Nexus 6p vs 5x

[TheGosuStandard]

Looking for a general consensus regarding these two phones to help him determine which he should choose, knowing the forums I thought I can get some insight into the pros and cons of both.

6p if you want bigger screen

5x if you want smaller screen.

 

 

6p has a little more power/battery to drive the bigger screen.

 

Other than that they are pretty much the same.

Thanks, pretty much what I was thinking.  I probably should of asked him in more detail what he was looking for

these aren't in anyone's hand, so you can't exactly have a good review, being that the 5X will be one of the few phones to use the 808 and have a 1080p screen, meaning that the subpar GPU (Adreno 418) won't be underwhelming. So we'll just have to see, but I'd personally just go with the 5X, it seems to just be a good phone all around, and the 6P's biggest benifit over the 5X is simply just the metal construction.

6p is Samsung amoled while 5x is LG IPS,

 

5x is more plasticy without EIS, while 6p supports it.

 

6p is metal with up to 128gb and while 5x is 32

But the OP may have Linus-sized hands

OR he might not like big phones

I have the OPO, not sure how large my friends hands are.

Ask him about how he uses his phone. I, for example, use my iPhone 5s one handed the majority of the time. Its form factor suits how I use it. If he uses his phone two handed most of the time then he would probably like the 6P. It also depends upon what you use your phone for (just texting/social media? youtube/netflix?) and whether or not you have a tablet.

The 6P is also going to be a fair bit quicker having 4 big cores verses the 5X 2 Big cores and they both share the 4 smaller cores. I think a lot of peoples main complaint is the 5X only has 2GB of RAM and that could be a problem earlier than the CPU or GPU performance is going to be.
