Night Mode to come back to Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X

If reports are anything to go by, night mode feature will return to Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X.

Recently, the search giant Google pulled the Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X from its online store to provide vacancy for its new devices.

What's more, many features included in Android N operating system were absent in the update for the Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X that was a disappointment for users who like night mode and fingerprint gestures found on the Pixel smartphones.

According to Google+, the tech giant was not able to carry over the night mode feature for the Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X because it needs a driver support not found on the smartphones. However, users still demanded for the feature.

At present, it appears that the search giant is pushing back. According to reports, an employee or a moderator who handles firmware problems has labeled the bug as closed, with a Future Release status.

This may be indicative that the feature will return to the Nexus devices, maybe through a software update. It is not known whether the night mode features needs a different driver to work or not.

Reports indicate that it is possible that the night mode was not carried over to prevent confusion with a virtually same feature on Pixel devices known as Night Light. If reports are anything to go by, the night mode feature will return.

The feature dims the phone's screen with a red tint during specific times of the day, especially at evening, to decrease blue light that has been proven to interrupt healthy sleeping patterns upon extended exposure.

For starters, the Nexus 5X, which has 2GB of RAM, is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 chipset.

Other features of the Nexus device include 16GB of internal storage, Android 6.0 operating system, 2700mAh non removable battery, 5-megapixel front shooter, 5.20-inch touchscreen display and 12.3-megapixel primary camera on the rear.

The Nexus 6P, which has 3GB of RAM, is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chipset. Other features of the smartphone include Android 6.0 operating system, 12.3-megapixel primary camera on the back, 32GB of internal storage, 3450mAh non removable battery and a 8-megapixel front shooter.
