so I was a little bit sick okay I was like but that didn't stop the world of Android news from just trucking along and this past week has been a Google delicious week no more rumors no more leaks let's start with the Nexus 5x the Nexus 5 features a 5.2 inch full HD LCD display with Gorilla Glass 3 Google's decision to forego a quad HD panel shouldn't come as a surprise as this move was likely made to keep the cost down the attending to be panel will also be much less power-hungry than the higher resolution displays helping the 2700 milliamp hour battery last a bit longer in hopes that all of the new battery saving features in the Android 6.0 will make up for it under the hood the 5x totes a 2 gigahertz wall com snapdragon 808 processor backed by 2 gigabytes of ram this device comes with either 16 or 32 gigabytes of on-board storage now if you need more than that you'll have to rely on the cloud as the 5x does not come with a micro SD card slot for expandable storage if you're willing to skip the 5x and would like a nexus with a bit more onboard storage the newly announced Nexus 6p comes with 32 64 or 128 gigabyte flavors there's also a 12 point three megapixel rear facing camera with an f-stop of two point O aperture on board as well as a 5-megapixel front-facing camera both the Nexus 5 the nexus 6 feature optical image stabilization but unfortunately the Nexus 5x does not we're not entirely sure why Google chose to leave this helpful feature out of the camera Nexus phones have always struggled in the camera Department and we're really hoping that the Nexus 5x won't suffer from the same fate and in true Nexus tradition the 5x will be relatively affordable starting at three hundred and seventy nine dollars and will ship out in October now let's talk as bigger brother the Nexus 6p briefly the specs include a 5.7 inch AMOLED qhd display with 518 pixels per inch it sports a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor but it is the second version so that should not overheat it has an Adreno 430 GPU three gigabytes of RAM and the storage options come in at 32 64 128 gigabytes it does not have a microSD card slot it runs Android marshmallow has a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and as a 12 point three megapixel rear cam and an eight megapixel front facing camera it has a 3450 milliamp hour non removable battery unlike in past years Google doesn't plan to offer its phones directly via carriers in the US in a model similar to what we are seeing from Motorola with the Moto X pure edition in fact while select international retailers will still offer the nexus family in the u.s. the Nexus phones will be available only through the google play store the nexus p is obviously a bit more expensive than the 5x thanks to its be for your specs and the more premium design with a starting price of five hundred dollars for the 32 gigabyte variant the 64 gigabyte model is five hundred forty nine dollars and 128 gigabyte model is just six hundred and forty nine dollars those who buy either model will also get 90 days of free google play music and those who pre-order will get a fifty-dollar google play gift card as an added perk now let's talk the pixel see the pixel series for those who follow Chromebooks has been previously used only for the most premium offerings and manufactured and sold directly through google itself the pixel see follows in the tradition of being a high spec high performance high priced device though in this case it's running Android 6.0 marshmallow as opposed to Chrome OS the pixel see features a 2560 x 1800 10.2 inch screen with 308 pixels per inch it has an nvidia x1 system-on-a-chip with maximal GPU 3 gigabytes of ram and either 32 or 64 gigabytes of on-board storage it will make use of USB type-c is made of aluminium and as mentioned earlier will ship with Android 6.0 marshmallow as per the pixel laptop series the device also includes an LED strip that can be double tapped to indicate battery life one accessory has been announced thus far an aluminium keyboard which can attach the tablet and a mic soft surface apple ipad pro type fashion via magnets and connects to the system via bluetooth google has indicated the accessory is the same size as a standard keyboard due to some strategic rearrangement of keys and a use of the tablets touchscreen it should make for a very comfortable user experience the device will retail for 499 at 32 gigabytes or 599 for 64 gigabytes and will be available for purchase by the end of the year the keyboard will retail separately for a hundred and forty nine dollars and finally let's talk about the blackberry prive blackberry prive formerly known by its internal code name Venice is BlackBerry's first foray into Android which the Canadian company has

so so it runs google and i'll go back to my main screen and see what i could get anything wow i was exploded have you seen Apple and Google do product launches it is a performance every segment is properly planned and rehearsed to clearly communicate the benefits of those new features they make a major media splash doing so and what did you do you didn't even prep your device you have the opportunity to make a huge industry media splash instead you made a burp you think I'm being harsh I'm not being harsh blackberry needs a new CEO that was an unforgivable lapse of judgment a missed
