S the Android One program fizzled out, it became clear that it can’t carry the load of a mid-range Nexus. So the Nexus 5 was reborn as the 5X to give users first-party software experience and Google design ideology at a reasonable price, while the 6P carries on the premium legacy of Moto’s Nexus 6.
This is LG’s third Nexus(4, 5 and now 5X). The design has shifted from the LG Nexus 4 and 5 exterior to something that could have come out of Motorola’s sketchbooks. Or rather this is a case of Google’s design persisting between makers. The fact that the Nexus 5X doesn’t feel like it belongs in the LG lineup is a clear sign that the 5X is more Google than LG.
The focus has been placed on enhanced security(fingerprint sensor on the back, the Nexus Imprint) that enables mobile payments(Android Pay) and a push towards a universal connector(USB Type-C). The camera was primed for low-light shooting and the more you shoot, the more you can upload to Google Photos(well, you’re not going to store them on a microSD card).
