TK IS A NOT A RELIABLE SOURCE!

HES NOT EVEN A SOURCE!! lol

Don't use this guy as a source. This guy is a jackass. Seriously. He claims to have inside 'sources' but has been wrong about EVERYTHING!

Everyone calls him out on his YouTube channel and always has BS excuses. This guy is a joke and doing it all for attention.

For a guy who has 'leaks' 'sources' 'inside people' and other ' ' he sure doesn't talk, film or inform the public in a general manner. He's constantly bashing people (even though he's as fake as they get) and is VERY unprofessional about these things. I'll put my money on The Verge before thus guy and I hate the Verge and their bias views.

[Nexus 6  General] donnyp1:
I still think a 6" screen will be just fine. I also think it will attract more buyers from iPhone 6plus and note 3/4, who don't want to pay an absurd amount. With the right marketing, this could be the best selling nexus yet. I think that is their thought, crack into those other markets
[Nexus 6  General] DT84:

I'm more interested in the reddit guy who claims to have used the phone. The information he seems to be posting is random though, so I'm skeptical. Do you guys think he's legit?

When folks in 2011 were complaining too large they were talking phone not display. In 2011 you got a heavier wider phone with 4.4" screen than 2014 4.95" screen. The complaints about phone too wide and too heavy still apply. The issue on width is your finger ends hold the phone left edge then thumb must touch the left edge of the display. Smaller bezels and thinner depth allow a slightly bigger width screen. The old example the phone's diagonal was 1.3 times the screen diagonal vs N5 1.22.

So the concerns now are timeless for a single hand operated device. The only difference I see is mental comfort factor and image and both those are only irrelevant fashions relative to hand size truths.
[Nexus 6  General] Dr Faustus:
I am skeptical myself, but I did some more research on him. He does have some links to some previous articles regarding leaks that he has supposedly done before but that can be taken for whatever will.

In the reddit thread I asked him if the Device was LTE/4G usable which he acknowledged and confirmed to have such when he was supposedly using it. He does not have any knowledge for what bands it will have but it seems that its not likely a VZW released device. Finally doing some work on my end his location comparing with Coverage Maps shows that T-Mobile is LTE strong over his town where the Nexus device was rumored to be when he supposedly used it.

Could he be telling the truth? Hell if I know. Its not impossible but at the same time without any further evidence to back up his claims other than the CPUID screencaps its hard to take his word as fully true.

I say if he was able to back up his claims with better evidence such as a screenshot of the device in the open or some other kind of proof he would be far more legitimate in proving his claim. He claims that his friend that uses the prototype is very cautious about leaking it but honestly with the information and location this person has leaked out already it would not be hard for Moto/Google to track the prototype user in the area since they likely keep track of these people to prevent leaks of said hardware. This user has already said too much if his claims are accurate and putting his friend in jeopardy with his contract being potentially violated.

All I can say is that for a few days I will keep an eye on the user. If he coughs up anything new I want to be there to see it.

[Nexus 6  General] msal:
Sorry, if this has been posted, but... I'm a bit confused. DPI =/= PPI, right? If they are the same thing, then 560 ppi = 4.99 inch display, which contradicts all the leaks and rumours so far.
[Nexus 6  General] Batfink33:
DPI is different from PPI. You can easily alter the DPI in the build.prop of most phones.
[Nexus 6  General] msal:
Thanks.

Is there anyway we can determine screen size from these screenshots? All the rumours do point to a 5.9ish device but I'm just curious.

No leaks at all. These are just rumors, and mocks ups. Pretty much everything we already know.

Who ever made that video was on crack.
[Nexus 6  General] stevew84:
How do we know that these spec leaks are even legitimate? I'm currently on the G3 and it's already pushing the limits for my one handed use, anything larger would almost be a deal breaker.

The N5 has been my favorite device after owning the M7, S5 and now the G3, but I'm not too familiar with Moto and I've never actually held the Moto X or the new X, but the LG build N5 was so solid for being plastic.

I'm hoping nothing larger than a 5.5", and price points at $450-$499.
[Nexus 6  General] Jimlarck:
Well for starters, more than one source has been claiming 5.8-5.9 since Mid-september now. So these specs being fake would be unlikely at this point.

Reason why everyone is denying that it could be a 5.9 is because a lot of people don't want it. If it was rumored to be 5.2 inches I'd bet nobody would be having their doubts, and if so, just a small minority.
[Nexus 6  General] stevew84:
I thought the mention of a certain ppi kind of solidified a 5.2 device? Assuming the leaked specs are true.
[Nexus 6  General] Dr. Krieger:
There was no mention of ppi, but only of dpi, which is another thing entirely.
[Nexus 6  General] Jimlarck:
Didn't mean to thank, but anyway. It's not PPI that was being displayed, it was DPI.

DPI is density per inch, PPI is pixels per inch. Two different things. I can change my DPI but I can't change my PPI. The DPI just says how big things are on my screen. The Nexus 5 has a 480DPI, the Galaxy Nexus is about 360DPI (I think). If anything the DPI is telling us that the phone will be bigger. But then again DPI isn't that huge of a factor when it comes to size.

EDIT: DPI is not always the same as PPI.
[Nexus 6  General] stevew84:
Well yea, I know the difference, but thought I read the PPI somewhere, I don't know, price point is everything at this point. I've been torn between keeping my G3 or selling to get the Moto X.
[Nexus 6  General] Jimlarck:
PPI is somewhat irrelevant right now. If some benchmark said it had a 530~ PPI then it would debunk the 5.9 inch rumor. If it had a 490~ PPI, then the 5.9 inch rumor would be confirmed.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Why would he leak a screenshot of the N6 and then deliberately cover up the screen information? I think Google are enjoying this speculation ha

.....Yet the Note 4 already has a delay in the UK due to an 'overly high demand of the device'

& yet the LG G3 outsold the LG G2
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
What's wrong with a G3 to worth moving? Perfects phone don't exist, you know that right?

I'd never buy the G3 just on cost basis, I bought N5 then OPO. I think the cost of both N5 and OPO combined is only slightly more than one G3.

Many posts here are either are on N5 now and love it but want better (usually battery life) or they were on N5 and moved away and regret it.....

What's that saying? Market wants a N5 again, just improved battery and a few other organic changes like better camera (and camera software). Well, you can't really make anything significantly better than N5 til next year when Snapdragon 808 comes out, talking doubling battery life combined with Android L. That possible (logical it exists) phone is out there eventually as market will provide. Might not be a Nexus though if Google don't want that market.

If you don't like the rumored 6" N6 then sit it out I suggest on what you have now itself will get better over time as ROMs and kernels support it progressively better. The N5 didn't really fix its worse problems til 6 months old with various kernels and camera APKs.

If you like N5, its dropping in used price still about $270-$280 currently for mint.

---------- Post added at 09:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 AM ----------

Of the 300 Million smartphones sold every 3 months, what proportion is a Note 4?

Margins per handset are higher in big phones as they sell to those who decide to buy it first and don't care about price. Success is assured in big phones, if you can make a big phone which isn't so thin it bends (Crapple). That doesn't mean in % market share you're going to win though.

As Google is really using Nexus to help stimulate Android, on which it pushes Google services on which it makes bulk of its profit, if you make a big phone you'e going to inevitably cause less of those phones to exist, and so do less of a service to Android. So the criticism is not of a yet-another-big-phone but the rumored claim this will be the only Nexus. If Google released a 6" now and a 5" next year, then that would be cool.
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
Bigger is better!

Even Apple users see it....

Macrumours: Supply of Apple's iPhone 6 Plus may gradually improve as Apple shifts production in favor of the unexpectedly popular handset, according to upstream supply chain sources speaking to Digitimes. This claim echoes an earlier report that suggests the iPhone 6 Plus may account for up to 60 percent of total future iPhone 6 device shipments.
[Nexus 6  General] stevew84:
I never said anything was "wrong" with the G3, the development is lacking due to the locked bootloader on I think every variant besides T-Mobile....so there's that, but nothing is really wrong with the phone itself. And as far as prices goes, I brought up the Nexus 6 because one of the focal points for all of the previous Nexus devices have been to be cheaper than other flagships...so a $100 jump in price over the N5 would make sense.

When I get a phone, there are multiple things I look at, the first being build QUALITY, not so much the design, the M7, N5 and G3 are superb in this department, which is why I've owned all three, then there is the display quality and the development community. The M7 has a GPE variant and I took a chance on the G3 having fast dev basically due to the fact LG put out the N5, so I figured the bootloader would be unlocked across the board, but I was wrong.

So as it stands now, the only thing turning me off about the G3 is the lack of CM/AOSP. I brought up the questionable build quality of the N6 because if it is in fact a Moto X clone, I'd like to see how the Moto X feels in the hand considering I've never owned a Motorola phone.

Oh, and the manufacturers are reaching a point where going any larger will alienate a lot of the general public. Or we might start seeing a lot of "mini" variants of the popular flagships, which doesn't make any sense to me.

5"-5.5" screen with a narrow bezel is right where it's at, for me at least.
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
Agreed in so far there is a spectrum of market demand which includes bigger phones. The challenge is you only sell one phone and that one phone is 6". If you then bear in mind that one phone is sold at cost for the purpose of giving developers a reference Android platform to stimulate Android on which many more non-Google phones are sold (who then use Google services which is kerching! the whole point for Google), if you make that one phone less popular by it being too big, you've weakened your entire business model. Apple don't care total units old, they care total handset profit. Google cares about total handset sold, not handset profit as they make their profits on the back-end services on per-handset basis.

If you cite Apple, then also observe they made a Nexus 5 size phone, and a larger phone. If Google did same then we'd have choice.

Most here are on N5 as good specs great price. Nexus 5 is that price because it wanted max N5 sold. Fewer N6 will be sold than N5.
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
You are looking at google like they are an OEM.

Google does not need to make a choice, Android already has endless choices.

You either buy the Nexus, or not.
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
Gotcha. I bought N4, N5, OPO, didn't bother with G3.

For many, particularly wanting better battery life, on the N5 jumped to the OPO.

I've got OPO invites more than I can handle, I got ones expiring soon if you want one PM me. Its fully unlocked running CM or many other ROMs I think PA is next choice. It makes sense as a 2nd phone to put in on days you're wanting more a bigger screen and battery life. An OPO alongside a N5 is one combo. OPO new $360 delivered, N5 used mint $270. Total $630 which isn't much more than a G3. I also mention OPO+other phone if OPO breaks its 3 weeks battling and return to china type. Mine not broke, neither my son's.

For my hands, my OPO whilst fast stable (I've had ZERO problems) I tried to get used to size its just too big for me, going back to N5 and skipping N6 and get whatever market makes next year which might be a smaller OnePlusTwo, or Nexus 2015 version, whatever.

When I want a bigger screen than phone which fits in hand+pocket, I use tablets which are much better than phones anyway for serious hours-use. Got Gpad 8.3 $199+tax+$30 64GB SD, running CM11 M11+Redkernel, Nexus 10 $279 Thunderkat+Koush+F2FS.

---------- Post added at 09:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 AM ----------

Logic fail. If Android has endless choices then Google drop Nexus altogether. Ponder that logic and rethink why Google has Nexus anyway.

Correct, and at 6" most won't buy it. then apply logic to why Nexus exists, then wait for penny to drop.
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
Lmao a Nexus won't sell?

Even you yourself, who seem to not like a large device, bought a OnePlus for the same reasons!

High specs at lower prices.

Did you not?
[Nexus 6  General] donnyp1:
I would say 50% of apples total phone sales is not " a smaller market". That is a huge amount of phones, probably a lot more than all nexus models combined.
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
Logic error made up from 3 facts. With N5 in my hand, I had grave misgivings about the OPO size. However, OPO created a commercial construct where new OPO sold from owners higher than new from store due to scant supply so meaning I knew i I didn't like I'd sell for a profit, the wiser for having tried it.

Buy a N6, if Google makes enough of them, and regret it, sell for a loss.

The problem wit the OPO of too big, is even worse for N6, even wider. My son who has bigger hands has no problems with OPO,at 5.5" but even he would have more problems with 6".

If you're making the point that every phone has a market, that is true. The issue with the rumored N6 is not its existence but it existing as the sole Nexus phone, which will be less popular than the N5 as polls show, and then the consequence on Android.

Nexus exists:

- to be reference developer platform for Android

- sold near to cost to maximise units sold, not handset profits

- needs high enough end GPU, CPU memory, storage, to run all software and allow for debugging and tuning in a stable platform.

- produces stable Android apps on which then pulls Android users who buy mostly non-Nexus running vendor skinned versions.

So if you make a Nexus 6 as only Nexus:

- fewer phones exist

- reduced developers own

- fewer users pulling developers

- slowing of Android development

Any of course, why Android:

- its the go-to platform in the hand

- it wasn't dominate yet by Microsoft

- Google sell Android with gapps which Chrome an other apps point to adverts and services on which you maintain a $B business.

Hence a Nexus 6 by itself is an illogical decision for Google.

QED

I reckon the brains they buy at Google will release a 5" Nexus soon, and if the 6" is happening, then it means 2 phones. I'll but that one, as will a significant % who buy the N6 due to too-big for majority (and I chose every word carefully, e.g. majority does not mean all, all phones have a market).
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
You do a lot of whining!

The Nexus 6 has been in the life of this thread:

- not happening no more Nexus

- not happening, Android Silver

- 5.2"

- 5.9"

- and its not actually released

So you're asking someone to go away because of a rumor is assumed true?

http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_nexus_6_goes_through_cpuz_reveals_specs-news-9881.php

as one of the comments mentioned, if this shamu really is nexus 6, 1440p with 560ppi is definitely not 5.9".

the 5.5" G3 is 534 ppi which means the nexus 6 got screen smaller than 5.5".

if its smaller than 5.5", it can explain why in the leaked bus/train pictures the phone looked not phablet at all, it looked pretty compact.
[Nexus 6  General] SetPT:
It was already explained why it says 560ppi.

It's going to be a 5.9" smartphone, dont fight it no longer.
[Nexus 6  General] deeren:
Lots of you keep saying that nexus is about being cheap bla bla bla and they are subsidised... Well the n4, n5 and n7 were cheap cause they were made by lg and Asus. On the other hand the nexus one, nexus s, galaxy nexus and nexus 10 were very expensive; and they were sold at the same prices as the other flagships back then. Anyway, if the rumours turn out to be true and it is made by Motorola with the same form factor....as the motox, then i don't think the new Nexus would be cheap. Hope i am wrong though cause I intend to get one at launch.:p
[Nexus 6  General] stevew84:
No where on that document does it state the shamu is 560ppi, but there is a dpi reference. Also, how can it be known for a fact that the device is 496ppi?

Hangouts MEGAHangout for Nexus

Last year a group of people got together in an invite-only hangout, and I was a part of it. It was mainly about keeping everyone updated on news, rumors, and speculations on the release date. Most of the people were able to get their hands on the first batch of devices sold so it was worth having others shouting the news when it was up on the play store. I actually remember that it wasn't showing up unless you followed a URL someone in the group created by following the Nexus 4 URL format. Overall, it was fun going off topic and meeting some interesting people, to say the least. I'm just wondering if you guys are interested in doing the same thing again for the Nexus this year? Who knows we might be the first to figure out a way to purchase the device before the rest find out it was silently announced.
