Which one to buy? Google Nexus 6P or Nexus 5X

16GB is not really enough these days, and Nexus 5X 32GB model is $70 cheaper compared to Nexus 6P. Do you think it’s enough saving? What are you loosing for this $70? Let’s know.

$70 will make you loose these features or specs if you choose Nexus 5X

• Premium metal body
• LPDDR4 faster ram (Nexus 5X has 2GB LPDDR3, and Nexus 6P feature 3GB LPDDR4 RAM)
• 5.7 inches larger display
• 2K/QHD resolution
• Better Protection with Gorilla Glass 4
• Bigger Battery
• Faster Snapdragon 810 Chipset
