LG Nexus 5X Dual-SIM Goes on Sale in Kuwait

The LG-made Nexus 5X may become the first Nexus smartphone to feature dual-SIM support, if a new online listing is to be believed. It's worth noting that there has been no official announcement from LG or Google regarding the launch of dual-SIM version of the Nexus 5X.

An e-commerce website in Kuwait has started selling LG Nexus 5X in dual-SIM version priced at KWD 145 (approximately Rs. 32,000) for the 16GB variant. Notably, the specifications of the dual-SIM enabled Nexus 5X are identical to the single-SIM Nexus 5X except that the latter features dual-SIM slots.

Of course, since this is a third-party store, one cannot be certain if the handset is official.

To recall, the LG Nexus 5X features a 5.2-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixel) display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3; a 1.8GHz hexa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 SoC; 2GB of LPDDR3 RAM; a 12.3-megapixel rear camera with 4K and slow-motion (120fps) video recording, apart from an f/2.0 aperture, and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera with HDR+ and an f/2.0 aperture. The Nexus 5X sports a 2700mAh battery, with Quick Charge support providing up to 3.8 hours of charge in 10 minutes. It is available in Charcoal Black and Ice Blue colour variants.

Both the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P are platform lead devices for the Android 6.0 Marshmallow, and come with features such as USB Type-C and Nexus Imprint fingerprint sensor. The new Nexus smartphones were launched on September 29 in San Francisco.

In India, the Nexus 5X smartphone went on sale back in October and was priced at Rs. 31,900 for the 16GB storage variant, while the 32GB variant was priced at Rs. 35,900.
