Google has finally, officially pulled unveiled its latest Nexus hardware, and unlike previous launches we actually have two Nexus phones at the same time. The Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X are both heading out to the market at once.

Though both phones are running Google’s latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system, the only thing setting them apart from one another is the hardware. The two phones are made by two different manufacturers — the Nexus 5X by LG, and the Nexus 6P by Huawei. This is Huawei’s first swing at a Nexus device, while LG has done two — the Nexus 4 and 5 — previously.

The Nexus 6P is the larger and higher-end device of the two. Despite the “6” in the Nexus 6P name, the phone is actually smaller than the Nexus 6 of 2014. The screen comes in at 5.7-inches, but is the same type of screen, AMOLED, as well as resolution, QHD (2560×1440). Its larger size lines up with its higher-end position of the two phones, with the internals rounding out to a Snapdragon 810 processor, 3GB of RAM and a base of 32GB of storage. You’ll get a 12.3MP camera on the back, and while it has large 1.55-micron pixels it lacks optical image stabilization (OIS). A 3450 mAh battery is powering it all, which is an interesting bump in size over the Nexus 6 considering the body itself is smaller.

The Nexus 5X is more in the line with the original Nexus 5 from 2013, with a smaller size, plastic exterior and a step down in hardware internals. The 5.2-inch screen comes in just a touch larger than the original Nexus 5, and keeps the same 1920×1080 resolution. The internals are just a slight step down from the Nexus 6P — a Snapdragon 808 processor, 2GB of RAM and a base of 16GB of storage. The camera here is also 12.3MP, and it has IR laser-assisted autofocus like the 6P to go along with a broad spectrum dual LED flash.

Specifications

Pricing

A big difference between the two when it comes to finally choosing one is the price. The Nexus 5X is marketed as the lower of the two, starting at $379 — add an extra $50 for double the storage. For the bigger (and more spec-heavy) Nexus 6P, you’ll be forking out $499 — add $50 for 64GB or $150 for 128GB of storage. Both prices seem fair and are definitely a step below the super high-priced offerings from other manufacturers that easily tip over the $600 price point for their base models, but the new Nexuses are hardly inexpensive themselves in a world of solid phones filling the sub-$250 price range as well.

According to the Google online store, the Nexus 5X price in India will start at Rs. 31,900 (for 16GB internal storage variant), while the 32GB variant will be priced at Rs. 35,900.

Nexus 6P price in India will start at Rs. 39,999 (for 32GB internal storage variant), while the 64GB Nexus 6P is priced at Rs. 42,999.
