What do you NOT like about your Nexus 5X?

I don't think she would either. I have one and

1. I'm trying to justify whether it's worth the extra money for a 6P for her.
2. I really don't want her phone to look just like mine so she doesn't start futzing with mine.

She has dropped the 6 countless times so durability is an issue, as is size but they they are both smaller than the 6. We use Project Fi so it had to be one of the two.

The 5x is extremely durable. Mine has been around the world with me, from hiking places like Alta peak in California to travelling around Asia. All with just a screen protector. I love the materials they use because I hate cases so it works great for me if small scuffs on the plastic don't ruin the look of the phone.

If she really doesn't want to lose the size and you are worried about you two having the same phone, make sure you order her a different colour 6p haha.

If you are most focused on price then I'd suggest waiting another month and a half for the new Google phones to come out then get the 6p at a discount (or even better get yourself one of the new ones and give your wife the 6p)!

There is nothing I dislike about my Nexus 5x but I read extensively before I bought it so I knew what I was getting. Of course, there are things on my wish list such as waterproof down to six feet and a battery that could be swapped out while riding on a bus. But, I knew neither of those was an option so I'm not disappointed.

I've had my 5X since the 20th and here are some of my gripes. My comparison of the N5X is to my older N5 which I have sold and to my current phones, Galaxy S6E and Note 4.

1. It isn't as easy as before to one-hand the phone due to its increased width and tallness, coming from the Nexus 5. However, I'll adjust to it.

2. The camera launches slow and so is the shutter speed, compared to the N4 and S6E. I'm sure future updates will make these better, just like updates drastically improved the old Nexus 5's camera.

3. The speaker isn't very loud but still serviceable.

4. For the first few days, unplugging the Type C cable was scary and annoying due to its tightness and stubbornness. It has been getting better daily.

As you can tell, these are all minor gripes. I like the N5X better than the old N5 and I'm glad I upgraded to it.

It's been almost a year now since I've had my N5X and here are the things I don't and still don't like about it.

1. Slow camera. Both the launch speed and shutter speed. It has gotten a little faster but still too slow for me.

2. Still don't like its subpar speaker quality & volume.

3. Snapdragon 808. It was never a premium or fast SOC and it feels even slower now.

4. Battery life. I can only get around 3 to 3.5 hrs of SOT.

Numbers 3 & 4 became a more tangible issue to me after I replaced my GS6E with the GS7E.
