It's for the sexy factor. It pleases my eyes when I take out & look at my phone and when I handle it. Like my preference for curvy women over chopstick-like figures. ???? I don't mind paying a price premium. Sent from my SM-G925P using Tapatalk

If the S7E lives up to the rumour mill & has a bigger battery than my S6E, I'm so getting it launch day. Sent from my SM-G925P using Tapatalk

For my Android Pay transaction at McDonald's, I received a $20 Best Buy e-giftcard this morning. It just popped up without any notifications or emails. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

It was added for me automatically, as well as my other 2 cards - Discover and a school's union debit card. I think it was b/c I used to use Chase in the old Google Wallet app and I have a history of purchases. That's why it's still showing the thirdparty Bancorp agreement page during setup.

My experience was quite smooth. I opened the app, hit the + sign, and my 3 cards saved over from Wallet were already there. I chose Chase, agreed to the Bancorp agreement, and the card got added after a few seconds of verification. Went to McDonald's, tapped and paid. Has anyone received any word yet from Google?

You should try Samsung Pay, it's really cool & easy to use. There are also several Samsung Pay promotions going around right now. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

How are you liking it so far? Sent from my SM-G925P using Tapatalk

That seems to be true so far. On ST AT&T, the highest DL speed I got was around 40 mbps. On Verizon, the highest DL I've seen is 6 mbps. Not surprised knowing it's Verizon, the greediest & least generous of all USA carriers. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I started using the N5X on Verizon today through Straight Talk and everything's been smooth so far. It's the same $45 for unlimited talk and text with 5GB of high-speed 4G data that I was using with an AT&T SIM. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I get lag & stuttering once in a while. No root, OEM ROM. I get lags while using Chrome, YouTube, and sometimes when switching between apps and opening apps. Kinda surprised it has not been much better than my old N5. My SOT ranges between 3.5 to 4.5 hrs. Sent from my SM-G925P using Tapatalk

It does work well but not if your phone is in your pocket and you're constantly moving around, which I think it's dumb. On my 5X, I lose about 3% per hr with the phone in my pocket. Data, WiFi, location, and GPS on. Sent from my SM-G925P using Tapatalk

Isn't that for the international model? Sprint might send it later in Feb or March, if the past is any indication. Sooner the better. Sent from my SM-G925P using Tapatalk

t Try replacing Facebook with Tinfoil. Should make a battery difference. Sent from my SM-G925P using Tapatalk

Did you do a speed test? Sent from my SM-G925P using Tapatalk

Yes, Sprint has been awesome lately. I'm glad I stuck around. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

There is CA in Orange at Tustin & Katella in the CVS plaza. I pulled 87.12 Mbps there. Sent from my SM-G925P using Tapatalk

Thx to the 1st post, I was able to smoothly order 2 SIM cards with free 2-day shipping. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

After 5.1.1 OI1, my SOT got worse. It went from about 4 & 1/2 hrs to 3 & 1/2 hrs. I'm hoping 6.0 Marshmallow will bring back the battery life. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

My battery life has been pretty good. Phone's been on for 17 hrs, WiFi & LTE on, GPS on, auto brightness, and I'm at 4 hrs & 38 mins SOT with 10% left. Pretty impressed so far. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I second how good the screen brightness is outside under the sun. Didn't expect much since the N5 screen was pretty bad under the screen. Pleasantly surprised. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

That's definitely not normal as my N5X has no rattling noise when shaken. Hope the device replacement is smooth and easy for you. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Same here. Last night, after connecting the charger to the phone, I semi-freaked out BC the phone wouldn't charge. The charging issue was resolved by inserting the end that used to be connected to the charger into the phone. The charging port is making me feel wary. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Sorry, Photobucket was being glitchy. I posted them up again.

I'll share some pictures I took today after first opening up the package. Just like some reviews have pointed out, the fingerprint unlocking is REALLY fast. Can't even see the lockscreen. I'm still getting used to the fingerprint position on the back. I never liked it on the LG G series. I'm sure I'll get used to it. The phone feels almost exactly the same as the white Nexus 5 from 2013. Slightly matte feeling and a bit slippery. The mint Ringke case is also slippery so I've swapped it out already for the Ringle Smoke Black Clear Fusion case. Even the button presses of the Power and Vol buttons are eerily similar to the old N5. It doesn't feel as solid as clicking on metal buttons like on the S6 Edge. It would've been nice if Google instead introduced a Nexus 5P instead and charged a bit more. On the bright side, I have a feeling it will be super easy to swap out the battery in the future as it was on the old N5. There have already been two updates on the phone. Right now, I'm on the latest MDB08I version. I'm still playing around with it but so far it's good. Fast, smooth, and easy to use. I've already unlocked the bootloader and may flash TWRP when good custom ROMs come out. In the meanwhile, it'll be just Novalauncher and Root.

I got my 32gb Quartz 5X this morning at 11:45am. Feels very similar to the old N5 - the back texture, the feel of the power and vol buttons, etc. The camera is a bit disappointing though - slow to launch and slow shutter speed. I'm comparing to my S6 Edge. Still, love having a Nexus. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
