I purchased the 5X from a local store as I had issues with flipkart previously.
so here's my experience.
I had been using a Galaxy S6 before 5x.
1) The phone is very light. Yet the build feels solid and does not feel cheap.
2) The looks are plain and generic but that is what I prefer.
3) The display is really good, sharp and not overly saturated. Really easy on the eyes. The brightness can be pushed to down to pleasant tones at night. It is also very bright and readable in the sunlight.
4) The camera is pretty good. Not better than the S6 camera but it is really close in terms of the quality.
5) No issues with the Snapdragon 808, it works very well. Does not heat up even on heavy use. I have not noticed any throttling or lags.
6) The battery life is great. I get around 4 hours SOT. I am yet to install a custom kernel and a rom to enhance the battery life. On stock it lasts me a day easily. Also, the Doze feature is amazing. I just lost 1% battery overnight.
7) The charging is really fast upto 60% and then it slows a bit. Overall it takes 1.5 hrs to charge.
8) The cable you get is c type at both ends so you will need another a to c type cable for data transfer.
9) You will need a compatible adapter for attaching OTG pendrives.
10) The speaker is really good. The earpiece infact is better and crispier than the S6. The speaker is located at the bottom grill and is loud enough for media and gaming.
11) Fingerprint experience is beautiful, the location is so natural and easy. It is even faster than the one on S6.
12) There is a notification LED inside the speaker grill, you can customize the settings with an app to show whatever color you may want.
If you are a pure android maniac and want to be the first in line for updates and are a nexus fanboy or a developer then this is the device for you. Get the 32 GB version for more storage, on 16 gb ones you only get 10-11 GB. Overall its a 5 starer for me
