Nice, but not worth it
Nice phones (especially the 6P) - although its just a bit too big for me.
The 5X would be a great phone were it not for some inexplicable shortcomings:
1) No QI charging
2) 16Gb/32 Gb (not expandable) storage options - come on its late 2015! good reception is not universal + data plans are not unlimited (mostly), so dont give me that everything in the cloud nonsense
3) 2Gb RAM. Most higher end phones come with at least 3GB now. I know it runs fine now with 2GB, but what about in 2 years time (afterall one of the main draws of a nexus is the long update window)
My 3 year old Nexus 4 has the same 16Gb ROM/2Gb RAM as the base 2015 5X (+ wireless charging) Doesn't seem a worthy upgrade to me!
Price: - 5X 32Gb (only one I'd consider) is £350 from some retailers.
In the same price range:
A new 32GB galaxy S6 can be had for around the same money. (And if you want to spend more you can get a bigger capacity one too)
A 32GB LG G4 can be had for around £300 new. That has expandable storage.
Both of those phones have better specs (and wireless charging - although with the G4 you need a replacement case) Decided the much better hardware in the G4 was a worthy tradeoff for having to wait slightly longer for software updates.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
