I'm happy about"doze" (although I wish it was configurable) and mostly about the USB type C connector finally making it to the phones, even if it prevents ultra-slim devices from being able to have it. It's otherwise really cool - it's also reversible like the Apple connector, but much more conveniently implemented due to being easier to plug it in.
That said, personally I almost dropped wired charging - I have a wireless charger at home and on my desk, it's super convenient as instead of random place on the desk I just place my phone on the charging thingy and that's all. Apart from traveling I don't remember the last time I ran out of battery since it's almost constantly around 80-100%.
The Nexus phones.. dunno. The 5X is not fully a spiritual successor of the N5. Actually, the original N5 came with cutting edge processor at that time, while the N5X comes with an old processor that nobody wants to use in their phones anymore but has no choice until a few months from now. If the N5X was what the N5 was back in the day it would come with the Snapdragon 820 - then it'd be the same story, and the phone would be twice as fast as anything else on the market, which was the case with the N5.
In the meantime, the N5X comes with an overheating, power draining, underpowered 808 on an old process, which lags ~40% both in performance and battery efficiency behind the 8-month old Exynos that even Chinese makers like Xiaomi use these days.
Props for not going with marketing and using the inframous 810, which is made on an even more ancient process though, Huawei went there on the N6P though.
Also they dropped the camera OIS and wireless charger - all those things that were major points for the original N5. Only the maker and size are the same. I think even the design of the original N5 was nicer, the N5X looks cheaper but it's not ( retail price-wise only). Still despite all of that it's not a bad phone, just not as big of a thing as the prior Nexus phones were. And it's still the better one of the two, compared with the 6P, which is just a bad deal.
