Exclusive: "LG's Nexus 5X" Release Date & Pricing - Android Weekly

2015-09-07
this episode of Edward authority is brought to you by domain.com that's right we have some good news regarding the LG Nexus exclusive to Andrew an authority or shall I say the LG Nexus X hmm a source close to the matter has revealed to us details about Google's and LG's plans for the next generation of the Nexus 5 smartphone the source warned us that this information is not final and as such official details may differ as time goes on but we feel very confident in the veracity of this report our sources confirm that the new Nexus will be made available in the Google Play Store September 29th both the LG Nexus and the hallway Nexus will be offered on this date this confirms a recent report from CNN as well as an older rumor from Korean media the LG Nexus will probably go on to the Nexus 5x moniker we say probably because the decision on the final name has not yet been done at Google HQ the name makes a lot of sense however it allows Google to keep its Nexus naming convention while signaling that this is a new device in a much more intuitive fashion than by adding a 2015 or second-generation suffix perhaps the most important detail we glean from our source is the price of the Nexus 5x the device will be affordable but not as affordable as the original Nexus 5 the Nexus 5x will cost $50 more than the Nexus 5 according to our source that means we can expect a starting point of $399 u.s. for the 16 gigabyte model and 449 for the 32 gigabyte model assuming google has decided to stick with the 16 gigabyte for the base version so what do you guys think of that the Nexus 5x curious now I'm gonna report on Google's new logo and it's not just about new fonts and colors google recently announced and I quote today we're introducing a new logo and identity family that reflects a new reality and shows you when Google's magic is working for you even on the tiniest of screens as you'll see we've taken the Google logo and branding which were originally built for a single desktop browser page and updated them for a world of seamless computing across an endless number of devices and different kinds of inputs such as a tap type and talk it doesn't simply tell you that you're using Google but also shows you how Google is working for you for example new elements like a color for Google Mike help you identify and interact with Google whether you're talking tapping or typing meanwhile we're bidding adieu to the little blue G icon and replacing it with a four color G that matches the logo so in my opinion this isn't just about redesigning for a mobile first strategy but really allowing users to know when they are using Google and not other types of products now although Josh and lon will have a lot more to say about the Samsung gear s2 and s2 classic let's cover briefly what we know so far both models of the gear 2 feature the same specs including a dual-core 1 gigahertz processor a 1.2 inch circular display with a resolution of 360 by 360 512 megabytes of RAM 4 gigabytes of storage an IP 68 dust and water resistance rating and a Bluetooth 4.0 NFC for mobile payments and a variety of sensors such as an accelerometer gyroscope heart rate monitor ambient light and a barometer samsung says the 250 milli amp hour battery will last about 2 to 3 days and will recharge using wireless technology as for the controls the gear s2 offers a rotating bezel as well as a home and back button for easily dealing with notifications now as you'd expect the gear s2 runs on Tizen and that means you won't have the large library of Android wear apps but Samsung says they have a number of built-in apps ready to go and are working with developers to quickly expand their app library judging by their past watches it's likely that the gear s2 will only be compatible with select number of Samsung devices with the Android wear branching out into iOS territory it's possible Samsung will broaden the support this time around to better keep up with the competition now let's talk about an intriguing new kid on the block it's called next bit Robin of course the next bit Robin isn't actually expected to ship to its first backers until January or February of 2016 but thankfully we were able to get a little time with a non working prototype here at IFA 2015 though next bit borrows familiar concepts like dual firing fun facing speakers it manages to do so with a brand new design language that certainly looks like nothing else we've seen in the market today but what about the specs next but promises a mid to high range experience backed by a hexa core snapdragon 808 system on a chip with three gigabytes of RAM 32 gigabytes of internal storage other specs include a 5.2 inch 1080p display a 13 megapixel rear camera a 5 megapixel front camera and a 2670 milliamp hour battery sadly the phone offers no microSD card slot for expansion but instead promises a unique cloud syncing experience with 100 gigabytes free storage for life unlike typical cloud backup this system is smart at least claims to be and knows when to push off apps and pics you haven't used or looked at for a while need to access them again well next fit claims they can redownload the information from their own servers when you need it now this can only be good news because this market needs more competition what do you think would you get a next bit Robin now I
