Just looks like grey to me

Is it me or are his hands really small? The 5X and old 5 he brings up look massive!

I thought that too. When I was on iPhone, I loathed that it did not have an Ext SD slot for storage expansion. Now, on Google, I have 16GB int, and 64GB ext, and I hate all the problems the ext card causes with my camera etc. I'll probably compromise on my next phone and have 32GB int only, and rely on 4G for everything else. TBH, I have ~90GB music on my PC, of which about 30GB is on my phone. I find that I almost never use it now, and instead just stream using spotify which works perfectly fine on Three's 3G.

Question though... do Nexus devices support OTG, or was that a Samsung thing?

I have an OTG cable for my N5 which works beautifully.

Don't buy the pale green one then? Buy a black or a white one? They don't only come in peppermint green.
Saying that, I don't know if I should go for a 5 or 6 now. Especially with the N5 issues I've had.

So that video is a mock up basically. It has no motherboard, they didnt know what port it was using?

My N5 is the "Red" one (read day glow orange!), my work phone is blue, my tablet has a bright green case, and my car has day glow yellow wing mirrors. I'm not the kind of guy who buys black or white phones, but there isn't a decent colour option for the 5X or 6P

Wow! You wouldn't be able to hide very much from anyone!

Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 CPU, 2GB of RAM and a 12.3MP rear camera with laser-assisted autofocus, dual flash and capable of shooting 4K video. It will ship with the latest version of Android, Marshmallow 6.0 and includes Google's new Sensor Hub chip inside that keeps notifications and fitness stats up-to-date at all times without drawing a ton of power. It also has the new USB Type-C port for fast charging and syncing, while the fingerprint sensor on the back can instantly and securely provide access to the phone with Nexus Imprint. There's a 2,700mAh battery inside, and it's going to be available in both 16GB and 32GB versions with colors including black, white and ice blue.

Odd that the coverage on the 5X was limited to "yup, theres a phone", compared to the 6P. :confused:

Unicorn · 29 Sep 2015 at 17:34

Limited coverage for the 5. Seems they couldn't be bothered

Pigeon_Killer · 29 Sep 2015 at 17:35

The 6P is their premium device this year so understandable they would give it the most coverage.

True, but SOME coverage on the 5X would be nice.

Thats nice and all.

But the 5X was treated like the shunned step child.

Guesses on UK pricing?

All they could've said is smaller screen, slower CPU, less RAM etc.

I'm more interested in the 5X but the information we're most interested in will come after the presentation.

We already know the specs, but the camera features, the other "niceties" that were demo'd on the 6P would be good to know if they work too.

That sort of stuff is better coming from independent reviewers. I'm not as interested in what it can (we already know that to a point) but how well it does it.
