The phone feels solid. The buttons don't feel cheap. I appreciate the weight of the phone. A light phone tricks your mind into thinking you don't have to grip your phone firmly until someone bumps into you. This phone feels solid and my mind tells me I have to hold on to this phone so it doesn't slide off my hands. I prefer a phone with weight over a phone that doesn't have much weight.
Is the weight evenly distributed? It's not top heavy is it?
Is the side frame really metal/aluminum? Does it feel like it? Some phones have coatings of paint so thick it removes the metal feel in a sense.
Thinking about getting the red.. Never had a red phone.. To those that had red phones before, does it draw to much attention? Too gaudy maybe?
The phone feel really premium. For the red color, don't forget that you will certainly use a protection. If you take a transparent case ( like i'm doing) you will be going to see the back of your phone and the red same to be a really nice color. The 8/256 was only available in black but i love the rainbow effect on the back !
For the weight, i didn't fell any difference with my Axon 7.

Awesome. Thanks!
Feels great in the hands, weight is solid. screen has good, noticeable slide, nice buttons click. hopefully it won't scratch as I removed both protectors, I don't like the plastic feel to them.
My Nex S has survived an hour sunk in fresh snow at -8 ° C. When I found it, the snow was b in the USB-C port, 3.5mm socket and loudspeaker. It worked without a problem, a few hours passed and no symptoms.
I sorry for my English, I use Google Translate.
Power Button
For me, the power button has some play and can be wiggled around without being pressed. Is this normal or is my unit defective?

I was thinking about removing my protectors as well, they feel plasticky.
have you removed yours? Are the screen and the back easy to scratch after doing so?
Thanks!
Anyone else having the camera not pop up perfectly straight but slightly tilted?

No problems here.
Neither have problems here with a tilted cam or with something else hardware related.
But my beloved Vivo Nex died yesterday without any reason. Something between hard- and softbricked! Will Post in another thread here about it. Just to say: Make backups, the Software of the phone is not half as good as the really perfect hardware of it!

Dem bezels! Especially if you get the white version, looking at the device when the screen is off is fun because it kind of looks like a device from the future with those narrow bezels!
Looks great, but a bit slippery. I have not put a case on because that defeats the purpose of the great design.

Great designs, but need to take extra care when handling
Sexier than me lol
Note5's design is absolutely awesome. Handling of the device is so easy and comfortable because of curves in back, it fits in hand. I really like the new design of Note series and I hope more improvement by Samsung in future. So I'm giving 5 stars to this thread.
The curve edge on the back makes it feel good in hand and also make it feel thinner than it actually is. Even though it has a curve back, it doesn't rattle like most real curve back when you set it down. It actually feels flat when I set it down on my desk.

This phone is sleek, sexay and thin. Lets get that staight away. Every inch of this phone, the back, the front, rear and the sides. There are no UGLY angles on this phone. Yes we dont have external SD card and and yes we dont' have removable battery but the Looks makes my ex grilfrineds iphone 6s look like b squad girls at a gentlemans club.
The Gold Platinum, Sliver Titanium, and Black Onyx variants all look amazing. But White Pearl looks...odd. If I were to see that phone laying down on a desk with or without a cover, I would assume it to be any other Samsung device. Simply because the majority of Samsung devices are white, and that makes White Pearl seem like a generic, boring phone.
I have the Gold Platinum edition, I got it because of how close it looks to Chrome, and I love the color of Chrome. I feel it gives it a sleek futuristic look. The only drawback is that for safety sake I had to put a case on it so and that hides the sleek look and feel of the device
I love my note 5. Extremely sweet send fast
After 13 months of having this phone, I'm still staring at it and enjoying the lovely all metal, slim and sexay body.

Ok So this is the thread where you come to talk about the build quality of the 5X and any issues/defects you discover with your device. Since it seems like devices will be shipping soon I thought I'd get this thread started. More info will be added to this OP as people report things.. stay tuned..
Hopefully this thread doesn't get used much
LG is known to use plastics that can crack in weird places but I'm hoping none of those issues are present

Oh it will.. All the OCD people will flood to it with every little thing.. I know I use to be one of them.. haha I stopped reading threads like this because they would make me notice things I never would have noticed before and would have been in ignorant bliss if I did not read the thread.. haha With the N5 I thought mine was solid, until I read a similar thread on it and found my volume buttons rattled when you tapped the top right of the screen.. It didn't bother me and I didn't notice it much... Until I read one of these threads.. haha

Yeah...lol. Right near the volume key and the headphone jack on my Nexus 5. At least my screen was and still is perfect.
Zero issues found (so far anyway)
Build quality is excellent, even gaps between screen/chassis and buttons, no backlight bleed. Buttons feel solid and don't wobble and no creaking or flex in the phone. Slight softness on the back cover but I doubt this could be classed as a build issue.
Certainly feels like a quality device and not something just chucked together.

Its plastic, just feels like there is a little "give" in the middle. Hand feel is pretty similar to the n5, maybe a little less grippy.

im going to assume the back is like the nexus 5 and will be soft touch. that's what i love about my moto g 2015, the rigid back cover. the only concern i have is that protruding camera hump.
A guy over on AC posted some thoughts.
http://forums.androidcentral.com/nexus-5x/595823-mine-has-just-been-delivered-4.html#post4756602
"Just had mine delivered a day early, too. Great stuff.
Here's some quick thoughts (hope OP doesn't mind a small hijack):
1. I got the black one - the material is soft to touch, but not in the same way the original N5 was. The N5 had a grippy kind of feel - this material feels more solid, but silky smooth to the touch. I like it. The edge material is the same as the rear material too.
2. The gap between the glass and frame seems a lot tighter this time - I'm hopeful that there won't be as much dirt finding its way into that area as with the N5, for those of us who don't use cases.
3. The dimensions are lovely. I've come from a Nexus 6 and this just feels so much nicer to hold. Slim and light are the words that fit best.
4. Nice to be back on an IPS too - I prefer the more muted colours. It is as good as the N5 screen. The increase to 5.2" doesn't have any impact on the sharpness as far as I can tell.
5. The buttons protrude a nice distance and have a good clicky feel to them. They don't feel as sharp around the edges as they did on the N5. Small amount of rattle if that sort of thing bothers you.
6. The Nexus logo is printed instead of being inlaid. The logo and fingerprint scanner ring are a dark grey (graphite?) colour.
7. The fingerprint scanner is fast and reliable. It gives a single vibration for a successful attempt and a double for a failed attempt. Just touch the scanner to activate the phone.
8. Camera opens quickly and the auto-focus seems reliable and rapid. Haven't got much more to say about the camera yet.
9. The OS feels slightly slower than 5.1.1 on the N6. Very smooth, but more delibrately paced, if that makes sense. I wonder if that's more Marshmallow than the hardware - particularly as this benchmarks in the same region as last year's N6.
10. Ambient display seems to work at least as well as my N6 - although it's early days still.
That's all I have for now. It's a good start though and exactly the phone I wanted last year."
Now that devices are shipping and people are getting them.. Post your observations about build quality
Hi
Build quality seems good, nothing to report of a negative nature.

About N5. I got mine ran over by a Kart. Broke the screen, replaced it. Months later happened something similar, this time the LCD even cracked (guess it was a fake spare). Just to give you an idea of the treatment.
Not one plastic crack!

Are the speaker grille things hard plastic? Is it durable? It looks like it can be easy to break if pressed or similar
edit: I am worried that it can be pushed in if it gets hit or it can pop off

Feels like a $1000 phone. Sturdy, tight, and sleek. Moto makes great use of rounded backs and corners to make their phones feel great in the hand.
Agree with everything but also want to add that I love how the phone feels cold when you pick it up
The shiney smooth back is actually grippier than I would have expected. Overall it feels very nice.
I have a few small (SMALL) quirks about the device that are a little bothering if I think about them, but it's mostly just me nit-picking. The model number is printed on a light color font on the bottom, between the headphone jack and USB-C. It's kinda weird to be seeing a font where there almost shouldn't be. The SIM card is on top of the phone, which is a little weird to me. The breaks in the phone where the antennas are (2 on bottom, 1 on top) are a little disjointing if you notice them. The volume-up-down are a little harder to click than I would like (but that's probably a good thing to avoid accidental clicks). And lastly, 2 of the 3 microphones (the ones on the front and back) seem to be more noticeable than I expected. It was actually one of the first things I noticed when I first took it out of the box, and turned it around to look at the smooth back.
As I said, these are nit-picks. Overall, it's a very well built phone, sturdy, and very pleasant to use. Would highly recommend.

Let me be the first (likely of many) to warn that Lenovo-rola is notorious for crap quality. The phone's have some awesome features, but quality bites, their support is so bad they got sued (Gerard Gibbs) over it. My g5 plus is the last Moto device I will ever buy.

Do you really prefer when it's printed on the back?
Love the phone. The contour glass is beautiful, and not as slippery as I thought when reading reviews. Have not had a problem since I bought it in October. The only thing is the amazon Alexa and the camera. I felt like the original moto x did a way better job with voice commands than Alexa. The camera is fine, just wish that they made the bump smaller. But the weight and feel of the phone itself is awesome compared to others with a higher price. Give it a 8 out of a 10
I had a G5 Plus, and for a plastic phone, the build quality was extremely good. It was up there with any plastic Samsung phone I've ever handled. The X4 is much higher quality, though. It really does feel like a phone that costs twice as much. I think it's a little slippery, though, so I keep it in a case.

Wow, it's like you know me, have you stolen my mirror? Wait...no..
I received the case before the phone. My 7 Pro case fits my OP6 almost perfectly so when people say, "it's huge!". not really.
Has anyone taken the risk of going raw dog with that bad boy? The back of the nubia color I have is dangerously slippery. That coupled with the fact that the phone can be a bit unwieldy for some certainly constitutes a recipe for disaster!

No case here. Love the nebula blue color it would be a shame to put one on it. It is a bit slippery, but when you keep that in the back of your mind it is ok to handle with one hand even
Such a beautiful phone. Makes any phone with a notch look silly.
Have unfortunately dropped mine a couple times already though and some of the blue finish on the corners has given way to bare metal
best looking and feeling phone I have held to date. Bar none.
I took it out of the case,dropt it on the carpet 30 seconds later ).
I'm going to keep it in the case until i get used to its size.
I hate keeping my phones in cases tough.
I want other emojis
I don't have any major complaints with the look of the device. I would personally prefer the rear cameras be completely flush with the backing but that isn't a deal-breaker. A slightly thicker profile might actually give them a little more room to do that, increase the battery size, and make the device slightly easier to grip on the sides without a case. I would really like an emerald or jade green color option.

Yes, it actually wraps around the side of the phone and adds more grip to the sides, but the sides of the phone are thin. so there still isn't much surface area to grab. so you still need to be careful. I find that where I would have grabbed the phone by it sides, I'm handling it more with the front and back of the phone.
Not a fan at all of the curved screen, warps screen and words are harder to read when close to the edges.

Yeah, the curved screen isn't my favorite part of the phone. Surprisingly, it hasn't bothered me too much so far. At least it's better than the Galaxy S7 edge I used to own.
Really a nice device. Especially in blue! However, I find that the edges are slightly too rounded.
One has to absolutely LOVE the full view screen. An actually full-screen phone, at last. I've heard people complain that the back cover is glass and that it could have been plastic. Well, then they'd complain that it's mere plastic and doesn't feel premium. I Love the looks.

Looks and feels premium. But the display came with a small blip in the side on the glass. Couldn't unsee it after finding it out so ended up with a tempered glass and the ungainly white border.
It feels very high quality especially coming from the Poco. I've used naked for a while but found the back and front glass scratches very easy compared to the metal body (aluminium?).
I suggest using at least the standard case and getting some sort of screen protection.
It's feels very nice in hand and not slippery at all. Overall for, sd855, pop up camera, amoled, fast charge, metal glass sandwich design the list goes on, I'm struggling to find where they cut corners or how they even made profit off this amazing phone.
Finish is good and I used the standard case from the start along with some screen cover. The hard screen cover is not very good as the phone's screen actually has a radius near the bevel and the hard screen cover does not conform to the curve..I will try a soft cover when (if?) I can be bothered.
I have since changed cover as I ordered it before I realised the phone came with one.. my after market cover covers the top and bottom of the phone more than the stock one and is softer.
When I first got the phone it felt heavy but is only about 50 grams heavier than my last phone with almost identical dimensions. But now I have grown to enjoy the extra weight.. it doesn't cause issues in my pocket.. all in all very satisfied with the ergos of this phone
A shame that they used that poor vibration motor that makes it feel as cheap as the redmi note 4x (only thing I could compare it to). They should've chosen haptic feedback motors instead.
The rest seems fine, apart from the design blunder of the camera setup, but it's not as big of a deal compared to an upside down screen (looking at you, oneplus 5).
Software wise, it's completely cr**, full of bugs and broken things, it just doesn't work well (miui 11). Thing is, I don't really want to move to a custom android rom as miui has some neat features, like the scrolling screenshot, the whole applock and apphide with the home page gestures. Most of those custom implementations just don't feel as good as stock, so I'm staying on miui 11 in the hope that the next update will bring a lot of fixes. I tried MiRoom, but that one is even worse, with apps partially being chinese, system launcher FC after a clean install, etc.
For that price it's great. Sandwich made out of glass and aluminium feels good and the screen is pretty good.
