The phone, called Nexus 6, can be reserved at the end of the month and will go on sale in early November. It is a large terminal with six inch screen, QuadHD resolution (2560 x 1440 pixels) and 13 megapixel camera. It will cost 649 euros in its basic version with 32 GB of memory and 699 euros in its 64GB version. The price indicates a shift in strategy. Until now Google Nexus range was carried out by mid-range models.

The third product is presented Nexus Player, a small disk to connect to the TV and will allow access to shows and movies through Google Play service.
