Google Nexus 6

emo72

Alan I have been using a one plus since I moved on my nexus 5. When you adapt to the screen real estate it's hard to go back smaller. Although I'm sure I said last year 5 inch was the limit! Now it's 6 inch. I swear that's it. No more!

I know for certain that I'm the biggest hypocrite out there at the moment :pac:

I'm giving out about the possibility of a 5.9" phone, but if it's the only one announced, I'll give out for about 20 mins, then buy it

I don't know - I think a 6 inch phone would severely restrict their market share - it's just too big even with really narrow bezels.

Wasn't there a rumour recently that there will be a 64gb Nexus 5 released alongside the new Nexus.

Didn't hear that, but I'd like buy that. I hate streaming music, and I usually stick to phones with microSD card slots.

I can't imagine Google going for that when they have a range of cloud services.

Having gone from the Nexus 5 to the Note 3 I wouldn't be able to use a smaller screen again.
While I like the note 3 I just can't get use to the samsung skin on android so it'll definitely be a Nexus 6 for me and not the note 4. The amount of people who comment on the size of the note 3 is something else so it should make for some slagging if it goes to 5.9

BTW what is all the moaning from the internet about the specs about?
I thought that was all put to bed ast week with the pic of the Shamu beside an LG G3 making the G3 look small!

Yeah I agree, love big phones.

I've a Moto G and Nexus 7 so I'd love a phone somewhere in the middle.

5" or a bit more would be perfect for me although having said that I'm sure I could get used to 6"

Seeing as how Motorola just released the Moto X 2014, I'm afraid that we're not going to see a very nexus like price for this (<450). I can't see them undercutting the X by that much with a superior device....surely that'd be shooting themselves in the foot?

I live in hope but if its above 450 then I'll be sticking with the N5.

Google no longer own Motorola so that shouldn't stop them.

Gran Hermano

I wouldn't be surprised if we see the new nexus phone and some new google experience/silver phones announced at the same time. Might explain the variety of conflicting rumours. Looking like a 5.9 inch super sized new moto x. Google could have a deal with Motorola including a smaller screened project silver phone. Main complaint on new moto x seem to focus on battery life, a larger screen and larger battery in a Nexus version might work better.

Need to decide on new Nexus, Mi4 or OnePlus..

but this is google's phone, not motorola's, the only one who will decide what price these sell for are google, and i dont see them starting with massive prices now, its the perfect time to completely undercut the likes of note 4 and iphone 6 plus, i know if this comes out at 400 il be buying one

Until we know the final specs I would reckon it will be comparable price wise to the N5, probably €400 for 16GB and €450 for 32GB. They'll manage this by not having some of the hardware features of the Moto X such as the infrared sensors on the front used for active screen and possibly not an amoled display? Also will probably only be a Snapdragon 801, none of the tech sites have fully confirmed it will have a 805?

dont see why they would put in subpar specs, the n5 had top of the range for its time, and a subpar cpu will be very noticeable with a 2k screen

Maybe not subpar just lacking some of the features that set the Moto X apart?

id agree with bells and whistles type stuff being absent, but they cant skimp on the cpu/gpu with the reported screen they want to put in

Francie Barrett

Camera, battery, SD card are all features that can be skimped on.

yeah, the n5 had a run of the mill battery and camera from what ive heard, but then the specs that have leaked for this phone say a 3200mA battery which seems pretty sizable imo

droidman123

I cant see them skimping on camera or battery,these are big selling points.

I hope they skimp on the screen size. 5.9 is ridiculous, I have a Nexus 7 tablet for when I want a large screen. Really hope there is a range of devices.

So do we know the release date yet?

Nope, once they announce an event date for the announcement then going by previous years it will be available with a week or two of that date. Going by previous years it will be late Oct/early Nov

I got myself a one plus one three weeks ago. Good phone, maybe I should have waited for this. (Just to get updates first) OPO is a excellent phone by all means. I wouldn't mind a 5.9 inch phone, as I had a Note II and now OPO both 5.5, would never go back to a smaller phone, trust me when you first get it you will be like this is massive and then after a while you realize how did I manage with such a small device, happened me with Note II.

They don't really need mega selling points at all as this is meant to be a dev device not really a consumer one.
Yep they are selling them on/in the store but they don't advertise it as such.

I'm thinking if they put everything people wanted into it and sold it at the typical Nexus price the Sammys and HTCs would be up in arms as why would anyone buy there overpriced phones??

I feel that just like all Nexus devices that came before it they will leave something out that will stop everyone and the Dog buying it... maybe a SD 801 not 805 and maybe 2GB RAM not 3.

I'm also thinking that as mass production of 64bit chips are still a few months off, we are going to see a Nexus update in feb announcing the 5.2'' 64bit version with 805/807 and 3GB.

I'm still using an N4 and I'm leaning towards something smaller next rather than bigger. Definitely don't want a near 6 inch phone.

A google play edition of the xperia z3 compact would suit me I think.

The past few nexus phones have always had high end specs for the time they were released so I can't see them not doing that.

I was talking to a Google rep today and he said he has to head to the UK on the 16th for some event. He had no idea what it's for but giving the timing it's possible that it's a new nexus or something to do with android L.
