Google Nexus 6 with Android 5.0
Availability
US carriers that will stock the Nexus include T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and US Cellular. Google reported that in the next few weeks, the device will be available in 28 other countries as well. Nexus 6 variants for both the Americas and other countries will be 4G LTE-enabled.
Hardware and key components
Nexus 6 is now manufactured by Motorola. With its curved backing, flowing aluminum trim, and dimpled Motorola branding on the rear.
At 6.27 inches tall, 3.27 inches wide, and 0.4 inches thick (159 by 83 by 10.1mm), it will also be the biggest Nexus phone to date. The handset now sports a 5.96-inch display with an ultra-sharp 1440p resolution and a density of 493 pixels per inch.
Powering the device is a quad-core 2.7GHz Snapdragon 805 processor from Qualcomm, and an Adreno 420 GPU for smooth gameplay.
The 3,220mAh battery has a reported talk time of up to 24 hours and a standby time of 300 hours.
Nexus 6 has a 13-megapixel camera with a dual LED flash that encircles the camera lens and a 2-megapixel front shooter.
Outlook
Google has elevated its once scrappy, pure Android handset to a sophisticated, top-tier level. What reflects this change the most is its price tag -- the 32GB capacity variant is now $250 more than last year's. True, $649 is pretty standard for an unlocked high-end smartphone these days, but this higher price will mean the Nexus won't be as accessible as it was before.
