While Google will be offering pre-orders for the new Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P from September 29, there'll be a little delay on that at least from one UK carrier, EE. But, it has confirmed it will be offering both new phones to its customers and they'll be able to pre-order them from October 9.
The Nexus 6P will cost £29.99 on a new plan of either £36.99 or £39.99 per month for 1GB or 2GB of data respectively. Pre-orders will be available both in store and online.
