If it is indeed true then I don't understand they why can't include it on the phone too.

its because google doesnt want to have to licence fat32 or exfat from microsoft. people would expect their computer to be able to read the card ifi t had one and that means you cant just use ext4 formating for it.

are you all missing the point?

Why in a tablet and not the phone if true? Surely it should be all or nothing.

my guess would be because the manufacturer insisted on offering one, thats if it actually has one. i am still sceptical.

If the nexus 6 is the same size as the IP6+ I'll have to give it a miss. The width on that picture would make it very difficult for 1 handed usage never mind the height.

I believe it's going to be taller and wider, at least.

whats the speculation on pricing?

£329 & £359 32 & 64gb models.

When I had the OnePlus One that 5.5" was slightly too big, but I may consider a 5.5" if it comes however anything over and I'm out.

They'll surely have to offer a significant n5 price drop?

wishful thinking imo - would be amazed if the 64gb is under £450

joelk2 · 15 Oct 2014 at 12:10

Hmm last comparison which took the footprints made it look smaller than the ip6+ and now this shows otherwise... all these damn speculative leaks are annoying! Just announce the damn thing Google!!

Apparently the Nexus 9 will have an sd-slot.

Phone Arena saying:

The Nexus 9 is expected to be the first of the two to go on sale, with pre-orders starting on October 17th, and sales kicking off on November 3rd. The 9-inch tablet carrying the HTC Volantis codename will bring dual front-firing speakers, and be powered by Nvidia’s Tegra K1 chip in its 64-bit variation, with two large Nvidia Denver CPU cores and a Kepler 192-shader GPU.

The rest of the Nexus 9 specs are as rumored painted them: an 8.9-inch display with a resolution of 2048 x 1440 pixels, weight of 480 grams, and a 8MP rear camera as well as a 3MP front cam. HTC and Google have settled on using a brushed aluminum frame rather than a full-on metal body in order to keep price down.

The Nexus 9 price starts at $399 for the basic, 16GB Wi-Fi-only model, while a 32GB option with 4G LTE on board costs $499. You’ll have the option of expandable storage via microSD cards, a welcome change of course for Google’s Nexus series.

There are expecting both devices to launched between 1pm-2pm ET today

Ain't going to be cheap - reckon £300 for the 16GB?

Looks like the party's over.

Nexus 4 to a 5 for me.

BlackDragon · 15 Oct 2014 at 13:33

Price is higher than I was expecting.

Now I'm trying to decide if I should go for the 32GB or 64GB model. Given the resolution of the screen, I think it would be a good idea to go for the 64GB as games and video will take up a lot more space.
