Google & Motorola introduce the flagship Android 5.0 smartphone: Meet the Nexus 6


As expected, a powerful new phablet has been introduced in the form of Google’s Motorola-made Nexus 6. The phablet represents an affordable (well, comparatively) - stock Android offering, one that doesn't compromise on the specs front either. Let’s take a look at it, shall we?

Here we’re looking at a 5.96-inch QHD (2560x1440) display, a 13MP camera sensor with OIS, a front-facing 2MP sensor, a 3,220 mAh battery, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor, 3GB of RAM, dual front-facing speakers, and more. There’s also support for Motorola’s Turbo Charger, which can give the Nexus 6 six hours of battery with just 15 minutes on the charger – impressive stuff. And just as expected, Android Lollipop runs the hardware

The Nexus 6 will be available for pre-order beginning later this month. Pricing is set to start at nearly $650 for the 32GB version, with blue and white color options. The 64GB model will run you just $50 more, coming in closer to $700....which makes me wonder if Google forgot if this is a Nexus or not!
