Google
LG Nexus 5X, which was launched in India in October, has already seen a massive
price drop on Amazon India.
The
LG Nexus 5X was introduced at a starting price of Rs 31,990 for the 16GB
version, while the 32GB was priced at Rs 35,990. Now the 16GB is retailing for
Rs 24,990, which is a drop of Rs 7,000, while the 32GB version is available for
Rs 32,439, a price drop of around Rs 3,500.
When Google had introduced the phone
in India along with LG, it had defended the pricing for the new devices. Google
had said that at the time that both the Nexus 5x and Huawei Nexus 6P were
premium phones offering top-end experience and specs, and that the pricing was
thus right. But now the big price drop has taken place barely a month
after the launch.
One
of the reasons for this can be that Google now has two Nexus smartphones to
offer. A lot of Nexus lovers, the ones who might be waiting to upgrade from
Nexus 5 to the new Nexus series, might just prefer the Huawei Nexus 6P.
While
the Nexus 5X continues with the plastic body seen in earlier Nexus phones, the
6P is the one that truly stands out in terms of a different design and has a stunning
rear and front camera to offer. Plus, for Nexus fans, who are okay with
spending Rs 30,000 on a phone, the difference between the 5X and 6P is not
really that much.
As
we noted in our review, the Nexus 5X does not have an inspiring specs sheet,
especially for Rs 30k and above price it was charging. The plastic design is
unlikely to woo new users, especially those who want a premium looking device.
LG
Nexus 5X features a 5.2-inch LCD screen with FHD (1920×1080) resolution with
Corning Gorilla Glass 3, 1.8 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 808, 2GB LPDDR3 RAM, 12.3
mp camera with F2.0 Aperture and a 5 mp front camera with F2.0 Aperture. It
runs Android M with Google Now on Tap.
Interestingly
users are also reporting voice-call quality issues with the more premium Nexus
6P in the US. The phone is yet to launch in India.
