Hey man, I feel your pain. I cancelled my order of the 5X after contemplating for a while. It has the specs of the HTC One M7 I had two years ago. It's just unacceptable. If you're someone who has music stored on your phone, has MANY pictures, this might not be the phone for you. If you stream your music, use google photos (online), then you probably be OK with 32GB. 16GB is just a no no.

Like I told someone else in another thread, make a nandroid backup, have a couple ROMS loaded into your phone, you'll already have your storage full on your 16GB phone lol...

I'm really just going to watch many videos and full reviews of the 5X when the time comes; if I hear great things about it I might consider. Like someone said, I agree with Nexus 5 (2013) phones working great and buttery smooth even til now, so why wouldn't the new one?
[Nexus 5X General] cabadam:
I'll take a look at the Z5, that wasn't on my radar. Thanks for the feedback. And yeah, a couple people at work here are telling me that it is just a matter of getting used to the larger phone, that once I do I won't care anymore. I'm skeptical lol...

Yeah, I've definitely heard how well the 2013 Nexus 5 kept up - and I guess that's what I was hoping for in the new phone, but it seems the specs are more oriented to "today", not "tomorrow". I think the processsor is fine, RAM I can live with, but that darn 32GB storage. Yikes.

This is the EXACT situation I find myself in on my Galaxy S4. Fortunately because of my SD card, that isn't an issue. Given that the Nexus doesn't offer that, it just seems like the 32GB will fill up very fast. I don't want to move to my new phone and then be fighting storage problems all over again in 6-12 months. Apps, etc are only getting larger and fancier as time goes on.
[Nexus 5X General] jadeddjay:
cant have everything at this price point
[Nexus 5X General] cabadam:
I'd be perfectly willing to pay for the $50 or whatever to step up from 32GB to 64GB, just like you would typically do. (Well, I still think $50 is overpriced for that, but I'd do it anyway!) But it isn't even an option on the 5X.
[Nexus 5X General] jadeddjay:
well i dont think its that simple. adding one more option adds to the cost of manufacturing and logistics etc which changes their bottom line and marketing tactic or whatever.
[Nexus 5X General] zander145:
I'm more let down by the ram than storage space... 2gb... really? I know my note 4 doesn't have that much more, but my previous phone had 2gb, and I was running low on memory at times.
[Nexus 5X General] waingro808:
5X is physically WAY bigger than the LG G2 and there is no wireless charging. 16GB storage with no microSD slot shouldn't exist. This thing is definitely a dud.
[Nexus 5X General] Ajfink:
I ordered the 32GB version and was annoyed to have to pay $50 extra for it. The 2GB of RAM is beat.
[Nexus 5X General] clninja:
Y'all can't keep comparing an older phone with older processors and operating systems to a newer phone

"I ran out of ram on my 3 year old phone with 2gb of ram blah blah whine whine cry cry"

My newer v6 jeep is faster and more efficient in every way than my old v8 jeep. Same concept. Newer design. Newer technology. Different device.

Between marshmallow, sensor hub, 808 processor, and other newer aspects of the phone. 2gb is fine.

My Nexus 6 running M Preview hasn't used more than 1.4gb ram. And the hardware in the n6 is inferior to the n5x

BEFORE CONTINUING TO CRY ABOUT THE 2GB OF RAM.. PLEASE WAIT TO SEE REAL WORLD RESULTS AND REVIEWS
[Nexus 5X General] cabadam:
I'm mostly worried about the max of 32GB storage, not the 2GB of RAM (the RAM is just... annoying).
[Nexus 5X General] clninja:
I've personally never ran out of space on a 32gb phone but I can definitely see this as an issue for some. For instance those who nandroid alot and those who store their music locally on their phone. An OTG would be a solution but a hassle to have to constantly plug in when you want to use it.

Personally I'd rather buy an OTG for those cases for super cheap than spend an extra $100 for a higher capacity phone
[Nexus 5X General] d3si:
I was so hoping that Google would put a device that was true to the original nexus roots..I felt so let down by the N6

The specs of the N5X are mediocre at best.

16GB mem?

No wireless charging..c'mon..

Don't get me wrong - you're getting a fair bit for the money but I feel they've let the ball drop in a couple of key areas. Had they included those this phone would have smashed all the others..

6P is just way overpriced - huawei trying to get in at the top end of the market. It wont work.
[Nexus 5X General] beats4x:
An S810, 3GB of RAM, a top of the line camera, fingerprint sensor, and a full metal design for $499, you think that's overpriced? I'd have to disagree, as most if not all phones boasting the same specs are at least $150 more.

Now onto the 5x, yeah, max 32gb rom is a let down, but at the same time, you can work with it. If it doesn't work for you then this isn't the phone for you (why I ordered the 6p). The more important letdown was the 2gb of ram (the bigger reason for me getting the 6p).

There are plenty of people who cannot and will not fill up a 32gb phone, I see it everyday. Just gotta get the device that's right for you ?
[Nexus 5X General] Jakeuten:
I feel my Nexus 5 is still as fast as the best of them today... which just shows how much technology has plateaued. The 1080p display still wows me compared to other 2K phones, and the processor is still fast to me. I don't think I'm willing to give my storm trooper up just yet... maybe the S7 or Nexus 5X2 will have the 820, 1080p, 4 GB of RAM and an awesome camera for 2016 standards.
[Nexus 5X General] Cirkustanz:
After having wireless charging for over 2 years, I've sworn to never buy a phone without it again.

It is a wireless phone!

The only time, and I mean the only time, I plug anything into my phone is when I'm flashing it.

Music? Bluetooth. (Or I use a FiiO)

Hands free? Bluetooth

Charging? The official nexus charger is on the side of my nightstand so I can see the phone if it goes off in the middle of the night, and the standard LG WCP-300 elsewhere.

Synchronizing data? Wifi. This happens automatically every night when I'm at home with the "syncme" app

I mean sheeet...I am quite aware the new usb-c is more rugged than micro-usb is, and less annoying since it plugs in every way...but once you charge your phone by just literally setting it down...you're so glad to never have to fish for that stupid cord again.

I even borrowed a router (the woodworking kind) and made a hole in my desk for the LG charger...it sits flush on my desk now and it's like it is never there.

Screw cords. It's 2015.

If a home cordless phone that I buy for $30 or even less can charge without fishing around for a stupid cable to plug in, than DAMMIT, my $400+ cell phone should be able to as well!
[Nexus 5X General] Bungalowx:
Why sit around and cry about the ram and storage? If it isn't for you, get something that is for you, end of story. 32GB of ram is much more than I'd need, I keep all my music downloaded on my tablet, and never play games or do any heavy duty tasks on my phone so the 5X would work just great for me. Everything is made to fit the needs of some people, not all people.
[Nexus 5X General] xtcfgtr:
To the guys that say 2GB RAM is not enough. Are you all talking about for heavy multitasking, gaming or general use? Genuinely curious about the need for >2GB RAM on a phone.
[Nexus 5X General] xda-amg:
Exactly, Now I have 3 GB ram on my OPO, normally, half of it is free!

BUT, we have to keep in mind that we need more ram in some cases.

For example, sometimes I open, and keep opening, too many webpages when I am searching and comparing things.

So I need more ram to prevent phone from slow down.

There are other games and apps that work better with more ram.

All that said, I think that everyone should see its usage and select the phone that fits.
[Nexus 5X General] xtcfgtr:
Ohh cool. I'm using a dinosaur right now and I see slow down when 2 tabs are open on Firefox so I could see more RAM being useful there.
[Nexus 5X General] pychobj2001:
So my apps that are open in the background don't redraw every time I go back to them in the recent menu...I'm A heavy multi tasker and have like 300 apps on my phone constantly switching apps...and dislike when I go back to Facebook and it reloads the whole app. With my lg g4 this still happens and it has 3gb, but it might just be a software thing....pure Android m and the 1080p resolution and zero bloatware and custom roms might be just fine with 2 gb.....I just wish it tmobile would sell it so I can break it up on my bill!
[Nexus 5X General] donutman:
Im shocked how many people care that much about wireless charging. I have been with Nexus since One and never used wireless charging even when it became an option. Maybe I dont know what I'm missing but never had a problem with wired charging. I also prefer Aux to bluetooth so its all just preference.

Im coming from the OPO so this was a no brainer for me. And being able to finance the phone through Project Fi w/ no interest, is icing on the cake. Can't wait
[Nexus 5X General] 0.0:
I am underwhelmed too, but not too much. I am buying this phone now since it's on the cheaper side and hoping that the next Nexus phone has the 820 or higher chip inside. That'll be a beast of a phone and I will buy!

I also don't like AMOLED screen after a bad experience of burn-in within the year from my Moto X 2014, so 6p is out (size is bad for me too). I hope future Nexus devices use LCD
[Nexus 5X General] hongcho:
For me, I haven't bought a Nexus because its spec. I don't think the spec has never been a strength in the Nexus family.

I have been buying Nexus because I prefer the pure Google Android interface (there is no "Android" phone as far as the UI is concerned. There are "Samsung" phone, "LG" phone, "Xiaomi" phone, etc.) and that it's a target for the latest Android updates.

Five inch is the largest screen (for a phone) that I can deal with. And the image support for N5 will end soon. So, I will likely get an N5X.
[Nexus 5X General] Bungalowx:
I did use wireless charging with my nexus 5 for a bit, the only issue is I never trusted it. I'd put my phone on the charger then check it a few times to make sure it's still charging. So it was more of a hassle then plugging in a cord
[Nexus 5X General] HankB:
Many users fall into two categories. Those who have never used it don't realize how convenient wireless charging can be. Many of us who use wireless charging regularly can't imagine buying a phone without it. Personal habits also factor into it.

In my case I made a stand that holds my charger and is on a small table next to my side of the bed. I normally go to bed after SWMBO so the room is dark. I set my phone on the dock, Dock Clock comes up and dims the screen to barely visible and turns off the notification LED. In the morning it is ready to go. I suppose I could get the same behavior using an NFC chip in a dock but I'd still be plugging in a cable in the dark.

I also have a nice Qi charger for my car. It's one of those that has the sticky surface and I just slap the phone on it. (Can't recall the name but there was a thread about it here.) One hand operation. My previous phone required a connector and if I wasn't careful pulling it out of the dock, it broke the dock.

Then what are the implications of leaving the fast charger plugged in over night. My understanding is that excessive time in the charger is not good for the battery so will excess time in a fast charger be worse?

2GB RAM is also a concern. As more phones come with 3 or 4 GB will the S/W come to expect that? S/W typically expands to use the resources available. Remember when 640K was a lot of RAM for Windows. ;) Android has actually gone in the opposite direction with effort to keep it viable for low resource devices for price sensitive markets, but the trend to use more resources is likely to return. Will 2GB be constraining two years from now?
[Nexus 5X General] Locklear308:
5x is completely worthless
[Nexus 5X General] Bungalowx:
I was gonna buy it til you said its worthless. I dodged a bullet.
[Nexus 5X General] Locklear308:
32GB max... Are you joking? I need AT least 64GB if not more for all my media. And...2GB of ram? Why...? 2015 should of been the age of 4GB, 2 just makes no sense. You never go backwards in NEW tech.

And don't even get me started on the 2700mah baby battery... Same problem as the Moto X pure, batteries just TOO small still! The Nexus 6p finally has at least a decent sized battery...but they rip you off on the 128GB pricing. ( 32gb to 64gb = $50, but 64GB to 128GB is $100!!! wtf)

BUT...the 6P has a Pentile amoled...not full RGB. So no thank you.
[Nexus 5X General] Bungalowx:
Well if it doesn't fit your needs then it won't fit anyone else's !
[Nexus 5X General] SlyUK:
[MENTION=4480077]Locklear308[/MENTION] For the storage you could always invest in;

http://www.airstash.com/

http://www.meenova.com/st/p/mrg2.html

I hope for they make a Nexus 5P for the 3rd generation Nexus 5. I have until January to decide. Maybe Xiaomi will release kernel sources fully for their new Xiaomi Mi 4c.
[Nexus 5X General] jadeddjay:
2gb is fine for the iPhone 6s so OBVIOUSLY its enough ram lol

Enough with all the complaining! Not good enough for you, dont buy it. Done.
[Nexus 5X General] ylexot:
That's called "math" ;)

64-32 = 32

128-64 = 64

So yes, a jump from 32GB to 64GB (32GB more storage) costs $50 while a jump from 64GB to 128GB (64GB more storage) costs $100.
[Nexus 5X General] Panzerapple:
Here is my situation and I would welcome some feedback. My N6 is sitting at 2.2 of ram with hardly anything running in my recents. With that said I am running a ton of Xposed modules and KLWP. Should I cancel my order. Not concerned about the 808 it worked fine on my G4. I think I might be in trouble with ram on the 5x.
[Nexus 5X General] dondavis007:
More or less a G4 with a better camera, less memory, screen and no sd. Faster and smoother I belive :)

Skickat från min LG-H815 via Tapatalk
[Nexus 5X General] Locklear308:
Not so much that as it is about logic. Why lower the ram to 2GB on a "New cutting Edge device", Why use a 2700mah when we've seen other devices not make it that far with bigger batteries.

Idk, it just bothers me that this is a "New, cutting edge, latest and greatest" device, and the max storage is 32GB and it...has 2013 ram.
[Nexus 5X General] Bungalowx:
To lower cost, duh.
[Nexus 5X General] Locklear308:
But 3GB is already "old" now, and if the phone was cheaper before....

Seriously, 64GB and 3GB of ram would MAYBE increase the cost of the phone $5.
[Nexus 5X General] Bungalowx:
Well idk about you but I wouldn't buy it if it was $5 more
[Nexus 5X General] Locklear308:
That's called a rip off. We all know flash storage costs pennies to make. Even more so a ripoff especially with no microSD ( Yes I know google hates SD) but still. People that need more storage are forced to be ripped off. (If you want the Nexus line). I've never seen a phone charge that way, it's generally more money to "double the storage".

Seriously, this is such an apple thing. The phone should of just BEEN 128GB. Forget the 32 and 64, and it wouldn't even change the production costs. Motorola has turned around and stopped ripping off people by offering a microSD BUT also the 64GB model. So if you wanna give them money you can, or you can use a microSD. You get the choice.

Math or no math this rubbish needs to stop
[Nexus 5X General] lombardo8:
If you are a current N5 user, it is completely worthless. It cant be said to be an upgrade.

Absolutely no improvement.... Infact worse spec

Bigger than N5

Massive unsightly bezels

Worse ppi

No OIS

No wireless charging

Same 2GB RAM

Same 1080P screen

In fact I cant think of any area this is better than the N5.

I am extremely disappointed and since I hate big phones, the only phone that fits my needs is the S6/S6E. I was going to pull the trigger on one today but the screen burn in on the store display units are a big concern for me.

If the battery on my N5 wasn't so rubbish after almost 2 years, I'd just carry on using it
[Nexus 5X General] Locklear308:
Only thing is the Type C and stereo speakers vs the N5's garbage speaker.
[Nexus 5X General] AirOne70:
Stereo speakers? Haha, not at all.. Single speaker for the 5X!

[Nexus 5X General] 0.0:
People are complaining so much about the 5x. Like someone said, iPhone has 2GB of RAM and why does it fly? Optimization of software. If M really is optimized, 2GB is enough. People get so caught up with hardware specs, completely forgetting that hardware is not the only thing that makes up a phone. It sucks that 5x skimps on stuff, but that keeps it on the cheaper side. Also, LG needs profit too. Besides, Snapdragon 820 Nexus next year :p
[Nexus 5X General] clninja:
enough with the crying over 2gb ram already.

If you don't like the phone get the f**k out and go find a different phone.. We get it your disappointed. Stfu
[Nexus 5X General] Bungalowx:
I think the biggest concern is how many people want a phone for childish games and taking ugly photos of themselves. Is anyone concerned about how well it makes a phone call?
[Nexus 5X General] hussan882:
Google are obviously trying to encourage people to buy the 6P - its a shame if they had taken a similar approach as Sony, they could have had a 5P and a 6P, similar key specs, with screen size being the main difference.

A 64GB 5P with 3GBs of RAM would have been perfect :D
[Nexus 5X General] peachpuff:
Im gonna say the camera, its a huge sensor, even bigger than the one in the s6.

N5 had ois? Who knew...
[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
Such disappointment. Much crying. Very whiny.

Seriously, why make a thread just to ***** about this phone? It's obvious that you and the rest of the world are upset about this phone. So instead, why not just leave this forum? Leave this place for the people who actually do like this phone.
[Nexus 5X General] donutman:
wow you guys are a major buzzkill! i was so close to cancelling my order after reading all these complaints on just about everything. but then i realized im not going to let a bunch of people who dont even own the phone, ruin this for me. if anybody is going to ruin this for me, it will be by personal experience.

not a true upgrade from the nexus 5, lol are you sh*tting me?
[Nexus 5X General] jdawg0024:
Well Said. I love my original N5 and ordered the 32GB N5X the moment it was available. Once I get it will Sell the N5
[Nexus 5X General] 0.0:
+1. It all comes down to personal preference. It isn't about purely hardware specs, but experience too. I am predicting this phone will get the next major update before all other phones on the market. I hope my prediction is true ;)
[Nexus 5X General] clninja:
Purely based off of hardware and specs you can guarantee this phone will have

Better battery life

Better camera

Faster processor

Faster charging

Than the Nexus 5 and Nexus 6

And that's not even mentioning the addition of fingerprint reader, separate sensor hub, etc

Not an upgrade ? Get real. Get off your high horses and quit ur crying
[Nexus 5X General] 0.0:
I wish the 2gb of RAM was LPDDR4, but it's whatever since that would require an 810 chip. I still bought the phone
[Nexus 5X General] lombardo8:
There is nothing wrong with the N5X. It is not a bad phone.

My main problem with it is that it isn't a worthy upgrade for N5 users like myself. Maybe phone development has peaked. I started using smartphones back in '06 and everytime I upgraded after about 18 months, there was always a wow factor.

After almost 2 years with the N5, the N5X is just a massive disappointment for me. I would have even bought it if they just kept it the same size as the N5 or maybe a likkle bit smaller. Why dafuq did they have to make it so damn big?! :(
[Nexus 5X General] 0.0:
I agree about screen size. Having had a 5.2 inch screen phone before, it can't beat having a 5 inch one since my hands are smaller. I also agree that the wow factor isn't as prominent anymore. I think tech has come to a halt, since it's moving rapidly. When new battery tech arrives though, I will definitely be wanting that phone
[Nexus 5X General] bklm1234:
A little disappointed at the less than 6p specs but I'll live. I preordered the 5x on the 29th. I really wish its smaller with less bezel. N6 has such thin bezel which is just awesome. Why make us carry extra useless girth like the iPhone
[Nexus 5X General] btort1:
Software is everything, my Note 4 was much more sluggish than a 2 year old htc one m8 LOL or even a m7

note 4 was extremely laggy
[Nexus 5X General] 0.0:
Because girth is very important :p

I keed. I also wish the bezels were smaller. Still a good all-around phone
[Nexus 5X General] Meleagru:
The Nexus phones have always ran like absolute champs. This generation will be ideal for normal consumers, because they will add many quality of life features we have been bending over backwards to add ourselves, like Ambient Display, Smart Wake, quick access to the camera, always on voice listening etc. And add many hardware features like quick charging, a better camera, a fingerprint sensor, better battery life. It's going to be a good phone with a great experience.
[Nexus 5X General] HankB:
And it's on the approved list for Project Fi.

One thing puzzles me. 4 days after release I still cannot order one off the Play store. Clicking "Checkout" gets me a perpetual rotating circle. This is from a company with one of the top ten largest web presences in the world, if not the top.
[Nexus 5X General] PaoloMix09:
I guess, but I don't wanna afford having a bad experience, so I'll let you all do the testing and posting on the device, and I'll think about getting it later. :)
[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
As a N5 user, the new phone has a better everything. People really, REALLY don't wanna believe that because it doesn't live up to their own delusions of specs, but let's be real here... Google ain't gonna use hardware from way back in 2013 and cram it into a new device's body. What they probably did was use newer hardware in the same family of the internals used before, which makes the performance more than adequate and worth the update. And that fingerprint sensor... Mmmmm
[Nexus 5X General] Mercennarius:
The original Nexus 5 offered high end phone specs and performance in a quality package at a decent price. The new Nexus 5X offers mid range phone specs, unknown quality, and a decent price. Unfortunately the reality is the only high end Nexus phone being released is the 6P, and many of us don't want a phablet. If the Nexus 5X had the same processor/ram as the 6P it would have been a good replacement for the N5, but that isn't the case.
[Nexus 5X General] IwantricexD:
I think this will be a good phone. Yes, it has 2GB of RAM. Yes, it tops out at 32GB of storage. Yes, it has bigger bezels. But I think the overall user experience will be good. I am optimistic about the camera and I believe the thing will fly. I loved my old Nexus 5 and I'm sure this will be just as good. My Moto X Pure is super fast and it has a lot more pixels to push so I doubt this will be any worse. Sadly the battery on the Pure is ass, and it's a bit too big for me, so I will be returning it and picking up the 5X.
[Nexus 5X General] drago10029:
probably should've read the title of the thread..... it should all make sense now.
[Nexus 5X General] MrBelter:
Apart from Storage and RAM.
[Nexus 5X General] gregb882:
Are you using IE11 by chance? It's probably some security setting I've set but I had the exact same issue until I tried using Chrome (or I'm assuming any other browser). Once I did, it immediately went through. Give it a try.
