Prices are yet to be revealed, though in the US the 6 costs $649 (about £400) for the 32GB model or $699 (around £440) for the 64GB version. The 9 costs $399 (about £250) for the 16GB model, $479 (about £300) for the 32GB version, or $599 (about £375) for the 4G 32GB model.
As for release dates, the Nexus 9 hits the Google Play online store on 3 November, but you can reserve yours by preordering on Friday, 17 October. The Nexus 6 lands at some point in November.
We’ll continue to update this story in the next few weeks as we find out more.
Next Nexuses
- Android 5.0 Lollipop ushers in the new era of Android
- Google unveils Nexus 9 tablet with 2,048×1,536 resolution screen
- Google Nexus 6 features Android Lollipop, 6-inch display
- Nexus Player runs Android TV, plays games, streams video
The Nexus 6 sports a 6-inch display, making it the first Nexus phablet. A 4G device, it’s built by Motorola Mobility, which Google is in the process of selling to Lenovo. And the Nexus 9 tablet, made by HTC, boasts an eye-popping 8.9-inch screen.
As always, the Nexus devices will show off the newest version of Google’s Android mobile operating system. Following the current version, KitKat, we’re up to L in the alphabet — hence Lollipop.
Google has also revealed the first Android TV device, the Nexus Player , which is a streaming-media player put together by Asus. There’s no word yet on whether that will go on sale here; the setups of US and UK TV are very different, so we had to wait a while before Google’s current streaming device, the Chromecast, crossed to these shores.
