LG Nexus 5X won’t come with a cable that plugs into traditional USB ports
It looks like the only cable the LG-made Nexus 5X will be shipping with is a USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable instead of a USB Type-C to USB Type-A (the traditional USB port), the latter being the cable that lets you plug your USB Type-C smartphone into your USB Type-A computer.
It’s strange as to why Google is omitting this from the LG Nexus 5X package, considering that both cables ship with the Huawei Nexus 6P. USB Type-C isn’t very popular in the present. It’s a technology of the future, and as such, not many have adapted to the new port type.
This’ll be frustrating for those who want to plug their Nexus 5X into their computer for charging or other means. To do so, they’ll need to go out separetly and buy a USB-C to USB-A cable, which doesn’t cost much starting at around $12 from the Google Store, but is a serious hassle.
In other words, if you’re picking up a Nexus 5X and want to plug it into your computer, your going to need to buy a new cable.
