LG Nexus 5X - user opinions and reviews

I've owned the Nexus 5X since December 2015, and I'm mostly happy with it. This phone replaced the older smaller Moto X 2013, which my wife now uses very happily.
I like the USB-C connector, since it works either way you plug it in - no more checking to see which side is up. I also like that with the USB-C (3 Amp connector) the phone can charge VERY fast if I need to, although I don't always use the "rapid charge" feature if I don't need it. Mostly I use my old charger at work through a small micro-USB to USB-C adapter. In my car, I use a Motorola cigarette lighter charger with a micro-USB connector and the same USB-C adapter; this keeps up with the phone screen turned on for GPS navigation while playing music and making phone calls through my car's stereo, through Bluetooth.
I have found that if I use over 1.8 GB of the 2 GB RAM capacity, the phone response lags, so I keep the RAM only to about 1.4 GB - that still lets me use plenty of apps, believe me. But this is true of ANY phone. When I owned two Samsung Galaxy (the GS3 and GS4), I noticed the same lagging problem when I loaded the phone with too many active apps.
What I really love about this phone is Project Fi. So far in the 3 months I've used it, my monthly bills have dropped each month. Dec-Jan: $45, Jan-Feb: $35, Feb-March: $29. I think my next bill will be about $27. And for this, I get unlimited phone and unlimited text messages. I am lucky to be covered with WiFi signal most places I go. When I know that am going to be using cell data because WiFi is lacking where I'm going, I load up my phone with the music and reading material that I need, and pre-load Google Maps with the places I'll be. I also "plugged the data leaks" so that my apps don't gobble up data on their own in the background. This is fine for me, because I can wait till I get within WiFi range to get those apps "re-charged".
All in all, I like the phone and I plan to keep it... for as long as I want to. It is MY phone, that is, I bought it outright, so I can do whatever I want with it for as long as I like. I really like not being stuck on a 2 year contract with my old carrier, Verizon. That was really annoying, to have to wait 2 years before I could pick another phone out.
Good luck.

Ignore comments about it looking cheap, etc. It is very well made and looks good. Great size, fast, great camera. Ram fine for average users, certainly for me. 16 GB storage fine for me but prob most go for 32. A really excellent all round phone at a good price. Sensor is also superb. I thoroughly recommend the phone.

I have played Nova 3 for an hour with charger plugged in and on WiFi but there was no heating at all. Occasionally i have noticed lil bit of heating around the fingerprint scanner while gaming fro more then an hour but that heat was barely noticeable. You have to feel it consciously to find that sign of heat.

The storage may be an issue to some of users out there but you can use an OTG drive or go for 32gb variant. but i think 16gb variant is enough too.
