Amazon has listed the specs and color options for Google's unannounced Nexus 5X. The smartphone will ship with Android 6.0 Marshmallow and sport a 5.2-inch 1080p display.
LG and Google are planning their answer to Apple's just-released iPhone 6s Plus in the high-end phablets market. LG is expected to announce the LG V10 at a press event scheduled for October 1. The device is rumored to include a secondary "ticker" display that will be used for shortcuts and notifications, separate from the main display.
A few days before LG's event, Google is set to launch its latest Nexus smartphone and phablet, alongside the official release of Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Google is believed to have partnered with Huawei – replacing Motorola – in building the Nexus 6P. Leaked images of the device have shown that it will be made of aluminum and have a slightly protruding rear camera, in addition to a 2560 x 1440 Quad HD display.
While the Nexus 6P will battle it out with the iPhone 6s Plus, Google isn't forgetting about the segment of smartphone owners who prefer a more pocketable device. The Nexus 5X has already leaked several times and images have confirmed that LG has been chosen once again to build a Nexus smartphone for Google.
Amazon has joined in on the leaks, listing the LG Nexus 5X on its site in India before quickly removing the page.
The listing matches previous reports that claim the Nexus 5X will feature a 5.2-inch 1920 x 1080 Full HD display with a pixel density of 423 pixels per inch (ppi). The device will run Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box and will be powered by a 1.8GHz Qualcomm hexa core processor, 2 GB of RAM, and include 16 GB of internal storage (model listed).
The handset will pack in a 12.3-megapixel rear camera and 5-megapixel front-facing shooter for selfies and video chat. The smartphone will reportedly be offered in Ice Blue, Charcoal Black and Quartz White.
We'll know the full details of both the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P on September 29 — until then, we'll be sure to keep you posted on any new Nexus news.
