OEM skin/software - Nexus 5X Real Life Review

Are you kidding me? This is a nexus.

It's a Nexus. The "skin"(such an inaccurate term), or really the lack of one, is the main selling point of the phone.

This thread is funny... to call stock Android a "skin" smh.... I do not think I would trust a reviewer who calls stock android a skin..

" If this is a Nexus phone (you didn't think we hand-wrote all of these prompts, did you?) then use this rating to indicate how the latest version of Android looks to you."
Do you guys read the post?

And people wonder why XDA has gone down the pan and devs leave by the bucket load.
It's because of threads like this that plague the site.

Hehe, thats true. But it's not only xda , it's everywhere

Funny that for the 5x this is 3.5 stars but the 6p is at 5 stars... ridiculous.

I love Pure Android 7.0 with Google Pixel Launcher. Sorry original Android 6.0 launcher is not my taste.
I give 5 star with custom loaded Pixel Launcher.

Love this phone for Sound-Speaker ability. Could be bit faster + could use stockish Android. Rating 8/10
For the current price, definitely a 5-star rating!
Nice feel great stereo speakers and price. My own gripe is hard to root and flash compare to other phones for noobs

I have it for two days, and it feels great so far.
Solid 4/5. Has some good things, has some bad ones. Most of the problems can be fixed with software updates, so maybe I will update my rating.
Had the Nokia 5 over a week now, used to have an Iphone 6+ before.
Great screen quality, great build quality.
Does slow down on occasion, but easily solvable by closing a few apps (but its not a Samsung Galaxy s9!)
Overall for a budget device really happy with it!

Stock Android is always better than MUIUI, touchwiz and so on

But some stock app is boring. Like Messenger, I need to insert receiver before input text. HTC Messenger allow me to type text, save draft without receiver.
Also, I don't like stock icon in Nokia 5 )
I havent texted in years and you can always download nova plus some icon pack
My point is that there a few phones without skins.
Stock Android is the reason i want to switch Xiaomi Note 4 to Nokia 5

Did u root your Nokia 5…?
No
Beautiful stock android. I use nova launcher that makes the homescreen a little more snappier and prettier.
Unmodified Android is one of the biggest reasons why I bought this phone, it's not a great performing phone, but the software is very clean.
Pure Android, and using it with Xperia Home and Nova prime with custom icon pack for the home screen. Cause the stock launcher isn't very customisable and the stock launcher's dock is taking too much space in the display
Sime annoyances in the UI like having to scroll all the way to the to to clear all apps. Some more themeing would be nice too. otherwise stock ftw

I give it a 10/10.
It's perfect (for me), it's cheap (paid €208 on Amazon), it's fast enough for my kind of usage (I don't play games, so I don't care if they run well on the phone or not), the camera is not AWESOME but it's still great and I managed to take nice shots with it.
It's been long since I've bought a phone with such a good bang for the buck. :good:
It's not a perfect phone, but amazing for the price. I definitively recommend it. 5/5
Considering price its better than most of the other phones at this price imo 11/10
Just got it yesterday. So far loving it, the battery last quite long, the screen is the right size for my fingers and so far runs pretty smooth.
I haven't installed the update to Android 9 Pie since lots of threads in this forum seem to point at bugs related to the update. What do you say? Should I remain in Oreo for a while or is the update stable enough for standard use?

Stock Android is love
Stoke Android is life

It's my first time using stock android. Missing some customisations from my previous phone.
But it's just been 2 days with the phone. I'd rather be open to the change. So far the performance of the device is good.

stock android is good for performance. but for appearance and skin is boring
If you don't like the stock android experience just use a launcher to change the look.
I don't like how the icon selection forces us to use 4 shapes that isn't compatible with all apps. Like if Circle is selected, some apps will have their icons encircled if it's not round by a bit while if we choose Square, the naturally round icons will look weird.
Then there's the wallpaper selection and settings. Not really great when you want to use a wide or square type of image for the two-three home scroll-able pages and not being able to select which one should be the home button. 3rd party apps have a hard time to apply the wallpaper due to the strictly stock settings.
Then there's the UI font size which affects the notifications tab and the hiding of the notch display.
I'd love MIUI on Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2. Ofcourse a stable port based on stable release of original Miui.

ZenUI is ****. It was laggy and with updates it gets worse. And for themes oreo support rootless substratum theming.

Why would custom roms have ads?
Even custom roms on official miui roms don't have ads.

Well not everybody likes substratum , theme engine of miui is better than substratum
Zen ui may had been laggy or buggy but trying it out would be great and through constant updates that problem too can be resolved
More over stock android kind of skip out on customisation and features
Stock is lob I'll gibb it 10 out 10
No question in that....

The stock Android is awesome but after using the device for the second day suddenly all my background was hidden and I have to go to safe mode and close all those background apps and Asus said it's due to a bug apart from that Google apps work very well with stock Android....#
Thumbs up...#
