Full Event:






Preorder Nexus 5X (starting at $379) | Preorder Nexus 6P (starting at $499)
Chromecast (2015) | Chromecast Audio (both at $35)

We already knew that the Nexus 5X would be a more affordable option when compared to last year’s Nexus 6. Now it seems that the Nexus 6P is also pushing affordability as one of its key selling points, at least according to a number of new leaks that have surfaced this morning ahead of the official announcement. The Nexus 6P is expected to set US buyers back just $499, with the highest configuration (128GB) priced at just $650. That’s pretty impressive for an all-metal high-end flagship device. As for the Nexus 5X, all rumors indicate it will cost around $379. Unfortunately for European buyers, the situation isn’t quite as rosy. European pricing tends to be higher due to import taxes and other related factors, but the premium here is way higher than anyone probably predicted. The Nexus 6P is will reportedly cost around 650 Euros for the base model, which translates out to about $729. That’s a difference of $229! The situation is similar with regards to the Nexus 5X, which will reportedly cost around 479 Euro for the base 16GB model. That translates out to about a premium of $158. We have to wonder what Google was thinking here. In the past, Nexus phones have often cost more in Europe than in the US, but the gaps here are pretty massive. Missing features like OIS, wireless charging, and a few other things found in phones that offer similar prices in Europe, the latest Nexus family is probably going to be a much harder sell for those across the pond.

SoC: Snapdragon 808 hexa-core CPU with Adreno 418 GPU RAM: 2GB LPDDR3 Display: 5.2-inch 1080p LCD, Gorilla Glass 3 Storage: 16-32GB Camera: rear 12.3MP with f/2.0 aperture and laser autofocus, front 5MP with f/2.2 aperture OS: Android 6.0 Marshmallow Measurements: 147x72.6x7.9mm, 136g Ports: USB Type-C with quick charge, nanoSIM slot, 3.5mm hadphone jack

The Nexus 6P is a flagship device, with a 5.7-inch AMOLED screen and 2560x1440 resolution, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor (version 2.1), 3GB of RAM, and it's available in 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB capacities. The rear camera uses a 12.3 megapixel sensor, which seems a bit low for a top-of-the-line phone. The reason is that it uses 1.55 μm pixels, a design similar to the "ultrapixel" cameras used on some older HTC designs. It allows more light into the sensor and makes for sharper, brighter pictures. There's a trade-off for that capability: unlike the Nexus 5 and Nexus 6, the Nexus 6P doesn't use optical image stabilization. The front-facing camera is 8 megapixels, and the phone does not use a MicroSD card slot. The biggest addition compared to previous iterations of the Nexus design is the "Nexus Imprint" fingerprint sensor on the rear of the device, something that it shares with the Nexus 5X. Android 6.0 natively supports fingerprint sensors for unlocking the phone and other portions of the software. The body design is vaguely similar to other high-end Huawei phones, with a fully aluminum case (another Nexus first) and a large "bump" on the front of the rear that holds the camera and flash modules. The front features dual stereo speakers and Gorilla Glass 4, and the phone's software uses virtual navigation buttons. On the bottom you'll find a USB Type C port, a reversible design that's quickly becoming a new standard for electronics. The battery is 3450mAh and yes, it does use Qualcomm's Quick Charge technology. The phone cannot be charged wirelessly. Physically, the phone is 159.4 x 77.8 x 7.3mm, and weighs 178 grams, about par for the course of a phone this size. Branding includes a large Nexus logo written vertically and a small Huawei logo written horizontally on the rear, and nothing else. Colors are white, black, and aluminum - the gold option seen in leaks seems to have disappeared.

Following its first announcement and a roughly four-month beta test period, Google today announced that Android 6.0 Marshmallow will be widely available starting next week. Unsurprisingly, it will roll out to Google's line of Nexus smartphones and tablets first, with other devices receiving it at a yet to be determined time. Android 6 does not have the huge visual makeover that last year's 5.0 Lollipop brought, but instead is focused around a lot of under-the-hood improvements for better stability and user experience. One of the new features is a power-saving mode called Doze, which lets the system shut down processes when it detects the device hasn't been moving or used for a period of time. Another headline feature is a revised app permissions system, which will give users more control over what data of theirs apps have access to. Marshmallow will let you approve or deny access to things such as camera or location on a case by case basis, much like how iOS has handled permissions. Perhaps the biggest user-facing change is the new Now on Tap feature, which lets Google's search engine look deep within apps and scan content that is displayed on the screen to provide more information about what you're looking at. You'll also be able to ask Google Now for more information in more contextual ways, depending on what you're looking at on your screen. It's not yet clear how many of these features will make it to the broader Android ecosystem, but Nexus owners can expect to be able to enjoy all of them. We'll be putting Android 6.0 Marshmallow to the test in the very near future, so stay tuned for more thoughts on it.

Today is about more than new Nexus devices. Google has also announced a new plan option for Google Play All Access. Rather than paying for multiple individual accounts, family members can now share a single family subscription for $15 per month. We posted this rumor yesterday, and it's now confirmed. The current cost of a single All Access streaming subscription is $10, so even two people would save $5 every month with the family pack. This deal is valid for up to six people too. It's a long overdue change for Google's music streaming service. Both Spotify and Apple already offer family streaming discounts, and Apple Music is supposed to be launching on Android very soon. The All Access family plan is a good value compared to Spotify, which charges $14.99 a month for two members, $19.99 for three members, $24.99 for four, and $29.99 for five members. Apple Music is the same $15 flat rate as Google Play All Access. The new plan option should be rolling out later this year, so you'll have to wait to jump on the family streaming bandwagon. Note, moving to a family account will probably invalidate the launch promo price for individual All Access subs, if you've still got that.

Google has its answer for AppleCare+: it's called Nexus Protect. At its Nexus event today, the company announced that Nexus Protect will offer two years of coverage for "mechanical breakdown." But it also will cover the latest Nexus phones when it comes to accidental damage — also for two years. Nexus Protect will cost $69 when purchased alongside LG's Nexus 5X and $89 when bought when Huawei's Nexus 6P. On stage, Google didn't specify whether there will be a deductible when filing accidental damage claims. But the plans are significantly cheaper than what iPhone customers pay; Apple recently hiked the cost of AppleCare+ to $129 for iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, plus a $99 deductible for accidental damage incidents. Nexus Protect will initially launched in the United States before expanding to other markets where Google's Nexus phones are sold.

Confirmed: Spotify rolling out Chromecast + Chromecast Audio Support

The Chromecast catalog is expanding. Google's new Chromecast Audio does for home speakers what the standard Chromecast does for TV sets: creates a bridge between old tech and modern streaming services. The dongle looks nearly identical to the new disc-shaped Chromecast except instead of HDMI, there's a standard 3.5mm audio port that plugs directly into the back of a speaker. The result is a $35 solution for turning old-school high-fidelity speakers, so-so Bluetooth speakers, or just plain old "dumb" speakers into ones that stream music over Wi-Fi. Users can cast music from Spotify, Google's own Play Music app, or Pandora — basically any app that will support casting. As rumored, Chromecast Audio will support multi-room audio streaming, eventually, but not until sometime later this year. Of course, you'll need a Chromecast for every speaker you want to stream music to. Though it sounds like a simple solution, it's actually a bit of a clunky workaround in some cases. For one, not every speaker / amplifier has a 3.5mm input, so it might require a different kind of cable or adapter. Also, just like its video counterpart, Chromecast Audio needs to be plugged into a power source as well as a speaker, so you'll end up with some extra wiring in the back. So it's a start, and it's certainly something that a lot of consumers have been waiting for. For Google, it's an obvious move in its efforts to expand the Chromecast footprint in the living room. But until we try it — and hear it — in real-world scenarios, we won't be able to say just how useful it is.

Google's high-end Pixel range just expanded. At today's Nexus Event, Sundar Pichai announced the new Pixel C, a 10.2-inch tablet starting at $499. And instead of running Chrome OS, this Pixel runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Like so many of today's reveals, much about the Pixel C recently leaked. However, that doesn't make it any less interesting. The new Pixel eschews the Chromebook form factor that Google used in the original model in 2013 and the more recent refresh. Instead, as a large tablet, it has a lot more in common with the Surface and iPad Pro. Under the hood, the device has an Nvidia Tegra X1 processor and 3GB of RAM, which Google says makes it powerful enough to handle work and entertainment. Onstage, Google took time to highlight how the keyboard will work with tablet. With a full-size $149 keyboard, the device is meant to useful while doing extensive typing. Meanwhile, the tablet itself inductively charges the keyboard so you never have to charge it. The Pixel C tablet and keyboard will both be available in time for the holidays.
