5x so far in real life tests
The key thing is that (at least in the UK) you can buy the 32gb versions of the s6 for just £30 more:
5x - £350 - carphone waerhouse
s6 - £380 - amazon
Have Google priced themselves out with the 5x? What do you guys think about which phone offers the better experience and better value?
