Design

Often when talking about the design of a device, particularly one in the mobile industry, the words "it’s just a bigger / smaller / uglier version of.." something before it. But there’s simply not a more appropriate way of describing the Nexus 6 smartphone than to say it’s a 2nd-gen Moto X but with a larger display.

Display

The front panel is easily the center-piece of this particular gadget, and why not? Keeping in with the theme of the naming, it packs a 6-inch, 1,440 x 2560 quad-HD display which is larger than the likes of the iPhone 6 Plus and Samsung’s new Galaxy Note 4.

Camera

The Nexus 6 packs a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera, which, yes, is identical to that of the Moto X. Again, though, there’s no reason to complain, for the newer Moto X pumps out some very nice shots indeed, and once you’ve finished taking snaps and capturing videos, you can always then marvel at them on the scintillating display.

Processor

The Nexus 6 enjoys a reasonable one-up with a quad-core, 2.7GHz Snapdragon 805. There’s also an Adreno 420 GPU, which should be more than competent when playing some of the graphically-intensive titles floating around the Play Store, and overall, it’s fair to say that the Nexus 6 is a bit of a beast.

Storage

The Nexus 6 offers 32GB of on-board memory, but if you feel like you’ll probably get through all of that, you could instead opt for the 64GB configuration.

Battery

The Nexus 6 includes a 3,220 mAh battery, which is just as well given the numerous features, and overall, this should be more than enough to keep things ticking over. On a single charge of just 15 minutes, Google is pitching that the device will be able to withstand usage of up to 6 hours, and 24 hours on a full, single charge.

Software

As expected, the Nexus 6 will be the first smartphone to run Android L, or Android Lollipop right out of the box, and we’ll have further details on this new release coming up very, very shortly.

The complete set of tech. specs are as follows:

Price

The unlocked Nexus 6 will cost $649 for the base model, and will be available via several carriers on contract such as AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, U.S. Cellular.

Release Date

The Nexus 6 will be available for pre-order on October 29th and will be available to purchase from Best Buy and the Google Play Store.
