That right there is a strawberry lollipop. Ohh, and the new Nexus 6 and 9 too! Both of these stunners are coming to O2 Refresh soon and you can register here for updates > https://www.o2.co.uk/getupdates

So what can you expect from these new Nexuses? (Nexii? Nexuu's? What's the plural of Nexus? Brain scratcher!). For anyone who's familiar with Nexus devices, you'll already be in the know - they give you the purest Android experience available in an impressive hardware package with looks to match it.

Nexus 9

  • With a soft grip back and subtle curves, the Nexus 9 tablet strikes a slim profile that’s light and comfortable for work or play.
  • Built with a thin bezel, brushed metal sides, clean lines and unique colours, the Nexus 9 tablet is sleek and sturdy.
  • The 8.9" screen is big enough to work and watch on, but small enough to carry around in one hand.

With the older Nexus devices I would always suggest you buy it sim free and get a sim only deal due to the price. With the Nexus 6's price is so high it will be interesting to see if Refresh phone plan is simular or over inflated...

I do hope that O2 will be taking the 64G version of the Nexus 6 because without an SD slot T still want to carry some music and a film or two to watch on this big screen

The Nexus 9 is down in price on Amazon today for those that don't care to wait, around £30 per model.

 

I've gone SIM-free rather than upgrading. I ordered the blue 64Gb Nexus 6 from Carphone Warehouse, was originally given yesterday for delivery but at the weekend was told it would be delivered on 8/12. I can wait, treated myself to a Sony Smartwatch 3 reduced by £60 on Black Friday. I didn't expect CPW would make the 1st but I am optimistic about the 8th.

The new Nexus 9 is the first Lollipop 5.0 device to launch through O2 - wanted to clear up any confusion. Have you had a chance to test out Lollipop yet viridis? What are your thoughts on it compared to KitKat?

Only an aosp version, not tried a "direct from manufacturer" yet.
Aosp did seem quite quick but bit buggy tbh.
