On the front, the phone sports an 8-megapixel camera.
As a bonus, according to Google, the phone can be charged in half the time it takes to charge an iPhone 6 Plus.
Available in white, silver, and black with an $89 two-year warranty, the phone comes both unlocked and compatible with Google's Project Fi network.
It's now available for pre-order in many countries, with the 32-gigabyte model selling for US$499, and the 64- and 128-gigabyte models, for $549 and $649, respectively.
Shipping starts in October, 2015.
