Google Announces the Nexus 6 Smartphone Running Android 5.0 Lollipop

Google has announced their latest smartphone, the Nexus 6. The phone will run Android 5.0 Lollipop, which is the latest version of Google’s operating system. The Nexus 6 features an enormous 5.96″ QHD AMOLED screen making it larger than the screens on both the iPhone 6 Plus (see previously) and the Galaxy Note 4 (see previously) which have 5.5″ and 5.7″ screens respectively.

The Nexus 6 also has a 13 megapixel rear-facing camera that features a dual LED ring flash and 4K video capability. The front-facing camera is limited to two megapixels and standard HD resolution. The battery on the Nexus 6 is an enormous 3220 mAh unit that Google claims will last more than 24 hours on a full charge, and can be used for six hours on just 15 minutes of charging time.

The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 805 quad-core 2.7GHz processor as well as an Adreno 420 GPU for graphics processing.
