Nexus 5X (codenamed bullhead) is an Android smartphone manufactured by LG Electronics, co-developed with and marketed by Google Inc. as part of its Nexus line of flagship devices. Unveiled on September 29, 2015, it is a successor to the Nexus 5. Nexus 5X along with Nexus 6P serve as launch devices for Android 6.0 Marshmallow, which introduces a refreshed interface, performance improvements, increased Google Now integration, and other new features.[3]
Specifications
Hardware
The device has a fingerprint sensor on the back called 'Nexus Imprint' which can be used by third party apps.[4] It is compatible with Project Fi, Google's own mobile network.[5]
In order to save power, Google has introduced what it calls an 'Android Sensor Hub'. It is a low-power secondary processor and its purpose is to monitor the device's movement by connecting directly to the accelerometer, gyroscope, fingerprint reader, and camera's sensors. This chip runs activity-recognition algorithms that allows it to interpret activities and gestures independently of the main processor. The main CPU needs to only be engaged when something happens that requires more attention. The Sensor Hub recognizes when the device has been picked up and will automatically display notifications in a low-power white-on-black text until the screen has been properly activated. Additionally, the Sensor Hub stack also supports hardware sensor batching, a feature introduced in KitKat that permits sensors for a short period of time to delay handing off non-critical data to the operating system – as opposed to sending a constant stream of data to the CPU that results in the use of more power. Sensor batching has been used in step counters and therefore does not require the main processor to constantly remain awake as each step is measured.[6][7]
Google Nexus 5X houses a 12.3 megapixel (1.55 μm pixels) f/2.0 aperture rear camera which is assisted by laser autofocus and dual LED flash. It can record 4K UHD videos at 30 fps and slow motion videos at 120 fps. It also has a 5 megapixel front camera.[8][9]
iFixit gave Nexus 5X a good repairability score. The only issues are the lack of removable battery and a display fused with the front glass[10]
Software
The phone arrives running Android OS version 6.0 "Marshmallow". Marshmallow now includes "Now On Tap", "Doze" battery saving feature, editing app permissions, and now support for Google "Imprint" finger print sensor.[11] After being on Marshmallow, a new Android 6.0.1 update has been rolled out in April 2016 and it is expected to reach to all consumers by this month itself around the world. Most importantly, new security patch - March 2016 is packed with this update with few stability and bugs fixed. [12]
Design
Color choices include Carbon, Quartz, and Ice. The body is a hard polymer plastic with the proximity sensor, light sensor, voice speaker on top of display and audio speaker below display, RGB LED notification light under audio speaker, and front facing camera on front of device. The back of the device includes a 12.3 megapixel camera, Google "Imprint" finger print sensor, dual tone flash, and LGE's laser auto focus.[13] One side of the device contains the nano SIM slot and the other includes the power button, and volume buttons. Microphones are on top and bottom of device.[14]
Problems
Some Nexus 5Xs have yellow-tinted screens, which Google will replace.[15]
The display has touch-sensitivity problems when the charger is connected.[16]
