Despite canceling a long-planned press event Monday because of Hurricane Sandy on the East Coast of the USA, Google went ahead and unveiled two new Nexus tablets and a Nexus smartphone online.

The announcements came by way of Google’s official blog, with a lengthy post detailing hardware specifications and pricing for each new device.

The Nexus 4, an Android 4.2 powered smartphone with a 4.7-inch display, will start at $299 for an 8GB model, with a 16GB model available at $349. It will be available on November 13th in the US, UK, Australia, France, Germany, Spain and Canada.
