New Delhi: Google has finally unveiled the much-awaited Nexus 6 smartphone. The new Nexus is the sixth smartphone in the Google Nexus series and is the first Nexus smartphone made in partnership with Motorola.
The Nexus 6, which looks a blown-up version of the recently launched Moto X (2nd Generation), comes with a 5.96-inch Quad HD display - bigger than both Apple's iPhone 6 Plus and Samsung's Galaxy Note 4.
The Google-Motorola Nexus 6 smartphone is one of the first devices to come with Android 5.0 Lollipop, the next version of Google's mobile OS. One of the highlights of Android L is the new 'material design' that would create a consistent experience across mobile and the Web and will be the new Google-wide standard.

The largest-ever Nexus smartphone is equipped with a 2.7GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor and features dual front-facing speakers.
The new Nexus 6 sports a 13-megapixel rear camera with optical image stabilisation and a 2-megapixel front camera. According to the company, Nexus 6 users can get up to 6 hours of use from only 15 minutes of charging. The 3220 mAh battery in the Nexus 6 is claimed to last for 24 hours on a full charge.
Nexus 6 will be available for pre-order through the Google Play Store in late October starting at $649. There are two colours to choose from - Midnight Blue or Cloud White - and two memory options - 32GB and 64GB.
Nexus 6 will also be available in stores starting in November.
Google's Nexus 6 will come to 28 countries across Europe, Asia-Pacific and North America starting later this year and as we head into Q1, says Motorola.
Android 5.0 Lollipop, which comes on Nexus 6, Nexus 9 and Nexus Player, will also be available on Nexus 4, 5, 7, 10 and Google Play edition devices in the coming weeks.
