I get the wanting every bell and whistle but that just takes up more space and adds weight.

Let's see maybe they have something up their sleeve with the camera.. Other than saving on cost not sure why not include it.. At least on the Huawei version...

How much could it cost really? When you're buying in bulk the price plummets.

Good question.. But why else not include it.. I don't know it seems all these phones leave something out on purpose.. Lol

I wish Sammy would make another Nexus.

R&D, getting certs etc are probably more of the costs than the builds. I'm not sure why some of these things are left out. 3000Mah battery in 2015? Why so small on a 6' device?

This is really why android has to be so diverse as you are going to have people on different sides of the aisles. You will have some who refuse to buy a phone unless it can be rooted while others can care less. Some must have a large screen while others prefer to go small, some have to have the latest and greatest of specs while others just want something that does the basics well (calls, text, and surfing from time to time).

What I like about Samsung is they provide the best in specs year after year but what I hate about them is they lock it down and will not allow users to remove the features they hate.

Nexus phones are by far the best for getting the fastest updates and being able to manually update your software but is lacking in providing game changing hardware.

HTC seems to have given up.

LG seems to be a few key areas from Samsung but at least remains in the discussion.

Huawei is that company that has done enough to catch people's attention but it will be interesting to see what they do with it.

One Plus keep tripping over themselves. They go from being in the spotlight for doing some good things with the One Plus to being scrutinized (rightfully so) for never settling to live up to the expectations they set.

Motorola has really made a rebound from the grave after all those horrible line of blurred up and locked down droid phones. Motorola is one of those companies that you can call the communities champion as it will not grab the praise from average fans but is seen with high regards from enthusiasts.

Because today's bloggers and OEMs dictate that a phone has to be anorexic in size. On my Note 3 and S4 I had a zero lemon battery. It was easier to hold and lasted for three to four days.

If you look at recent phone releases though you can see that technology is getting better. Batteries are slimming down, but on screen times aren't really suffering as much as the bloggers would lead us to believe.

I think they should just drop the qHD screens and go back to 1080p. qHD is great on a tablet or even a laptop, but IMO that isn't necessary on a mobile phone. The battery savings for that alone would be huge. With that being said I do really enjoy my Edge screen. I could live with a bit less I think for the gain in battery life.

Here's a Spec Breakdown for the Nexus 5X | Droid Life

Hmm ..... I have a feeling that as much junk as I talked about the 5X I somehow will end up buying it ...which would be exactly what happened 2 years ago as I talked junk about the Nexus 5 and ended up purchasing it.

Decisions decisions decisions. I hate having money to burn.

Sad, but true LOL.

First world problems.

Other countries have people trying to survive and dream about just having a place to live and food to eat.

Here we are complaining because one phone don't have the specs of another phone that all are much more than we can really use.

Very true. I'm fortunate enough to have everything I do but I know where I came from and donate and help others where I can. I run in a lot of charity races.

Hey I'm not judging you. I feel like it is not my place to tell anyone what to do with their money. People are quick to rag someone riding around in a BMW or Jag and fail to realize that dude may have came from a cardboard box and busted his rump while denying himself so he could win. Now the person donates more money and time to helping the unfortunate than most people who complain about the issues going on in the world. Yet that person with the Jag only spent 2% of his wealth on himself and felt bad about that.

So you not going to find me telling someone what they should drive or buy. But I may provide reviews so people can save themselves from purchasing something that may not have been what they expected.

 

[Mustang02]

Didn't take it as you judging me. People don't know anyone's situation.

I think I actually kinda agree with you. The Galaxy Nexus was my first Nexus device and my first Samsung smartphone. That led to me buying the S4 and then the Note 4 after that. My recent decision to move away from Samsung has more to do with Touchwiz than anything else, even though I don't MIND TouchWiz. I'm just ready for stock android again.
