Here’s what the X and P in Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P stand for

A Google engineer, called Hiroshi Lockheimer, has revealed what the mysterious X and P in the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P stand for.

Google LG Nexus 5X

The Google team which built the Nexus 2015 devices, conducted an Ask Us Anything session over at Reddit’s AMA sub/

And one of the questions put to Lockheimer was about the mysterious letters, to which he replied:

X for the core of the Nexus brand (plus it sounds cool!), P for premium.

There you go, X means Nexus and P means Premium. The latter sounds a bit odd, especially as it signifies the more powerful specs of the Huawei device, and kind of makes it sound like the Nexus 5X is a cheap phone.

Google Huawei Nexus 6P

But the letter may have been added to differentiate the device from the Nexus 6 from last year.
