Woah, John, are those townhomes shown at 5:35 in Ridgefield, New Jersey? My grandmother lived in the room in the very upper right of your photo. I haven't seen her place in almost 14 years. I could never forget those red doors!

Great review and thanks for the childhood flashbacks!

Another one ticked off the list, see what else comes out next.

I wish it would be a good phone to rely on but if the sound just using the regular phone is bad then it's not for me.

[hashmi]

isn't the review too early? did you test it enough ?

[colby_]

why so fast review? how long you used it?

[BusinessmanVMN]

Its actually soo nice to see usb type c to usb type c. Its ze future :()

[averagereviews]

Those red doors look familiar... Kew Garden Hills?

Hey is it lagging at all after you've had everything set up?

[jrm]

informative review, thank you. i like that you always include the call quality which is very important for everyone other reviewers they just skip it. i like also that you include the speaker quality and audio quality because i always love listening to music with my phone. can you suggest which phone is best in call quality as well as audio quality using wired/bluetooth headphone? thanks in advance.

[GarrettCraft]

When MKBHD hasn't uploaded a video on the phone yet, you gotta settle for less lmao

[snoodlefoots]

Good video, you didn't mention if you can replace the battery, but no big deal , I still gave it a thumbs up, good work, thanks

The moto x pure and the oneplus one both outclass the nexus in hardware and design

[chun]

I don't play game, I usually use the app like a Facebook google map and Flipboard with 4G.
the nexus 5x battery is good?
Would you tell me the nexus 5x can stay with 4G lasts all day??

[dimaswahyupratama]

Can someone tell me what is the app he is using on 6:29 ??

[tomassanguinetti]

where is it at 379 bucks? i can only fin it in amazon for 500

Nice to hear something positive about the display. Everywhere else it's been mostly "Not AMOLED? Wow, how shit, the colors are so bland". According to the charts on your site, the display seems to be almost just as good as the one on iPhone 6S and exceeds the 6P in maximum brightness and color accuracy. That said, what's with the 6P? do the colors really overshoot that badly? Did you test it with the sRGB mode on (or whatever that it has)?

should i buy moto x play (32 gb rom + 3630 maH + octa core 615) for 300 USD or the nexus 5x (16gb rom + 2700 maH + hexa core 808) for 360 USD ?

[BruhHowDidIGetHere]

It bothers me that the camera is a 12.3 megapixel. Why didn't they just say 12 megapixel or bump it up to 13... lol

I'm a former owner of a Moto x pure edition, had to return it...below average battery with the quad hd display. My m8 even lasted longer which is a shame
