Google Event: Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P Announced With Marshmallow

Google has finally announced its long-awaited (and constantly leaked) Nexus devices along with a whole lot of other goodies in a press event today.

After months and months of leaks, the search giant has finally unveiled its new lineup of Nexus phones for this year. As expected, the new Nexus-es are called the 5X and the 6P, and are made by LG and Huawei respectively. Both the phones are marketed as high-end devices but the 6P is clearly the beefier one, also costing more than the other.

The LG-made Nexus 5X comes with a 5.2 inch display, a 2700 mAh battery, a 64-bit processor and weighs a pretty reasonable 136 grams, while the Nexus 6P has a 5.7-inch WQHD AMOLED display and a pretty sturdy-looking anodized aluminium body. The Huawei one is also the thinner one at just 7.3 mm thick and has a slightly better camera, touting laser auto-focus. Both the phones come with a quick fingerprint sensor, titled “Nexus Imprint” and USB-C.

The Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X will retail unlocked for $499 and $379 respectively from the Google Play Store, starting from late-October. The 6P is available in aluminium, frost-white and graphite colors while the Nexus 5X comes in

And of course, both the Nexuses come boasting the all-new Android 6.0 Marshmallow, which comes with some software improvements and a couple of handy little features. There’s the Now On Tap functionality, which lets you allow Google to scan any screen on Android to give you some detailed info about it.
