[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creambyemute:
You may call that jerky, we call it laggy, janky whatever. But you do agree it's not as fluid as the N5? Or could you even ever compare the N5 to the N5X? It is by no means fluid and for me not an acceptable performance. My N5 runs rounds around the N5X when it's not about gaming. And exactly that is my point. Why is the N5 in basic tasks (Menu, browsing, scrolling, animations) faster than the N5X? I didn't expect a downgrade in everyday task performance and it hit me hard in the disappointment section.

It's just an upgrade if you are constantly playing games (performance wise). In the most basic tasks the N5 crushes the N5X performance. But the thread starter can decide that himself if he buys the N5X and I would really like to hear his opinion then after comparing the two devices ;)

Are you kidding? I agree the camera is better than the one found in N5 but my Mi4C took way better pictures than the N5X and several levels better when capturing some close distance shots (really close distance) and you know what? The Mi4C is cheaper.

I don't want to sound like the camera is bad in every aspect, but top notch is fanboy talk...

Actually whenever I wanted to take a close distance picture with an N5X I always ended up with the picture being blurred to the point I couldn't even recognize what should be on the picture :crying:.

Some people also say the Nexus 9 is a very good tablet whereas my mate and I who bought the devices together would call it the worst nexus product until now

Now let me mention some things I like about the N5X because I don't totally hate the device and I'm just so disappointed that the performance is worse than on the N5 in almost every situation.

- Screen: I already got several compliments that the screen is well calibrated and looks pretty good.

- USB C: It's positive as well as negative. I like the new connector, but all of my friends who don't have it hate it because they can't use my charger nor my cable :P

- Front facing speakers (just don't turn the volume up too much, otherwise the sound gets ****ty)

- Quick Charging: Absolutely love that! Helped me out in many situations where I just needed like 20-30% more charge to get through the day or the night.

- Screen gets activated when you lift the phone from the desk or out of your pocket, pretty convenient

- You'll maybe be able to access the notification tray and quick settings panel with the fingerprint scanner in Android N

So it is really worse performance N5X than N5 in daily using?

I don't know if I would go that far. I feel like with my N5, I had to choose between a smooth experience or battery life. With the N5X it that isn't so much the case. That being said, there are times where this phone will lag on even the most simplest of tasks with no explanation or reason. It's beyond frustrating. At this point you're better off waiting for the new Nexus phones to come out and snagging one of those instead.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritchea:
I would (am) wait(ing). I wouldn't even replace my N5, but it's showing problems with modem and gps. It's been suggested that our N5X is defective because of the jerky/lagging touch responsiveness. When it's placed next to the N5, the color calibration seems off. N5 has much whiter whites and just appears crisper than what I see on the 5X. The 5X belongs to hubby who doesn't care about the off-white tint, but he really dislikes the fact that touches have to be repeated even 3 times before they respond. I would try a custom kernel, but he doesn't want me messing with his phone. He doesn't use his phone for much. If the new phones don't meet my needs/wants, I'll get a 6P. It's a little big but haven't seen any other problems with the one we have.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giorgos Chatziioannou:
What you call "whiter white" is blue white and actually shows a bad calibration, just saying. If you prefer such color pallete then better go for samsung. Also there is an option in dev settings to "fix" it, though i have it disabled. No difference (unless you compare) in the day, while the blue white hurts my eyes in the night

Back to topic, stock 5x is a bit laggy but EX kernel with ghostpepper fixed that for me.

Battery is ok, similar to my G2 and people did not whine about that phone so i dont know why everyone is pissed with 5x

If someone (creambyemute :p) believes that the camera is bad, then should get a eye surgery appointment soon. Just kidding, but you should tap your screen to focus at that distance/objec. If the blur persists just focus on something else and then back at your target ;)

5x has great well-light photos, good low light ones, though no stabilizer so videos are shaky

All that being said new nexus phones should not be too far, so you might as well wait for them
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RashidD:
For all the people complaining about daily performance... Just flash PA rom. Done. Phone is smooth now.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimummind:
With the new Nexus phones coming out soon, I wouldn't upgrade to the 5X if I were you. I got my 5X when it first came out and I had a Nexus 5 before.

There are some improvements but nothing major despite a 2-yr gap. Better camera, better battery, better screen, but laggy and slow sometimes. I was kind of disappointed when I first got my 5X.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EeZeEpEe:
You've waited this long with the N5, what's another 2 months for the next Nexus phones? Unless you can get some amazing deal and don't mind having 1 year old hardware, I suggest waiting.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bokilz:
agreed

i suggested waiting too as the new nexus build quality is definitly going to be better then the 5X build quality. HTC is gonna make it this time according to various sources.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritchea:
I know all the commentary about the color palette/calibration/preference/true colors arguments which makes it a little difficult to determine if, in fact, one actually has a defective screen (as I had on my first N7 FLO which looked worse than my then current N7). I prefer the color tones on my N5. However, I did change to cool temperature option on the 5x, and I think it's more to my preference. I do like the amoled display on the 6P and think the samoled's are all right. It was big change from Galaxy Nexus to N4. Ultimately, it's all about the point you bring up (blue white hurts my eyes in the night). No two people see anything exactly the same way so all we can do is get what works for us. Actually, I prefer the displays on the ios devices, that and battery life, but that's it.

The pictures were taken with the N9 which no one can argue has a great camera; however, it shows the differences. One can also see that the 5x presents sharper images on the screen. I will say that I thought the 5 showed clearer text than the pics show. I'm sure someone (anyone) could have taken betters shots. The left pic is warmer display; the right is cooler.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giorgos Chatziioannou:
Thus why i said that sammy phones are probably more in your alley, they also have a neutral color option if you feel like it too.

My friends like samsung so i have seen few of their phones and amoled is not really my cup, stunning colors but you can take picture of a bulb light room and it will be chock full of orange while the same picture on other phones looks white/yellow.

I heard that the s7 has not such aggressive saturation, but until i can meet with my friend to check his s7 edge i cant say for sure. I will update when that happens if you want
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
I've had zero performance issues with my 5x since I bought it 9 months ago. There hasn't been a single instance where I've found it to be slower than my N5, and multiple instances of it being faster such as connection speeds, gaming performance and loading the camera. Storage speeds are also much faster than the N5 even with encryption enabled on the 5x and disabled on the N5 (less secure).

The camera on the 6p and 5x (same camera) was well regarded as one of the best cell phone cameras until this years devices started rolling out. Details with HDR+ are insane, low light performance is out of this world, and the pictures come out fast and snappy with the camera loaded and capturing scenes within 2-3 seconds from being locked. Most importantly: everything you take a picture of looks like it does in real life with your eyes.

It can't be a fanboy comment when every review of the camera on the 5x and 6p agrees: it is absolutely top notch.

It sucks that you haven't experience the 5x to its fullest, I'm not sure if you have a defective 5x or possibly are causing the issues with your 3rd party software but your experience is not typical.

My friend has recently acquired a Nexus 5x about 2 weeks ago and so far has had the same experience myself. Snappy, smooth, and the best phone at this price range by a large margin.

Not in my experience and I've owned the 5x since launch day and a N5 since its launch day as well.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b1g1an:
I made the swap a month ago when Carphone Warehouse in the UK were clearing stock for £130 and don't regret it at all. Feels exactly like you would expect a two year newer N5 to feel, nothing earth shattering, just slicker all round. Put the Nougat DP5 straight on it which obviously helps but only downside for me is no wireless charging as mine lived on a wireless deskstand all day at the office but the quick charging and better battery life make up for it... just have to remember to plug it in for a bit in the evening.

Wasn't keen on how light it is but I always use a case and once that was on all was good. Solid recommendation for the Supcase if you get one, cheap, top quality and once you slit the buttons all is good.

I wouldn't have been looking if it wasn't so cheap or the N5 battery was going but very glad I did and have a got a much more up to date phone for a lot less than half the price of one of the new Nexi when they come out. I stuck a new battery in the N5 and now my youngest is even happier than I am.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenessus:
Regarding the N5X camera discussion here....

Macro pictures are not important to me. I don't need close-up pictures.

In normal use, the camera is spectacular. I recently went on a trip to Italy with a real camera and, honestly, I didn't even use it. The N5X camera has a wide scope, high quality, and great color reproduction. It's the same camera as that on the N6P, same exact camera; the only difference is not EIS but that can be fixed if rooted (it's disabled by default to make N6P more premium).

Check out the picture thread for examples of users' photos.

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/general/excellent-camera-t3230797

Sure, it's no Samsung Galaxy 7, but few phones can compare to the 7's camera.

And who cares about macro?

One more thing about N5 camera vs N5X camera...

I had the N5 previously. If there was ONE thing I hated about the N5 is that pictures took 2-5 seconds to get taken after you press the button.

While on the 5X, it is practically instantaneous.

Last thing...

Come on, get the new Nexus which will launch in about 1-2 months.

Hello guys! How are you?

I didn´t find some topic with this...I searched for good screen protector but it´s hard to find and to work it with some case...

I already bought the AmazingThing screen protector to try it (on the topic off screen protectors it seens to be the better one until now), but didn´t instal it yet because i bought also a case and I want to try this before because I think that they won´t work together...

Well...this topic is to users who are using it without any screen protector!

- How is your screen?

- It´s demaged or it´s ok?

- There are to many scratches?

- Just a few scratches that with screen turn on you can´t see it?

The first month with the S7E I used it withou screen protector and the screen was ok, no scratches until that time...after that I´m trying some screen protectors...but I´m tired of just try ****...

Thinking to use without but scared to fu**up the phone haha

Leave your experience!

u don't have to worry as long u don't throw ur phone in a pocket or bag with keys/coins/stuff!!! Never used a screen on my S6 edge / Note 5 and S7 edge and never had a issue until the other day i threw my S7 edge in my messenger which had a bunch of stuff in it :( now it has a tiny scratch... all my fault.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Natjosh:
Just be careful with your phone man! Try and get a case with a good bump just in case.

Excellent case

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Spigen-Ga...hash=item2a620cfa7b:m:mAfuriPqn_SdIzjPx4v3IOg

I have been using the above case since April. I use my phone a lot at home and work. I have no marks whatsoever . Screen protectors are very hit and miss for the edge s7. I probably wasted about £30 on different variants and to be honest none of them were any good. Make sure the case is a genuine Spigen as there are lots of other sellers palming off fakes.

Hope this helps :good:

Using my S7 Edge without a screen protector for more than 2 months now with just a UAG case. Not a single scratch.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Coderedpl:
Surprisingly no micro scratches or anything on it besides the big cracks going along the screen, that I have since I dropped the phone. Might aswell go on with the insurance claim.

No screen protector and a tiny scratch visible when the screen is bright. Bought during june.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ecmperalta:
thank you all guys! I got one "glass" screen protector (seens to be the best option with others users reviews), but I haven´t installed it yet...maybe I´ll try it before using without because I already bought it, but I´m tired to search it...if it doesn´t work well I´ll use it without and be happy

I see that maybe will have some tiny scratches...that tiny scratches you can see with the display on or just when it is turned off?

If you could put some photos I´ll thank you a lot!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] uggies:
I usually put on tempered glass protectors on all of my phones but I couldn't find a proper one for my S7E. I've using mine with no protecotor for more than a month now, but not a single scratch so far. I don't like the film ones, they tend to get dirty overtime and I hate the rainbow effect on the flim.

I'd recommend you go naked with S7E because the screen seems strong enough to resist scraches from dusts. Well I do use my phone carefully, as in I barely drop it and don't put it in my pocket with keys or anything. So If you are like me, you probably wouldn't need one :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Masterfellow:
I'm not using any protector, but occasionally I use the 0.3mm thin silicon case that covers just the back. No scratches.

No screen protector

I have a case without a screen protector on my S7 Edge.

So far so good. I've had the phone since May and it doesn't look like I have any scratches yet.

I make sure that when I put the phone in my pocket that I don't have anything else in that pocket, especially not anything metal or other hard substances like sand.

I tried a few screen protectors and I couldn't find any that would fit well enough so I just gave up.

Tech21 is awesome and very slim. I posted a thread about a screen protector from 5below (store here in NC) that's 5 dollars. Best one I've found yet. I've tried skinomi and zagg. I will say my case needed some modifications with my dremmel so it wouldn't keep making the edges come up.

Hi to all,

Wanted to ask if someone has this case.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] s.lanso:
Hello, I just saw this. I've posted this in one of the other posts. This is my take on the Atomic 2.0::

Just received the Ghostek Atomic 2.0 Case. Even though Screen is not glass does not feel that back. No stickiness like plastic films. But for now just had it on for some hours so can't really say for long run yet.

It is a bit wider like a little over 1/4" more than the UAG case. Which adds to black borders on the front as seen on the pictures. So if you already had trouble using it with one hand, this would cause a bit more trouble.

The thickness is about the same as the UAG case when both are facing screen down.

This case advertises Waterproof but has 2 openings for the speaker grill on top and the home button on bottom. I would expect water could get in through those openings. Screen is dot matrix.

The look of the case for me is nice and does not make it look ugly in my perspective. As because the screen guard as they call it make it look like the screen is showing more than some cases that adds front black plastic borders on top and bottom.

The one thing is you might want to use wireless charging more due to having to open up ports more often if using a usb charger.

Here are some pictures I took. Sorry about quality. The best Camera I have is the GS7 edge. lol.

http://imgur.com/a/osNxm

Right now I'm using it with the TANAAB Screen protector.

I'll post more about it. But first reactions seems to be a good case but would depend on how you would see it and if the 1/4" width bigger than a UAG case would be a drawback or not.

It Seems that Ghostek send several out to Mobilefun or Uviyo in batches but haven't shipped through their main site.

Update:

Update about the openings mentioned above. The waterproof works and does not get inside case if there's nothing that raises the area where the openings are. I had the TANAAB TGSP that doesn't go full length of the phone let water in but when removed and tested no water went in. So waiting to test it with a similar TGSP like GPEL2 that fully extends the the phone and see how that works.

When With TANAAB. Sensitivity didn't change and could provide good protection if needed as the outside screen is just a thin plastic film.

Just wanted to point this out.
