LG-Google Nexus 5X to start shipping from October 22

Google's new 5.2-inch display smartphone will be going on sale before the end of the month.

Unveiled at a special event at the start of October, the Nexus 5X is built by LG and packs a host of flagship internal components, including a 12.3-megapixel rear camera with laser focus and a monster octa-core processor into a very affordable form.

Despite boasting a fingerprint sensor, the very latest version of Android - Marshmallow - and a fast-charging battery, the 32 GB version will retail for just $379 (Rs 31,900 in India) from the Google Play Store while the 64 GB version costs $429.

The handset will be available initially in a choice of white or black but a mint green version is also expected to go on sale before the holiday season gets into full swing.

The India launch event of the Nexus 5X and the Nexus 6P is happening tomorrow and further details about the devices India prices and availability are expected to be announced.
