Want a full taste of Android Marshmallow in its purest form? The Nexus 5X is now available in Malaysia thanks to grey importer DirectD. Announced about a month ago, the Nexus 5X that’s made by LG is the affordable alternative to its top ranging Nexus 6P by Huawei. As an imported unit, obviously there’s a premium to pay which makes it rather expensive.
DirectD is offering the Nexus 5X 16GB version for RM2,099 (including GST). Without a microSD expansion slot, you probably might want to get the 32GB version but that would cost you more at RM2,499. For reference, the Nexus 5X in the US is sold officially at US$379 for 16GB (about RM1,632) and US$429 for 32GB (about RM1,847).
To refresh on the specs, the Nexus 5X is seen as the upgrade of its former Nexus 5. It gets a slightly bigger 5.2″ Full HD screen and under the hood it gets a respectable Hexa-Core Snapdragon 808 with 2GB of RAM. For imaging, it gets a 12.3MP f/2.0 main camera with IR Laser AF while the front gets a 5MP f/2.0 shooter with larger 1.4 micron pixel size. Connectivity wise there’s no comprimises with faster Cat 6 4G LTE, WiFi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 4.2, NFC and there’s also a fingerprint scanner that unlocks in a single touch.
Keeping it juiced up is a 2,700mAh capacity battery which supports Quick Charge via a USB Type-C connector. For more than RM2,000, there are better flagship options out there with at least 3GB of RAM. Alternatively, you could consider the Nexus 6 which can be yours for RM1,899 with official Brightstar warranty.
