16gb and 32gb? Why is storage always so low?

Because most people don't need that much, especially with the new auto-delete of photos that have been copied to the cloud in Google Photo, love this feature.

Source on that?

The Nexus 6P appears to be up now too: https://store.google.com/product/nexus_6p

The Google Store doesn't do a great job of indicating which kind of customer would prefer one of them over the other, surprisingly.

Google did a good job of avoiding the lack of OIS on both the 5X and 6P. I don't mind not having wireless charging capability, but OIS has proven to be a helpful feature when taking photos in less than ideal situations. I think, if size isn't an issue, the Nexus 6 is still a solid option at the reduced price point.

Where can I turn on this feature?

The metal body apparently precludes it.

Does this work with Project Fi?

Both 5X and 6P work with Project Fi.

I just checked the fi website and they don't mention it, and I see it nowhere mentioned on the device's pages either..

Where can I see this confirmed? Any references you can point me to? Thanks for you help :)

And unsurprisingly, it's half a foot tall (159mm, or 6.2 inches). My hands continue to cry. Is it what the future holds, that we should eventually hold mainframes up to our heads?
