Here we go to the next announcement that will help me determine which smartphone I will by next. Waiting for the stream to commence.#

I am leaning towards the Nexus 5X, however I am discouraged by the latest news leaks regarding this announcement, particularly the small battery the possibility it won't support wireless charging. If these two items hold true, I may opt for the Moto X Pure. #

Pixel team = aspirational devices. Sounds like the rumors about a Pixel C (is it a tablet or notebook?) may be true too.#

Lots of stats#

Two new Nexus phones, 5X and 6P. #

Nexus 6P#

Another overview of the changes coming with this new release of Android, including Now On Tap. #

Voice Interactions for app developers so they can add voice support to their apps. #

Doze mode is supposed to help with battery life by paying to attention to the phone's physical movement. Hope this really helps the 2700 mAh battery.#

Marshmallow is rolling out next week to Nexus devices.#

Adding more parental controls to Google Play.#

C stands for convertable; basically a 2-in-1.#

Keyboard looks very thin. Looks like a 2" wide magnet attaches the tablet to the keyboard. Connects via bluetooth.#

10.1" screen#

Induction charging between tablet and keyboard, so you don't have to charge the keyboard.#

Farfield mic input so you can talk to the tablet across a room#

Available at $499 for tablet; keyboard costs additional $149 for the holiday shopping season #

3 GB of memory#

Neither phone has wireless charging! #

I was really leaning towards the Nexus 5X before the event rather than the Moto X Pure, but now I am sour on the 5X. Based on price and features, the Moto X Pure looks like a better deal than the 6P. A Moto X Pure, 32 GB with leather back costs $475 but includes a microSD slot where as the Nexus 6P 32 GB costs $499. Is having a Nexus device that gets updates direct from Google worth an extra $25 and no external storage card and no leather.#

Another consideration, the Nexus 6P has a slightly larger battery, 3450 mAh vs. 3000 mAh but has a Type C port that means it won't work with any of my existing micro USB cables.#

One more consideration. Nexus Connect adds $89 to the 6 P price. #

Is Type C charging as fast as the Qualcomm Fast Charging 2 that the Moto X Pure supports?#
