Anyone have it? Any experience. I am currently using Samsung Galaxy Alpha, so it will definitely be an upgrade. I keep reading about the poor build and the cheap plastic but I am more intrigued about running the full unlocked version of Google.

Is it worth it? $450 CDN. Better than paying $1000 for iPhone.

I'm a Nexus fan but I think the 5X isnt great value for money. Its decent value though. I'm convinced you're better off with a OnePlus 2 which is pretty close to stock but that's just me.

not really interested in the big screen. The 5" screen is just right for me. Any other devices that would be better?

I had the previous version. Despite the cheap build the phone held up well. Battery life left a lot to be desired. The 5X still has a weak battery but the new version of the OS has greatly optimized battery usage for Android and I even noticed an increase in usage before drain

On a nexus 6 now used. Very big phone but I don't mind it. Will prob use until the 6P price drop.

6p is a good price point for the quality and what it delivers
