Let&#8217;s take a closer look at the two new Nexus devices Google have revealed.<\/p>\n<h1><strong>Google Nexus 6<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/N6-moreeverything-1600_verge_super_wide.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-37306\" title=\"N6-moreeverything-1600_verge_super_wide\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/N6-moreeverything-1600_verge_super_wide.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"714\" height=\"384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/N6-moreeverything-1600_verge_super_wide.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/N6-moreeverything-1600_verge_super_wide-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/N6-moreeverything-1600_verge_super_wide-450x242.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 714px) 100vw, 714px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Nexus 6 is the latest flagship Google phone, and is made by Motorola. It&#8217;s essentially an enlarged version of Motorola&#8217;s latest Moto X smartphone, with the same rounded design, metal trim, circular flash ring and a dimpled Motorola logo on the rear. There are even dual front-facing speakers &#8211; a new feature for a Nexus phone. The phone will be available in white and blue varieties.<\/p>\n<p>The Nexus 6&#8217;s most noticeable feature is its 5.9-inch 2560 x 1440 display, which is significantly bigger than that of the Nexus 5. Internally, the Nexus 6 is impressive too. The phone comes with a Snapdragon 805 quad-core processor, 3GB of RAM, 32 or 64GB of internal storage and a sizeable 3220 mAh battery. The camera situation seems reasonable, with a 2-megapixel unit on the front and a 13-megapixel shooter on the back.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/N6-purchaseflow-1600_verge_super_wide.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-37307\" title=\"N6-purchaseflow-1600_verge_super_wide\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/N6-purchaseflow-1600_verge_super_wide.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"714\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/N6-purchaseflow-1600_verge_super_wide.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/N6-purchaseflow-1600_verge_super_wide-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/N6-purchaseflow-1600_verge_super_wide-450x258.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 714px) 100vw, 714px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Nexus 6 will go on pre-order on October 29th, with in-store availability coming in early November. You&#8217;ll be able to order from Google&#8217;s Play Store, third-party retailers or the Three and O2 networks. UK pricing has yet to be announced for the smartphone, but in the United States we&#8217;re looking at a minimum price of $649 for the 32GB version &#8211; a higher than previous Nexus devices. The 64GB version will cost $699.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll be supporting the new smartphone with a full range of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/google\/nexus-6\">Nexus 6 accessories<\/a>. We&#8217;ve already launched a range of FlexiShield <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/google\/nexus-6\/cases\">Nexus 6 cases<\/a>, and we&#8217;ll be following up with several <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/google\/nexus-6\/chargers\">Nexus 6 chargers<\/a>, car holders, screen protectors and many other categories.<\/p>\n<h1><strong><\/strong><strong>Google Nexus 9<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/N9-hero-1600_verge_super_wide.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-37308\" title=\"N9-hero-1600_verge_super_wide\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/N9-hero-1600_verge_super_wide.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"714\" height=\"347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/N9-hero-1600_verge_super_wide.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/N9-hero-1600_verge_super_wide-300x145.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/N9-hero-1600_verge_super_wide-450x218.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 714px) 100vw, 714px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Google worked with HTC to produce their latest tablet, the Nexus 9. The Nexus 9 is quite unusual for an Android tablet, with a 4:3 aspect ratio display that mimics Apple&#8217;s line of iPad tablets. The 8.9-inch 2048&#215;1536 display is flanked by dual front-facing BoomSound speakers, and set within a metal frame.<\/p>\n<p>The Nexus 9 is being launched alongside a keyboard attachment, which magnetically attaches to the metal frame to produce a laptop-like form factor. This provides a way to be productive on the go, and makes the Nexus 9 a competitor to Microsoft&#8217;s line of Surface tablets.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/N9-keyboardhigh-1600_verge_super_wide.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-37309\" title=\"N9-keyboardhigh-1600_verge_super_wide\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/N9-keyboardhigh-1600_verge_super_wide.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"714\" height=\"444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/N9-keyboardhigh-1600_verge_super_wide.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/N9-keyboardhigh-1600_verge_super_wide-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/N9-keyboardhigh-1600_verge_super_wide-450x279.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 714px) 100vw, 714px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The tablet is one of the first devices to debut with Nvidia&#8217;s Tegra K1 chipset; it&#8217;s also the first 64-bit processor to be used in a Nexus product. This is backed with 2GB RAM, 16 or 32GB of storage (with optional LTE in the 32GB variety) and a battery good for about 9 hours of solid use.<\/p>\n<p>The Nexus 9 will be available for pre-order on October 17th &#8211; this Friday. It&#8217;ll ship in November. Once again, UK prices have not been announced, but the Nexus 9 will cost $399 in the United States for the 16GB model without LTE. The 32GB and LTE 32GB versions will cost $479 and $599, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll also have a load of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/google\/nexus-9\">Nexus 9 accessories<\/a>, which includes protective items like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/google\/nexus-9\/cases\">Nexus 9 cases<\/a> and screen protectors, alongside more general items like chargers, docks and so forth. We&#8217;ll have more accessories to announce over the coming days and weeks!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thanks for checking out our coverage of Google&#8217;s Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 tablets!
