Evening folks,
Sorry we couldn't mention anything before hand but tonight we were invited along to a certain little Google announcement from the heart of London. Lets just cut straight to the chase, shall we?
They're coming, and they're coming to O2... Presenting the freshly announced Nexus 5X (made by LG) and Nexus 6P (made by Huawei)
Nexus 5X
CPU: Snapdragon 808 1.8GHz
MEM: 2GB RAM, 16/32GB Internal storage
DISPLAY: 5.2", 1080 x 1920 resolution (~423 ppi pixel density)
CAMERA: 12.3MP back / 5MP front
BATTERY: 2,700mAh
Nexus 6P
CPU: Snapdragon 810 2GHz
MEM: 3GB RAM, 32/64/128GB Internal storage
DISPLAY: 5.7", 2560 x 1440 resolution (518 ppi pixel density)
CAMERA: 12.3MP back / 8MP front
BATTERY: 3,450mAh
FEATURES
- "Nexus Imprint" Fingerprint sensor
- Android 6.0 Marshmallow
- Type-C USB (reversible connector, yay!)
- 4k video recording capability
- Slow motion video capture
I was incredibly lucky to be invited to this event on behalf of O2 and while we'd always love to be able to take our community users with us, it's just not possible. Instead, we'd like to share some photos we captured of the announcement and hope it gives you a bit of a unique insight into what some of these handset announcements are like in person.
Hands on experience
As you can see from the photos below, I also secured some demos of the handsets and there's a couple of things I wanted to mention. The fingerprint scanner is very fast and you can set up multiple fingerprint entries, just in case like me you your phone swaps hands every two minutes. Both screens are incredibly sharp and bright, and the colours are great. I experienced a completely lag free Android system - apps loaded instantly, menus were smooth - everything just worked right away. The cameras seem to be a fantastic quality and the photos taken in relatively low-light looked fantastic - the laser auto-focus was also extremely fast, as is booting up the camera itself - in the blink of an eye.
I'm really impressed with the look and feel of both handsets and I do believe both LG and Huawei and given both devices their absolute all.

Liking the looks of these new Nexus devices? Prefer the 'pure Android experience' over others? Like any of the photos we've snapped for you?

People need what people need..
I could never have a device without an SD slot and less than 64gb nowadays.

I would be right on the limit now with only 32gb so if there's no way of creating extra storage by sd card I would be looking for the bigger capacity. Better too much than too little every time.

Agree with the comment 'people need what they need'. We are all individual. I would never need anything more than 32gb. In fact the way I 'rock' ....I could give 16gb away

Hey all,
If you were after a Nexus 5X then these are currently available and in-stock for next day delivery here:
- https://www.o2.co.uk/shop/phones/nexus/5x/
If you're after a Nexus 6P, these are not *yet* available from O2 and we have not had this device open for pre-orders - sorry for any confusion caused from anyone saying otherwise. I can't comment on why this isn't yet available through O2 but we're expecting to have this available for purchase this week, and as early as tomorrow from the O2 site.
Once available to order, you'll be notified if you've registered your interest in this device
