[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Andrewtst:
It actually look nice in actual.

My Nexus 5X actually started making creaking sounds about a week after use. I know it's plastic, but there are plastic phones out there that don't do that. So, I'm not too keen on the build quality.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] evangilner:
Would you guys say it feels better or worse than the original Nexus 5?
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] CubeCloudOS:
Very high quality, but the buttons are shallow
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] bblzd:
I would rate them the same. Solid plastic devices, but with clear signs of being built on a budget.

There's a bit of a gap between the back cover, and heat expansion as well as removing the (very tight at first) USB-C connector seems to increase the gap and potentially cause some creaks. However it is minor and rarely happens for me, so it's easily forgotten.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] mnd86:
Hello, I had the Nexus 5x Black in hand yesterday and it is polucarbonate soft feel in hand, definetly better material than dhe Nexus 5 2013. I want to ask you guys? The white color its the same material as the black? Because the Nexus 5 2013 there was a diference in bulid materials....
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] bblzd:
Same matte plastic feeling with all 3 colours of the 5x according to online sources.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] werdnoynek:
Not a huge fan of the back cover, but it grew on me with use. I think it feels great in the hand.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] ShishkaBerry:
This feels waaaaay better than my S4. The plastic back on that was cheap af, cracked in a week. You could see where the pressure points from the corners of the battery were because it cracked there. Ofc I got the white and the cracks are now filled with dirt.

The back of the 5X feels sturdy and robust, I haven't had any creaking like others. I have an ice blue made in Oct 15
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] hamedunix:
Just out of curiosity, has anyone noticed discoloration on this fingerprint sensor?
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] CubeCloudOS:
No I have not, the backing resists fingerprints, smudges, and discoloration.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] consmast:
Guys, totally different issue: if you look closely with your eye on the other end of the longer edge of your Nexus 5X (having your shorter edge vertically) - can you see the edge is perfectly straight or it's bent/curved in some areas, especially around buttons? I thought my new shiny N5X will be damn solid, but I believe it's a problem of how the housing is made.

Please confirm! Thanks!
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Argeddion:
Perfectly straight. But only used it for about a week
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] gamepr:
Mine has been doing the same thing and it drives me crazy. I'm thinking of returning it and just getting an old nexus 5.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] mykenyc:
The only way i alleviated the creaking was using a supcase, or i would have returned it myself.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] darkmage1991:
just received mine on tuesday, and got to say the only thing that immediately stood out to me as being "cheep" feeling was the buttons. they are very mushy and dont have good tactile feedback. but overall the device feels great.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] anotherfakeusername:
The reviews are wrong, this is really nice device. It's hard to believe that it costs $400 less than other phones.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] somilia:
I absolutely love how the back feels. I'm using the Quartz White version and since i'm very careful with it from being dirty, i ordered a DBrand skin (Black Leather for Back, Frame and Camera) from overseas.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] fix-this!:
The phone doesnt feel cheap to me. But I did put on a supcase for added protection. Gives it a great feel in hand, very durable.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] FaizuI:
I wish it has,

1) Dual stereo speaker,

2) Great buttons,

3 At least 3gb of Ram

4) 3000mAH battery at least

5) Amoled display

Well, it's my 2nd phone so I think it's no big deal.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] adobeman:
I had read all the reviews and seen many videos where people referred to it as light, cheap and plasticy. They'd compare it to the 6P and other "flag ship" models that used more metal as if metal was somehow better. The first time I picked up my 5X I realized they were full of crap. It's fine. Metal dents, plastic doesn't. Metal scratches often revealing a different base color, plastic doesn't. I prefer lighter weight to heaver. I also read about how not having an AMOLED screen was so bad. It is true the black levels are nowhere near as good on the 5X as AMOLED but I never noticed just how over-saturated and badly white-balanced my SGSIII was until I set it next to my 5X. Yeah, life would be great if it had more memory, maybe an AMOLED screen, volume buttons on the left side, yada, yada, yada but I got the thing brand new (32G model) through Project Fi for $250. I don't see any down sides, just a lot for my money. At $399 I'd probably feel differently. But phones are tools, not jewels. Get the best value for the job at hand, not the one you want to show off in public. j/s
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] RashidD:
I don't mind the build quality. It's not stellar, but it's not as bad as some people make it out to be.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Andrewtst:
Even though back is plastic but it feel and look nice (for black color edition)
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Ultramanoid:
The 5X started creaking loudly the moment it came out of the box. Grabbing it would make it creak. Holding it would make it creak. Just tapping on the screen would make it creak. Not that it feels fragile by any means, but it was annoying and noisy. The constant, non-stop, loud creaking. I've had plenty of devices made of plastic over the years, and none did this.

But the thing that made me get rid of it after only two days, was how filthy it became for no reason. Again, a first for me. And I've had and handled dozens of Android devices, but never seen anything as bad as this. In exactly 48 hours of use, the borders of the white back plate were stained in dirty dark grey, same as the borders of the camera bump, and there was a long grey line ( ? ) as if drawn with a pencil, in the middle of the back. Where did that come from, anybody's guess. Nothing we could do to clean them either, water, soap, alcohol... For those two days of use the device didn't even leave the house, was not hit with anything, or touched by anything other than clean hands.

Stay way, simple as that.

[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] anotherfakeusername:
Great phone, but not perfect. They put the on/off button on the side, next to the volume, which is a mess. It should be on the top so it's easy to find.

Then the fingerprint reader and camera should be swapped. When you hold your hand in a natural position, your index finder rest on the camera, in part because it sticks out. It's hard to even feel the fingerprint reader.

They they swapped the fingerprint reader and the camera, and the fingerprint reader stuck out instead, then it would be awesome, and natural.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] mig0r:
Bad body/screen ratio. Bad buttons placement.

It's a Nexus. The "skin"(such an inaccurate term), or really the lack of one, is the main selling point of the phone.

[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] svetius:
Gets decently bright
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Clivectmob:
Andantech said it was one of, if not the most accurately calibrated displays in a phone, period. I'd agree with that.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] PiousInquisitor:
One thing I noticed this weekend is the display is nearly impossible to view in landscape while wearing glasses with polarized lenses. It's pretty annoying when trying to take a photo while biking or hiking.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] jbdan:
Unfortunately a side effect of IPS LCD displays from what I know. I've never owned an LCD display phone that allowed me to view the screen is landscape without going dark.

As for the OP, it is very good outdoors imo
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] the_scotsman:
Not just IPS...all displays. It's the polarizing layer. Just the luck of the draw which orientation it's affected by. The Lumia 950 XL has an OLED display, and it's affected in portrait mode.

Some screen protectors will alter the angle it affects it, or remove it almost completely.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] marleyfan61:
This is hardly unique to the nexus. Lots of displays have this issue.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] PiousInquisitor:
So? The point of these posts is to bring up issues like this.

BTW, my G3 and work iPhone look fine in landscape with the same glasses that make the 5X unusable.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] leo.best1398:
Ok. Not the best. Screen really needs to be turned up to max to see when in sunlight
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] roughneck57:
Hi, have unlocked an spv m600 and need to transfer sim information to the m600 phone memory (contacts). Problem is that sim information has lots of spurious characters - probably to do with it coming out of a sony ericson phone. Can anybody recomend a piece of software I can use onscreen to transfer and edit the data?

cheers,

How well do you know your fifty shades of grey? Rate this thread to express how good the LG Nexus 5X's display contrast is. A higher rating indicates that black is true black, rather than a very dark gray.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] svetius:
Meh contrast. Blacks are kind of a dark gray.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] bblzd:
Best black levels I've seen on an IPS display to date, ambient display looks practically like OLED on here.

True contrast ratio is about 1:1500 and looks amazing.

Huge improvement over the N5 which was no slouch in the display quality department itself.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] jimv1983:
Blacks are as good as I would ever expect on a LCD display.

EDIT: Just did a side by side comparison with my Nexus 5 and the blacks/contrast on the Nexus 5X is better than the Nexus 5. Also, screen uniformity on the Nexus 5X is better. The screen obviously can't do pure black like an AMOLED can but it's pretty good for a LCD with perfect uniformity(at least that I can tell) across the entire screen. On the Nexus 5X with a full black background in a totally dark room with the brightness at 100% and my Nexus 5X has ZERO light bleed from the edges of the display. I think this is the first time in my life that I can say that. Every LCD I have ever seen(smartphone, TV, computer monitor, etc) had some level of light bleed from the edges.

I still prefer AMOLED to LCD but as far as LCDs go I have 0 complaints for the Nexus 5X.

[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] svetius:
Colors are a bit dull
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] bblzd:
Colours pop more more than the N5 and they seem fairly accurate.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] buru898:
Fairly accurate but a bit warm. Some people might like it though, I prefer a sharp white but it's good on the eye anyway.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Charkatak:
Good color representation and enough color punch

I am satisfied with the color saturation and accuracy. I wouldn't want the color to be more saturated compared to amoled screen. The screen on my 5X is relaxing, there is no pressure/strain to the eyes(auto brightness is on) it just feels right!
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] mcantu:
According to Anandtech the colors and white point are spot on as far accuracy goes...

http://www.anandtech.com/show/9742/the-google-nexus-5x-review/2

Years of over saturated colors and much too blue white points have conditioned us to think that displays should look like that
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] CrushD:
Colors seem accurate, EXCEPT for when viewing videos. Colors seem extremely muted when in a video, for instance in youtube, you might see a screenshot of a video when choosing what video to watch, but if you click it and get to the same scene, the colors will be muted in video.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] fink.nottle:
I'm seeing similar behaviour. Gamma looks out of whack in youtube. Blacks are totally washed out. Everything looks overexposed. Not sure if it's a software/driver issue. The display looks great otherwise. Need to try out some other video apps (kodi, mxplayer etc.) to confirm.

Edit: It is indeed a software issue. It's the difference between 16-235 vs 0-255. See this thread for more details https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus6P/comments/3r9ftg/defective_6p_screen_vs_normal/

Also: https://productforums.google.com/fo...J0aLRo/YIFmN5jXAQAJ;context-place=forum/nexus

The youtube test fails on my n5x, but not on my n5
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] jimv1983:
I'm pretty happy with it. Improved compared to the Nexus 5(which was good too). Some owners have reported a very warm/yellowish screen but luckily I'm not having that issue. I rated it a 4/5 for saturation and accuracy which is as good as possible for a LCD.

EDIT: So I just did a side by side comparison between my Nexus 5 and Nexus 5X. Side by side the Nexus 5X is noticeably warmer but it's not overly warm and honestly, coming from someone who prefers displays on the cooler side because they look more life like, I actually would give the slight edge to the Nexus 5X. But like I said that is only side by side. With each phone on its own I can't really tell either one being too warm or too cool. As far as saturation goes the Nexus 5X is better. The colors on the Nexus 5 were noticeably more washed out compared to the Nexus 5X(although not that bad). I really see it in the red of the Chrome icon, the green of the Hangouts icon and the blue of the Facebook icon. It's still not AMOLED colors but closer than the Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] CrushD:
Does anyone know if any of the custom ROMs fix this issue? I don't see it mentioned as a feature in any of the first posts of the ROMs posted in this forum...
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] fink.nottle:
No, but this is a kernel bug. Someone identified the commit in the reddit thread. So you wouldn't even need an entire ROM for a fix. A kernel fix should do it. I don't have enough posts to post in the kernel forums, but you should post in the elementalx kernel thread. The dev seems to be active in developing kernels for all the nexus phones.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] James1o1o:
Nexus 5 has a white point of just over 7000k, the 5X is almost bang on 6500k.

Like many have said, we are just used to seeing "cooler" colours in our phones. Nexus 5X is really accurate as far as colours go.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] bblzd:
That is true though some 5x are arriving with extreme yellow tints which make them look like 5000k or even warmer. Anyone who gets one of these would be 100% correct in saying the device is too yellow, unfortunately since most people are so used to cold blue screens they might not even be able to tell which they received as compared to their old device even a proper 5x panel will probably look warm.

For example this was a replacement 5x device I received on the right which went straight back to Google.

[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] The_Automator:
Im fairly certain its addressed by kernels not roms... Personally i use Flar2's elemental kernel and have since the Original N5. With his app (which im happy to support) you have full colour controls including gamma. Which you can flash over stock or custom rom depending on your preference his kernel is in the Original Development section.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] AerialExplorer:
Nice colours
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] analog_gamer:
My last phone (lg g2) was ruining my eyes. Too cool blue with strong contrast. Overtime a screen with false colors and contrast can ruin your vision - making the real world seem dull.

The Nexus 5X is correct and easier on the eyes.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] jugoslavpetrovic:
Well, it seems to me that default color is pumped, like vivid, almost neonic a bit and warm. Which is good I guess for the phone. Im not planning to do any color balancing and adjustments on my phone, I would use the PC for that kind of work of course.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Andrewtst:

[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] buru898:

[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] MattiasSod:
Its a good screen, no doubt. Expect when scrolling, text gets really blurry. Compared side by side with the Nexus 5 its a noticeable difference. Please test, especially if you own both devices and respond.

[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] consmast:
What about scrolling? Isn't it getting blurry especially on the non-black colors? I.e. scrolling through Google search results. It looks much worse than Nexus 5.

Not great. LCD has trouble with very low brightness
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] bblzd:
I've never seen an IPS display brightness get as low as this. Phone arena measured it at 2 nits.

Not many people need their screen to get that low but for those who do, it's there.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Charkatak:
Screen can get really dim on manual setting

For me, the lowest brightness setting was never needed, but if there are users that want to take advantage of this then it is there.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] scoliosis:
Anyone have issues with the adaptive brightness feature lowering the screen brightness way too low? In a room where the light source is in front of me (behind the phone since it's pointing at me) the phone screen will dim and make it impossible to read. Increasing the brightness doesn't help as it will get way too bright when something bright comes on behind me for a few seconds.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] ShishkaBerry:
Omg I LOVE how low the brightness gets, its perfect for waking up at 3 am and checking the time. I'm one of those people who keeps the screen on the lowest brightness possible, never use auto brightness. I've never seen a screen have as huge of a range of brightness as this. You can go from "I can't see wtf is on the screen" to "AHHHHHH! MY EYES, THEY ARE BURNING!" in half a second.

[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] b0gman:
Overall call quality on the device is excellent, I would even say its the equal of the s6 that it replaced. However, as someone that uses WiFi calling I do have to complain a bit here. Wifi calls come through fine but approximately 10 seconds in to the call my voice becomes choppy on the other end. I never have the issue on VoLTE so this is an issue with wifi calling not VOIP capabilities of the device. I do spend more time than average on the phone which is typically for me around 3 hours a day roughly sometimes as much as 5.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] neinfricatu:
Quality is excellent for me, coming from an lg g3, i can say that the call quality is better, clear, crisp and louder than in g3.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] jimv1983:
Call quality is good on my end. I'm not sure about call quality on the other end since I've never asked but no one has complained about not being able to understand me so I guess it must be good enough.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] stnq3r:
i think it depends on counrty to country or cellular providers.
