Surely the 13 mp front facing camera is not real?

emo72 · 15-10-2014 5:34pm

They got front and back mixed up on the specs. HTC does have a phone with a 13mp front facing camera though!

Looking through the Lollipop site I like this

Screen pinning: pin your screen so another user can access just that content without messing with your other stuff

The Player? was anyone expecting that? i remember when they announced the chromecast and they were showing what it does, i was saying to the missus as i was watching it "that will be about 150 dollars, if we're lucky 100 dollars".....39 DOLLARS!!!!!! we can buy loads of them!!! i hope the player is equally great value for money

Bit disappointed by this tbh.
only 1gb ram 8gb internal storage and no ethernet.
Will be sticking with the pi at the telly for a bit till I see this in action.
And it's an intel cpu ?

Atomic Pineapple · 15-10-2014 5:44pm

99 dollars for the player it seems.

No Lollipop love for the Nexus 4 it seems

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.

Its the same age as the Nexus 10 and is younger than the Nexus 7 so seems to have been left out in the cold

i thought it was confirmed that the 4 was getting it? im confused.

AlanS181824 · 15-10-2014 6:01pm

I hope this Player is around $50, $100 seems a bit much for a glorified Chromecast that can play games!

My Chromecast cost me £20 and it's one of the best things I've bought in years!

emo72 · 15-10-2014 6:06pm

is the nexus 5 after getting an update? new body?

Link to the full spec list is here. Have to admit it's bloody impressive, though that price tag is a knock back.

I'd love to buy it, but at that price I really doubt it'll be anytime soon.

500 euro :eek:

The only way I'll be getting it

So keep it quiet, when I'm shocked at Google not putting the N6 in the box my lawyers will be after them :P

listermint · 15-10-2014 7:55pm

Nexus 6.is so so big. But its beautiful. I want it.

gzoladz · 15-10-2014 8:02pm

How much ran for the n9?

wotzgoingon · 15-10-2014 8:03pm

Damn €649, iphone and samsung territory there. No more cheap nexus devices. But it has killer specs though. And here was me thinking before I seen the price but seen the specs that I was sorry I bought the Oneplus one. Not any more though. Oneplus one is a great piece of kit it was really the higher resolution screen plus updated CPU+GPU that had me thinking I was sorry I bought it.

That's been updated in the last couple of hours. Typo. Google really are good at QC ðŸ˜‰

BionicRasher · 15-10-2014 8:24pm

Really not liking the size of the 6. Hope they bring out a smaller version.
The size of the phone rules out any of the docking units I have in the cars and really think it's too big to be thrown into my pocket.

5starpool · 15-10-2014 8:34pm

Are they still selling the 5 as well to have a cheaper pricepoint for a Nexus phone? If so this might be the way they do things in future as well for the Nexus range with a cheaper 5" device and a premium 6" one.

beardybrewer · 15-10-2014 8:36pm

Anyone tempted to settle for a Nexus 10 now that the prices should come down? I just browse and use apps, no gaming or media really. Seems they are pretty cheap and still not a bad tablet for the price.

Motorola gave the details nearly straight away on their plans.

Looks like February at latest for us HTC M8/M7 owners.
