It's not just the differences in size that separate the screens on this year's Nexus devices: The two phones' displays are drastically different in the way they appear - and for some people, that may be a make-or-break factor. Plenty of people like that vibe more than a metal-centric style (my wife included). Sure, the 6P is objectively the nicer phone of the two - very intentionally, by design - but there's something to be said about a lighter and warmer-feeling device, too. My, you're stylish: The differing approaches of the Nexus 5X (left) and 6P (right)Īgain, which approach is preferable comes down to a matter of your own personal preference. All the details down to the differently textured metal buttons are carefully thought out and incredibly well-crafted. It's heavier and colder-feeling than the 5X, but it's as luxurious and thoughtfully designed as the best of 'em. The 6P, on the other hand, is a metal-based beauty that's premium as can be. It doesn't give off the most premium vibe, but it seems sturdy and well-constructed - not cheap or chintzy, as plastic done the wrong way on phones sometimes can. The 5X is made of plastic, which makes it feel light and inviting. I'm talking about the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P, which are as different in style as pickles and porcupines. No, I'm not talking about you and your first significant other (well, maybe that, too - I'll let you decide who held which role). One is warm and modest, the other slick and polished. The question to consider is whether you prefer or can at least tolerate a larger device - and if it'll be worth the positives you'll get in return - or whether compact and comfy is a top priority for you. I've never been much of a plus-sized phone guy myself, and I've found I've gotten used to its size pretty quickly. (She liked the 5X so much, in fact, that we've already ordered one for her.)īut it's all relative: The 6P is close in size to the Galaxy Note 5 and really not that bad as far as plus-sized phones go. The 5X is larger than that device, but she's found it to be quite comfy - whereas she found the 6P to be way too unwieldy for her preferences. My wife, for instance, is coming from the original 2013 Moto X. If you tend to prefer more compact and ergonomic smartphones, the 5X is probably going to be more your speed. The size is right, Nexus edition: 6P (at left) and 5X (at right) The 5X is without a doubt more comfortable to carry, hold, and use (especially one-handedly), but the 6P is reasonably manageable as far as plus-sized phones go.
NEXUS 5 INCOMING CALL SCREEN ANDROID
In the simplest possible terms, the Nexus 5X is small - at least, compared to most current Android flagships - and the Nexus 6P is rather large. This is why it is recommended you don't use them.I mentioned this in my first impressions as the very first thing I noticed about the Nexus 5X and 6P - and there's a reason: It's without a doubt the biggest (both figuratively and literally) and most immediately significant difference between the two phones.
