The first time I picked up the Nexus 5X, I was disappointed. I had been one of the many Nexus 5 users who back in 2013 was telling anyone who would listen that this was the best smartphone in the world, and I had been waiting with bated breath for the replacement to once again offer a combination of minimalist yet elegant design and a pure Android experience at a price I could afford. Built by LG for Google, the Nexus 5X also promised an upgraded camera, addressing the single biggest drawback of the original model.
Then I actually got one, and lived with it a while.
