Nexus 5X 

Back in 2013 I purchased the current model Nexus 4 that had been released in 2012 and fell in love with the concept of a flagship phone from Google that showcases what Android was all about without all the "bells and whistles" that the other manufactures add into their phones. Fast forward to 2015, and I read all about the new Nexus 5X and 6P and decided that the 5X would be my next Nexus device. The issue was price and the fact that by Nexus 4 was still going strong and I didn't have a compelling reason to upgrade.

Throughout 2016 as the price of the Nexus 5X started to drop, I almost purchased one a few times, ultimately telling myself that I still did not need to retire the Nexus 4, and that very soon Google would launch the 2016 model of the Nexus.

As the news spread that the 2016 Nexus was now the Pixel and that it came with a price tag similar to that of the iPhone 7, I decided that the Pixel was not for me at this stage and went looking for an alternative phone, which proved harder than it should be and I keep on coming back to the Nexus 5X which was looking rather attractive given its recent price drop.

So, one lunch time I finally headed into a store and purchased the 5X.
And then sat online and purchased some accessories including cases, screen protectors, adaptors and charging cables.

Due to requiring the case and screen protector before using the phone, the phone currently still sits sealed in its box..
