Google held a massive event yesterday at its Mountain View headquarters. Essentially, it was all about its latest gen Nexus flagships – the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P. Apart from these flagships, Google also unveiled two versions of Chromecast along with its first ever laptop-cum-tablet convertible, Pixel C. Hence, there weren’t many surprises in store as most of these devices have already been covered in previous weeks.
Nevertheless, here’s a look at the five devices unveiled at the event, a few among them being a complete surprise.
Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X
Deemed as Google’s ‘most premium phone ever’, the Huawei-made Nexus flagship comes with several upgrades from its previous iteration. It sports an all aluminum metal clad body giving it that premium flagship feel that comes in white, gray and graphite finishes. It also features the new integrated fingerprint sensor on the back called as Nexus Imprint.
The smartphone gets a 5.7 inch AMOLED display with a QHD resolution. Powering the smartphone is a Snapdragon 810 octa-core chipset bundled with 3GB of RAM. The flagship Nexus 6P will be available in three storage variants i.e. 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB, which have been priced at $499, $549 and $649 respectively.

It’s the time to meet the second-gen Chromecast, which sports an entirely revamped design language. The company has ditched the old USB-stick design as it now features a circular body and also comes in multiple color options.
Google claims that the new Chromecast streams high-res content much faster than its previous model, with substantially less buffering. It’ll cast videos in 1080p by default and has new features like universal search in apps, along with improved content discovery and better Wi-Fi strength.

Chromecast Audio
Now this was a surprise that Google had in store for us; a music streaming device called Chromecast Audio. It essentially allows users to stream audio on their speakers via Wi-Fi networks. It can detect devices on the same network and then casts audio from them to speakers. Moreover, the best part is that Spotify has added support for the device, allowing users to stream songs directly via the Spotify app.
Pixel C
And finally the company unveiled its first ever laptop-cum-tablet convertible called the ‘Pixel C,’ which seems to be no slouch either. It gets a 10.2 inch 2560x1800p resolution along with a quad-core Tegra X1 processor bundled with 3GB RAM under the hood. Just like the new Nexus smartphones, the company has used the USB Type-C port in the convertible.
