Google finally relieved a lot of people from their agony of waiting for the successor of LG Nexus 5 when it announced the Nexus 6.

Google Nexus 6 will battle head on with Apple's recently announced iPhone 6 Plus. The official pre-order date for the new Nexus smartphone is set on Oct. 29 with no confirmed shipping dates. The iPhone 6 Plus is already available in Apple Store, carriers and retailers.

Below is the comparison of the specs and features of the new Google Nexus 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

The iPhone 6 packs a 4.7-inch screen panel, while the iPhone 6 Plus features a much larger 5.5-inch screen display with 1,920 x 1,080 resolution and 401 ppi. However, this does not come close to Google Nexus 6's 5.96-inch AMOLED display with Quad HD (1440 x 2560) resolution and a pixel density of 493 ppi.

Apple's iPhone 6 Plus packs the new A8 processor, which is reported to be a 20 nm processor with a 64-bit architecture. The Nexus 6, on the other hand, is powered by the latest quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor clocked at 2.7 GHz.
