Google Inc. has unveiled its much-awaited flagship device, the Nexus 6, and it looks like a bigger version of the Moto X second generation. The resemblance between the two devices was expected as Motorola manufactured Google's latest device but they are two handsets with different specifications.

The 32GB variant is priced at $649, and $699 for 64GB variant.
On the other hand, the Moto X (2nd Generation) sports a 5.2-inch (1080 x 1920p) AMOLED capacitive touchscreen with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection, and 424 ppi (pixels per inch), powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 Quad-core processor and runs on Android v4.4.4 KitKat (Upgradable to Android 5.0 Lollipop).
