Google Nexus 5X Review

quality for price

Posted: Apr 28, 2018, 12:09 AM

Phone owned for more than a year

the phone isn't the prettiest or the fastest, but considering the price and overall trend of LG nexus devices, providing an almost flagship phone at budget price, the nexus 5x does everything well to a certain standard.

I'm quite satisfied with its performance, specially camera is awesome, build quality is fine, yes speakers are weak other than that I'll highly recommend this phone who need quality phone in budget price.

Nexus 5X - endless reboots makes the phone unusable after 12 months

Posted: Apr 28, 2017, 8:12 AM

Phone owned for more than a year

LG refuses to swap out phone with manufacturer's defect related to the motherboard.

After endless boots, the phone just died.

I would request Google to recall all the devices that have this faulty MBoard other users like me will never trust Android again
