Google Launched 'Nexus 5X' and 'Nexus 6P' Phones, Full Specs Revealed

The long wait is over as Google finally unveiled two new smart phones, the "Nexus 5X" and "Nexus 6P," with 5.2-inch and 5.7-inch screens respectively.

Nexus 5X from LG is an upper mid-range handset and the Huawei Nexus 6P is a top-end phablet. Both runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system, Expert Reviews reported.

Pre-orders are already open now but the handsets will be shipped in two to three weeks. Lead time differs on the kind of handset you choose. The 16GB Nexus 5X phone costs $379 while the 32GB version is priced at $429. Meanwhile, the Nexus 6P is available in 32GB, 64GB and 128GB versions priced at $499, $549 and $649, respectively, Tech 2 reported.

LG-made Nexus 5X has a Full HD LCD screen with a 1,920x1,080 resolution. It runs on a 6-core Snapdragon 808 chipset with a battery of 2,700mAh, which is bigger than most smart phones and has a longer battery life. It has 12.3 megapixels camera and a fingerprint sensor that can be used for Android Play and for security purposes.

Huawei's Nexus 6P features a black strip across the top that looks attractive. It has 5.7-inch AMOLED screen with a big 2,560x1,440 resolution. It is equipped with an eight-core Snapdragon 810 chipset, which is a common chipset for Android phones. Its camera is the same as Nexus 5X with 12.3-megapixel. Same as the other phone, it also has a fingerprint sensor.

A good thing about these two new devices is that they are the first to be released with the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow with improved key features that includes a better standby battery life and better fingerprint-reader support.

With Android M, there will be no skins or unwanted apps since the interface is changed from the basic Android. This also means that the "Nexus phones get Android updates as soon as they are available, rather than having to wait for your carrier and smart phone manufacturer to approve the updates, which can take months," Yahoo! Tech wrote.
