Hello everyone 

 

I currently have a Moto G 2nd generation (2014) and I have been looking for a new phone.

 

Narrowed it down to 2 choices: Nexus 5X or the Moto X style.

 

Both 32GB models and for the same price of 399€, but I am having trouble deciding which one to buy.

 

So if you guys can help me out it would be great, if you have any other phone in mind besides these 2 just say so.

 

I am not planning on spending much more than 399€ and close to stock Android is preferable.

Importing a phone from china isn't as hard as everyone likes to make out, have a look on mi.com/index.html (Chinease Site) and use chome since it has google transalte built in and see if anything catches you eye. The New Xiaomi Redmi 3 and Note 3 are extremely good for the price or have a look at OnePlus or Huawei.

Nexus 5X anytime. The Mi5 is good, but its not without its flaws. Video capture quality and sound can be awful, the OIS is one of the best around if not it at the moment and the "absolutely awesome model" which is the 128Gb Storage + 4Gb of ram one, is out of stock permanently, but then again that one is 529€.
