Nexus 5X Specs

Of course things could be wrong, but we've heard the same details over and over again, seen leaked benchmarks and more, to feel that the information below is likely correct. The Nexus 5 won't be mind-blowing, but for the price and size it will be extremely fast, capable, and powerful. Here's the full details for those interested.

2015 Nexus 5X Specs (Rumored)

5.2-inch 1920 x 1080p Full HD Display (could be P-OLED)
6-core Snapdragon 808 Processor (Like the LG G4)
3GB of RAM (Some reports suggest 2GB of RAM)
16 and 32GB storage configurations
12.3 Megapixel Camera with image stabilization, laser auto-focus, and more
5 megapixel front camera
Android 6.0 Marshmallow
Fingerprint Scanner
USB Type-C Port
2,700 mAh Battery
more

Yes a 2,700 mAh battery isn't the biggest, but the Galaxy S6 only has a 2,550 mAh battery and it lasts pretty long. Add in an efficient processor, Android 6.0 and the lower resolution screen, and the Nexus 5X should have some pretty good battery life.

The only concern is 2GB of RAM, instead of 3, but at the same time 2GB is more than enough, and the phone should still be extremely fast and capable, especially thanks to all the improvements in Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
