Since its introduction, Google's Nexus-branded smartphone has gained significant following, which further grew as the build and design improved over the years. And when the Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X were rolled out in late 2015, Google only proved that its signature smartphone is ready to take on Android biggies.

Built by Huawei, the Nexus 6P with premium written all over it, for instance, easily impressed experts and Android fans alike and the device ended up being labelled as among the best smartphones to come out last year. And the Nexus 5X is right in the same league even as the device is slightly out-specced by its 6P sibling and other Android flagships.

In fact, there are three solid reasons the LG-made Nexus 5X is far better than most of its rivals :

Impressive specs

Packaged as a mid-range handset, the Nexus 5X never disappoints with the hardware cooked up by Google and LG. The main engine is a six-core Snapdragon chip that draws able support from 2GB of RAM, which assures users of speedy, snappy and stable mobile computing experience. The battery life is beyond decent thanks to a power pack with rating of 2700mAh.

The display boasts of a 5.2-inch screen profile that renders clips and videos in 1080p resolution, which for many means flagship standard. And the camera combo is most definitely of flagship status - 12.3-megapixel on rear and the selfie-delight 5MP on front.

Pure Android

Android fans consider the Nexus brand as the sexiest smartphone option out there due to one thing - it runs on vanilla Android. That means no bloat wares plus the assurance that firmware update arrivals will happen with near clockwork precision.

The Nexus 5X unboxes with Android 6.0 Marshmallow and buyers not only get the assurance that patches will be provided on time but also software upgrades will chewed in the moment they become available.

Tempting sticker price

But really what makes the Nexus 5X totally irresistible is the price tag. The device's introductory selling price of $379 over the Play Store is tempting enough considering the killer package that buyers will get but Google has just decided to make things easier for would-be buyers.

The Google Nexus 5X now sells for only $349 with shoppers having the choice of picking between the Play Store and Amazon to snag up the glorious native Android device.
