Google Nexus 6P and 5X gallery

The new device will reportedly be launched in November, but Google is likely to announce it at its big event in San Francisco on September 29.

While Nexus 6P is a flagship smartphone made by Huawei, Google is rekindling its partnership with LG by reviving the most popular Nexus smartphone, Nexus 5. As expected, Google did not announce details of when its partners will roll out the update – manufacturers and carriers will reveal their own plans in the weeks and months ahead.

Google engineering director Andrei Popescu said: “The Nexus devices are our idea of embodiment of the perfect  Android device – a platform for application developers to show off the new features of Marshmallow and show what Android can do”.

An open question is what this announcement means for the Nexus line of tablets – will there be any more, or will all future Android tablets are part of the Pixel series? However, while the device has been built with keyboard functionality in mind, the keyboard isn’t bundled-in and costs an extra $149. The camera also has an infrared-based autofocus system, and a new feature called Smartburst, which is essentially a burst mode for the camera that captures 30 photos per second, and is great for things like GIFs.

Of the two phones, the Nexus 5X is a smaller phone.

Google has launched the successor to the widely popular LG Nexus 5 with the LG Nexus 5X and the Motorola Nexus 6 with the Huawei Nexus 6P.

Chief amongst the new features is a 12.3 megapixel imaging sensor made by Sony, which is included in both phones. Under the hood is Snapdragon 810 octa-core processor, Adreno 430 GPU combined with 3GB RAM and storage options of 32GB, 64GB and 128GB. The 6P, which is available for pre-order with several offers, is priced at $499 for a 32GB model and will start shipping in October.

This Android device got its name from its stunning display – a 308 ppi screen with 2560 x 1800 resolution, measuring in at 10.2 inches.

Nexus Protect is available starting Tuesday in the U.S., with availability for other countries coming later.
