Nexus 5X of Google is smaller and cheaper

Nexus 5X : Google return to smaller, cheaper phones successfully

While the Nexus 6 got much praise when it debuted last year, it also got its fair share of flack. For many, the Nexus 6 was the size of a tiny giant, with its 5.96-inch display and 10.1mm-thick profile that dwarfed smaller hands. Additionally, it started at $649, whereas the previous-ge cost just $349. Why? Because it was just too big for the consumers. Not wanting to disappoint its customers, Google den Nexus 5cided to release two handsets instead of one this year: the pricier 5.7-inch Nexus 6P (made by Huawei and starting at $499 for 32GB) for those who do indeed want a larger phone, and the cheaper 5.2-inch 5X (made by LG and starting at $379 for 16GB) for those who wanted a sequel to the original 5. While it may certainly be the smaller and lower-end device of the pair, I found that the 5X is far better than I anticipated, which deliver plenty of value for the money.
