Display

With a 4:3, 8.9-inch QVGA display boasting a resolution of 2048 x 1536, this device is made to be both productive and versatile, and although it’s always dangerous to cast aspersions about any tech product by looking at on-paper specs sheets, we’d expect a fairly sharp, high-performing panel in reality.

Camera

The Nexus 9 includes an 8-megapixel rear-facing snapper as well as a 1.6-megapixel front shooter, and although, again, it’s hard to make too many judgments at this point, it’s likely that they’ll both offer competent, if not spectacular performance.

Processor

The key feature of the Nexus 9 is its power. I drew those Surface comparisons earlier on because, unlike most Android tablets and phablets, the processor is comparable to those productivity-centric "pro" device. Under the hood, you get a 64-bit NVIDIA Tegra K1 processor clocked at a healthy 2.3 GHz, 2GB of RAM and Kepler DX1 graphics.

Storage

You get 16GB or 32GB of on-board storage as standard, but unfortunately, there’s no way of bumping this up via microSD. This is where those running a Windows machine might decide against going for the Nexus 9, for adding extra memory is as simple as popping in a USB thumb drive.

Battery

The Nexus 9 includes a 6,700 mAh battery, which, Google claims, will keep the tablet running for some 9 hours.

Software

Alongside the Nexus 6, will be running on Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box, and we’ll have the full low-down on that particular side of today’s announcements in a few moments.

The complete set of tech. specs of the device are as follows:

Price

The Wi-Fi-only Nexus 9 will start at $399 for the 16GB variant, or $479 for the 32GB. There’ll also be an LTE model for $599, which will arrive only as a 32GB option.

Release Date

Nothing solid has been disclosed as yet, but the Nexus 9 will arrive in 29 countries over the next few weeks, and pre-orders will start on October 17th. U.S. retail outlets will include Best Buy, Gamestop, Office Depot and others, as well as the Google Play Store.
