Nexus 5X and 6P Review - The Best Android Phone of 2015?

[@thekaramazovs]

Dave, you're videos are the best. I love the animation near the end when you're explaining the specs on both phones. I wish you had a tutorial video explaining your process. Nevertheless, awesome video. I bought the 6P last week and I'm waiting for it to ship.

[@Dave2D]

+Gustavo Linzan Thanks! Glad you enjoyed ot =)

[@thekaramazovs]

***** would you recommend a beginner's camera and microphone--something you've used to start your channel--for the few (or the many) of us who are going to make the fateful attempt of joining and producing content on KZbin?

[@Dave2D]

Don't worry about camera. Smartphone cameras will do an awesome job. (Watch Danny wingets video on it) but a good starter mic... Mm maybe the snowball? Pretty popular and relatively inexpensive

[@thekaramazovs]

Thank you *****. I appreciate the response. I was looking into a Nikon or Canon DSLR camera as an introduction to video recording, and a Samson Meteor, a RODE USB Mic, or a Snowball for an introduction into audio. Would you recommend a video editing program?

[@NormalGadgetLab]

+Dave Lee yea. I am also wondering how much a good camera helps. When i use my smartphone to take videos, they are really blurry. also happens to my budget camera.

[@MatthewMoniz]

Nicely done! Great review Dave!

[@Dave2D]

Thanks Matt! Glad you liked it. Hope to see your take on them shortly :)

[@edgarcmtz]

That moment when you working on an essay, but Dave uploads so you gotta watch.

[@OrdlOvech]

+Edgar Martinez same ish!

[@edgarcmtz]

Colleen Bautista lol

[@NicolasGomez97]

+Edgar Martinez Holy shit exact same senario lol.#RussianRevolution

[@PhilipDickson]

+Edgar Martinez AHHH Same here D:

[@NS416]

what's up with your profile picture?

[@austinhughes2161]

Nice review but i have to disagree about the camera. The images at 3:48 looked much better on the 6P than on the iphone 6s at 3:51.

[@dannywinget]

Great video as usual. I feel the Nexus 5X feels cheap first impressions. Hollow and super light. Speaker is tinny. Great breakdown though.

[@InspireSpeechMedia]

But the Specs is doing its work.

[@InspireSpeechMedia]

Btw i love your content Danny been your subscriber for a year now.

[@Dave2D]

Thanks for watching Danny! For a full plastic phone with no metal trim, I think they did a great job on build quality. I can't imagine a fully plastic phone feeling any more premium than the 5x. It IS plastic though so when you hold a metal bodied flagship in comparison, it doesn't feel nearly as nice.

[@kenkirtland6757]

One of the best review videos i have ever watched. Also, literally right after you said you prefer the iPhone 6S camera you showed a shot comparison in difficult conditions where the Nexus 6P absolutely decimated the iPhone lol.

[@Emigdema]

The iPhone photo definitely had more dynamic range

[@chitranchakrabortty]

+Ken Kirtland The colours are more natural in the 6S but I personally preferred the 6P shot.

[@TechGeneral]

Awesome video Dave, the animation is so good!

[@yasserosama3405]

the best word to describe this video is clean :)

[@Dave2D]

+yasser osama thanks for watching!

[@IAmJe]

I really enjoyed the 7:00 - 8:30 segment, I like how you showed diagrams of the internals with clean lines.

[@robertibeh]

This video was pure class. Clean and high quality.

[@twent10]

I concur!

[@canary_aye9656]

+twent10 I double concur

[@shehbaz89]

Im so not intrusted in either of the phones, but your reviews are so damn good.. I just have to watch your videos!

[@Meister_Dwight]

Same.

[@MoonyDrak]

Am I the only one here who actually like the bar (visor) on the 6P?

[@misero6130]

no sir! love it!

[@TheMoose2010]

+Moony Drak I love it. It kinda gives it that space trooper look. I just hate how the camera isn't centered vertically on there.

[@mikldude9376]

+Moony Drak sorry mate , it looks cheap and nasty if you ask me .

[@markcruzjr.7754]

I didn't like it at first but I totes like it now.

[@FerrumAnulum]

I love it. it reminds me of my old gen 1 droid X from back in the day... which is still a great phone if you ask me.

[@the13thkillzone]

Dave, i say it on almost all of your videos... You need more subs man! The quality to your reviews are amazing. Keep doing what you're doing.

[@AnhVu-rc9gj]

Dat graphic tho! Nice job! I always love little touches like that. It separates you from everyone else doing these reviews. You gotta do a video about your top phones for the year and make a comparison between them, that will be dope! Love your reviews.

[@manilashakerph]

Dave. I think there are camera sensors (laser, and maybe css behind the visor) that you covered with the dbrand vinyl

[@Ensifolk]

Where you been dude? The first review I ever watch for you. You are far much better than many known Channels/Reviewers This is the best review I've seen for the Nexus 5x & 6p.

[@KoysorMiah]

One of the best reviews I've ever seen! No stutter and "uhmm's and hmmms" as some reviewers keep doing! Straight to the point and loved that round up at the end with the animated drawings. 😊 Would love to see a review of the Nexus 6p's front and back cameras compared to Note 5, S6, 6S and the Moto X Style.

[@jackiechoo]

Glad your phone reviews are getting recognised (hence the early samples)! Keep up the great work.

[@feeshaali1114]

I love your voice!! You're so calm and composed :)

[@GeekyNerdDad]

Love the animations in the recap. Nice work

[@Dave2D]

+Larry Dickerson Thanks Larry! So cool to see you watching my stuff. You inspired me so much when I started this year!

[@JacksonTong7]

Finally, a Nexus 6P review not using the graphite model! The frost and aluminum colours look far more stunning imo. You get my subscription!

[@zagaberoo]

I really love the tiny injections of silliness into the review. That sort of thing is so easy to overdo, but this still feels professional.

[@Dave2D]

Hah thanks. Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@CodiTC]

This is definitely one of the best phone reviews I've seen in my ears of smart phone owning. Keep up the good work.

[@OrdlOvech]

That moment when your studying for a midterm exam but Dave uploads a video, you just can't resist to watch it ..

[@Dave2D]

Haha. Thanks for watching. And good luck on your midterms!

[@OrdlOvech]

+Dave Lee Thanks!!

[@TamaraGirodie]

Just found this old video of yours... The progress you've made is incredible, even from such a high starting point! I miss the 5X, the mint one I had was by far the best phone I had in the past with the iPhone SE.

[@simonkirk1610]

This is the first video of yours I've found. Very good quality. Professional presentation and informative. Not at all biased.

[@chitranchakrabortty]

Damn, this video was one of the best Tech review videos I've ever seen, keep it up man!

[@24bit-176khearts]

One of the great reviewers on KZbin. And it's worth mentioning the 6P has OIS for the camera.

[@ekatirta2304]

you deserve more viewers dude. great review. btw what's with the sketches animation? dope

[@minkailulamin1304]

Very good review. Quick, concise and entertaining. You deserve more subscribers.

[@Dave2D]

Thanks for watching!

[@ryderdonahue]

Great review, good writing, editing, shots. Thanks!

[@Dave2D]

+Ryder Donahue Glad you enjoyed it!

[@se7enBC1]

dude I like your phone review videos. clean, simple and I love how you recap with the drawing of the phones. keep it up.

[@TonyChanTurbo]

Finally someone with a color other than the graphite black! Wish there were more videos of the aluminum out there. Loved the joke about the drill bit!

[@KeaFunny]

cause black is the best color

[@lASSMOl]

The video is rich with quality as usual. The "RECAP" is always something I look forward too. Great summary of what is going on in the video filled with highlights and what matters. I ordered a Nexus 6p about 20 minutes after the event stopped and after this video I am even more excited! Keep up the awesome work brother!

[@Dave2D]

+M.J. Naser Nice. I think you'll really like the device.

[@lloydaaronilagan5801]

Great review "Kuya Dave" :)

[@instudio_o]

Just came across your channel. Gotta say your videos are great! + That animation.. great touch!

[@sotonye3121]

This might be the best Nexus 6p review I've watched and am going to watch. Great work. Keep it Entertaining.

[@samuelodan2376]

Man, i loved this video, i felt some tingling happiness in me as i was watching this. I loved the animations in the end, where you were explaining some stuff about the phones. I wonder how i only just discovered your channel.

[@GuanMu]

The best Nexus 5X & 6P review I have ever seen by now. Keep it going

[@Dave2D]

+Guan Mu (Andrew) Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@GuanMu]

***** By the way, there is a new brand of android phone in China named Smartisan (t.tt) with very unique software experience and great hardware design maybe you should try it out.

[@sriyansh100]

Damn quality on this channel is super high

[@tecmedimagen]

Yep

[@Dave2D]

+Sriyansh Srivastava Thanks! Glad you enjoy the videos.

[@simonchung9813]

I was trying to decide between the 5x and 6p. Your review helped, Dave. Nicely done!

[@AmanKhoo]

I love the way you interprate your opinions. It's clear and packs with details information. Goodjob.

[@akashbiswas1882]

just a small suggestion DAVE. We would really love to see a highlight of the inbuilt DAC of any device! Be it a laptop or a smartphone! Personally i haven't seen anything coming closer to an apple device but still the market is getting competitive... a small highlight of the DAC in the full reviews would be a welcome addition

[@Dave2D]

+Akash Biswas Honestly, DAC's are very very hard to give a empirical review on. You need some seriously expensive equipment to do it with. It's often subjective because everyone's ears perceive sounds differently. But the LG V10 has the best DAC on the market right now if you're a hardcore audiophile! Noticeably better than the iPhone DACs

[@akashbiswas1882]

Agreed but a small overview on how well it might drive a standard earcup like ATH-M50X will work. Like I have seen some famous phones like nexus 5, LG G3, galaxy s4 are almost useless with good pair of earcans. and interestingly most of the reviewers tend to miss this topic even though they all prefer using high end earcup with their phones.

[@a_2010x]

Wow, this guy does great reviews. Very natural presence and thorough review!

[@007peter]

Great Video as always Dave. I think 5x and 6P "deserve" its own video. I would LOVE to see a (1) MotoG vs Nexus 5x (2) Moto X Pure vs 6P video. I think 5X is an over-priced Moto G.

[@emdotrod]

Great review as usual. I kinda like 5X. Unfortunately I have to wait a lot longer to get these phone. Indonesia even only got Nexus 6 recently.

[@rodgaray]

Great review Dave!

[@MarcX2269]

First review I've seen showing the 6p in Frost. Looks amazing!

[@RizwanAzad]

Come to the channel for the very first time and I must confess I just loved the no fuss no non sense review. Sweet and simple. I am planning to get a new phone and am stuck between 6P and Note 5. Hey Dave can you help me chose the device?

[@thesekicks.]

6P

[@mayoouran7711]

Note 5

[@WorkingOnMax]

+Rizwan Azad 6P

[@dyay108]

+Rizwan Azad 6p bro

[@persieprince9345]

6p for sure good deal also

[@matthewchoong9502]

ILY Dave2D!

[@thesekicks.]

I absolutely love the creative but plain look of your videos. Did Google send you the frost 6P? Because most of the review units seem to be graphite.

[@chetanashish]

Amazing video, Dave! Not too crowded yet super informative and I just love that little summary thing you do at the end! Keep it up!

[@Dave2D]

+Chetan Ashish Thanks!

[@NECKK1SS]

Highly impressed with the quality of your videos. You just got a new subscriber.

[@maikure]

Dave, does the phone give you a solid metallic kind of feeling when you are holding it? Some people been saying the Frost color doesn't give you that feeling because of the coating or some sort compare to other colors.

[@kevinxavier3150]

good review as always! man you need more subs

[@roberthenderson9920]

Nice review. Only one question though. you said that if a notification came through that you had to pick the phone up to unlock it to see them. But I thought that there was some sort of feature where you could tap or shake the phone or wave your hand over one of the front sensors and you got a Motorola like listing of notifications? No?

[@bryanchaves5691]

Inside Top 5 best reviewers IMO!

[@Makifo]

I have never actually seen a review video to convince me of the 6P until this one. Buying it now!

[@aldrentiamson3465]

the drill the hole thing is genius! liked your vid! another subber here 🙋

[@USN1985dos]

Random question: What speakers do you have on your desk, and do you like them? I watched your "setup" review but I don't think I saw them mentioned. Thanks.

[@koraytugay]

Audioengine A2. Stay away from them.

[@ZackGeragosian]

That white 6P looks so sexy! Great review!

[@yonan007]

keep up the good work Dave 😉

[@AhmedZekry911]

Great video better than too many out there, good luck!!

[@jackshireman8598]

Finally, you are the first one to address the sensor on the back of the phone and how you always have to pick it up to unlock it! Did you find yourself eventually getting used to it or is it still an annoyance to you?

[@Dave2D]

+Jack Shireman I don't need to look at my notifications much when it's on a table so I'm totally okay with it. But for people who text on table and stuff, it might be annoying

[@Unkn0wnC0mmand]

Found your channel by accident and this video was enough to make me subscribe. Excellent video and look forward to more in the future. Very good music, too.

[@nolainnogain]

This is the best review I've seen about either of these devices.

[@Dave2D]

+Lain Macauley Glad you liked it Lain! =)

[@danialikhsan6569]

that animation in the conclusion is great,, appreciate it broh

[@Dave2D]

+danial ikhsan thanks for watching it =)

[@DroidKnight]

Subscribed. You do an amazing job doing reviews and you seem to be unbiased. Thumbs up! I ordered the Aluminium 64GB Nexus 6P. This is going to be my first Nexus!

[@DroidKnight]

+Harshil Chopra I believe this is the Frost White version. check store.Google.com and you can see the difference clearly.

[@Carlos-id4in]

+Droid Knight same here. I already ordered 6P right after I watched this video. (previous iPhone user)

[@DroidKnight]

I am using the 6P right now. Amazing phone !! Loving it.

[@Carlos-id4in]

Droid Knight This is the first phone that comes with almost all good reviews I have ever seen. I've watched plenty of android-based websites and review videos, they all gave 6P a great impression and overwhelmingly positive reviews. I can't wait to get mine! Still have to wait for 2 weeks!!! Ugh

[@VaeVictus666]

man...I don't know how I never ran into your videos before. top notch quality and very well balanced. love the animations too. Good for you man. keep it up u just got a new sub. cheers

[@manayil005]

This is the first video I watched of yours and its great.

[@harshitpdoshi]

By far, the best review about the new Nexus phones! Love your style Dave!

[@lidrajv]

Awesome quality on the review man! ;)

[@KUNAMANENISYAMKIRAN]

really great review. Particularly i liked ur summary..

[@Thefastlane425]

Excellent review. Glad I came across this review

[@Dave2D]

+Thefastlane425 Glad you enjoyed it!

[@hypermoro]

subscribed! loved the review.. simple and to the point

[@dannypanny99]

Hey Dave have you seen the htc a9

[@jti107]

nice reviews! keep up the good work!!!

[@onedirectionalbania4739]

Well done, Good job Dave! :)

[@Lvlaple4Ever]

Can you do a review of the new XPS 15 when it comes out?

[@Dave2D]

+lvlaple4Ever Most likely

[@placeholder3810]

good video, great narrative voice :) you got a subs.

[@HustleHabit]

Pleasantly surprised with this review. Very well done. I wish you the best in the future... Clicked just to see the Nexus in Frost lol. Glad I did.

[@junsago]

Really nice video bro I love it, keep up your good work!

[@ArabSoul212]

Seriously man your way too funny, that was the best review i seen on the nexus devices you should do a moto x pure edition vs 6p haven't seen that around

[@gerardwawo]

High quality content, as usual. Can't decide between 6P or the Note 5... Phones these days...

[@bigup7777]

I see you got great screen on time. Do you around this on a daily basis ?

[@Dave2D]

+bigup7777 SoT is a pretty poor indicator of battery life because it varies wildly depending on use. But ya those numbers were pretty average

[@theotherlinh]

What were your brightness settings on the phone when you tested?

[@Dave2D]

+Linh Nguyen I'd adjust it as I needed. Really "average" use for me though. Indoors/outdoors/nighttime

[@KuhlurzOfTalenTz]

Incredible quality on the video--nice work!

[@Dave2D]

+Eric Garcia thank you. Glad you liked it

[@alexthegreat7989]

Awesome Intro. Great review!

[@Dave2D]

+Alex Garcia Glad you liked it =)

[@salifly2914]

really good review in every new video you perform better and better

[@Dave2D]

+Salif Ly thanks!

[@danielalcina817]

Great review! really like the 6P in white.

[@justinbryan5717]

3:59 I'm not gay or anything, but you ARE good looking.

[@paulboop1508]

Super solid review man! subscribed! :)

[@JXEIO]

Im so happy I found your channel.

[@edovonstrudla]

Nice review but why no info about output power on headphone jack? How´s sound quality with earphones?

[@targettmark88]

awesome review, I love your animations in your vids :-)

[@NetvoTV]

You just start your channel not long ago, how do you able to ask for device for review? thanks!

[@Fiveward]

Hi Dave! Can you post that wallpaper??

[@UgoMazier1704]

Great review man !! You're awesome ! Hope you'll continue :)

[@lukebarron986]

Hey Dave, great review! Where did you the wallpaper for used your Nexii at 4:40?

[@OscarHernandez31121968342]

Thanks DAAAVE! Finally the wallpaper I wanted ! Luvvve it !!
