Honest question: why would I get a 5X over a Moto X Play which is cheaper or Moto X Style which is only £20 more (in the UK at least) and has better specs?
And it's working, I wouldn't be surprised if first-day 6P purchases outnumber 5X first-day purchases by a magnitude.
Why did Google bother with all of that work to fix SD storage in Android M[0] if they're still not going to put an SD card in their Nexus phones!?! I was holding out hope that I would finally have a reason to buy a Nexus phone with the 5X or 6P, but now that we have the final spec sheet, I think I'm going to just grab an HTC One M9 or something. The lack of expandable storage really kills it for me. [0] http://www.an…
They did the work for third parties to keep it an an option for the lower end market. The higher end market has shown it doesn't care about SD cards and, honestly, I think for good reason: their user experience has always been terrible. Internal storage is faster and more reliable so I think you're always going to see more and more phones, especially flagships, not offer expandable options.
Samsung sold a lot more phones when they used to have sd cards.

That's pretty niche though. Even in that scenario, you could always offload to external storage. It seems reasonable that their phones are expected to mostly behave as phones, and not as a large photo/video repository.
> That's pretty niche though. Not really. Do you ever travel? Have you ever been on a road trip? Have you ever been on a plane? Have you ever gone camping?
The issue comes up if you use your phone solely as a camera without an accompanying connection for long enough to fill up internal storage without some way to offload it.
It's a situation that won't come up ever for most users of the phone, and as Wifi and Data coverage increases will become even more obscure.

My phones seem to last 24-30 months; they just eventually take enough damage from being in my pocket and moved around all day every day that they die. And battery life goes to crap. I too was hoping for a nice nexus 5 upgrade.
Yow. Here's a perspective from someone who has only owned two iPhones: I purchased the first gen on release day (2007) and carried it my pocket every day without a case until the 5 came out in 2012. I still have it, it still works. I bought my iPhone 5 in 2013 and carry it my pocket every day without a case. It has some cosmetic damage. Not fanboy-ing; I think it's legitimately interesting that most smartphones are s…

I agree that it's not a great idea, but I assume it has something to do with the abnormally high current that it can provide.
This is probably right. They mention: "15W of power so you can charge your USB Type-C enabled phones and tablets quickly. Also works with large USB Type-C devices, like laptops .¹". And the footnote: "¹Wattage is optimized for smaller devices, like phones and tablets. Larger devices, like laptops, will take longer to charge. Delivers maximum charge speed to Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P. Charge time depends on USB Type-C dev…
Minor 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.

I haven't seen any official statement about nexus device update policy. Do you have any official reference ? p.s. People please stop claiming what you a fact. p.s. Being right about not getting update (n7 v1) dos not make your argument true.
> Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 7, Nexus 9, and Nexus 10 devices get the latest version of Android directly from Google. These devices will receive Android version updates for at least two years from when the device first became available on the Google Store. > Nexus devices will also receive updates for security issues considered Critical for at least the following periods: > * Three years from when the device fi…
p.s. For multiple times when somebody claimed that , their only references was AndroidPolice site , which I don't give shit about . But seems google quietly updated their policy. (which is unacceptable for me as power user)
