Replacing both the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 in one swoop, the new HTC
Nexus 9 has finally been officially unveiled by Google today. The Nexus 9
is the first Nexus device from HTC since the original Nexus One and
also marks the Taiwanese company’s return to the tablet market.
Although early rumors claimed that the tablet would offer a unibody
metallic design that was somewhat akin to the HTC One only in a tablet
form, the final design is actually much closer to the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7
(2013). That means you get a device with a matte soft plastic feel and a
vertical-aligned Nexus logo on the back. There is however a metallic
edge, which is silver on the white version and matte black on the black
one.
Bottom-line, if you liked the last-gen Nexus family’s looks, you’ll
probably enjoy the new Nexus 9 as well. As for the hardware? The Nexus 9
sees a jump up to the world of 64-bit processing and offers high-end
specs all the way around.

The Nexus 9 is powered by a 64-bit Tegra K1 processor, coupled with
2GB of RAM. The namesake display size is actually 8.9-inches, with a
resolution of 2048 x 1536, in a 4:3 aspect ration. Some of the Nexus 9’s
other specs include an 8MP rear camera with a f 2.4 lens, a 1.6MP front
camera, NFC, 16 and 32GB storage options, optional LTE, and Android 5.0
Lollipop right out of the box.
The Nexus 9 easily one-ups past Nexus tablets and is without a doubt
one of the most impressive tablets we’ve seen in 2014. It remains to
be seen whether or not the 64-bit upgrade will make for a truly
noticeable difference in terms of performance, but it’s nice to see
Google pushing forward the 64-bit mobile revolution nonetheless.
Software features
The Nexus 9 will be the first tablet to ship with Android 5.0
Lollipop, and will also be the first Android tablet to be optimized for
64-bit both on the software and hardware level.
Many of us had the opportunity to get to know the Android L developer
preview and so some of the functionality in Android 5.0 will be
familiar, albeit it with several new coats of polish thrown on top.
Staple changes for Android 5.0 include 64-bit support, the new
Material Design interface changes, notification improvements throughout
the UI, improved security and business features, battery optimization
software, and even minor tweaks like searchable settings and revised
quick settings.
As for any Nexus 9-specific changes? As is to be expected from the
Nexus series, you pretty much get a flat-out unedited Android experience
here, but then again, that’s a large part of the appeal for pure
Android fans.
Price and availability
The Nexus 9 will be available in two color options, black and white,
with 16GB or 32GB of storage (Wi-Fi version) or 32GB of storage only
(LTE version). Here are the prices:
- 16GB WiFi – $399
- 32GB WiFi – $479
- 32GB LTE – $599
The Nexus 9 will ship from November 3, with pre-orders set to start Friday, October 17.
