Google unveiled its two new Android devices Monday, despite canceling its big New York City event because of Hurricane Sandy.
Both the new LG Nexus 4 smartphone and Nexus 10 tablet will go on sale Nov. 13, Google announced on its Official Google Blog. Google also announced Android 4.2, a new version of Jelly Bean that gives users Photo Sphere and Gesture Typing.
The Nexus 10 tablet by Samsung is touted as having the best display on the planet -- or around 4 million pixels, according to Andy Rubin, Google's senior vice president of mobile. It also is reported to have a battery life of 500 hours on standby or straight nine hours of video viewing.
Prices for the Nexus 4 start at $299 for 8GB and $399 for the 16GB Nexus 10. The Nexus 4 also uses Photo Sphere, a new panoramic camera tool that gives 360-degree photos. The Nexus 4 handset also doubles as a game controller and has wireless charging. New users will also have access to Google Now, which now has flight information, allows restaurant reservations, hotel confirmations and shipping info.
