At an event held in Seoul, Korea, VP of Android at Google, Dave Burke said that the company sees itself having a long-term partnership with LG. He even called LG as the “best partner” for engineering Nexus smartphones. Google and LG have now worked together for 3 Nexus handsets: Nexus 4 in 2012, Nexus 5 in 2013, and Nexus 5X in 2015. Burke said during the event that engineers of both companies have developed a good chemistry between them because of their long partnership. Considering that the Nexus 5 was the most popular Nexus handset ever released by Google yet, this statement from Burke should not really come as a surprise. Our engineers really like to work with the people at LG Electronics. Together they have become an excellent team,” he said. The LG-made Nexus 5X will be first available in Korea through SK Telecom, KT, and LG Uplus from October 20, while the Huawei-made Nexus 6P will make its way later to the country across all the three carriers.
