Interesting thing about the name here.

techtimes.com/articles/15466/20140912/ google-nexus-6-aka-x-rumor-roundup-what-expect-googles.htm

419 for a 32GB version. Still 300 less than a 16GB iPhone 6.

Thinking of giving my iPhone away and moving to the Nexus X and 9.

So it's expected to Next month roughly...

Wouldn't let me post a link so I'd to remove the start of it!

I've articles from tech times pop up in my Google now feed over the summer, based on their track record with accurate predictions with a pinch of salt (unless said rumours are on several sources). I do think we'll see hardware in next 4-6 weeks.

Hoping its not a Phablet though!

Nope it's going to be a Nexus 5 2014 edition, 5.25" screen made by Motorola.

theres also a lot of credible rumors pointing to it being a 6inch phone though, personally i think they may do 2 models like apple, everyone is releasing a phablet these days and i can see google doing the same

Motorola cameras..

Anyone else somewhat apprehensive?

caolfx · 16-09-2014 2:57pm

24GB storage? Just make it 32GB!

Icyseanfitz · 16-09-2014 3:04pm

id actually rather they kept the screen at 1080p instead of QHD, would drain less battery while leaving the the cpu to work quicker on other things

I'd say it probably is 32GB but 24GB after operating system takes a chunk out. Kinda like how people were giving out about the 16GB Galaxy S4 having only 8 or 9GB of usable storage.

Perhaps this is rubbish, but if true, the Nexus 6 could be a very decent improvement over the 5.

Snapdragon 805, 3GB RAM, Adreno 420, 515ppi, 13MP camera. All looks good.

duridian · 16-09-2014 4:05pm

It's looking like it should be a mighty nice device.
I wonder will it share any design cues with the Nexus tablet HTC is bringing out? Kinda like how the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 2013 had a similar matt black type of back cover surface, I mean. As the HTC tab is said to have metal rear, maybe Shamu will also?

Nexus devices have never really been about cameras, if its better than my Nexus 5 ill be ecstatic

Same here, a killer 1080p would suit me perfect

I really hope they keep that budget price tag.

Hopefully it'll be around €300 but if it's more I'd be massively disappointed.

I think we can safely say it'll be more than 300. The Nexus 5 16GB is 350.

Hopefully not much more.

I'd happily pay 400 if they improve the Nexus camera.

I would pay €400 too, it'd hurt but if the specs are what they say they are then I probably would.

Wallet won't be happy though :pac:

Any date for when this will be announced?

None yet but expect late October/Halloween/First week of November.

Mantis Toboggan · 17-09-2014 10:19am

The battery and camera will be important. The nexus 4 and 5 struggled big time with this. Would want to be at least a 3000 mah battery.

There's a good chance they'll be working off of a Moto X '14 base, which has a 2,300mAh battery. It'll require considerably more oomph given the rumoured screen res, but I'm not expecting anything more than a day's moderate use between charges, all things considered.

Wouldn't agree with this as all people said the same about the N5 and the G2, those phones have nothing in common, it will be a Google device.

If only the N5 had the G2's battery!

What time that day? Are you talking about Dublin time or Sydney time? Will they be on the Irish Playstore at that time or just announced then? Will the official flipcase/tpu back case/Qi charger/Dock/Tempered glass screen protector/portable powerbank/all the previous items in a selection of 3 or more colours, be available at launch?

Fitz* · 23-09-2014 4:37pm

Had my Nexus 4 stolen/lost in August. November is a long time to wait! Nearly went for OneplusOne but the Nexus was so good to me, even if not my wallet with my 2 replacement screens!

Any update on a definite screen size yet?

Sonics2k · 25-09-2014 12:34pm

9to5 Google has an apparent leak on the upcoming Nexus 6.

See it here

5.92" QHD display (498PPI)

3200mAh battery

13MP camera and 2MP front shooter

Snapdragon 805 processor

3GB RAM

Not sure how I feel about the screen size, I've seen and used the Lumia 1320 which is 6" and that just felt awkward to use. A 5"2 device I could happily deal with, but anything much more would be too much for me. Maybe they'll go with two models as well.

Still rocking the gnex so hopefully n6 will be released sooner rather than later so I can upgrade. Or should I just bite the bullet now and go for the g3?
