Google didn't actually hold an event for the announcements but, they did actually announce them! The newest devices out of Mountain View are the Nexus 6, Nexus 9, and the Nexus Player. And yes, Android 5.0 is, LOLLIPOP!

Note: I haven't seen any camera samples from the Nexus 6 yet but, judging by the size of the aperture, resolution and the fact that it also has OIS, it will be one of the best phone cameras ever, if not the best.
The Nexus 9's display sizes up to 8.9" with a resolution of QXGA (2048 x 1536). The display is not the standout point but it's the raw processing power of the beastly 64 bit Nvidia Tegra K1. The GPU used is Nvidia's 192 core Kepler. The RAM measures up to 2 GB and this is probably the only thing to concern according to me. GPU's are RAM hungry and I think that 3 GB of RAM would've been more appropriate with the other specs.
Nexus 6
It looks just like all the leaks did and actually, you can name it the "big brother" of the Moto X 2nd Gen.
As you can see, the device looks very similar to the Moto X but it also sports a "Nexus" branding on it. The specs on this beast are out of this world and the price is also not so affordable but I think that the price can be justified, easily.
The Nexus 6 ships with Lollipop out of the box and because it is a Nexus, you can count on Google to be the one of the first ones to be updated to the next version of Android. It sports a 5.96" quad HD AMOLED diplay. Yes, QUAD HD AMOLED!! I told you that the price was worth!
