The LG
Nexus 5X was introduced at a starting price of Rs 31,990 for the 16GB version,
while the 32GB was priced at Rs 35,990. Now the 16GB is retailing for Rs
24,990, which is a drop of Rs 7,000, while the 32GB version is available for Rs
32,439, a price drop of around Rs 3,500.
When
Google had introduced the phone in India along with LG, it had defended the
pricing for the new devices. Google had said that at the time that both the
Nexus 5x and Huawei Nexus 6P (Specification) were premium phones offering top-end experience
and specs, and that the pricing was thus right.
But now the big price drop has taken place barely a month after the
launch.
One of
the reasons for this can be that Google now has two Nexus smartphones to offer.
A lot of Nexus lovers, the ones who might be waiting to upgrade from Nexus 5 to
the new Nexus series, might just prefer the Huawei Nexus 6P.
While the
Nexus 5X continues with the plastic body seen in earlier Nexus phones, the 6P
is the one that truly stands out in terms of a different design and has a
stunning rear and front camera to offer. Plus for Nexus fans, who are okay with
spending Rs 30,000 on a phone, the difference between the 5X and 6P is not
really that much.
As we
noted in our review, the Nexus 5X does not have an inspiring specs sheet,
especially for Rs 30K and above price it was charging. The plastic design is
unlikely to woo new users, especially those who want a premium looking device.
