Is it worth it to wait for the pixel or is the 5x a decent phone even now (or is it decent at all)?
I'm not a power user just want a decent pure android phone that I can use throughout the day for text/calls/internet.
>>56585147
It's very good and you can get it pretty cheap now.
If you don't want the latest and greatest, no point in waiting, go for it.
>>56585147
>Fingerprint on the back.
Bad design desu.
Worth waiting regardless anon.
Pixel might not be a shit and the N5X will drop in price even more.
>>56585228
>fingerprint at all
It's a gimmick, why would you use it in the first place?
>>56585228
>fingerprint sensor where your index sensor usually is placed
>bad design
pick one
annoying if the phone is on a desk or something though
>>56585228
>>56585306
op here. i've never had a phone with a fingerprint sensor and honestly think I would just turn it off (i assume you can do this).
>>56585306
>gimmick
No, it's way faster than a password.
>hurr the CIA can crack it
Who gives a shit, the average nigger can't.
>>56585329
>annoying if the phone is on a desk or something though
Exactly.
>>56585339
If you never lock your phone you don't need it. Otherwise it's comfy.
>>56585362
>password.
Why. How dumb do you have to be to keep any kind of sensitive data on a phone?
>>56585362
i use the super secure method of the 3x3 pattern drag, not really to secure the phone as much as it is just so that it doesn't unlock in my pocket or anything like that.

Post your phone content, then, let's see it.

>non-removable battery
Are you fucking retarded? Why would you literally pay more for less? Why not just get an LG G3 ($200), get better specs, and save money?

What are you hiding on your phone? It's a device for talking and shit posting, not storing your SSN
>>56585228
Sensor on the back is actually ideal, you don't even have to move your hand after unlocking it.
>>56585439
LG doesn't get Nexus software updates.
>>56585468
5x here. When I use my phone it'salways in my hand and my index finger usually gets to the back before my thumb gets to the side screen on/off button. I have the phone locked with my fingerprint just because it's far and away the most ergonomic way to wake the phone imo.
>>56585495
>LG doesn't get Nexus software updates.
But it does get updates. So you're saying you would sacrifice things like a micro SD slot, high res screen, removable battery, 3GB of RAM, just so you could get botnet updates? Why do you hate freedoms so much?
>>56585439
>low res screen
Its 1080p wtf are you on about?
OP, for 200(16g) or 300(32g, seen 32 for 240 before), it's a VERY decent phone. Photosphere and slomo are really fun too. Nosd is my only gripe.
>>56585544
>botnet updates
Uhh they're literally the official Google updates.
Nexus gets an update every single month, while other phones do not.
>>56585808
Yup.
Its the reason people that know anything about Android only buy Nexus.
2gb of ram are not enough and good luck in summer
Source: i have it
>>56585808
>>56585834
These updates come straight from google's asshole. You know the big evil anti-privacy corporation that wants to mine all of your data?
Why not just get an LG G3 and install CM on it if you want updates that badly? At least you won't get fucked up the ass by google.
>>56585889
CM is garbage and any non Nexus phone will have you resenting software updates that Nexus phones get.
>>56585410
Literally nothing there apart from a couple of custom ringtones, a few photos I snapped on bike rides and osmand with maps.
>>56585930
No names/numbers? No messages?
>>56585981
Nothing illegal in there and I think phone thieves would have better things to do than read my convos or harass people from my contact list.
>>56586037
>phone thieves
It's not just those, it's nosy people you hang out with/at your home.
>>56585927
Oh so you're a google shill? Thanks you using a trip there friendo. Filtered :^)

90 of my communication is work related and OH SHIT I sent a happy birthday text to my sister last week!
Are you having an affair with a tranny prostitute? Do you deal drugs on the side? Afraid your mom will find out you drank beer?
>>56585439

>bootloops
No thanks
Just get an iPhone
>>56586626
b-but what will i d-d-do with my headphones??
>>56585619
Does photosphere work with CM too?
>>56586903
>b-but what will i d-d-do with my headphones??
Plug them in via the FREE adapter that comes with every iPhone 7.
>>56588356
free until it breaks or catches fire
>>56586903
this is a 6s tho
>>56586626
Nah
>>56585147
5X owner here. Its definitely worth checking out.
It's solid for $250 32GB. It was definitely way overpriced at launch though.
Biggest gripe is genuinely shitty battery. I have to charge twice a day. Although I am on it a ton. When I go out and play Pokemon Go though it's usually the first one to die out of my group. They have Galaxy and iPhones. So I still say it's below average on the battery department.
If you're patient and money isn't an issue just wait for the Pixel. If you want to save cash and are not a power user just bite. It's solid phone.
>>56585619
That is a very shit Panorama stitch.
