This phone has one of the busiest backs we've ever seen. The rear of the phone isn't removable and so the battery is sealed in. Oh, and the phone still operates at USB 2.0 speed for data transfers - don't confuse the Type-C connector with the USB 3.1 standard. 909.99 each, though they aren't available for purchase at the time of filing this review. Google currently lists these on its store website for Rs. Note that the cable that comes with the phone has Type-C on both ends, so you'll need an adapter or a Type-A to Type-C cable to use other chargers and to transfer data to or from pretty much any current-day computer. Nexus 5X buyers will have a little trouble with compatibility, as the simple joy of being able to use any charger anywhere is sacrificed. It's finally time for the venerable Micro-USB Type-B port to start being phased out, and this is one of the many phones that will release this year with Type-C. The 3.5mm socket is on the bottom, but far more interesting is the brand new USB Type-C port. We had a little trouble with the tray, which first wouldn't fit smoothly and then wouldn't come out. There's a single Nano-SIM tray on the left, and there's no provision for a second SIM or a microSD card. The power button is on the right edge, and it's high enough to fall right under a thumb or forefinger depending on which hand you're holding the phone in. The 5.2-inch screen nearly comes up to the sides of the Nexus 5X's body, but it's still a wide phone and not all that easy to hold in one hand for long durations. There's a slightly raised ridge running around the periphery that helps keep the screen from getting scratched when the phone is lying anywhere face down, but as expected it felt a little uncomfortable when we held the phone up to our ears. Interestingly, the notification LED is hidden in the lower grille.

While the look is slightly reminiscent of Motorola's Moto X series phones, you don't get stereo sound - the earpiece is just that and nothing more. The most distinctive thing about it, when seen from the front, is the large loudspeaker grille below the screen which matches the earpiece grille on top. Let's see if it can make the same kind of impact on the market that its predecessors had. Today we're reviewing the LG Google Nexus 5X, which is meant to be the more reasonable, restrained option of the two.

They both come with Nexus Imprint Google's native Android fingerprint recognition framework, which is a headlining Android 6.0 feature. Google is of course pushing these out to demonstrate just how it thinks Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) devices should look and feel.

This allows it to show off a flagship-class all-metal phone with a massive screen as well as serve the mainstream market which needs more of a workhorse. This year, Google is putting out two models: the Nexus 5X and the Nexus 6P. The Nexus 6 was the largest (and most expensive) of all Nexus smartphones till then, and not everyone was thrilled. After a string of mainstream successes, Google went high-end last year. Frustrated with its partners' insistence on developing custom UIs and loading up their phones with bloat, Google decided to create a showcase collection of devices to hopefully serve as inspiration.

Google's Nexus line has always been about showing off the best of Android.
