I am currently on a Nexus 5x with Sprint. The phone is decent but I'm being very encumbered by the 16GB limit. 32GB would be more than enough for me. My question is should I sell my 16GB 5X and buy a 32GB 5X or should I wait for the next generation of Nexus devices?

I do not play games on my phone and don't need the latest and greatest, the 5X is fast enough it seems. If I can sell my 16GB 5X then it should only cost about $100 to upgrade to a 32GB 5X. Major concern there is that the phone is only 2GB RAM. I would like to hang on to whatever device I have for the next couple years.

I guess I could also go for some other device, but I 100% want to root the phone, and the 5X at 5.2 inches is already too big for my hands, so I wouldn't want to go with anything larger.

I didn't like the 5x so I might be bias... but I would wait for the next Nexus which for sure will have 32GB Rom/ 3GB RAM as base and for me the build quality of the 5x is awful and any improvements are welcome.

For sure it will be more future profing with the SD820 ( or even if they used the 652 is better than 808 ) more RAM and UFS memory.

Do you not take photos with your Nexus 5X while running another app? The Nexus 5X has been probably the worst phone I've owned. I got rid of it after a month. I'd wait.

I have a 6P but would really like something the size of the 5x with high end specs and larger then 32 GB of storage

this x 1000. running a nexus 6, done with the big phones. want a better cam, good coverage, that's all. there are ways around storage, not a huge fan, but can be done.

No, I have no space for photos, didn't you see Im running out of room?

Seriously though I have had some annoying problems with the camera. You are correct.
