Besides its Nexus phones, Google also began selling upgrades to its Chromecast video-streaming device and a new Chromecast model that can be plugged into speakers to play music from a phone or an Internet service.
This one comes in 32GB, 64GB and 128GB variants, also packs micro USB type C and has a 12.3MP primary camera, with a 8MP front camera.
The Nexus 5X, produced with LG, is built around a 1.8 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor and offers a 5.2-in full HD IPS display, 2 GB of RAM, 16 or 32 GB of storage.
Both smartphones have new camera technology in the front and rear cams that promises to deliver better performance with a faster action, plus a new USB-C connector and fingerprint scanners. This Google Nexus phone was unveiled yesterday and has top-flight specs and the same display size as the Note 5.
Nexus 5X runs Android M as does Nexus 6P. The Android Pay wireless payment feature of the Android 6.0 can allow users to secure transactions through a fingerprint sensor present on Nexus devices like the Nexus 5X, the Nexus 6P and the Nexus 6. Google specifically say that the keyboard attaches without a “docking mechanism” with the idea that it’s much quicker and more seamless to switch between laptop and tablet modes.
The Mountain View, Calif.-based company is expected to launch two new smartphones that will update its Nexus 5 and the larger-screen Nexus 6.
The 6P will start at $499 for the 32GB and will start shipping out to customers in October unlocked and without a contract.
