[Google](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/google-pixel-9-pro-fold) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartphone-filter-kit) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oneplus-turbo-6). 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.
