Google’s launch of the Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X overnight had one drawback, with no availability or pricing information for the phones given by Google. We did manage to see a ‘Starting from’ price for the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P, but a look at the source code actually reveals almost all the information you want.
All the phones are listed as ‘Leaves warehouse in 1 – 2 business days’ in the code, so it appears we’re merely waiting for a switch to be flicked. On the release date we do have a tip that October 19th could very well be that day – it hasn’t been confirmed, but we’ve not seen much in the way of confirmation on dates for previous Nexus launches.
So. Colour and Price. The table below is what we’ve managed to pull from the source code to make it a little easier for you to work out which colour and which size you want at what price. The only shock is the lack of a 32GB Frost model in the Nexus 6P and we may possibly not get the 128GB Frost either.
Nexus 5X
| Ice Blue | Carbon Black | Quartz White | |
| 16GB | $659 | ||
| 32GB | $739 | ||
Nexus 6P
| Frost | Aluminium | Graphite | |
| 32GB | N/A | $899.00 | $899.00 |
| 64GB | $999.00 | $999.00 | $999.00 |
| 128GB | $1,099* | $1,099 | $1,099 |
* The entry for the 128GB Frost Nexus 6P has a status of ‘Nexus 6P (128GB, LTE, Frost) is not available in your country’ in the source code.
The pricing and colours are now up and we have a semi-reliable pre-order date – now let’s see if we can track down some Chromecast Gen 2 and Chromecast Audio info.
