Nexus 5X (codenamed Bullhead) is an Android smartphone manufactured by LG Electronics, co-developed with and marketed by Google Inc. as part of its Nexus line of flagship devices. Unveiled on September 29, 2015, it is a successor to the Nexus 5. Nexus 5X along with Nexus 6P will serve as launch devices for Android 6.0 "Marshmallow", which will introduce a refreshed interface, performance improvements, increased Google Now integration, and other new features.[3]

Specifications

Hardware

The device has a fingerprint sensor on the back called Nexus Imprint which can be used by third party apps.[4] It is compatible with Project Fi, Google's own mobile network.

In order to save power, Google has introduced what it calls an 'Android Sensor Hub'. It is a low-power secondary processor and its purpose is to monitor the device's movement by connecting directly to the accelerometer, gyroscope, fingerprint reader, and camera's sensors. This chip runs advanced activity-recognition algorithms that allows it to interpret activities and gestures independently of the main processor. The main CPU needs to only be engaged when something happens that requires more attention. The Sensor Hub recognizes when the device has been picked up and will automatically display notifications in a low-power white-on-black text until the screen has been properly activated. Additionally, the Sensor Hub stack also supports hardware sensor batching, a feature introduced in KitKat that permits sensors for a short period of time to delay handing off non-critical data to the operating system – as opposed to sending a constant stream of data to the CPU that results in the use of more power. Sensor batching has been used in step counters and therefore does not require the main processor to constantly remain awake as each step is measured.[5][6]

Google Nexus 5X houses a 12.3 Megapixel (1.55 μm pixels)F/2.0 aperture Rear Camera which is assisted by laser autofocus, dual LED flash and it can record 4K UHD videos at 30fps, and slow motion videos at 120fps, whereas on the front it has a 5 Megapixel camera.[7][8]

Software

The phone arrives running Android OS version 6.0 "Marshmallow". Marshmallow now includes "Now On Tap", "Doze" battery saving feature, editing app permissions, and now support for Google "Imprint" finger print sensor.[9]

Design

Color choices include Carbon, Quartz, and Ice. The body is a hard polymer plastic with the proximity sensor, light sensor, voice speaker on top of display and audio speaker below display, RGB LED notification light under audio speaker, and front facing camera on front of device. The back of the device includes a 12.3 megapix[10]el camera, Google "Imprint" finger print sensor, dual tone flash, and LGE's laser auto focus. One side of the device contains the nano SIM slot and the other includes the power button, and volume buttons. Microphones are on top and bottom of device.[11]
