I just have to say after reading that the guys/gals at AC were beating down the 5x and saying not to buy it makes me think they have lost their ever loving minds. I don't know if it's because they get the best of the best phones and they always feel you should get the best specs and what not, but I work for a living and cannot afford the latest and greatest phones. My experience with my 5x has been great so far. This phone is the first phone that I have had that the battery has got me thru an entire day. I LOVE THE SIZE. I have small hands and this phone is my sweet spot, not too small like my Moto X Developer edition and not too big like the Note 4 I sold within 5 months because I absolutely hated how big it was. I know that the Nexus 6 and 6p would not be the right size for me. THE PRICE, of course I had to get the 32g size because I ROOT ROM and have a lot of apps so 16gig would not cut it for me. THE FINGER sensor is the best feature in my opinion. I love the placement and the fact that it brings you right into the phone from screen off. I hated my Note 4 being on the front, and you had to turn the phone on first. LG really got this right on Nexus Imprint. Now the criticism; the Ram, the Screen, and the Speakers? Really the screen being an LCD, I have never been able to tell a difference, probably the first difference I ever noticed on an Android phone was going from an Original Motorola Droid to a Samsung Fascinate. Samsung has great screens and you can tell the quality, but honestly the Nexus 5x LCD is perfectly fine for me. As far as going out side and using it I don't really that much so this is not even an issue for me. The Ram, seriously running stock Android with no touchwiz or factory skin, DO you really need all of that extra RAM not doing anything? I have had over 20 apps opened and not one of them closed and I still had 700mb of Ram free. As far as the speakers, if you want a BOSS sound system go by a speaker or a good bluetooth speaker with good quality. I don't use the mic to talk on my phone, I use a LG bluetooth headset, so there again not an issue for me. The Dev Community is probably the BEST perk for having this Nexus 5x. There is already a group of devs working on custom romz so I a sure within 6 months you would be able to run and mod/rom anything out there. True the Nexus 6p will get the same attention, but with a starting price of 379 versus 499 which will people go for that don't have a lot of money to blow. My last point is that this Nexus phone can run on all US carriers. What phone can do this with the price and size of the 5x? The HTC A9, will it doesn't have a CDMA radio so when you get in 3g coverage good bye cell service. I just have to say that I have not been this happy with a phone in a long time, and I have bought and been thru several android phones ever since Android was Android, and none were given to me. I had to pay for every single one with blood, sweat, and hard work. I hope there are some that feel the same way that I do, so that I know that I am not crazy
