LG is making another Nexus: meet the Nexus 5X
The rumors are true: LG is back to build Google’s 5.2-inch Nexus 5X. Leaked repeatedly over the last few weeks, the specs aren’t much of a surprise — or outpacing the also just-announced Nexus 6P — but it’s still a powerhouse phone, featuring a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 CPU, 2GB of RAM and a 12.3MP rear camera with laser-assisted autofocus, dual flash that’s capable of shooting 4K video. It will ship with the latest version of Android, Marshmallow 6.0 and includes Google’s new Sensor Hub chip inside that keeps notifications and fitness stats up-to-date at all times without drawing a ton of power. It also has the new USB Type-C port for fast charging and syncing, while the fingerprint sensor on the back can instantly and securely provide access to the phone with Nexus Imprint. There’s a 2,700mAh battery inside, and it’s going to be available in both 16GB and 32GB versions with colors including black, white and ice blue. Nexus 5X pricing starts at $379, it will begin shipping in late October and two years of Nexus Protect coverage are available for $69.
