Nexus 6

Finally Google reveals its flagship smartphone Nexus 6 few minutes ago.As the rumors and prediction Google tied up with Motorola in this venture. The most highlighting feature of Nexus is, Nexus will be released with the latest Android version and they will receive update faster than anyone else. Nexus 6 will be packed with the latest Android version 5.0 or Android L(Lollypop).

Nexus 6 looks identity to the Motorola's Moto X(2nd gen). After years latching on to 4.x versions, Android jumps to 5.0 version with a major UI change, performance bump up and battery consumption. Google call the design as Material design, it make everything more lively. Android L promise to deliver much better experience in multitasking than older versions.

"Part of the reason why we've done Nexus devices in the past is that we want to build an amazing device that kind of showcases what's possible on Android, gives a way for the programmers to get early builds, does a whole bunch of things that are important. Exactly what we do, which devices we do, what the timing is, how we release the software with them, all those things have been changing." - Larry Page
