Google release the Nexus 6 smartphone
Recently, Google have released their largest smartphone to date, the Nexus 6. Though the Nexus 6 won't be available for purchase in the UK for a few weeks, the US Google Play store is now accepting pre-orders. Google's main aim, (when designing the Nexus 6,) wasn't chiefly, to design a smartphone or a phablet but, rather, to provide access to a handy, internet friendly device.

What you need to know
- The Nexus 6 display has a higher resolution, (and pixel density,) than the screen on the iPhone 6, allowing users to view high quality videos, (and to surf a variety of web pages,) with relative ease. Google's decision to increase the size of the display on the Nexus 6 also helps to contribute to a more comfortable viewing experience.
- In increasing the size of the screen on the Nexus 6, Google have succeeded in designing a device which is markedly heavier than other phones on the market.
- Google has fitted the Nexus 6 with a Snapdragon 805 processor, allowing users to surf the web, (and to stream videos,) extremely quickly.
- The Nexus 6 will likely seem eye-wateringly expensive to a good number of people: in the US it is priced at $650, (the equivalent of approximately £412.)
- Some reviewers have commented, negatively, on the phone's build quality, (the density/strength of the back plastics, etc.)
- Some reviewers suggest that the Nexus 6 would make an ideal tablet, (rather than a smartphone,) replacement, (given the size, and quality, of it screen.)
