According to reports, the Nexus 5 software will be updated soon and some Android L features could be included to address the complaint about its battery. Nexus 6 reportedly has a 3200 mAh battery, a qHD display with 496 ppi and a 2 MP front camera.

Meanwhile, Google's upcoming Nexus tablet called Nexus 9 will arrive with its official launch on Oct. 15 and release on Nov. 3.

According to reports, the retail price for the Nexus 9 is US$399. It's expected to have an ultra high resolution, powered by NVIDIA Tegra K1 system chip.

It is still unclear whether the device will have a quad-core 32-bit K1 chip or a dual-core 64-bit one suitable for the 64-bit Android L. NVIDIA wrote on its blog that hard-core Android enthusiasts should take note it's already developing the Andriod L on the 64-bit Tegra K1.

HTC is said to have built the Nexus 9 with a unibody and metallic case. Some leaks say it uses plastic material and compensates for the disappointment with 2 GB of RAM, an 8 MP rear camera and BoomSound audio speakers.
