Every year, like clockwork, Google and some popular phone maker cook up a handset to be a standard-bearer for the newest version of Android. Well, maybe not every year: This time around there are two of them. While the LG-made Nexus 5Xis a direct successor to the beloved Nexus 5, things aren't quite as straightforward with Huawei's Nexus 6P. It's a sleeker, smaller, more powerful take on the phablet formula Google and Motorola tried to crack with the Nexus 6, and it seems to hit all the right notes. Hell, with a price tag that starts at $499, it's even cheaper than its predecessor. All that said, there's never been a better time to be in the market for a new phone -- Android or otherwise -- which means the Nexus 6P faces some stiff competition.
