Loving my New Nexus 6 Even More Now! Tried to replace it with a 5X, didn't happen!

Hello,
So I have had my Nexus 6 for about 2 months now. I really liked it right out of box. The display, speakers, everything! (Also first Android / Nexus device, coming from a long line of iPhones) So I originally had a 32GB Midnight Blue. I did have a minor issue with it, and ended up getting Motorola to replace it with a Brand New 64GB Cloud White. (LONG story) I now like my Nexus 6 even more than I already did! I love the Cloud White! I think it looks awesome with the Silver Frame and White Back. Especially in my Ringke Fusion case.

There is more to this though. I kept wondering about the new Nexus 5X and 6P. Not a fan of the 6P appearance or Huawei in general. I was however interested in the 5X. For some stupid reason, I felt like I had to give it a shot!
So I seen that Amazon had them up for sale now. (actually shipped and sold by Amazon) Knowing how awesome Amazon is with returns, I gave one a go.
So, first I will say that I think the 5X is pretty nice. It is Unique in its own way. I liked the design, fingerprint sensor, and the camera. It worked great! I had zero issues with any lag or yellowish displays that I seen in reviews / complaints. But in the end, I couldn't make the switch, and I sent it back.
I just could not go from the 5.96" Amoled Display to the 5.2" LCD. Don't get me wrong, the display on the 5X is pretty damn good. If I had went straight from my iPhone 6 to the 5X I would have loved it! Going from a 4.7" LCD to a 5.2" LCD would have been a nice upgrade. The Nexus 6 ruined it for me though! It is my first Phablet and first Amoled phone.
When I put the 6 next to the 5X, the colors and blacks were WAY better on the 6. However, the whites were WHITE on the 5X, were the 6 has that TINY cream tint. Long story short, in my opinion, it was not worth it to me trading a 5.96" AMOLED display and dual stereo speakers for a Fingerprint Sensor, USB C, and better camera.

So here I sit with my Nexus 6. It is good to know that I won't have to worry about considering a new phone for about a year. (I am officially a Nexus lifer) I will see what Google has on offer next year, but it will take a hell of a phone to get me to want to switch.

PS: I also realized that I was trying to compare and justify switching from a phone that was originally $650 to a phone that was originally $430.... I should have known better.
