New Nexus 6 & 9 Announced along with Android Lollipop
 
New Nexus Hardware

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-29635958

I was thinking about an unlocked Nexus 6 but at £409 it is too much for a phone so its the Moto G 2014 at £145 from Amazon with a £7 a month sim when my contracted S3 with VM ends or perhaps VM may do a contract as they had the original Moto G

New Android Lollipop

Looks good and the Moto G 2014 will get it shortly too.

I highly doubt it will be that cheap in the UK.

Looks like a great bit of kit though.

No thanks. I'd prefer stock android over cyanagen or however you spell it.

The nexus 9 is still a great price when you look at the specs and still cheaper than an iPad.

Urgh. Oversized and expensive. I was holding out for the upcoming Nexus because previous iterations were neither. :sadface:

I bought my wife a MOTO G 2014 and it's ideal. The screen size is as big as I want in a phone. The phone is very responsive with only a few Motorola Apps on top of the stock Android 4.4 firmware unlike my current S3 which has so much bloat from Samsung it just slows it down!

Coupled with the price it's a steal.

Still more than my pocket can afford..So if my Nexus needs replacing then I'll have to find an alternative..

Waiting until March for my next phone from O2.

I wonder they'll have the Nexus 9 as well as the 6 and I could ask for a package deal from them!

I was all for getting the new Nexus phone until i realised it was a massive 6 inches!!! which in my opinion is far too big, so i will look for an small alternative now.

^^ This.

I'll be getting a Xperia Z3 compact, despite it's rubbish screen resolution it's a sane size and has all the other top end features of the Z3

I have the Z3c it's a cracking phone for those of us that don't want a breeze block sized device, it's 720p so ideal for that size screen plus with the battery saving benefits, I can get a good 1.5 days out of mine despite hammering it. Just make sure you get a case, as the rear is glass.

I also had the 2013 moto G which will get android L very soon, this wasn't a bad performer either, although the 1 GB of RAM was a drawback, it'll be interesting to see what the new Android will do with that.

I have a Z2 and to be honest the screen size is ok, I would have got the Nexus 6 but the screen size is to big.

Won't be having another Sony phone due to poor build quality, phone breaks after being knocked off a arm of a chair on to a carpeted floor from about 2ft.

I have a upgrade coming in about 3 or 4 months and I am waiting to see if HTC bring anything good out then.

I have used a HTC phone for years and years, from the Desire, to Sensation and now the One X Plus. I hope they can produce a decent phone next year, hopefully powered by the Snapdragon 810 just in time for my upgrade.

If not, this looks like a winner. The fact that it'll get timely Android updates helps as HTC have had a habit otf being slow to update their phones and abandoning them in the case of the One X Plus before they were supposed to.
