The irony is many would be willing to pay $79 more to have the 6P specs/quality/finish in the 5X. Admittedly the 3450mAh battery would be a challenge to squeeze in that form factor, so 1080p might remain preferable, but you get the point. IMO it's a bit of a burn that Google asks us to settle for a lesser spec'd, cut corners, utilitarian device just because of size preference -- especially for a savings of only $79 @32gb.
I don't mind it. Specs are only #s on a sheet of paper. It's all about the user experience. So far, it's delivering for me.
