The LG Nexus 5X is a heartfelt homage to 2013’s much beloved Nexus 5 smartphone, also made by LG. However, outstanding design isn’t exactly what the 2013 Nexus phone went down in history with.Continuing in the spirit of its venerable redecessor, the Nexus 5X comes with a 5.2-inch, 1080p resolution IPS LCD display whose pixel density measures an "it’s enough" 424 pixels per inch.Interestingly enough, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 SoC which powers the Nexus 5X has proven itself a viable choice for smartphone makers, following its debut in the LG G4.
Carrying a single nanoSIM slot, the Nexus 5X is also equipped with 2 gigabytes of LPDDR3 RAM, which doesn’t make for a substantial upgrade over the original Nexus 5, but should be enough for comfortable usage and multitasking.Speaking of memory, the Nexus 5X is available in 16GB and 32GB variants with non-expandable storage. Nope, there’s no microSD slot on this phone, neither a removable battery.Finally, the battery unit that powers this whole contraption is of 2700mAh capacity. It should be sufficient, considering the Snapdragon 808 SoC is pretty efficient.
