Time to add another item to the list of things that’s been leaked ahead of Google’s September 29 event.

A full LG Nexus 5X spec list has leaked out, complete with feature highlights that look like they’re intended for use on the 5X’s product page. According to the list, the Nexus 5X will offer a 5.2-inch 1920×1080 display with Gorilla Glass 3, 12.3-megapixel rear camera with f/2.0 aperture, dual flash, and optical image stabilization, and a 5-megapixel front-facing shooter. There’s also a fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone.

Inside of the Nexus 5X’s frame is said to be a hexa-core Snapdragon 808 processor, 2GB of LPDDR3 RAM, 16/32GB of storage, and a USB Type-C connector. The Nexus 5X’s body reportedly measures 147.0mm x 72.6mm x 7.9mm, which is a bit taller and wider but also thinner than the Nexus 5, which measures 137.84mm x 69.17mm x 8.59mm.

There are a couple of details about that spec list that are sure to jump out at folks, namely the 2GB of RAM and the lack of any mention of wireless charging. First up, 2GB of RAM does seem a bit small for a new phone coming out in late 2015, but it seems like the 5X is the mid-range Nexus this year and the Nexus 6P is the flagship. Meanwhile, the lack of wireless charging is puzzling since that feature was in the Nexus 4, 5, and 6.

All will fully be revealed tomorrow at 9:00 AM PT/12:00 PM ET.

Up until this point, the Pixel lineup has been reserved for ChromeOS and laptops, but it looks like Google is looking to shake things up a bit. According to a new report, there’s a new device coming down the pipe that will bear the Pixel name, but this one’s running Android.

A report published by Android Police says that the new tablet is called the Pixel C and that it will measure in at 10.2 inches. That screen will reportedly feature a pixel per inch count of 308, and a backlight capable of 500 nits. As far as other features go, the Pixel C will boast an NVIDIA X1 quad-core processor under the hood, but what it will be clocked at remains a mystery. It will be paired with a Maxwell GPU. There will be 3GB of RAM, too.

The build quality will still be Pixel-level, so it will still have that premium feel, and the report also suggests that the new Pixel C will look like the 2015 Chromebook Pixel, just without the keyboard attached to it. There will be a keyboard accessory, though. Two of them, in fact. One will be aluminum and the other leather, and they’ll charge automatically when they’re closed. The Pixel C will also feature a USB Type-C port.

The Pixel lightbar will be present on the back of the tablet and will glow to show the battery life remaining in the device.

As far as pricing goes, the report suggests that it won’t be cheap and that it could launch as early as this November. Just one more thing for Google to announce at the company’s media event on September 29.

If the Pixel C is real, and based on the rumored specs, would you pick one up?
