The Google Nexus 5X is now available to buy from the Google Store in a number of European countries.
The handset is available to buy in the UK Google Store and other European Google Stores, and Google is showing the handset as shipping in one to two days.
Specifications and Features
As a reminder, the Nexus 5X comes with a 5.2 inch IPS Full HD display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. This ensures a crisp and clear viewing experience, making it ideal for watching videos, browsing the web, and playing games. The device is powered by a Snapdragon 808 processor, which is a hexa-core chipset known for its balance of performance and efficiency. It also comes with 2GB of RAM, which should be sufficient for most everyday tasks and multitasking needs.
The Nexus 5X offers a choice of 16GB or 32GB of built-in storage. While this may seem limited compared to some of the higher-end models available today, it should be adequate for users who primarily use cloud storage solutions or do not require extensive local storage for apps and media.
Camera Capabilities
The handset comes with front and rear-facing cameras. On the front of the device, there is a 5-megapixel camera designed for selfies and video calls. This camera is capable of capturing decent quality images and videos, making it suitable for social media and casual photography.
On the back, there is a 12.3-megapixel camera for photos and videos. This rear camera is equipped with features such as laser autofocus and dual-LED flash, which help in capturing sharp and well-lit images even in challenging lighting conditions. The camera is also capable of recording 4K video, allowing users to capture high-resolution videos with impressive detail.
The Google Nexus 5X comes with the latest version of Google’s mobile OS, Android 6.0 Marshmallow. This version of Android introduces several new features and improvements, including enhanced app permissions, a new battery-saving feature called Doze, and Google Now on Tap, which provides contextual information and actions based on the content currently displayed on the screen.
Additional Features and Considerations
One of the standout features of the Nexus 5X is its fingerprint sensor, located on the back of the device. This sensor allows for quick and secure unlocking of the phone, as well as authentication for various apps and services. The placement of the sensor is designed to be intuitive, allowing users to unlock their phone naturally as they pick it up.
The Nexus 5X also includes a USB Type-C port for charging and data transfer. This newer standard offers faster charging times and more reliable connections compared to the older micro-USB standard. Additionally, the reversible design of the USB Type-C connector makes it easier to plug in the cable without worrying about the orientation.
Battery life is another important consideration for any smartphone, and the Nexus 5X comes equipped with a 2,700mAh battery. While this may not be the largest battery available, the combination of the efficient Snapdragon 808 processor and the battery-saving features of Android 6.0 Marshmallow should provide a full day of usage for most users.
