Google is sending out invites for an event on September 29 in
San Francisco (kicks off 8am PDT, or 9:30pm IST), and the search engine giant
is expected to
launch its latest
Nexus smartphones, apart from a new Chromecast
dongle.
Google's
Nexus smartphones for the year have been in the news for a while with numerous
leaks pointibg to a smaller smartphone being made by LG, and the larger by
Huawei. A recent leak alsopoints to the names of
the handsets being the LG Nexus 5X, and Huawei Nexus 6P.
The
search giant in the invitation has promised "tasty new treats and much
s'more" for its fans but has not given details. Nothing more has been
mentioned except the date and time.
Both
LG Nexus 5X and Huawei Nexus 6P would be running Google's latest Android 6.0
Marshmallowout-of-the-box for which the handsets will be the
platform lead devices. They will also sport fingerprint sensors and USB Type-C
ports, both features that now have native support in the upcoming Android
release.
Based
on past leaks and rumours, the LG Nexus 5X is said to feature a 5.2-inch full-HD
(1080x1920 pixels) display; a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor; 3GB of RAM;
Adreno 418 GPU; a 12.3-megapixel sensor; a 5-megapixel front camera, and a
2700mAh battery
A report from earlier this month claimed the new Nexus 5X will be more expensive than the original Nexus 5. It is tipped to be launched at $399 (approximately Rs. 26,500) for the 16GB model, while the 32GB will cost $449 (approximately Rs. 32,999).
As for the larger Huawei Nexus 6P, it is tipped to sport a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 MSM8994 SoC. A 5.7-inch QHD display and front-facing speakers are also tipped, apart from a 12-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel front camera.
Google is also expected to finally launch the next-generation Chromecast dongle at the event as well. The new dongle as per a recent leak will feature a balloon-like design, and as much rumoured earlier, support for faster dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11ac. It is also tipped to bring support for Spotify - a music streaming service notably missing from the list..
