I have been looking at both these phones and I am not sure which one better suits me. I like a good camera, Don't really use NFC. Other than that I think both phones look amazing. I am really one edge in this decision. I hope there are some little known deal breakers that only the owner of each would know. 

 

Also both phones will work with my carrier.

Nexus 5x because you can actually buy it without the stupid invite system.

You are on a need to know basis, and you don't need to know.

1+2
 
Better bang for the buck, more RAM, 'better' SoC, bigger screen, cheap 64 GB option, camera with OIS, bigger battery and some aluminium in the construction which adds to the premium feel.

EDIT: and here's a great article why the 5X is in fact worse than the original Nexus 5

Since I’ve been using the phone exclusively, and trying to figure out each of its nooks and crannies, I’ve noticed that the 5X is not as brilliant a package as the Nexus 5 was, and that I find myself waiting for tasks that should require no waiting. As I alluded to before, performance is not what I expected. The 808 and the storage chosen are likely not fit for encryption, and it makes no sense that a processor more powerful than the Snapdragon 800 of the Nexus 5 delivers (perceivably) slower or inconsistent performance in common operations.

And here's another review saying the exact same thing: http://www.anandtech.com/show/9742/the-google-nexus-5x-review

Why is SpongeBob the main character when Patrick is the star?
