Has anyone noticed this on the hardware warranty centre for the new 6P and 5X?

Manufacturer: Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. ("Huawei")
Contact: Visit the Huawei website at
www.consumer.huawei.com/. You may be covered by Huawei's limited manufacturer's warranty
Where as on the older nexus 4 &5 it states
Contact: If you purchased your Nexus 5 on Google Play, contact us with questions about refunds, exchanges, or repairs. Your satisfaction is important to us and we want to help.
This implies that the warranty is handled direct with the manufacturer for the 5X and 6P rather than through Google like the previous phones.
Normally i'd buy direct through google as they have been great at handling replacements in the past, however if it just going direct to manufacturer you might as well buy from CPW as its cheaper.
Has anyone seen that google is definitely handling the warranty for these phones if bought from google play.
