Google is launching major updates for the Nexus phone, Pixel line, and its widely-used Android operating system, the company announced on Tuesday.
Nexus 5X
Let’s start with updates to the Nexus line of phones. The 5X, made by LG, is now the flagship phone and touts specs that should satisfy consumers looking for a sub-$400 Nexus phone. That includes a 5.2-inch 1080p (1,920 x 1,080) display with Gorilla Glass 3, 12-megapixel camera with “massive” pixels for higher-quality photos, 4K video recording and a USB Type-C charging connector. The new USB connector – which is much smaller than a typical USB connector and much easier to plug in – is being adopted for a host of new devices including the 12-inch Retina MacBook and new Chromebook Pixel. The Nexus 5X ships with Android 6.0 Marshmallow starts at $379 and preorders begin immediately with shipments later in October.
Nexus 6P
This is Google’s top-of-the-line phone and is the first all-metal-body (using aeronautical-grade aluminum) Nexus phone and was built “in collaboration” with Huawei, according to Google. Its 5.7-inch screen fits into a chassis about the size of the iPhone 6s Plus. Since the iPhone 6s Plus has a smaller 5.5-inch screen, Google is claiming a more efficient physical design. That screen is a WQHD (2,560 x 1,440) based on AMOLED technology. For those keeping track, Samsung is best known for its stunning AMOLED displays on its Galaxy line of phones. Apple opts for cutting-edge LCD displays. Like the Nexus 5X, it also has a USB Type-C port for fast charging and a 12.3 MP camera. Other salient specs include a speedy Qualcomm 64-bit processor, 3GB of RAM, and Android 6.0 Marshmallow. It starts at $499 with 32GB of storage and shipments will begin in October.
