Nexus Sailfish and Marlin prices rumored to be higher than 5X and 6P
Once, the Nexus
was the best affordable flagship money can buy - the Nexus 4 and then 5 both
launched at $300 at a time when similarly specced phones could easily cost
twice that.
Rumor has it that
Google is pulling another Nexus 6 and going premium - and pricey. While the
official unveiling is a little over a month away, the prices for the Nexus
Sailfish and Marlin are churning in the rumor mill.
$450 will buy you
the Sailfish with its 5" 1080p screen, Snapdragon 820, 13MP + 8MP cameras
and 32GB of storage. That's more than the $380 the Nexus 5X cost when it
launched at a year ago with comparable specs.
And it's up to $600 for the Marlin and its
5.5" QHD screen, same chipset, camera and storage. It's not clear if
Google will be offering higher storage capacities. For comparison, the Nexus 6P
launched at $500 (and is obviously much less now).
The new Nexus duo will likely be unveiled in
late September/early October. Now we're a little anxious to see the EU prices.
Until the official unveil, repeat after us: "it's only a rumor, it's only
a rumor."
