- hn9780470248775 11y agohttps://store.google.com/product/nexus_5x https://store.google.com/product/nexus_5x is a bit smaller.
- dantillberg 11y agoSure, the 5X is smaller, but at 5.8 inches (147mm) it's still bigger than my nexus 5, which clocks in at an already-hefty 5.4 inches (138mm).
- barrkel 11y agoThe 5X is 5.2 inches.
- dantillberg 11y agoThe display on the 5X is 5.2 inches. The physical dimensions of the phone are a bit larger.
- Jtsummers 11y agoThe 5X has a 5.2" diagonal display and a 6.4" diagonal for the device with bezel and all. It's dimensions (in inches) are 2.9"x5.8".
- bryanlarsen 11y agoIt's smaller than the device it's replacing.
- rurounijones 11y agoNexus 5 : 137.9 x 69.2 x 8.6 mm ( Front face 9,542.68 sq mm ) Nexus 5X: 147.0 x 72.6 x 7.9 mm ( Front face 10,672.2 sq mm) The front face will be larger. The only way it is smaller is the reduction in thickness. [EDIT] My mistake, thought you were talking about the Nexus 5
- cheeze 11y agoIt's almost like a phone with a 6 inch screen is going to be big!
- kseistrup 11y agoI'm not gonna buy a phone that is bigger than my current phone (a Nexus 5), so no Nexus 6 for me.
- rsync 11y agoExactly. In 2015, even the small phones are huge. I cannot believe there is not a (huge) market for small, portable phones that you could put in your pocket without altering the way you sit.
- dpark 11y agoMaybe stop sitting on your phone? I've got a nexus 6 in my front pocket and it doesn't affect the way I sit. There isn't a huge market for small portable phones because most people shelling out $500+ for a smart phone want to actually use it as a smart phone. They play games, watch shows and movies, read full novels, and browse the web. These are all experiences that are enhanced by having a larger screen. My wife upgraded to the iPhone 6s from her old phone (5s maybe?) and one of the first things she said about it was that the screen was small, despite it being considerably larger than her old phone. I cannot understand how the "I want a small phone" crowd don't realize that they are in the minority.
- Steko 11y agoI think there's a big market for a mini-tablet and bluetooth headset combo that can replace the phone completely. You get the huge screen, the dumb pipe tablet 4G contract, VOIP calling, can make most calls without taking the slab out via voice control.
- qdog 11y agoMaybe we are all fatties that can't fit a big phone in our pocket. Or, don't use the phone that much but like access to a decent browser and apps when we do need them. I have a 4, but actually miss my ancient G2 with an actual keyboard. Damn you kids and your touch screens, you ruined everything!
- ivanb 11y agoIf you miss hardware keyboard and you are not too dependent on Google services I suggest you to take a look at BlackBerry Passport. I have one. It is fine.
