Now Heading Towards The Title,
What Went Wrong With Nexus 5X?
– No Expandable Storage : What Were They Thinking To Continue With No Memory Expansion Trend? Starting With 16GB And Highest Till 32Gb, An Average User Wont Even Think Of Buying The Nexus 5X, Since Storing A Couple Of Movies And A High End Game, Would Saturate The phone Already. And If One Shoots A 4K Video, The Phone Will Run Out Of Memory In Just Half An Hour Of 4K Video Recording. It’s A Definite Deal-Breaker For Avid Photographers.
– Single Speaker : No One Would Want A Single Speaker, Especially When The Design Shows Dual Speakers, Of Which Only One Is The Speaker.
– No Qi Wireless Charging : Spending So Much, One Would Definitely Expect The Convenient Qi Wireless Charging. Absence Of Qi Wireless Charging, That Too When It’s Predecessor Nexus 6 Had It, Is A Huge Disappointment.
– NO OIS : Google Claims That The New Nexus 6P Is Camera-Focused Phone. Then No OIS And Lack Of Many Advanced Camera Software Features Like Not Having Filters Or Pro Camera Mode Adds To Disappointments. Moreover, The Nexus 5X Has A Less Powerful Processor Which Means, Though The Cameras Are Same On Both Nexus Devices, Additional Shooting Modes Like 240fps Slow Motion, Smartburst And Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) Aren’t Available On The Nexus 5X.
– 2GB RAM : With The Increments Of The Phones, People Expect Increments In RAM Too. 2GB RAM Is Not At All Promising, Especially When Even The Predecessor Which Is 2 Years Old Had 2GB Of RAM.
Overall, Nexus 5X Is Similar To Nexus 5, With A Few Bumps. The Ultimate Decision, As Usual Lies Upon Your Choices. Write Down Below, Whether What Do You Think About Nexus 5X And Do Mention If I Forgot To Mention Any Of The Cons Below.
