Dual phone launches are definitely a thing this year. Apple
launched both the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus just a few weeks ago, Samsung had the
Galaxy Note5 and the Galaxy S6 Edge launched at the same time and now its
Google’s turn with the announcement of the brand new Nexus 5X and 6P earlier
today.
The smaller of the two is the Nexus 5X which is made by LG.
It has a 5.2-inch IPS LCD display with Full HD resolution (424ppi) and is
protected by a layer of Gorilla Glass 3.
The innards is composed of a Snapdragon 808 chipset with a
hexa-core processor, 2GB of RAM, an Adreno 418 GPU and up to 32GB of non-expandable
internal storage.
A 12.3MP camera is situated at the back of the device that
features an f/2.0 aperture lens. The rear camera is capable of capturing 2160p
videos and adopts the laser-assisted autofocus technology from the G4. The
front camera has a 5MP sensor and an f/2.0 lens.
The Nexus 5X also has a 2700mAh battery, a fingerprint
sensor, NFC, Bluetooth v4.2, Wi-Fi ac, GPS/GLONASS, 3 microphones, a single
front-facing speaker and a microUSB Type-C port.
On the other end is the Nexus 6P which is made by Huawei.
The 6P is the first Nexus device with an all-metal body. It has a 5.7-inch
AMOLED display with QHD resolution.
The Nexus 6P has the same 12.3MP sensor at the back of the
5X but has an upgraded front-facing camera with an 8MP sensor in contrast to
the Nexus 5X’s 5MP camera.
Another department that’s getting the upgraded specs is the
chipset section. The Nexus 6P sports a Snapdragon 810 chip with 3GB of RAM and
up to 128GB of non-expandable internal storage. The battery has also been
bumped up to 3450mAh compared to the 5X’s 2700mAh cell.
Just like its smaller brother, the Nexus 6P will be using
the Type-C USB port, which in case you haven’t heard has that reversible
standard. Also, both phones will run the latest version of Android – Android 6.0
Marshmallow.
