Google sends out invites for September 29 event
A much more plausible explanation is that Google is addressing one of the Nexus range’s principal problems, in the form of its highly ambiguous naming convention.
The boxes themselves are quite nondescript, especially the one that’s for the Nexus 5X, the one supposedly made by LG.
Traditionally, Google has always crammed top-notch tech into its Nexus hardware, packaging it up at an attractive price point to boot.
It’s the first time Huawei has manufactured a Nexus handset, even though the Chinese company makes Android-based models, and the third such foray for LG, including the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 units. Past reports have suggested that the Nexus 5X will also come with 16GB of storage while the Nexus 6P will be sold in 64GB and 128GB options.
Google is believed to be readying two new smartphones to launch on September 29th. I think we might find the Huawei’s P8 camera on Nexus, it received a lot of praise and Nexus phones are lacking a bit in that department.
Now paying $300 for the previous year Nexus is a steal by any measure.
On September 29, Google has an event in San Francisco to which the press has been invited.
If you’re on the lookout for a great deal on an Android smartphone with premium specs but a decent price, the Nexus 6 is now available on eBay for only $299.
The mock-up for the Huawei Nexus 6 as made at Phandroid. Nexus devices have never been huge sellers in terms of volume; they’re primarily done to set an example of what a “pure” Android device can be so that there is a baseline of expectations. Leaked images of the LG variant’s back-plate shows a white paint job, a large lens and a flash.
As for microSD support for memory expansion, it still remains unclear whether Google’s new devices will have this.
Huawei’s version is expected to have a with a 2,560×1,440-pixel resolution and a metal body.
As for the rest of the details, we do know that there is a fingerprint reader on the back along with a USB Type C connector at the bottom. We’re not quite sure what to make of the Nexus 6P at the moment but are interested to see what you think so sound off below. Previously, CDMA carriers did not activate the Nexus 6 unless it was purchased directly from them or from Google Play, but the issue has been resolved, so buyers won’t likely have problems.
Both smartphones will run on Google’s new Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS and this will be the first time that Huawei will be making a Nexus device.
