Google's latest Nexus 6 smartphone is now listed on Google India Play Store and is priced at Rs 44,000 for the 32 GB model while the 64 GB model will be available at Rs 49,000 but there is no information on when the phone will go on sale in India.

The new smartphone, called the Nexus 6, boasts a nearly 6-inch screen, eclipsing the 5.5-inch display on the iPhone 6 Plus that Apple began selling last month.

Google is charging a comparable price for the Nexus 6, with prices beginning at $649 for a phone without a wireless contract commitment. That's $300 more than the previous generation, a Nexus 5 with a roughly 5-inch screen.

The Nexus 6 smartphone becomes the newest and largest of the Google-branded handsets, and is produced by Motorola, which Google bought in 2012 and is in the process of selling to China's Lenovo.

Nexus device will run on a new version of Google's Android operating system. The latest software is called 'Lollipop' in keeping with Google's tradition of naming its Android upgrades after treats.

The new smartphone has been built by Motorola, and comes with a 5.96-inch Quad HD screen, as well as a 13 megapixel rear-facing camera. The Nexus 6 also has dual front-facing speakers designed to offer better quality audio.

"The large screen is complemented by dual front-facing stereo speakers that deliver high-fidelity sound, making it as great for movies and gaming as it is for doing work," Google said in a statement.

It also comes with a Turbo Charger, so you can get up to six hours of use with only 15 minutes of charge. It is also the first Nexus device to have a 64-bit processor for increased performance in terms of speed, particularly when playing games.

On the tablet front, Google partnered with Taiwan-based HTC for the 8.9-inch Nexus 9. The device also will cost considerably more, with prices for the Nexus 9 starting at $399 — 74 percent more than its predecessor. That's still $100 less than the starting price for the current iPad Air, which has a nearly 10-inch screen.

The brushed-metal tablet "is small enough to easily carry around in one hand, yet big enough to work on," Google said.

"And since more and more people want to have the same simple experience they have on their tablets when they have to do real work, we designed a keyboard folio that magnetically attaches to the Nexus 9, folds into two different angles and rests securely on your lap like a laptop," Google said in a statement.
