Google’s upcoming Nexus 5X, which is being manufactured by LG, will be available at affordable prices. The new smartphone could challenge other manufacturers with its high-end features and an affordable price tag
Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) is expected to announce its next-gen Nexus smartphones on September 29 in San Francisco. The company is expected to introduce two Nexus phones i.e. a 5.2-inch smartphone manufactured by LG, and a 5.7-inch by Huawei.
At present, Apple Inc.’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhones are the most popular in the smartphone market. Its sales are expected to rise after the launch of its latest iPhone 6s. Apple’s fiercest competitor is Samsung Group. (OTCMKTS:SSNLF). It has also slashed prices on its flagship device. LG and Google are to release the second-gen Nexus 5, and we are looking at a smartphone which can potentially grab the market away from the upcoming iPhone 6s.
The LG-made Nexus might be dubbed “Nexus 5X,” according to Android Authority. The phone is expected to be available on affordable prices, even though it’ll be slightly higher in price than its predecessor. Sources reveal that the 16GB model will be priced at $399, while the 32GB variant will cost $449.
Leaked pictures of the LG Nexus 5X show a circular fingerprint scanner on the back of the device, a raised camera and a dual LED on the side. The device is also expected to feature a USB Type-C port and is likely to be available in different colors i.e. white, black, and light blue. Meanwhile, no details on the Huawei-made Nexus have surfaced yet.
The new smartphones will operate on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, feature a display of 1440 x 2560 pixels, and a fingerprint scanner. Android Authority says the two new devices will be made available on Google Store, after September 29 announcements.
The above mentioned details on the phones are speculations and may vary, however, the advanced features on the more affordable Nexus phones might affect Apple's sales in the future.
