I got my N5x yesterday.
Anyone else feel a bit underwhelmed with it coming from a Nexus 5 ???
My niggles are -
Vibration : It's the worse ever vibration I've felt, it's more noise than feedback.
Speaker : It's very tinny & low volume, the worst thing about it is the distortion even when at low volumes. The ringtones distort to the point of an uncomfortable hearing, it's a lacklustre attempt at a speaker.
Voice speaker : Again ! No meat to the tone, you can hear the recipient OK but it's just not as good as the N5 or other phones I've used.
Chrome lag : Some forums seem to be like a rubber band, I know this is down to some of the ad's & pictures loading up but my old N5 did this smoothly (before anyone asked I've got all the updates Inc the March one that fixes the lag)
Camera hump : The large hump from the back is annoying, it's going to get bashed as marked. I'm a phone user that like a mobile without cases, the reviews & photos I seen didn't match the mountain on the back, it's like a massive annoying white head on a face that you keep touching. Other phones I don't have this hump, the old N5 had a metal ring around it that was protruding but not as bad as this !
Headphone port : My finger(s) keeps catching the egde of the port, it's not bad but enough for me constantly adjust my holding style.
Grills : I've only had it for a day & it's not been in my pocket yet but it's already getting bits in the top & bottom grills.
There are parts of the phone I do like-
Screen (even the warmth of stock).
Size over the N5, I don't find myself looking over my glasses like an old person.
The feel of the plastic.
Finger print reader.
Camera.
Button placements (I may have issues later with car mounts)
5 app placements on the home screen (didn't have this on my N5)
Not sure if I'm going to send it back yet, will give it after the Easter break !
My only option really is the Nexus 6p...
