LG Nexus 5X now available for as low as Rs. 23,095, bad news for YU Yutopia?

Follow Us

The LG Nexus 5X has received a price cut again, which now makes it available for as less as Rs. 23,095. Well, this better be a coincidence, as the price drop clashes with the launch of YU’s much-talked about smartphone, the Yutopia. It also means that now LG Nexus 5X is going to compete against the OnePlus 2 as well.

LG Nexus 5X latest price drop




Interestingly, the YU Yutopia comes at a price tag of Rs. 24,999, and here we have a flagship attached with Google’s Nexus line-up, retailing at a lower price. This could act as a game changer for the Nexus 5X as at that kinda price, it sure is going to attract many potential buyers. This is the third price drop for the LG Nexus 5X that was launched at a hefty price of Rs. 32,000, the cumulative price drop percentage stands at 30 percent. Surprisingly, the Huawei Nexus 6P did not get a single price cut since its launch.

This price cut could pose a massive threat to Yutopia, which was branded on the grounds of teasing flagships that come at a higher price range. The specifications of Yutopia do come up as a winner, for example, it offers 4GB of RAM compared to the Nexus 5X that has just 2GB of RAM. But in price conscious markets such as India, hardware disparity might not really affect most of the buyer’s decision, but the brand value will. That’s where the LG Nexus 5x with its age-old brand name (LG and Google), could come up as a winner. Also, the Nexus 5X comes with a promise by Google to receive the latest software updates sooner than any other smartphone.

Now coming on to the OnePlus 2, which is available at the same price as the LG Nexus 5X. The OnePlus 2 offers 3GB of RAM and a 5.5-inch display, and the LG Nexus 5X comes with the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow, and a better service coverage by LG than the OnePlus.

The YU Yutopia might also not be readily available until 2-3 months. One can expect delays as the smartphone just launched and it will take time to meet the demand and supply circle.
