Big phones may be normal these days, but there are still people who long for a "normal" sized phone.
Google's Nexus 5X and its 5.2-inch display is here to satisfy those who want a phone that can be comfortably used with one hand and can fit into their pocket without a huge bulge.
Small phones aren't extinct yet, but they are rare. Here's how the Nexus 5X compares with the iPhone 6S, Samsung Galaxy S6/S6 Edge, HTC One M9 and Sony Xperia Z5 Compact.
While you're comparing the phones, remember that while specs tell one part of the story, it's not the only thing that matters. Nexus phones run stock Android, don't come with any bloatware and are the first devices to get the latest updates to Android. The Nexus 5X also starts at an incredibly low $379 price unlocked.
