Over to you
We have discussed detailed features of Nexus 5x. Its price in India is tagged at Rs. 31,990 which is certainly a huge amount for an average Indian buyer. The phone has some good points like the battery, latest Android version but on the other hand but it has very low RAM (compared to nowadays android phones), the processor might have heating issues and an average rear camera. I wouldn’t go for this phone if I had so much with me. I’d go for something better in this range or perhaps cheaper. So what have you thought, let us know in the comments below.
