> 1 / 9

We've only been using the Nexus 5X's June Android 7.1.2 update for a short time but it feels stable on our device.  Short-term battery life is excellent. We haven't noticed any weird drain but that could obviously change down the road. Connectivity is also strong.  We've tested the software with several routers, a couple of ISPs, and Bluetooth headphones and speakers. We haven't experienced any issues yet.  The user interface is still extremely fast with the June build on board. We've seen frequent lag on the Android O beta so the speed is definitely a nice change.  So far, our core applications which include Asana, Slack, Twitter, Spotify, and Soundcloud are pairing well with the new build. One other note: We haven't noticed any fingerprint sensor issues. Yet. Given what's on board (security patches) and given its steady performance, you'll definitely want to consider installing the new build on your Nexus 5X.  If you're having a pleasant experience on the original Android 7.1.2 Nougat update, Android 7.1.1 Nougat or something older, take your time. Dig into additional feedback, especially if you start feeling leery. We've put together a list of reasons to, and not to, install Android 7.1.2. It could help you to one side of the fence or the other.
