Internet giant Google's newly-launched Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P will start selling in India between October 10-14, two days before the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus go on sale in the country.
According to sources, the new Nexus
smartphones -- Huawei Nexus 6P and LG Nexus 5X -- priced in the US at $499 (Rs
32,450) and $379 (Rs 24,650) will be launched on October 13.
The move by Google could be seen as an
effect of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's two-day visit to the West Coast in the
US during which he met the newly-appointed Indian-born Google chief executive
Sundar Pichai.
Before and after meeting the prime
minister, Pichai had voiced Google's support for initiatives like Digital India
and Skill India.
Google, which launched the phones on
September 29 in San Francisco, said that the new devices would come with Type-C
USB, fingerprint sensor, large 1.55 micron pixels camera sensor and will run
the latest Android operating system Marshmallow.
The Nexus 6P, which has a 5.7 inch screen
running at 1,440 pixels resolution along with 518 pixels per inch support,
comes with a 12.3 megapixel rear camera with a f/2.0 aperture and laser
auto-focus.
The LG Nexus 5X, on the other hand, comes
with a 64-bit Snapdragon 808 processor with a 2 GB RAM unit. The 5X has a 1,080
pixels display protected by Gorilla Glass 3 and a new 12 megapixel rear camera
with 4K resolution video support. It will draw power from a 2,700 mAH battery.
