Google Announce new line-up of Nexus Devices

[Nabs]

So Google quietly announced 2 new Nexus devices last night;

Firstly the Nexus 5X, manufacturerd by LG,  sports a 5.2" FHD display and packs a 6 core 1.8GHz 64bit Snapdragon 808 processor and Adreno418 GPU

The second new phone is the Nexus 6P. This larger device comes with a 5.7" WQHD display and is powered by an 8 core  2.0GHz 64bit Snapdragon 810 processor with Adreno 430 GPU

Both devices come with the same 12.3MP rear camera and 5MP front facing, this will be a welcome upgrade over pervious Nexus devices where the camera have often been lacking. Both devices also introduce the new USB Type-C reversable charger wth fast charging, they also introduce finger print sensores to the Nexus range through Nexus Imprint

The devices will be the first to ship with the latest Android 6.0

Both devices are available to preorder on the play store, no word as to whether Vodafone will be stocking them or not yet though.

USB C, eh?   Don't forget to carry your own charger cable then (and not rely on someone having a suitable one somewhere!)

Type-C is the future @hrym Won't be long and you can kiss goodbye to all youre existing connectors

Or maybe I'll put them in the box with all the RS232 and parallel printer cables @Nabs.

You're right, of course, but for now - carry your own!

Until Apple abandons it's proprietary connectors it won't be the future for a lot of mobile phone users.

Even Apple are on board with USB Type C though @jeffkinn , in fact they are leading the way with the new MacBook all having them.
