Google has just revealed that the Nexus 6 will be available for pre-order from the Google Play Store starting from October 23rd in the US.
The smartphone is rather beastly, featuring a 5.9-inch QHD display and a body that's 10mm thick. The phone stands slightly taller than the iPhone 6 at 159.3mm, and spans 82.98mm wide. The front will be cased in Corning Gorilla Glass, ensuring that the screen is scratch-proof -- but not shatter-proof.
One of the phone's greatest features is the battery technology. The quick charge feature means that 15 minutes of charging will get you six hours of battery life! Finally, the device is the first to run on the much-anticipated Android Lollipop, which will soon be adopted by other developers and manufacturers.
