(Di Digital / San Francisco) Google is not good at selling hardware. Yet it launched two new Nexus models during a press event on Tuesday evening – Nexus 5X in collaboration with LG and Nexus 6P with Huawei.
The two phones have similar functionality, but differ in size. 5X is the smaller 5.2 inch screen and 6P the larger 5.7 inch screen. It is larger than Apple’s latest mobile iPhone 6S, that is 4.7 inch, but on each side of Apple 6S Plus and 6P is as large as the market mobile manufacturer Samsung latest Note 5 and new S6 Edge +.
Mobile phones also get a fingerprint reader, Nexus imprint, at the back that can also be used for payment of Android Pay and Google Play Store.
Google has bet on a better and more light-sensitive camera with 12.3 megapixels, that is 0.3 more than in both the iPhone 6S, and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge +.
Nexus 6P comes with so called “USB Type-C” to the charge, a new reversible cable that charges gadgets faster.
Nexus phones will be sold in Google Play Store and on operators outside the United States. Nexus 5X start at $ 379, about SEK 3 200 for the 16GB and Nexus 6P for $ 499, about 4200 crowns. Which is significantly less expensive than iPhones 6S which costs from $ 649, about 5400 crowns.
