Google today announced the launch of its new online Google Store to sell devices made by Google and its partners. Google has been selling its hardware through Google Play for years but decided to launch “a new home for the latest devices made with Google” as its product lineup as steadily grown.
At store.google.com, you can shop Nexus phones and tablets, Chromecast and Chromebooks, learn more about newer technology like Android Wear, Nexus Player and Nest, and stock up on accessories like cases, keyboards and chargers. You’ll see how the Google apps you already know—like Search, Maps and YouTube—work seamlessly with all these products.
The new online Google store will feature everything from the Google Nexus 6 smartphone and Nexus 9 tablet to the growing Android Wear smartwatch lineup and the Nest Learning Thermostat. Unlike the old Devices tab on Google Play, the new site allows Google to focus more not only on the products themselves but the ecosystems around them.
The launch of the Google Store was accompanied by the launch of a new Google Pixel Chromebook (not yet available in Canada). Along with a raft of hardware improvements, it comes with two new USB Type C ports.
