Nexus 5X
The Nexus 5X will have a 5.2-inch 1920 x 1080 LCD display clocking in at 424 ppi, a 12.3-megapixel rear camera, and a 5-megapixel front camera.

As was previously speculated, the Nexus 5X has a 64-bit Snapdragon 808 processor clocked at 2.0 GHz, paired with an Adreno 418 GPU. You’ll also find 2 GB of LPDDR3 RAM, and availability in both 16 and 32 GB capacities. On the back you’ll find a fingerprint sensor, and the bottom is adorned with a wonderful USB Type-C connector.
The phone of course has a plethora of sensors: Sensor Hub, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a barometer, a proximity sensor, and an assortment of others. In terms of its dimensions, the Nexus 5X is clearly the smaller of the two devices at 147 mm x 72.6 mm x 7.9 mm and a weight of 136 g.
Previous rumors pitted the LG-made Nexus 5X at $400, but the latest reports say that pre-orders will start on September 29 from $379 for the 16 GB model. 16 GB and 32 GB storage options are likely for the phone’s three colors, and it will only be available in US, UK, Korea, Japan and Ireland.
