The metal body apparently precludes it.
Isn't the 5x plastic?
Ah, you're right. I thought that it was metal from earlier leaks, but it looks like it's polycarbonate.

Re: Google Nexus 5x and 6P
#52Minor gripe: Who thought it was a good idea to make a charger with a permanent cable attached? https://store.google.com/product/usb_c_charger Also, does anyone have full specs? I don't see it anywhere.
That's a pretty major gripe in my book. The beauty of the USB charger is that they continue to be useful when the standard changes to the next connector type. My USB chargers dutifully charge my regular (battery), mini (camera), and micro (phone) devices without protest.
Re: Google Nexus 5x and 6P
#53The 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.
They've changed the link to go to google dot com slash nexus.
I don't want to whine but if the guys are reading can you please swap out to https if possible? https://www.google.com/nexus/
Re: Google Nexus 5x and 6P
#54Google 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.
Though hard to say if this is true, it seemed their argument during the presentation was that the bigger sensor/pixels in both devices make up for the lack of OIS, and they specifically compared performance against the Nexus 6.

#55I think I'll hold out for my 1 plus 2 invite.
I'm waiting too... but I'm getting rather antsy.
A lot of people are saying that the oneplus one has unreliably hardware and buggy software. Reliability is much more important to me than saving a few bucks. I was planning on getting the Note 5 when the 64gb variant is available in Canada, but now I'm considering the 6P.

The 1.55 micrometer pixel sensors are interesting. If they actually do what they're supposed to, then exposure times should be decreased which would theoretically reduce the usefulness of OIS. I guess we'll see once the reviews start coming in.

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 :)

Awesome! Thanks for the link
Re: Google Nexus 5x and 6P
#58Successor to best Nexus phone ever. The LG Nexus 5.
I still have that phone and I can't imagine upgrading. Anything 5" and up doesn't fit well in my hand, and I'm a relatively big guy. The specs are more than enough for my needs, phone, work, messaging, music.
Re: Google Nexus 5x and 6P
#59Is there really no qi wireless charging?
Nope. Although, you can get 4 hours of use from a 10 minute charge over USB-C, so perhaps plopping it down on a pad for 8 hours isn't as convenient an alternative as it used to be.
Re: Google Nexus 5x and 6P
#60The US prices are reasonable, but the UK prices are just horrendous. £500 for the 6P brings it out of the range of "I'm due an upgrade anyway" into luxury territory.
I think I'll stick with my Nexus 5.
