5x
The All-round
Champ Is
Back
Nexus 5X (code-named bullhead) is an Android smartphone manufactured by LG Electronics, co-developed with and marketed by Google Inc. as part of its Nexus line of flagship devices. Unveiled on September 29, 2015, it is a successor to the Nexus 5. Nexus 5X along with Nexus 6P serve as launch devices for Android 6.0 Marshmallow, which introduces a refreshed interface, performance improvements, increased Google Now integration, and other new features.
Hardware:
The device has a fingerprint sensor on the back called
'Nexus Imprint' which can be used by third party apps. It is compatible
with Project Fi, Google's own mobile network.
In order to save power, Google has introduced what it calls
an 'Android Sensor Hub'. It is a secondary low-power processor whose
purpose is to run activity-recognition algorithms by directly monitoring the
device's accelerometer, gyroscope, fingerprint reader, and camera
sensors, allowing the main CPU to remain inactive until something requires its
attention. The Sensor Hub recognizes when the device has been picked up and
will automatically display notifications in a low-power white-on-black text
until the screen has been properly activated. Additionally, the Sensor Hub
stack also supports hardware sensor batching, a feature introduced in KitKat that
permits sensors to delay for a short period of time the hand-off of non-critical
data to the operating system – as opposed to sending a constant stream of data
to the CPU, which results in the use of more power. Sensor batching has been
used in step counters to avoid requiring the main processor to constantly
remain awake for each step to be measured.
Google Nexus 5X houses a 12.3 megapixel (1.55 μm pixels) f/2.0
aperture rear camera which is assisted by laser auto-focus and dual LED flash.
It can record 4K UHD videos at 30 FPS and slow motion videos at
120 FPS. It also has a 5-megapixel front camera.
The Nexus 5X has been assessed by iFixIt as easy
to repair, the only issues being the lack of removable battery and a display
fused with the front glass.
Software
The phone includes Android OS version 6.0
"Marshmallow", which now includes "Now On Tap",
"Doze" battery saving feature, detailed control of app permissions,
and support for Google "Imprint" finger print sensor.
Design
Colour choices include Carbon, Quartz, and Ice. The body is
a hard polymer plastic with the proximity sensor, light sensor, voice speaker
on top of display and audio speaker below display, RGB LED notification light
under audio speaker, and front facing camera on front of device. The back of
the device includes a 12.3-megapixel camera, Google "Imprint" finger
print sensor, dual tone flash, and LGE's laser auto focus. One side of the
device contains the Nano SIM slot and the other includes the power button, and
volume buttons. Microphones are on top and bottom of device.
