Maybe they were worried about background tasks being held up from the processing that the SoC has to do with image stabilization enabled. I simply think that Google did some performance tests with the feature on the Nexus 5X and for whatever reason they felt that it just wasn’t good enough. They are more interested in making profit from you using Google services on a Nexus device than actually selling them.

Google uses the Nexus program to showcase what they feel Android should be and that is as far as it goes. I feel that since Google sells so few Nexus devices that they aren’t motivated by profit from hardware like this. The cynic would tell you that Google just wanted to create a disparity of features between the Nexus 5X and the Nexus 6P to entice more people to buy the more expensive device. Like I said, there could be a number of reasons as to why Google decided not to put this feature in. Look Toward the Bottom and Make Sure ‘Enable Video Stabilization’ is Toggled On.Tap on the ‘Resolution & Quality’ Option.Tap the ‘Settings’ Option to Enter the Google Camera Settings.Wait Until You See the Toast Message Saying the File is Saved.Then Press Enter on the Keyboard to Create a New Line.Scroll All the Way Down to the Bottom of the Build.Prop File.Tap the Pencil Icon at the Bottom to Enable Edit Mode(or tap the 3-dot menu icon at the top right and press edit).

The Nexus 6P also has Electronic Image Stabilization, which is image stabilization for videos on the software level, since neither of these phones have hardware Optical Image Stabilization. This is a nice little feature and there have been a lot of interesting videos that have been created because of it.

The Nexus 6P has a video feature that lets you record slow motion video at 240 frames per second. Both the Nexus 5X and the Nexus 6P have the same rear-facing camera, but the 6P has more features than the 5X. The fingerprint scanner on the back, for example, are both the same pieces of hardware and perform exactly the same on the 5X and the 6P.Īnother piece of hardware that was the exact same is the image sensor on the back of the device. So it was natural to see the Nexus 6P get a better SoC and more RAM than its smaller brother, but we also saw some of the same hardware used in both of them. The Nexus 5X is a lower-priced smartphone(in the mid-range category), while the Nexus 6P is the premium Nexus smartphone for 2015(hence the P in the name). When Google announced the Nexus 5X and 6P, a lot of the hardware was the same and they both had a very similar set of features.
