Nexus 5X: New & Refurbished Prices in Canada

Nexus

The Nexus 5X marks Google's final Nexus effort before pivoting towards the Pixel. Overall, the Nexus 5X was the most powerful Nexus, and we'd recommend it to fans of the brand. However, it has long been outshined since its launch in 2015.

Nexus 5X: Full Specifications

All of the Nexus 5X's specs are far behind by today's standards. Its camera, resolution, storage and RAM all leave much to be desired. All in all, you should not buy this phone for the specs, but rather if you miss the feeling of a Nexus. The 5X still performs decently well, and it still fits great in the palm of your hand.

Pros

  • Size: The 5X's size is a huge plus. As smartphones have only gotten larger and larger, the 5X prioritizes an ergonomic feel that fits perfectly in one hand.
  • Fingerprint scanner: Another great trend that has been slowly disappearing. If you miss the late 2010s era of smartphones, the Nexus 5X offers all kind of great features that many companies no longer offer.

Cons

  • Storage: 16GB of internal storage is very small by today's standards, and doesn't feel like enough for the average user's apps and photos.
  • Specs: The 5X's main problem is that it is quite outdated. It still performs adequately, but not nearly as well as newer Android devices.
