Hitting the sweet spot
Capturing the soul of the Nexus family, the 5X offers top-line performance in a compact, lightweight device that's ready to go anywhere, anytime. Beneath the 5.2-inch display is a hexa-core Snapdragon 808 processor for world-class speed at an affordable price.
A powerful camera that catches more light
The best all-around camera we've ever put into a Nexus shines in low-light conditions. Its larger 1.55μm pixels capture more light even in the dimmest conditions to produce stunning details and sharp images. With a faster Google Camera app, you'll never miss a moment, and with the smart Google Photos app, your memories are easy to relive and always at your fingertips.
1.55μm
Pixel Size
Capturing light is sort of like catching rain in a bucket; the bigger the bucket, the more rain you're going to catch. For a camera, those "buckets" are the pixel size. And the Nexus camera has big buckets! 1.55μm-sized pixels are among the largest of any smartphone camera, on Android or otherwise.
f2.0
Aperture
The Nexus camera's lens with f/2.0 aperture lets more light in and captures sharp images in stunning detail.
4K
Video
Capture every detail with Ultra HD in the palm of your hand: Shoot your videos at 4K resolution for a crisp, high-definition look.
All your photos, organized and easy to find
Google Photos is a new way to store, search, and share all your photos and videos. Store an unlimited amount of photos and videos at high quality for free, and access them anywhere. Automatically organized and searchable by the people, places, and things in them, your memories are always easy to find and share.
Simplified security: Nexus Imprint
Your Nexus is quicker and more secure with a fingerprint sensor. Placed on the back of your device to complement the way you naturally hold it, Nexus Imprint will turn on your screen with one touch, unlock your apps quickly and easily, and let you breeze through checkout lines with Android Pay. And, by incorporating measurements each time you use it, Nexus Imprint gets smarter with every touch.
The new standard: USB Type-C™
The USB Type-C charger is reversible, which means no more guessing which way is up. And it's fast—get almost four hours of use after only ten minutes of charging.1
Always new. Now running Marshmallow.
