It has been a LONG time coming, but the Nexus 9 is finally here! It's the first tablet on O2 running Lollipop 5.0. Want it? Go get it here!

A very nice review here

Source : The Lowdown. 

The fast charging feature has to set the industry standard for the rest in the sector to take notice and catch up. Imo. 

[MI5]

It's a feature on the Note 4 so I assume it will be on all Premium handsets from now on.......?

[viridis]

Technically most phones with snapdragon 800 and above are capable.

List here as well as the tech behind it.

Interesting article, the technology is already with us and I'm surprised how fast the Note 4 charges.

Annoying that they haven't at least got prices up and ready for pre-ordering.

I understand they are trying to wait it out to see what other providers will offer contract wise in order to compete and be competitive. I don't really care how much it's going to be, I know I want the 64gig Nexus 6 in White. I don't like other carriers, I just want to get it pre-ordered!

Hi SankakuGames and welcome to the forum.

I hope the info you seek is supplied asap.

I also hope the Network handles this launch a little better than the few recent new product launches we've just seen.
