Google and LG tried to make this phone lighter and elegant. Instead of increasing the screen size, they made this smartphone lighter and easy to use. Nexus 5X only weighs 136g and has a thickness of 7.9 mm only.

Nexus 5X is pretty much simpler like the previous version. But still there a lot of new amazing design aspects. For example, the placement of the camera is really ideal and it is sticking out of the back a little bit. People at first wonder about the circle just below the camera. That circle is the new fingerprint scanner.

One more thing, only Nano SIM can be operated inside this phone unlike Micro SIM. So if you are thinking about buying this phone, you may need new SIM.
