Google Nexus 6 is official with 6-inch QHD screen and S805

Without any sort of special event, Google has just announced the Motorola-made Nexus 6 smartphone running Android 5.0 Lollipop. The phone features a 6" 2560 x 1440 pixel display, which gives it a pixel density of 496ppi.

The premium display is backed up by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 chipset with a 2.65GHz quad-core Krait 450 CPU inside and 3GB of RAM. At the back, there's a 13MP f/2.0 camera with dual-LED flash. Internal storage is either 32GB or 64GB, but there's no microSD card slot.

At the front, there are two stereo speakers and a 2MP front-facing camera.

The battery is a 3,220mAh unit, which isn't user replaceable. However, it sports Turbo Charging, which allows you to get up to 6 hours of use from the Nexus 6 with only 15 minutes of charging. Google promises the phone can make it through 24 hours of usage without problems.

Pre-orders for the Motorola Nexus 6 start on October 29 with shipments scheduled to start some time in November. You can buy the 32GB, SIM-free version of the phone in Midnight Blue or Cloud White from the Google Play Store for $649.

Although not officially confirmed, in Europe the 32GB and 64GB models are expected to retail for €569 and €649, respectively.

Google won't stop selling the LG Nexus 5, for those worried they will be left without a more compact Nexus smartphone. Its pricing remains unchanged, $329 for the 16GB and $399 for the 64GB model. The Nexus 5 will also receive Android 5.0 Lollipop, so you won't be missing out on the latest Google has to offer.

$649?????? WHAT? Thats super expensive for a nexus phone! Wtf? Granted those are some nice specs but generally, nexus phones are in the 300 to 350 dollar range

This one has a huge screen and an epic resolution. Weren't they like 4-4.5" before?

Yup. Super expensive, but looks super nice.
Also, their new HTC-developed tablet looks fantastic too.

Never heard of lollipop until now.

Interesting. New Nexus tablet? Did they announce it at the same time?

It was announced today, I believe, so that's not surprising.

Yea but still... Nexus phones generally had epic resolution at the time of release anyway and they still costed quite cheap.. and their nexus 5 was a 5 inch

Yep. Looks ultra sexy.
