Seeking reassurances

[jackhannaford]

Hi all,

I pre-ordered the 5x on the day of launch (typed out their "super difficult" URL before the shop links even went live!) as I am desperate to move away from my LG G3 which seems to permanently crash, freeze, stutter and refuse to give me a keyboard half the time. Also the battery life drains itself seemingly endlessly and apps that shouldn't even be running are reported to crash in the background.

Anyway, I've seen some 5 X bashing going on around some of the techy sites and I just wanted someone to reassure me that surely I won't regret ditching this turd of a phone for the 5 X? I don't game heavily, download movies etc (or if I did I wouldnt mind clearing some space), I just want a smooth Android experience where apps (and sync with google) works properly and hassle-free.

Things like 1080p vs 4k actually appeal as I presume it will lead to better battery life. :'(

Surely that isn't going to be difficult for Google's own phone..?

Thank you in advance for putting my mind at ease,

Jack

You are a perfect candidate for the 5x. I am running a 2 year old Nexus 5, that had the screen replaced twice, and it absolutely flies on Marshmallow. It is not held back one bit by 2gb ram, non quadHD screen or older processor.

Now imagine this phone with a better cpu, gpu, camera, and ram and you can imagine what kind of experience you will have. This thing will be smooth as silk, take awesome pictures, and will blow your G3 out of the water in every area. You made the right decision and I can guarantee with 100% accuracy that you will love this phone, as will many others. NOTHING compares to stock Android.

In addition, LG + Nexus go together like Peanut Butter and Chocolate.

Thanks Xendroid! Lots of people say look at the S6 or the 6P but a) I want a hand-held phone not a phablet and b) price!

Looking forward to getting mine now - I am in the UK and estimated delivery is 26-28 Oct but I am hoping that it may be a bit faster than that..
