The Nexus 6P will hit markets later this month and in Japan, Google’s latest smartphone will be sold exclusively through the carrier Softbank. Earlier, Google’s “brain” team behind the new Nexus phones took part in an “Ask Me Anything” forum on Reddit where they were asked, not surprisingly, the same question. If the device isn’t listed, users need to ensure their Nexus device already has its USB debugging option enabled under Settings. Google also has extra Nexus 6P, 5X covers on the site. The company calls the fingerprint scanner the Nexus Imprint and claims that it is a seamless way of authenticating with the sensor requiring less than 600 milliseconds to recognise a fingerprint.

The answer to this question lies in what you value more in your phone.

The Mate S, on the other hand, has a 5.5-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels and density of 401 pixels per inch. The Nexus Player is set to receive Android 6.0 in the U.S. only. For people who already love their iPhone or the Nexus 5, the choice is pretty much clear. The dimensions are 159.3 X 77.8 X 7.3 mm and it weighs 178 g.

Google said it was partnering with South Korea’s LG for its 5.2-inch screen Nexus 5X, and with China’s Huawei for its “phablet” sized 5.7-inch Nexus 6P.

There is rumor that the new Nexus 5X will come with a Snapdragon 808 chipset and a RAM of either 2GB or 3GB. It has 2 GB LPDDR3 RAM.

“We wanted to show the Android in the context of a premium experience”. Google says it will help reduce power consumption on the smartphone. The device comes equipped with a 12 megapixel rear camera with 4K resolution video support.

Both the new Nexus smartphones would be the first smartphones to ship with the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box.

GOOGLE fired back at Apple on Tuesday with a pair of new smartphones, a “convertible” tablet and other gadgetry ahead of the year-end holiday shopping season. Google makes Android mobile software available free to device makers, but makes its Nexus line to showcase capabilities of the operating system.
