Both the Huawei Nexus 6P and LG Nexus 5X have been listed for pre-order on Flipkart, one of the biggest Indian online retailers and Amazon.in. You can get the Huawei Nexus 6P right now for Rs. 39,999 which translates to $614 and the LG Nexus 5X for Rs. 31,990 which translates to $491. These prices are higher than in the United States but again, the same thing is happening in Europe as well.
In the United States, the Huawei Nexus 6P starts at $500 for the 32GB variant, $550 for the 64GB variant and $650 for the 128GB variant. The Nexus 5X starts at $380 for the 16GB variant and $430 for the 32GB variant. So you are paying around $110 more for the Nexus 5X (16GB) and around $114 more for the Nexus 6P (32GB).
To make up for the high price of the gadgets, Google will be giving a few free things including Bluetooth headsets, gift cards, free screen replacements and free Chromecasts. However, this still doesn’t fully make up for the big difference in price.
You can pre-order the Huawei Nexus 6P right now from Flipkart where the 32GB variant is available and the LG Nexus 5X 16GB variant from Amazon.in.
Google is trying to gain a larger Nexus user base with its two latest flagships. The company is trying to reach to all markets with a high-end phone like the Nexus 6P and a cheaper yet powerful Nexus 5X.
