From what I've gathered thats a droid turbo variant for at&t. Much like the atrix att carried which was the same as the bionic for Verizon. Measurements are for the entire phone not just display.
[Nexus 6  General] Kushblow:
Guys will it be a ****storm this time around at launch?

My last experience using the Google Play store was when the launch of the N4, and that thing sold out in minutes as soon as it was released, despite 50% of people having issues accessing the page. Furthermore, they took one whole month to ship the damn thing.

Does this cycle repeat itself? I wouldn't know, I skipped the N5 launch entirely because it wasn't such a drastic update from the N4. Although, this Nexus X might be. Yes, nexus X not nexus 6 or else they would run into copyright issues with Blade Runner.
[Nexus 6  General] MrKaon:
Sale of Nexus 5 was smooth, they learnt their lesson from N4.
[Nexus 6  General] jayRokk:
I'm willing to bet 100$ that's exactly what it is.

I still think we're not getting a nexus phone this year. Only android L
[Nexus 6  General] ricey1986:
I have a sneaking suspicion you are right, but I hope to god were wrong
[Nexus 6  General] jayRokk:
I hope I'm wrong too but I think it'll be like that. Which I'm fine with. The N5 is still a BEAST of phone, and with Kit Kat lowering the needed specs for it to run on a phone and L being as light weight, I believe there is no need for newer hardware for a great L experience on an N5. Sure we can use a better camera and some better chips, but is it really needed? I use my camera to shoot and my PC to do any intensive work.

I hope I'm wrong, but I'm leaning towards this.
[Nexus 6  General] Kushblow:
So the Motorola submitted to FCC is just a prototype?

How high are you?

There's been too many leaks of even photos of the N6, i think one even had "Nexus" in the descriptor in the settings page. The N6 will arrive in the next few weeks or month.
[Nexus 6  General] jayRokk:
Leaks and pictures yes. Specific items that say its the next nexus 6, No
[Nexus 6  General] Batfink33:
It was the same with the N5. There was nothing until the day before it actually launched (except the guy holding one in the KitKat naming video a few weeks before).
[Nexus 6  General] galaxys:
Probably arrive Halloween! Trick or Treat? :D
[Nexus 6  General] jayRokk:
Exactly. No one knew anything about the N5 and had all kinds of mock ups, designs and FCC docs until Google 'leaked' it on the video.

Its the same with this years Nexus. No one knows.

[Nexus 6  General] faiil:
My Nexus 4 broke yesterday. I don't want to get anything bigger than 5", should I buy the nexus 5 or hope that 6 will be smaller than rumours say?
[Nexus 6  General] jayRokk:
Wait till its officially announced. You don't want to invest in something with another phone around the corner, that might (and I say that with doubt) have a similar price range. Hold it out if you can but if you absolutely need a phone, the nexus 5 is still a hell of a beast phone.
[Nexus 6  General] LNJ:
Release it already. I don't care what size it is. This HTC One M8 is just not doing it for me!

Where is the release date? Any leaks? Come on Google.
[Nexus 6  General] El Daddy:
Tomorrow.
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
There is higher confidence in the HTC Nexus tablet launch (as accessories and FCC indicators match) which probably is the October 16th event. There is less credible Nexus 6 leaks mean it might be the same October 16th event or later....

Note the Tegra chip in the HTC Nexus is 64bit so that fits neatly with Android L which is approaching launch. Available of the tablet with Android L is some date later say November. The yet-another-32bit phone launch is in comparison a small side-note. The 64bit phone next year may be more important, by then, combining all hardware and software, you're talking a 2-day-battery-life 64bit 5" phone is possible.

[Nexus 6  General] gregorvu:
Important question.

If nexus 6 will have 6" screen and you will not buy it because the screen is too big...

Which phone will you buy instead, arround 5" screen, good quality, good specifications, pure android, price not too high?

Does such phone exist?

For me 6" screen is no go, much to big. I'm looking for alternative, bye bye nexus :crying:

Thank you.

KInd regards
[Nexus 6  General] msal:
After reconsidering the last couple of days, I've honestly come around and decided that the large screen won't be so bad. My reasoning? Bigger really is better. Everytime I use a large device for a couple of days and I go back to smaller device, the difference is eye-opening and I almost always prefer the larger screen.

Also, Motorola managed to fit a nearly 6inch display into a body that is roughly the same size as the Note 4. I don't know about you guys, but that's amazing. Not to mention I am in desperate need of a phone lol.

The issue on my mind at the moment is the whole 32-bit vs 64-bit. If the Nexus 6 won't take advantage of Android L's 64-bit compatibility, do you guys think this phone will be obsolete within a year?

I'm also wondering the answer to this question. I feel like the Nexus 5 would be your best bet. The LG G3, despite having a 5.5 inch display, is pretty compact and would be other recommendation.
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
My only issue with the 64 bit thing would be if phones with the 810 came out the very next month. Other than that there is no issue, do people think Android will stop all manufacturers from using 32 bit architecture at all in the next 2 years? How would your phone be obsolete exactly?
[Nexus 6  General] msal:
I guess using the word obsolete was wrong. I figured if 64-bit becomes relevant in the next year, phones that can take advantage of it are going to have numerous benefits which would be missing from 32-bit phones. My biggest concern with all of this is battery life. Hopefully the Nexus 6 along with Android L take significant advantage of that 3?00 mAh battery.
[Nexus 6  General] Primokorn:
I don't want a new device which has the same dimensions as the Note 4. They can increase the screen size, not the dimensions.

If the new Nexus is too big I'll probably wait for the new OnePlus. Cyanogen guarantees an official support for 2 years.
[Nexus 6  General] Wutang200:
I don't even think my pockets are big enough to fit a Galaxy Note sized phone lol. If it did, it would look really silly and bulky from the outside and downright weird from it being in my pocket.
[Nexus 6  General] raze599:
I was thinking the same thing. I have a Nexus 4 so I need to replace it this year. I will still wait to see if the Nexus 6 has anything major thats good about it but if its just an oversized weird looking Moto X like the rumours say then I probably won't get it. I've decided on a Moto X if the Nexus 6 is no good.

Motorola has the bootloader unlocking code type system so unlocking and rooting is probably not possible on it due to warranty issues but nowadays I've not actually found myself using any root functionality. Everything I need is now in stock Android. What about you?
[Nexus 6  General] thegtfusion:
From what I have seen in the leaked images:

-screen is way too big, its like a phablet

-design is horrible (nexus 5 looks 1000x better)

however the specs are great.. but the two points above will keep me from buying it. I will stay with N5 until htc m9 comes.. or Z4 (hopefully)
[Nexus 6  General] monkor:
Eh, if it's six inches, it's a no buy for me. This device is already pushing the upper limits of what I want (currently have a Note 3). Pure Android on a device that size is useless. The Note is optimized, the Nexus will just be unwieldy. Never thought I'd say that...

[Nexus 6  General] WaxLarry:
I don't think we'll see a new nexus this year, for google doesn't make sense. Release a new nexus now means two things: first, google will lost the possibility to announce to the world the release of the first 64 bit android phone. Second, if a new nexus came out now with a 32 bit processor in a couple of months will be "obsolete" compared to the new top devices of the other companies.
[Nexus 6  General] Audioboxer:

[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
That is what been saying but I get "its happening get over it" replies. So best I can do is simply not buy it and enjoy the N5 used prices drop. Logic says if the N6 is happening then it precedes a 5" revision out next year so they move to two Nexus phones. Heck given many here will simply buy the N6 because it is rumored to exist will then also buy the next N5 so own both and Google sold double.

Google reserves the right to be dumb and I reserve the right to be not.

---------- Post added at 07:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 AM ----------

Nexus loss is CyanogenMod gain.

I sold my Nexus 7 for Gpad 8.3 and blasted the ROM immediately and been (apart from size) getting stable performance on OnePlusOne. My Nexus 10 is on Thunderkat. So I'm not running Google's stock on anything.

The closest to stock is the N5 I cascaded down to my wife but even that has replaced kernel dalvik bionic camera.

My interest in Nexus has always been spec for price. The latest stock Android is overrated.
[Nexus 6  General] dazed1:
So according to the recent news, there will be no Nexus 6? this is so disappointing! i just sold my G2 cause of the nexus 6, and now this...
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
LOL who said there wouldn't be a Nexus 6?
[Nexus 6  General] mobbarley:
I'll buy a 5.9 inch screen if they can fit it in a body that isn't much larger. If they can get the overall dimensions down to ~6.2 that might work. OnePlus is 5.5 inches in a 6 inch body and that phone is working fine for me
[Nexus 6  General] dazed1:
Тhe phone leaked was not Nexus 6, it was Motorola Druid. There is not a single Android insider or someone closed to them, who said anything about the Nexus 6 release, only for the Nexus 9, and Android L....(for the event on the 16)
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
That was only a FCC submission, FCC submissions happen for every phone.

Just because this particular one was for a different phone, doesn't mean the Nexus isn't coming.

The Nexus 6 is still coming.
[Nexus 6  General] md1008:
What I am hoping for is that the release of this Nexus will put to rest is this phone named after it's size or it's generation. If they release nexus 6 and it is 6 inches it still could be named after the generation. If they release a 5 inch screen and its a nexus 5(2014/2015) then for me it's confirmation that Google does name it after

It's size. Google has been pretty inconsistent with its naming scheme. HTC was "one" not "1" and later find out that HTC has a fetish for "one" as we see the m7 and m8. Samsung was blatantly named after their own series (Nexus s and galaxy) LG they named it 4&5. My opinion is that Google allows much say to the OEMs about the name of the nexus(after all they don't have much say in anything else so why not allow them the freedom to at least partially name the Nexus.)
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
Its never been named after screen size.

Nexus One never had a 1" screen (this was wayyyy before HTCs One branding)

Nexus 4 was 4.7"

Nexus 5 was 4.95"

Nexus 6 will be 5.92"
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
Google have only stated that Android L is coming last quarter of this year so that's anywhere upto Christmas, but usually trying to catch Cyber Monday they would be wise to release end-October / mid-November latest.

FCC and accessories and Nvidia information indicate a HTC Nexus 4:3 9" tablet is happening and it would be logical it would be Android L which place it also in next weeks.

There is NO evidence of a new Nexus phone. There are unnamed sources "we have seen" and "we have confidence" statements on a 5.9" new Nexus phone soon. Any claimed photos do not show any Google (prototype) or Nexus logo only claims it is Nexus. That does not mean there is no soon Nexus 6, jut means must be realistic in any decisions you make.
[Nexus 6  General] DigitalUnderground:
Omg this again...
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
Shamu has been seen running a new 3.10 google built kernel.

In the entire Nexus history, only a Nexus has been seen to be running an unreleased google built kernel.

This is the only evidence you need!

The rest of the leaks just validate it further.

Android Police have actual images of the device, just haven't shared them - they've simply created a mockup from those images instead to protect the leaker

& Jerry Hildenbrand has seen it, has even seen his source holding the device & confirms its 5.9"

Its shown up on bestbuy & also in Europe.

Other than an actual image of the device saying 'Nexus', what is missing?
[Nexus 6  General] wulsic:
[MENTION=4880617]DigitalUnderground[/MENTION] I see your pain ;p.

What I think about the nexus6 is that its huge if it really has a 5.9 inch screen, I mean they can't go much higher anymore else its just the nexus tablet instead of phablet.

I wonder how many people will buy the huge N6 and or that the future will only contain huge phones 5.5~6.0 inch. [MENTION=2991541]chrisjcks[/MENTION] why do you think its exactly gonna be 5.92 inches? I think that we must just wait for it to seewhat google will bring us. Its probably going to be released this month or beginning next month so just wait and grab some popcorn or what xd.
[Nexus 6  General] jasonleb1:

[Nexus 6  General] donnyp1:
I'm buying it as long as its nexus 5 size or larger. If its too big, I have T-Mobile jump in 6 more months. All being said, I had a note 2 at one time, I have no problem with a big phone, especially if the battery is large
[Nexus 6  General] mchlbenner:
I would not buy this n6 its just to big 5 inches is big enough.

How much is this thing going to be my guess would be $700+
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
Amongst Android fans:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...-9-is-the-nexus-6-going-to-be-too-big-to-buy/

At time of writing it is

- 34% not buying it

- 36% buying it

- 30% undecided

For a new flagship product to have only 1:3 for it is confirming the WTF are you thinking Google conclusion. The pricing will be crucial.

From my experience trying to get people to buy a OnePlusOne 5.5", >90% were against its size, from the wider non-Android-fans community, despite a $360 delivered total price.

1:3 amongst Android fans will show it will be bought just not as popular relatively to the N5. Apple show with iphone 6+ there is a market.

Hopefully there's a N5 revision announcement so a dual-handset like the other main manufacturers.
[Nexus 6  General] Batfink33:
No doubt its coming, it'll be announced a day or week before its release. This year is no different in terms of announcements to every other Nexus launch.
[Nexus 6  General] anthonyg45157:
I'm very confident we will see a nexus device this year. With what I've gathered (stuff mentioned 100+ times in this thread alone) so far I believe the 2 pictures of the phone are the best evidence. The volume buttons being positioned towards the center of the phone are a big give away and running android L(I can't see google letting moto be the first to release a phone with android L). Also that unlreased google kernal helps add fuel to nexus fire. Although it could be just a "moto phablet" which is possible. I believe moto will release a "droid" phablet for Verizon and that same phone will be a nexus branded device for other carriers. Would be a huge let down BUT I'm ready and willing to leave Verizon if this is the case. If verizon drops a nexus device I'll probably stay with them

The choice is yours Verizon.
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
The same Jerry Hildenbrand who says he's seen evidence for it, also says to not buy it as will be the last 32bit old ARM architecture and future Android L features will be 64bit only so you'll be buying a turkey, and he hopes a revision to N5, such as using 808 next year, will be released, as indeed it has to be reference phone for Android L 64bit.

[Nexus 6  General] iliass01:
Buy a nexus 5 or Oneplus one? Haha best phones out there with great roms & features
[Nexus 6  General] Batfink33:
I tend to buy a new phone every 3-4 months so its no big deal to me personally. This past year I've had the N5,M8,G3 and currently on the Z2. It'll be nice to get back to flashing Roms and kernels regularly and a pure Nexus phone.
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
The N5 has been stubbornly high used price about $330, which I found baffling as new was out there for $379 (I got new $385 in May), but recently, possibly related to the N6 rumors, and obviously it drops progressively over time with age, it is now selling $270 mint, I saw two sell for $270 and I bought one for $280. I expect price to continue to drop. If the N6 is real and happens then expect those N6 buyers to dump N5 to help further drop used prices.

An older N5 may benefit from a battery replacement which is typically $20-$30 and guides to replace out there. e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlmKLfgUtBQ
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
Well that's fine, every phone has its buyer, and many (the minority) will enjoy and benefit.

For the rest, the concern is if the phone is less popular, it will be that bit less supported by all the kernel and ROMS and so not be as optimised during your ownership and die faster.

My most recent Android was Gpad 8.3 V500. I have a range of ROMs and kernels to choose from, currently alternating between CM/Madhi and using RedKernel. From the supplied stock I've tweaked performance up by 30%

My only active Nexus currently is Nexus 10, it was not popular new and very slow restricted activity in the XDA forums relative say Nexus 5. e.g. last Franco Kernel is v17 from over 6 months ago.

So its not the name Nexus that actually matters, it is price, quantity of sales in developers and users who pull developers which matter. So, regardless what any individual thinks, the mass view still impacts everyone.

Compare a year ago on the N5

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/11/03/weekend-poll-did-you-were-you-able-to-buy-a-nexus-5/

Those either not-sure or against the N5 was 25%, vs the newer poll

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...-9-is-the-nexus-6-going-to-be-too-big-to-buy/

Those either not-sure or against the N6 is 64%.

So the for the N5 was 75%, the for the N6 is 36%.

From this I concluded either:

Google is stupid

or the rumors are not true or

the strategy is two handsets and as bigger is an easier engineering problem (heat, battery) the N6 is first followed by N5 revision later, two handsets. I'm going with the option as most likely
[Nexus 6  General] JassyNL:
Maybe they will make an updated nexus 5 for those that not want a big phone like the nexus 6? Only a possible option since apple also has two sizes now..

When is the release event, if there is any?
[Nexus 6  General] LNJ:
Lol why are you guys assuming people won't buy it? Of course the devs will buy it. Easy bootloader unlock, rooting and custom recovery without voiding warranty!

On the downside, Nexus hardware also attract bad copy/paste developers because it's almost a no-brainer to develop for!
