<\/a>\nIt comes in a very cute small square box.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n \n \n Then, there’s the USB-C cable and the charger. \n \nThe tiny, shiny circle with a pin at the end lets you pop up the SIM card holder from the phone. I was also able to use this same one to pop out the SIM card holder for my old Moto X 2013. \n \n \n \n I haven’t had a ton of time to play around with the phone yet, but the camera seems good (I haven’t tried it in low light yet, though), and the fingerprint sensor is indeed fast in terms of responsiveness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Useless Backstory: Moto X to Nexus 5x My by far favorite Android phone since 2009 has been the Moto X 2013. Indeed, if it were not for its subpar camera, I would say it is, even now, still the best Android phone.

\nOnce you get the cover off, the front of the box has a logo that’s supposed to be an X<\/em>, I suppose.
\n<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nYou can open the box without scissors. It’s taped down on only one side of the square.

\nLG took a cue from IKEA and put in some cryptic wordless instructions. The phone itself comes in a translucent sleeve, which is really just for show (my Moto X 2013 came with a screen protector on it, which I used for two full years and never had to buy a third-party protector to replace it with).\n<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nBeneath the phone is a playing card that tells you you get a 90-day trial for Google Play Music. There’s also a small Safety + Warranty booklet.\n<\/p>\n

\nHere is the Nexus 5x next to my Moto X 2013. The Nexus 5x is enormous compared to my old phone, which I’m a bit sad about. I really wanted a new Nexus phone, and the Nexus 5x is smaller than the 6p, so I opted for the 5x, but it’s still huge!
\n
\n<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nI didn’t do any actual measurements, but the phone thickness seems okay, It’s more flat than curved but about the same thickness as the Moto X 2013.

\nAnother gratuitous “Why is this phone so big?!” shot.<\/p>\n
