The ‘X’ in Nexus 5X and ‘P’ in Nexus 6P actually have meanings behind them
Googler Hiroshi Lockheimer and other members on the team that brought us the latest Nexus devices took to a Reddit AMA, revealing that the “X” in Nexus 5X and “P” in Nexus 6P actually aren’t just meaningless characters.
Lockheimer says that “X” stands for the core of the Nexus brand and that the “P” stands for premium, thus the Huawei 6P being the higher-end model of the two devices. And now, the mystery has been solved!

Google’s Hiroshi Lockheimer details why the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P lack wireless charging
There’re a few frustrating aspects about the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P, with a lack of wireless charging being one of them. Google’s Hiroshi Lockheimer has taken to “the front page of the Internet,” or reddit, to reveal the thought process behind that decision.
The decision to bring wireless charging to the Nexus lineup in 2012 was that microUSB was frustrating, and wireless charging was a way around that. With the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P equipped with a USB Type-C port, that frustration has been dealt with, and thus, no need for wireless charging.
That brings up another question: why not just leave wireless charging in? Well, it also has to do with the Z axis–the thickness of the device. Basically, Google saw USB Type-C and wireless charging as redundant, and thus, opted for a thinner device. When it comes down to it, the crowd that Google is aiming the two new Nexus devices at probably wouldn’t have minded a little more thickness in trade for wireless charging, but Google didn’t see it that way.
And that’s how wireless charging was left out. Head on over to the AMA for more juicy Nexus details!

First camera samples of the Nexus 6P appear on Google+
Google used a chunk of time in its presentation on Tuesday to emphasize the improvements made to the camera sensor on the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P. Today on Google+, we found the first camera samples of the Nexus 6P.
With the camera sensor on the new Nexus devices, Google included a megapixel boost to 12.3. In addition, the company raved about the handset’s ability to take good low light shots and focus faster than ever. Rather than including optical image stabilization (OIS), the company increased the size of the camera sensor to 1.55 micron pixels, which will make for the majority of improvements. Many were upset with the lack of OIS, but Google promised photos taken on these devices will be like no other. Earlier today, the Nexus 6P camera landed a top 3 spot on DxOMark. We found this to extremely impressive. Here’s a first look of some shots taken on the new Nexus 6P, courtesy of Romain Guy on Google+.

Huawei Mate S vs Ascend Mate 7
Last year saw Huawei introduced its first all-metal big-screen smartphone with the Mate 7, which brought a stylish design and unique single-touch fingerprint sensor. Fast forward a year and Huawei introduced the Mate S at IFA, bringing an updated design and second-generation fingerprint scanner, but how do these two devices compare? That’s exactly what we aim to find out in this quick look at the new Huawei Mate S vs the Ascend Mate 7.
Design
Although it has a frameless display, the Mate 7 is definitely one of the larger smartphones on the market and even though I have large hands, I find it difficult to use in one hand. With the Mate S, Huawei has made its latest flagship smaller and more manageable, resulting in a much improved in-hand experience.
The Mate 7 brought a design that’s atypical of Huawei devices and, although it’s been tweaked a little, the Mate S mostly follows the same design. Huawei says both smartphones have frameless displays and while this is somewhat true, both devices come with an on-screen bezel that reduced the available screen real estate.

The back of the Mate S is slightly curved and a key change in the Mate S is the depth of the curve, with the new flagship curving at a higher gradient. This results in the Mate S feeling a lot better in the hand and has also allowed Huawei to make the handset just 2.65mm thick at its thinnest point, although it is 7.2mm thick in the middle.
Both devices have the power and volume keys on the right, along with the SIM tray on the right. On the Mate 7, the SIM and microSD card trays are separate while on the Mate S, these have been combined into one tray, like on the Huawei Honor 7. Beneath the camera on the back, Huawei has also added the fingerprint sensor, and while some people may not like the fact that it’s on the back, the sensor is positioned so it sits where you finger naturally does.

Up top, we’ve got the headphone jack and microphone, while at the bottom, both devices have the micro USB 2.0 port. On the Mate 7, the single mono speaker is located on the back but in the Mate S, Huawei has moved to a dual speaker for the first time on a flagship. The new speakers are much louder and offer an immersive experience, this time located on the bottom.
The Mate 7 design was certainly unique and in the year that’s passed, we’ve seen Huawei refine the design further. The Mate S may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s certainly a unique and stylish metal design that is different thananything else on the market.
Display
Another key change is in the display technology. The Mate 7 sports a 6-inch IPS display, while the Mate S offers a smaller and more vibrant 5.5-inch AMOLED panel. Both screens sport Full HD resolution and while there are better Quad HD and 4K displays on the market, Full HD is more than good enough for most users.
While the Mate 7 screen is certainly no slouch, the switch to AMOLED means the Mate S offers more vibrant and saturated colours and deep blacks. The smaller display also means a higher 401ppi density, compared with 368ppi on the Mate 7, and this certainly shows.
Huawei also have a luxury version of the Mate S, which comes with the world’s first Force Touch smartphone display, but this will only be available in certain markets and has a limited feature set that includes magic buttons and the ability to weigh a piece of fruit on the screen (yes, really). Overall, while the Mate S screen isn’t the best on the market, it does offer an impressive experience and will be sure to satisfy most users.
Hardware & Performance
Like most flagship devices, both the Mate 7 and Mate S are equipped with a range of features that we’ve come to expect from the best devices on the market.
Both handsets are powered by Huawei’s own octa-core Kirin processor and while the Mate 7 users the older Kirin 925 clocked at 1.8GHz, the Mate S uses the new Kirin 935 clocked at 2.2GHz. The newer chipset and faster clock speed, coupled with improved software, result in a smoother experience on the Mate S. A key problem with the Kirin is the graphics performance and while the Mali T628 GPU does improve graphics and gaming on the Mate S, the experience is still subpar compared to other similarly priced flagships.
The Mate 7 comes in two storage versions; the entry-level, which we have, has 2GB RAM and 16GB storage while the premium version comes with 32GB storage and 3GB RAM. The Mate S comes with 3GB RAM as standard and either 32GB, 64GB or 128GB storage. If you’re after the Force Touch display, this is limited to just the 128GB model and whichever model you buy, you can expand it using a microSD card.
On the back, both have Huawei’s trademark one-touch square fingerprint sensor and this is where a year has made a really big difference. The Mate 7 let you unlock your phone just by tapping the sensor and in the Mate S, Huawei have not only made this feature faster but also added gesture support to let you access the camera, take a selfie, pull down your notifications drawer or bring up the recent apps menu. The key thing that sets the sensor apart from other devices is that you can unlock your phone by tapping the sensor and you don’t need to press a button to wake the device like on other flagship devices.
As far as phablets go, battery is a big part of the experience and while the original phablets bought large batteries, we’ve noticed companies make smartphone batteries smaller. Huawei is no different and the Mate 7 offered a 4100 mAh battery that was simply outstanding, while the Mate S brings a much smaller 2700 mAh. Given that the Mate 7 battery can last a good two days between charges, it’s likely the Mate S battery life has been reduced massively. The big battery on the Mate 7 meant it takes a long time to charge to full but quick charging on the Mate S means it takes less than two hours to fully charge an empty battery.
Both handsets offer expandable storage and Huawei says the microSD card slot also doubles up as a secondary SIM slot. On the Mate 7 however, our version doesn’t have dual SIM support but this is available in select markets. On the Mate S, dual SIM is included in all variants and lets you use two SIM cards at once, each with their own 4G connection. Huawei is using a clever dual antenna system to get around its metal build and this means the handset can intelligently switch between antennae, depending on which is offering the best reception. As a result, high data speeds, a reliable connection and great cell coverage all come as standard on the Mate S.
Software
If there’s any area where Huawei does itself no favours, it is the software and it’s also where these two devices differ considerably. A key criticism of Huawei is lack of future platform upgrades and a year after launch, the Mate 7 is still using KitKat with the Lollipop update nowhere to be seen.
The Mate S runs the Lollipop update with Emotion UI v3.1 out of the box and while this is the same version of EMUI found in the Huawei P8, the software experience has been heavily improved. The bugs and glitches found in the P8 are no more and Huawei has also tweaked and added a few new features.
The Knuckle Screenshot now lets you draw a letter to launch an app, with default ones being c to launch the camera and e to launch the web browser. You can also customise the shortcuts to launch apps you use frequently. Emotion UI also comes with new themes that change accent and UI colours to match the colour of the handset you have.
Yes, Huawei is particularly slow at updating its devices and you may be waiting a while for the Marshmallow update on the Mate S, but the software experience is a lot better than on past Huawei devices. It’s a smooth interface and, aside from a missing app drawer and a fair amount of preloaded bloatware, it’s actually pretty usable.
Camera
The camera on the Mate 7 was something of a let down, as the lack of stabilisation meant you had to keep the handset completely still to ensure the final image wasn’t blurry. Both devices offer 13MP sensors but the addition of OIS in the Mate S means this is a smartphone camera that mostly keeps up with some very good competition.
They say that cameras are about more than just megapixels and this is certainly true with the Mate S, which shows just what OIS can do to overall images. Now, most – if not all – images you capture are sharp and vibrant and effective stabilisation means you can now leave the shutter open for as long as a ¼ of a second and still have crisp photos. This shutter speed tops most smartphones and the addition of a pro mode lets the budding professional photographers customise all manor of settings including ISO, white balance, focus, shutter speed and aperture.
The front of the Mate 7 sports a 5MP selfie camera that can take 720p video while the Mate S brings a much better 8MP sensor that can shoot Full HD video and has a soft-light to help lighten the scene when you’re taking a selfie. While a selfie flash certainly isn’t new, it does make a difference to selfies you take and any you do take can also be tweaked using Huawei’s beauty level modes.
Overall, Huawei isn’t known for making the best camera but the company has improved things with its latest flagship, which brings the same improvements found in the impressive Huawei P8 and Honor 7 cameras. While it doesn’t top the LG G4 and Samsung’s new Galaxy S6 and Note smartphones, it certainly is up there with other flagship devices.
Price & Final Thoughts
The Mate S has a price of €649 for the 32GB or £469 in the UK, while the Mate 7 has dropped in price significantly and can be picked up for around £280 for the 16GB version. The 32GB version of the Mate S comes in either Titanium Grey or the Mystic Champagne silver version we have, while the 64GB version comes in either Luxurious Gold or Cobalt Pink.

At almost half the price of the Mate S, the Mate 7 is certainly an interesting handset but the Mate S does have enough improvements to warrant the additional cost. What do you think and which handset would you pick? Let us know your views in the comments below guys!
Did you know you can finance the Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X?
There’s a change coming to the mobile industry. One of the little known things that happened when Apple announced the new iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus is that the Cupertino-based company itself is willing to finance either device to you–installment payments, just like you’d find on a carrier.
Another little known fact is that Google is actually doing the same thing with its Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P. Those interested in purchasing one can choose whether to buy it outright or finance it for 24 months.
An important thing to note is that this is only for Project Fi customers. Fi customers will be able to finance the base model of the Nexus 5X for a meager $15.79 per month or the 128GB Nexus 6P for $27.04 per month. All you have to do is pay sales tax and shipping costs upfront. And as a carrier will let you do, you can pay off the remaining balance of your device at any time if you don’t want to go through the full 24 months.
Those of you interested just have to head on over to the Project Fi website, click on “Your plan” and then “Upgrade device” to get the process started! It’ll be interesting to see if Google will ever extend this option to all of its customers. What’ll be more intriguing is seeing more manufactures like Samsung, LG, and HTC move to offering something like this.
Anyone plan on financing a Nexus 5X or Nexus 6P?

Huawei Honor 6 and 6 Plus now receiving Android 5.1 Lollipop across Europe
Following an extensive beta test in France, Germany and the Netherlands over the past few months, Huawei has finally announced that its Honor 6 and 6 Plus smartphones in Europe are getting the update to Android 5.1 Lollipop. Not only will the software update bring the latest version of Huawei’s custom software overlay EMUI 3.1, it should also include better Wi-Fi connectivity, better notification management, a convenient one-handed mode and device protection functionality. Overall, the Honor 6 and 6 Plus should be much more responsive and reliable after this update.

If you’d like to take a better look at what EMUI 3.1 will look like on your device, be sure to check out our full review of the Huawei Mate S. Despite the fact that there’s no application drawer, we quite like Huawei’s custom software UI. And with the added benefits that Android 5.1 Lollipop brings to the table, we’re sure many Honor 6 and 6 Plus owners will be happy with this new update.
The updates should be available now, so head to your Settings menu to check for the latest version. And when you get the update, be sure to let us know what you think in the comment section below.
Nexus 6P can also be purchased via Huawei’s online store
While the Google Nexus 6 was offered directly through all major US carriers, the Nexus 6P has opted out of the carrier race in the US. Instead, the main source for buying the Nexus 6P is directly from the Google Store. Those who want to buy elsewhere, however, will have the option of getting it directly from Huawei’s online store.

As you’d imagine, the pricing is the same through Huawei as it is through Google, but there are a few things to note before deciding whether to turn to Huawei over Google for the purchase. First, Huawei isn’t offering the 128GB model or the white model in any storage configuration. You also don’t get Nexus Protect as an option, and only standard shipping (5 to 7 days) is available. Also worth noting, Huawei doesn’t seem to offer up the Google Play gift card or music benefits you get when buying from the Google Store.

On the plus side, shipping is free through Huawei, and while taxes are charged in 45 states by Google, Huawei only charges tax in a few (California, Illinois, and perhaps a couple others). Huawei also offers a financing plan that isn’t tied to any carrier.
To pre-order the Nexus 6P from Huawei, you’ll want to head on over to their website. How about it, planning on making the purchase? If so, will you be going through Google, Huawei, or are you waiting/hoping to see it make its way to a few other retailers before deciding whether or not to purchase?
Googlers share impressive 240-fps slow-mo video and photos shot with Nexus 6P
The new Nexuses check a lot of the right marks, including an attractive design, a fast fingerprint sensor, and a friendly price tag (well, not so much in Europe or India). But the feature that’s got us really excited is the camera shared between the Nexus 5X and 6P, featuring a 12.3 MP sensor with large 1.55-micron pixels and laser-assisted autofocus.
We already knew that the Nexus 6P camera does a great job in real world testing, thanks to the experts at DxOMark, who ranked the Huawei-made smartphone on the second place in their top of the best smartphone cameras. DxOMark praised the “impressive detail preservation in low light conditions,” calling the Nexus 6P the best device it ever tested in this regard.
But how about some real samples of the Nexus 6P in action? Googlers to the rescue.
Former Android engineer Romain Guy, who is currently working on a different, undisclosed project at Google, shared a gallery of shots he took with the Nexus 6P.

/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
Romain is a skilled and gifted photographer and these images have been post-processed to a degree, but the quality of the Nexus 6P camera definitely shines through. Some of the low light shots do show some graininess, but the scenes are never smudgy or blurry. Plus, Romain explained in this Reddit thread that he boosted the brightness of some of the shots in the phone’s photo editor, which caused some of the noise.
Asked about his overall impression of the Nexus 6P, Romain Guy said it’s “a camera that makes me want to go out and take pictures.” Sure, he’s not exactly a neutral source, but looking at Romain’s amazing photography portfolio, his endorsement is very encouraging.
Next up, the head of Android engineering, Dave Burke (who introduced the Nexus 5X and 6P on stage yesterday), shared a video of a mid-flight hummingbird shot in slow motion at 240 frames per second. This video (even if it’s filmed in ideal conditions) is really an incredible achievement and a testament to the advances of technology that we rarely remember to acknowledge.
And here’s a GIF if you can’t play the video (via Clien.net):
Thoughts on these samples? Are you excited for the Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X?
Nexus 5X will start from Rs. 31,900 in India, Nexus 6P Rs. 39,999
The Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P certainly look great, but let’s face it, the price of the new devices will play a huge role in their reception. We already learned about Google’s curious pricing decisions in Europe, and now we have a solid idea of the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P prices in India.
Google hasn’t officially announced any availability details for the Nexus 5X and 6P in India, but we did get the price details for the two devices.
Specifically, the Nexus 5X 16GB (which starts from $379 in the US) will cost Rs. 31,900 in India (about $485). The 32GB version will cost Rs. 35,999 ($550).
Meanwhile, the Nexus 6P 32GB ($499 in the US) will be available for 39,999 (a little over $600), while the 64GB version will cost Rs. 42,999 (around $650).

Google slashed the price of the 2014 Nexus 6 to Rs. 33,800 (32GB) and Rs. 37,600 (64GB).
A number of accessories for the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P have been listed as well, and they are pricey. A Nexus 5X folio case goes for Rs. 3,200, for instance, while the same product for the Nexus 6P will set you back Rs. 3,900.
To be fair, Indian customers have it better than their European counterparts, where a Nexus 6P starts from a whopping €649 ($730)! That said, at least outside the US, the Nexus duo is definitely more expensive than we were hoping, especially given the excellent competition that is available in the same price bracket.
What do you think of these prices, Indian readers?
Huawei is now selling the Nexus 6P on its online store
Following Google’s unveiling of its latest handset, Huawei has now published an official pre-order page for the Nexus 6P on its official website. The device will set you back $499 for the 32GB variant or $549 for the 64GB model, both of which are expected to start shipping in “late October”.
