A few night shots. It was very dark in some of these shots with only atmospheric lighting. Have to say am very impressed.

Got my OnePlus USB A -> USB C cables today (https://oneplus.net/uk/type-c-cable). Really nice - as sexy as in real life as they look and have a nice feel. I thought the USB-A end might be a little bit wobbly when in a socket as it does away with the casing but it's not, it's solid.

Agree with this, mine arrived Friday and the quality is excellent!

Can anyone recommend some cases and screen protectors please? Just waiting for mine to be delivered now.
Spigen cases I have found to be one of the best for fitment and durability.

Anyone else finding the phone a bit laggy sometimes? I mean most of the time it is fine, but then it can become unusable for a short period. I think it may be to do with Facebook.

The Nexus 5X really is quite a large device. It's as large as the LG G4!
I do like it I just don't know if I'll find it too big - time will tell...

I read that if you turn off animations in the developer menu it helps. Not too sure how true that is as I have not used mine yet.

Actually I've noticed it seems to be when I've been using Facebook, the phone can become really slow and unresponsive afterwards.

Is it just me thats getting such poor battery life?
With no phone calls, or streaming etc. Just using the phone for browsing on 4g & few whatsapp messages. Over an 8 hour period I am draining the battery completely with around 2 hours screen on time.
Doze seems to be functioning fine, as if I leave the phone over night it only drops a couple of percent.
Faulty phone? Kind of wishing I'd ordered via the play store now not with cpw.

Well I've been in Dubai for a short week and have been using my phone in 35C+ heat taking lots of pictures daily and it has been doing okay. Not mind blowing but okay. 7-8am till 6pm with lots of pics. Not much data as I am roaming but over 3 hrs screen time too. It's not amazing but noticibly better than the Nexus 5.
I don't really get the Android Central review: http://www.androidcentral.com/review-lg-nexus-5x
He basically says - the 5X is great, and he prefers it over the 6P. Then he says that actually it's mediocre, with few redeeming features, and don't buy it. Weird.

Ordered two of these yesterday.
I'll say what the quality is like when they turn up.

Wouldn't normally bother with braided, but it'll make things simpler when grabbing a cable quickly as I leave the house.
