As expected, Google has announced the Nexus 6 smartphone with Android 5.0 Lollipop by way of a quick blog post rather than the big launch event. Here's all the Nexus 6 release date, price and specs.
Just a day before Apple is due to announce new iPads, Google has unveiled a range of new devices to go with Android 5.0 Lollipop including the Nexus 9 and Nexus Player.
Google Nexus 6: Release date and price
Google has announced that the Nexus 6 will be available to pre-order in the UK in November and go on sale the same month. We're sure Google will announce a specific date soon.
Strangely, there's no pricing information yet and this might be because Google is set to increase the cost of its flagship smartphone. The Nexus 5 costs £299 but the Nexus 6 will supposedly cost a lot more. The Verge claims it will cost $649 off contract.
We'll update this as soon as Google announces an official price.
Google Nexus 6: Specs and features
The Nexus 6 has been built by Motorola for Google and looks very similar to the Moto X. It has a 'contoured aluminium frame' which houses a 5.96in Quad HD screen (493ppi). Google's tag line for the phone is "more room to explore".
Along with the Nexus 9, it is the launch product for a new version of Android which we now know is 5.0 Lollipop. This will also be available for the Nexus 7, Nexus 6 and Nexus 10 in the 'coming weeks'.
Back to the Nexus 6 and it features a 13Mp rear facing camera with optical image stabilisation (OIS), front facing stereo speakers and the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor which is both 64-bit and clocked at 2.7 GHz. It includes the Adreno 420 GPU.
The Nexus 6 will come in 32- or 64 GB capacities but there's still no microSD card slot. Inside is a 3220mAh and Google touts over 24 hours of use. The firm also touts up to 6 hours of use from only 15 minutes of charging (if the battery is substantially depleted).
