Notes

¹Final resolution may be lower than 12.3 MP.

²Storage specifications refer to capacity before formatting. Actual formatted capacity will be less.

³Size and weight may vary by manufacturing process.

⁴Actual battery performance will vary and depends on many factors including signal strength, network configuration, age of battery, operating temperature, features selected, device settings and voice, data and other application usage patterns.

Testing was conducted by LG and Google using preproduction Nexus 5X devices and software.

Talk time tests used default settings with Wi-Fi off and LTE on.
Standby time tests used default settings with Wi-Fi off and LTE on.
Wi-Fi Internet tests had Aeroplane Mode on with Wi-Fi connected to a test access point, while loading 20 popular websites cached on a local server. The device loaded a page, waited 40 seconds and then loaded a page from the next site and so on, in a continuous loop.
LTE Internet tests had Wi-Fi off and LTE on, and used the same testing method as the Wi-Fi Internet tests.
Video playback tests used a 10-minute 1080p video playing natively in a continuous loop, full-screen in landscape mode. Device was put in aeroplane mode, auto-brightness was turned off and brightness was set to 200 nits.
Audio playback tests used a 3-minute 256-kbps mp3 track playing natively in a continuous loop. Device was put in aeroplane mode, auto-brightness was turned off and brightness was set to 200 nits.

⁵Only applies to optimised Nexus devices, such as Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X, charged using the included USB Type-C 15 W (5 V/3 A) charger. Battery must be substantially depleted; charging rate slows as charging progresses.

All battery life claims are approximate and based on an average mixed-use profile that includes both usage and standby time.
