Google confirms Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P launch date for India

Google has practically confirmed the launch date of the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P to be October 13 for India, but it’s not clear if the handsets will hit market availability on the same day. Although the tech giant hasn’t named the two phones in the invites it has sent out to the media for an event in New Delhi, there are strong indications that the new Nexus lineup will be unveiled. But there’s no big reveal left since we already know the price tags and the specifications of both devices.

Out of the pair, the Nexus 6P is the premium model. The fact that Huawei bagged the deal to manufacture it spells good things for the Chinese company which has been trying hard to establish a presence in major markets outside its home country. And Google will finally have stock Android on a flagship smartphone made by a brand originating from China. The tech giant has been finding it hard to crack the market there in terms of app revenues due to strict censorship laws and the majority of handsets running on forked versions of its OS.

Nexus 5X And Nexus 6P

The Google Nexus 6P is made of metal and powered by none other than Android 6.0 Marshmallow. It gets its sting from a 2GHz 64-bit octa core Snapdragon 810 v2.1 processor, 3GB RAM and a 3450mAh battery. Its front panel is taken up by a 5.7-inch 1440 x 2560p Quad HD display and an 8MP camera. Flip the device over and you’ll see a 12.3MP camera on the back. The phone comes in three memory capacities of 32GB, 64GB and 128GB. It sports a USB Type-C port and offers the expected connectivity features like 4G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC and GPS.
