Phone heats up more than you would think since it's the 808 CPU. It's not super hot, but after like five minutes of hard use, it gets warm. Then it slows down as the CPU underclocks.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] bblzd:
Remains cooler than the N5 in all scenarios and heat is dissipated more evenly through the device.

The lower internal and skin temperatures come at the expensive of decreased performance due to thermal throttling.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Raistlin1:
I notice mine gets a little hot under normal non game playing use, seen it get to 100F.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] CubeCloudOS:
The top does get warm at times, but mostly extremely cool to the touch
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] werdnoynek:
Never had an issue with heat with a few months of use. Only time I've noticed it is when I'm running backup or restore in TWRP.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] ShishkaBerry:
Compared to my S4 this is an ice cube. Maybe because I have the Ice Blue? The sim card holder in the S4 was starting to separate from the motherboard because of the heat!

It's gotten slightly warm a couple times sitting on the bed or a similar not well ventilated area but hard use and gaming doesn't make it boil. I've never been concerned about the temperature of this phone.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Nursi:
Occasionally gets hot in the pocket for no apparent reason
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] sanjibrout:
Phone does heat during multitasking 1 hour Skype call and heavy application of online betting and 1 more application but it does cool down automatically. Still love this phone

Gets heated while playing games, near Camera!!
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Deleted member 6703605:
My phone really gets hot after some ROM installation and few Boots up whithout resting. Around half top front and rear gets so hot that I can´t even make a call and I have to let it cool to keep using it as I´m afraid it would explode :S. Also performance has an impact when it gets hot obviously. LG, make some work with the cooling because this isn´t good.

My current phone heats up while using mobile data, quite hot actually, how does this phone do?

Mine gets hot when using Wi-Fi tethering and charging.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] bblzd:
The website notebookcheck tests for thermals and had this to say about the 5x:

Considering human skin temperature is around 38 degrees C, the 5x remains much cooler than most other devices. It still heats up, but it will be a few degrees cooler than other devices in all scenarios.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] crash_194:
I've found the phone fine under every condition other than gaming.

The phone seems to suffer from not being able to dissipate heat very well with it being plastic. I've seen CPU temps get up to 47 degrees Celsius and seemed to throttle and affect gaming performance.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Chris992:
I think the reason is playing an elaborate game.I believe the native android by Google is no problem at all.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] user822:
I read many reviews and Anandtech analysis of the problem, I was still shocked by how bad it is.

Just install two apps and scroll a bit in Spotify and the big cluster is throttled, holy hell this Snapdragon generation is a complete clusterf**k!

Snapdragon 801 is a lot better.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Notor1ouS-:
iam coming from a s801 phone (oneplus one).

it produced the same amount of heat during heavy usage.

i was not surprised after i had setup the 5x first time :P

s810 is way worse, s808 is actually ok.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] TheIronLefty:
Always stays cool exept when you are recording 4K or Slow-mo video.

and even when it turns off big clusters it still feels snappy to me :).
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] slenderbowman:
In normal use can sometimes get hot around fingerprint sensor
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Feelnside:
Gets heated during playing games, but I think the same problem for all devices at this moment.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Billys20:
I think increased heat is a small problem also...But it is stable enough

Good but not great.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Yoshileon:
Can confirm, the camera performs terrible, when no light is present. The pictures are black with a lot of noise.

I hope they fix this in the next update.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Charkatak:
In dim light situations the camera is good...

Few days ago I was at one place and lighting was about 30% out of 100 and 5X performed good, alghough photos had some noise, but they were not dark, which isn't bad.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Clivectmob:
Excellent for a phone, not much more to say.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] ValtheBatman:
How is this getting such bad rep and review compare to 6P when they both have exactly the same camera and take exactly the same quality pictures?
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] pieman13:
I couldn't disagree more with most of the people here. I have owned a G4, Note 5 MXPE and this camera ranks as follows in low light. 1-G4, 2-3 - Note 5 and 5X (about as even as it gets) MXPE-4
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] ppaasseeii:
Are you guys kidding? The low light pictures are nothing short of amazing. And I own a 1.8 35mm (which is better, obviously, but comparable).
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Beakerzor:
.agree
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] bblzd:
This. It's a $400 cell phone camera that compares well with $600+ device's cameras.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Azurael:
The sensor and lens are excellent for a phone. From about ISO 400, it resolves more detail than my Lumia 930, which uses a sensor which is only very slightly smaller but much higher resolution. It also has better dynamic range across the board. HDR+ is particularly impressive compared to the HDR modes on the other devices I've used. However, it really could have done with an image stabilizer to mitigate motion blur on longer exposures. I fairly consistently get less blur in low light with the Lumia and even my old G2, both of which have OIS.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Khushvantmagare:

Lowlight pictures are really amazing...

No issues here.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Deleted member 6703605:
Low light condition front camera without HDR+ is like taking a picture to nothing but black. With HDR+ activated is really awesome what it can do. Obviously is not like having a flash on front camera but it gets much better.

On rear camera without flash and HDR+ is much the same result as the front camera. With flash photos are really good quality and smooth.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] cheeze.keyk:
can you guys share photos taken on low light conditions?
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Andrewtst:
Extreme gorgeous!

It's ok. Lots of details
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] daver68:
I'm not a photographer by any means. So long as I can capture the moment, it's good enough.

I docked a star because the lack of OIS. It is noticeable under many circumstances, and it's sorely missed.

Otherwise, this camera is pretty darn great!
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] werdnoynek:
Coming from Oneplus One previously, this camera is 100x better IMO. No issues whatsoever.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] terrawatt:
Also comming from a OPO. The camera in NX5 is one of the best... I love to be able to take shots in low light without flash. HDR+ and 1.55 u size make great job.

Nexus 5X+ Nova+Root
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] maxmax0:
Great cam, have to say I dont miss the OIS at all, its useless for 99% of my photography use cases. Video is a different thing, but here you can enable EIS in the build.prop and it does a decent job too.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] amartolos:
I'm using the stock google camera on HDR+ mode for absolutely everything. Image quality even in low light is pleasantly surprising! I think I can get 85% of the image quality from my (well-aged) Pentax K-5 (built-in in-body stabilization) on the 35mm f/2.8 prime. Of course, HDR+ combines many shots in order to maintain colour saturation and reduce the appearance of noise, whereas on my Pentax I just shoot RAW and tweak one shot, so it's not a perfect comparison. But, the Nexus 5X is good enough for social media and one helluva lot lighter and easier to carry than the dSLR!

Also, I used to use a LG G4, and I prefer the look of google camera HDR+ compared to the LG camera HDR mode. Dynamic range and colour accuracy are all better on the Nexus 5X in my eyes.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] maxmax0:
You nailed it - as they say: "The best camera is the one that's with you."

Also interesting comparison regarding the G4, thank you!
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] fazzy31:
its cool
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] pezza10:
Coming from a Z3 Compact, this camera is leagues better, there is legitimately no comparison. That being said, the pictures are quite stunning, possibly in some circumstances rivalling my RX100. I am no photographer but I am very happy with the camera in this phone.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] babylovebabie:
Coming from Oneplus One previously, this camera is 100x better IMO. No issues whatsoever.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] androidddaaron:
Very very good ... Better then Moto x pure which has a 21mp camera.

Not to mention the camera mods available that make this camera close to 6p cam

I jumped to the N5x from a Samsung ATIV S.

Damn I miss the two phase shutter button, but quality wise the N5x wins, not that the ATIV S was bad, just looking a little dated these days...

Atrocious sound quality whilst videoing, considering sending back because of it...
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] rskyline:
Th sad part about that is that I'm almost sure that every Nexus have that issue, i mean, the Nexus 4 and 5 have that issue too, so it should be a Google's fault.

This video i made shows that, even with no so high sound it gets distorted.

Camera is quick enough for me - I usually just do point an shoot pictures.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Fragnatic_89:
I think camera launch speed is a hit or miss sometimes.

Most of the time it is quick. But at times, it takes like up to an second before the viewfinder comes on from black screen.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] rogerchew:
totally hit or miss. but i feel most of the time it's about 5-10 seconds from double hit power button to blue shutter button to take a pic. coming from an S6 which really marketed the **** out of their fast launch camera, this is night and day. Nexus needs to pick up some speed.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] bblzd:
It never takes longer than 2 seconds for me. I've compared it to my Nexus 5 and it's consistently 1 second faster to load the camera and ready to take a picture with HDR+ enabled.

You might have some background processes eating up your resources during the time it takes 5-10 seconds to load your camera. We can assume that is caused by one of your 3rd party apps. Most likely one that hasn't been properly updated to support Android 6.0.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] alexandremix:
Camera is Bugged
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] jon102034050:
camera is slow af to load compared to an s6 or any iOS device
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Nicki760:
trick i found for 3-4s off to capture time

just got a 5x, but found the shortcuts to camera too slow.

i worked out a trick which consistently gives me short capture times.

seems to work with any camera app; i use Camera X for burst.

prep work:

- allow fingerprint unlock

- launch desired camera app

- turn phone off

- pocket the thing and wait for... the moment.

- unlock with fingerprint and ...

- ... tap volume down to take a photo, or hold for burst

the biggest downside? the AF is slow, so my subject (a toddler) is often too quick / out of focus.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] xeon2630:
Happy with camera :)
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] bblzd:
Apparently 2 seconds from the phone being off to taking a HDR+ picture is slow to some people? :confused:

My camera always loads in 2 seconds and can snap HDR+ pictures in succession with zero delay (it processes in the background).

Compared to my N5, the camera is noticeably faster and the image quality is better too.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Deleted member 6703605:
Not the fastest camera but launches preety fast. It takes some time to focus and take a pictures. For the cost they shoud have improved this.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] granets:
Oh man, after the April Update, camera launches and focuses so much faster. I am amazed.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Apb:
From lock to take a picture, sometimes slow or even could not connect to camera. When I just got the phone it seemed fine, now I can't rely. Would 85% storage full affect it somehow?
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] AntLightCode:
Sometimes indeed it has some af issues (my toddler is sometimes faster than Nexus apparently) but there are very rare occasions. I take a bunch of photos and I've never experienced any real problem. Camera is responsive, and there is always the opportunity to take another shot :)

Yes, the camera is MUCH faster with Camera NX.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] briandrade97:
Slow..but still pretty good

takes some time to load and take a picture as mentioned before, however the camera quality makes up for the time. I had an iPhone 6s before my Nexus 5x and the nexus killed it when it came to photos. :D
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Nimalraj:
Camera is much faster in camera Nx but the hdr+ image processing seems to be more noise free on the stock google camera. These difference only becomes clear in very low light shots where one taken with the stock camera is much more sharp and noiseless compared to NX.

Camera software is okay...it lags at times and I don't like the interface much.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] TachyonGun:
The camera software on the Nexus 5X is not bad, but at the moment, it's limited in 3rd party app support as some viewfinders are flipped. There is also an issue with it reloading regardless of it being in the recentapp menu; even going to another app really quickly can reload the camera. Also, each time it reloads, it does so on default (rear cam, etc). Other than that, the UI is easy to use, the additional features and recording modes are nice, and HDR+ is really useful. I wish exposure adjustments were more consistent, as it's easy to get "blown out" images that lose detail to blobs of white.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] jongyrocka:

Ever since I installed phonealarm, ActiveSync has been a problem. Either it does not connect or auto-matically connects after every 4 to 5 mins, syncs calender and contacts for one minute and then disconnects.. Problem is if I am transferring a file to storage card, it disconnects before transfer is complete and then reconnects and then disconnects...

Somebody plz help me....
[General Topics] cktlcmd:
Have you tried this from the WiKi?

How can I stop Active Sync from always turning-on even when it is not connected to my PC?

Go to menu->add server source->write down any server address (fake)->complete procedure then menu->schedule->switch to manually (at the top of the list)

You have to give us more details. Was it working OK before phonealarm? How are you connected? Have you checked phonealarm's settings?

On my experience, the latest version of phonealarm causes problems, so I still am using version 1.58.

When I charge with included charger the charge rate I have seen was 2630 mA, but I think the charging could be slightly unpredictable. When screen is on, it could sometimes charge much slower, than when screen is off. Other times it seems that the battery indicator could get stuck and barely increase % when charging, so the good way for me was to turn off the phone and then back on, to see the actual battery life.
