Without any sort of special event, Google has just announced the Motorola-made Nexus 6 smartphone running Android 5.0 Lollipop. The phone features a 6" 2560 x 1440 pixel display, which gives it a pixel density of 496ppi.


The premium display is backed up by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 chipset with a 2.65GHz quad-core Krait 450 CPU inside and 3GB of RAM. At the back, there's a 13MP f/2.0 camera with dual-LED flash. Internal storage is either 32GB or 64GB, but there's no microSD card slot.

At the front, there are two stereo speakers and a 2MP front-facing camera.

The battery is a 3,220mAh unit, which isn't user replaceable. However, it sports Turbo Charging, which allows you to get up to 6 hours of use from the Nexus 6 with only 15 minutes of charging. Google promises the phone can make it through 24 hours of usage without problems.


Pre-orders for the Midnight Blue and Cloud White Motorola Nexus 6 start on October 29 with shipments scheduled to start some time in November. You can buy the 32GB, SIM-free version of the phone from the Google Play Store for $649. Although not officially confirmed, in Europe the 32GB and 64GB models are expected to retail for €569 and €649, respectively.

Google won't discontinue selling the LG Nexus 5, for those who want a more compact smartphone. Its pricing remains unchanged, $329 for the 16GB and $399 for the 64GB model. The Nexus 5 will also receive Android 5.0 Lollipop, so you won't be missing out on the latest Google has to offer.

As expected, today Google announced its latest tablet - the HTC-made Nexus 9 tablet. The tablet runs on Android 5.0, which has just been confirmed to be called Lollipop and packs a 9" IPS LCD with the unusual for Android aspect ratio and a resolution of 2048 x 1440 pixels (that's 4:3 plus extra space for the virtual buttons).


The 7.9mm thick Google Nexus 9 is powered by the Nvidia Tegra K1 chip with a 2.3GHz CPU, the very potent Keepler DX1 GPU and 2GB of RAM. The available storage is either 16 or 32GB, but there's no expansion slot.

The HTC nature of the Google Nexus 9 shines through with the BoomSound stereo speakers. For your photography needs the tablet features an 8MP rear camera and a 1.6MP front-facing snapper.

Google fit a 6,700 mAh battery inside the Nexus 9, although it hasn't provided any estimates on how long it will last on a charge.

Power users will appreciate the optional keyboard that Google unveiled alongside the slate. It magnetically attaches to the back of the Nexus 9 and should provide a huge boost to productivity.

The Google Nexus 9 will be available in on preorder starting from October 17, while actual sales begin on November 3. Available colors will be black, beige and white. Pricing is yet to be confirmed, though.

Nice device.. ... Hope to see some obvious changes in this android version that is different from the others. All other versions have next to little differences other than playstore app compatibility.
This should operate on the ART platform so i will like to see how smooth it will be.
