 Google Announces New Android Lollipop, Nexus 6 Smartphone, Nexus 9 Tablet And Nexus Player Streamer

Google Announces New Android Lollipop, Nexus 6 Smartphone, Nexus 9 Tablet And Nexus Player Streamer

Enterprise & IT Oct 15,2014 0

As it was expected, Google today officially introduced the next version of the Android OS, codenamed "Lollipop", along with the 6-inch Nexus 6 smartphone, the 8.9-inch Nexus 9 tablet and the Nexus Player. As previewed at Google I/O, Android 5.0 Lollipop is Google's largest, most ambitious release on Android with over 5,000 new APIs for developers. Lollipop is designed to be flexible, to work on all your devices and to be customized for you the way you see fit.

With Lollipop, it’s easy to pick up where you left off, so the songs, photos, apps, and even recent searches from one of your Android devices can be immediately enjoyed across all the other ones.

Lollipop has a consistent design across devices- an approach Google calls Material Design. Content responds to your touch, or even your voice, in more intuitive ways, and transitions between tasks are more fluid.

Lollipop also gives you more control over your device. You can now adjust your settings so that only certain people and notifications can get through, for example, when you’re out to dinner or in the middle of an important meeting. And when an important notification does come through, you can see it directly from the lockscreen.

In addition, there is a new battery saver feature that extends the life of your device by up to 90 minutes—helpful if you’re far from a power outlet. Google has enabled multiple user accounts and guest user mode for keeping your personal stuff private. And you can now secure your device with a PIN, password, pattern, or even by pairing your phone to a trusted device like your watch or car with Smart Lock.

Working with Motorola, Google developed the Nexus 6. This new phone has a contoured aluminum frame, a 6-inch Quad HD display, an f2.0 lens and 13 megapixel camera with optical image stabilization. It uses computational photography technology and HDR+ to take great photos.

The large screen is complemented by dual front-facing stereo speakers. It also comes with a Turbo Charger, so you can get up to six hours of use with 15 minutes of charge. The battery onboard is rated at 3220 mAh.

Nexus 6 is powered by a Snapdragon 805 quad-core 2.7GHz processor and the Adreno 420 GPU.

 

Next, Google built a new tablet in partnership with HTC. Nexus 9, with brushed metal sides and 8.9-inch QXGA (2048x1536) Gorilla Glass 3 screen, is small enough to easily carry around in one hand. It comes equipped with front-facing HTC BoomSound speakers, a 64-bit Tegra K1 processor, 2GB RAM (16GB & 32GB storage), 8MP Rear and 1.6MP Front cameras and has LTE connectivity.


Google designed a keyboard folio that magnetically attaches to the Nexus 9, folds into two different angles and rests on your lap like a laptop.

Google is also releasing the first device running Android TV: Nexus Player, a collaboration with Asus, is a streaming media player for movies, music and videos. It's also an Android gaming device. With Nexus Player you can play Android games on your HDTV with a gamepad, then keep playing on your phone while you're on the road. Nexus Player is Google Cast Ready so you can cast your favorite entertainment from almost any Chromebook or Android or iOS phone or tablet to your TV.

The device is powered by an 1.8GHz Quad Core, Intel Atom processor and a Imagination PowerVR Series 6 Graphics 2D/3D Engine. It has 1GB RAM, 8GB storage, 802.11ac 2x2 (MIMO) Wiooth 4.1 conectivity.

Nexus 9 and Nexus Player will be available for pre-order on October 17 and in stores starting November 3. Nexus 6 will be available for pre-order in late October and in stores in November - with options for an unlocked version though Play store, or a monthly contract or installment plan through AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular and Verizon.

Android 5.0 Lollipop, which comes on Nexus 6, Nexus 9 and Nexus Player, will also be available on Nexus 5, 7, 10 and Google Play edition devices in the coming weeks.
