Nexus 5X has Google’s new Sensor Hub chip inside which will keep notifications and fitness stats up-to-date at all times without drawing a ton of power. It has all updated features and pretty decent design but Google you missed OIS.
Yeah, I get it !!! Nexus 5x has decent pixel size, camera sensor size and laser-assisted autofocus which will produce very nice images but optical image stabilization is must-have features for camera lovers. The dual stereo speaker is also not there in Nexus 5x.
I guess people whoever may be planning to upgrade their old Nexus or other smartphones to Nexus 5x can ignore dual stereo speaker but they will think twice before placing the order because of OIS.
