Google has just raised the gates on Nexus 6 preorders via the Play Store. The Nexus 6 preorder date was unveiled on its Play Store landing page earlier this month and the time has finally come…

Google’s Nexus 6 features a 6-inch QHD display with a resolution of 2,560 x 1,440, a 2.7GHz quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor, Adreno 420 GPU, 3GB of RAM, a 3,220mAh battery, a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera, and a 2-megapixel front-facing shooter. Designed by Motorola, this Nexus looks very similar to the Moto X (2014), but with a much larger display and limited color options.

The Nexus 6 is available for preorder now starting at $649 for the 32GB model. While this is a bit of an increase compared to previous Nexus smartphone launches, this device does pack high-end flagship specifications that are good enough to compete with any smartphone made available in 2014. Google’s Nexus 6 is available in Midnight Blue and Cloud White in 32 or 64GB configurations.

Head over to the Play Store now to preorder a Nexus 6. Will you be picking one up?

Update: It appears that all Nexus 6 models have sold out, but myself and a few others were still able to place a preorder after the fact. By continuously refreshing the page, the “add to cart” button would appear and a few times it actually worked. However, sometimes you’ll be redirected to an empty cart.

We’ve seen several reports via Twitter of others successfully placing an order after the device had “sold out.” Hopefully ou’ll have the same luck. I know this doesn’t help much, but if you’re still trying to get a preorder in, we wanted to give you a little burst of hope. Keep trying, you might get through as well.
