Is the corner-cutting this time around too much for you?

[RogueXgirl]

Ahhh I cant decide between this 5x and Galaxy s6 at roughly the same price. the 5x has tax, but also warranty, and $50 google play credit. The s6 is slightly cheaper but no warranty....

No wireless charging is a deal breaker for me, I absolutely need it.

I will likely buy it, but may wait on some actual reviews. I like having the latest tech when I can justify/afford it, but I'm not a "power user" by any means. I don't play games on my phone, and I don't need 6gb of RAM and enough storage for 15 HD movies and 5000 songs. I think the 5X will fit the bill for me: it has some neat features that I'll actually use (fingerprint scanner, front facing stereo speakers), it's affordable, and it will stay up to date for the next two years, software-wise.

You can forget the duel front speakers, its only a single. ><

Hordes abandon the overnight line outside the flagship Nexus store.

Staff shut off the lights and Google looks for new tenants as the last prospective buyer walks away in disgust.

Actually it's just as easy in a car as it is near a normal charging port. Sorry, just not seeing how wireless charging can be a deal breaker for anyone unless you're looking for a reason and nitpicking to the highest extent. I have a 40 minute commute each way and I can easily plug in my phone if need be and at my desk, I have a USB cable plugged into my PC that sits above my head. Both of which are really easy to use. Sorry, man.

• 2GB RAM - In late 2015... 1GB = low-end, 2GB = midrange, 3GB to 4GB = High-end
• No OIS - Nexus 5 & 6 had it
• No Wireless Charging - Nexus 4, 5 & 6 had it. Two of those phones were from LG!
• Gorilla Glass 3 instead of 4 - Why only give it to the 6P? How much would this have really added on?

Ram doesn't bother me. It does not need 3GB of ram honestly. The ram wars are becoming ridiculous. Good multitasking code and pipelining in the CPU will handle mostly everything. Hell even 6 to 8 cores is more than enough.The ram is a slower lpddr3 compared to 4 in the 6P but with a 32bit bus on the processor this shouldn't be noticed

Wireless charging upsets me, I love it.

GG also upsets me but a tempered glass screen protector fixes this.

What bothers me the most are: No stereo speakers, screen to body ratio(almost the same size as my G4), No notification light(might have active display Idk but 6p has notification light)

All this to save only $70, I don't see it. ( comparing 32GB models) If the phone was 299 I would have 0 complaints but at 380 there are other choices including a G4 which can be had for under 400 new many places. Software is meh but CM is coming along well for it.

Well ****, I was just about to ask about this.

My main thing with the speakers, well speaker I guess, is that's it's on the front. Don't really care as much of it's stereo or mono. My current phone has the speaker on the back which is a dumb place for it and makes hearing it difficult the (rare) times that I have to use it.

It's easier sticking your phone into your Qi enabled car dock and driving away.

I'm American, by the way, but if/when I travel overseas, I'm buying a Canadian sticker for all my luggage.

It really ruins my day when I accidentally put the plug in upside down!

No doubt - the main thing is simply hearing it well enough. You really cant get all audiophile about a phone.

Well, that does make sense, but they will inevitably make an easy charging dock that you can slide this into just as well?

Sadly I'll be passing on the 5x. I use Qi charging on my current nexus 5 daily at home and the office. While my N5 does pretty good with 2GB a little extra would be better which would help when I have multiple apps running in the background like steaming audio, navigation, etc.
