New Nexus phones surface at FCC with clues to features, carrier support
Over the weekend Google’s new Nexus devices surfaced in the FCC database just ahead of their anticipated launch announcement tomorrow. Both the LG manufactured Nexus 5X and the Huawei manufactured Nexus 6P have passed through their FCC certification. One big piece of information that can be gleaned from the information is that the devices have support for all wireless bands, both CDMA and GSM, meaning they should work on any of the major U.S. carriers including Verizon.
Along with the versions of the devices that appear to be headed for the U.S. market, the FCC also approved international versions of each device. For the Nexus 5X, it appears the battery will not be removable. On the international model, it looks like LG may have at least tested wireless charging as well, so it may be possible the Nexus 5X will support that feature.
The Nexus 6P may have a little surprise as well as there are some references to micro SD card slots in the FCC materials. It is not not clear whether the actual device available to consumers will have a micro SD slot so users can upgrade their own memory, but Huawei and Google appear to have at least considered this option.
