Google announces the Nexus 6, Nexus 9 and Android 5.0 Lollipop

[gshaw]

The Nexus 9 is now listed in Google's Play Store. Same prices as Amazon.

 

• Nexus 9 (£319-£459)
  
• Nexus 9 Keyboard Folio (£110, coming soon)
  
• Nexus 9 Covers (£35, coming soon)
  

:eek:

 

 

£110 for a plastic keyboard that costs peanuts to make, all these manufacturers must be laughing all the way to the bank!

 

The design suggests Microsoft got the folding keyboard cover right with the Surface and others are copying now. Shame MS squandered the opportunity with Windows RT.

£320 starting price, £80 for another 16Gb of storage and £110 for a keyboard cover! Looks like it's the end of the line for reasonably priced Google Nexus devices

 

It says a lot that they've priced it at exactly the same level as an iPad Mini 3 (£320). Except for £400 Apple actually give you more memory! I guess the new Tegra K1 is probably a tad faster than the Apple's previous gen A7 but even though...... I don't see Google shifting many of these.

It seems that way unfortunately. I guess Google are no longer interested in selling Nexus devices at (or around) cost price.

 

The 32GB Nexus 9 with keyboard cover is almost approaching the price of the cheapest Surface Pro 3 and that comes with 64GB storage, double the RAM (4GB), Core i3 and a digitizer!

A Tegra K1 touchscreen Chromebook only costs £280. That's £39 less than the cheapest N9 and it comes with a keyboard.

Google's keyboard case is exactly the same price as the Surface Pro 3 Type Cover.

The Nexus 6 is now available to pre-order in the Play Store (if you are American).

The Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 have also been officially discontinued.

 

 

If/when Google Play for Education comes to the UK, it's going to be quite expensive buying Nexus 9s for students.

I bet Amazon are going to get a lot of cancelled orders for the Nexus 9!

I'm hoping against hope that Motorola release their Verizon (US) exclusive DROID Turbo in the UK, as it looks the better phone than the Nexus 6 - 5.2" screen (1440p), 2.7GHz quad core + Adreno 420, 21MP camera and a claimed 48 hours of battery. Motorola stay close to stock Android as well, and keep up with updates.

 

Probably won't be cheap, mind...
