So the Nexus 4, which is just under 2 years old, won't support Lollipop? Considering the device is from Google and not through a carrier I would expect better. No pricing on the Nexus 6 but I would expect it will cost a lot more than Nexus devices have in the past. And at only 1 inch less than their Nexus 7 tablet it seems ridiculously large. At what point is it a tablet that makes calls and not a phone?

Nexus Player is very interesting though - but again it all depends on the price which they haven't mentioned.

Edit:

As people below have pointed out they changed the page to include the Nexus 4 after my post.

Anyone know if there's a way to find out if my phone (HTC One M8) will be able to upgrade to 5?

Rumours are HTC One will get an upgrade in the next 90 days:

Wondering if my HTC One Google Edition will get the update sooner..

Yes, per HTC:

> We will begin rolling out updates to the HTC One (M8) and HTC One (M7) worldwide within 90 days of receiving final software from Google, followed shortly thereafter by other One family members and select devices.

More importantly they were still selling it less than a year ago.

Thanks. Can't see the Nexus 5 US price so basing this off the UK price. Looks like between $200-300 extra.
