i would like something like:

aluminium body.

4,7" screen.

front-facing stereo speakers (as the htc one).

same camera but a GOOD camera application.

better battery (3500mAh).

5.5'' fhd screen and iPhone 6 rumoured camera : http://www.sonyalpharumors.com/rumo...feature-new-sonys-exmor-imx220-camera-sensor/
[Nexus 6  General] Vortex1969:
OK guys I own the sexy Nexus 4 and 5 and now the One Plus with a 5.5in. screen. All this talk about screen size. For me I love the bigger screen of my One. Why have a smart phones that we all use apps like tapatalk that we read xda with and games that are really cool but much better on a bigger screen.

Yes the One fits just fine in my pocket and I can use it with one hand after a week.

So when viewing these things do you want a small screen or a screen that you can be a little more immersed in.

Just my 2cents not that I don't still love my 5.

---------- Post added at 06:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:03 PM ----------

I have a 70in 4k TV and I can tell you to see the all the detail you have to set about 6ft away and we are at 13ft and even though it looks great your eyes loose detail. In a small screen to have a 2k display is just marketing high res only matters with 70in and above.

[Nexus 6  General] mikeius89:
In just waiting to see if it happens lol more like ill just buy it if it comes out for flashing fun. Until then ill enjoy the n5 and m8
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
The comment at the top nails it correctly.

October 30th is my guess which is plenty for Android L to bake.

I also guess given Android L we'll see the Nexus 9 too on the same date.
[Nexus 6  General] XdrummerXboy:
So are they not reliable with leaks and such?
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
Wait for Google to speak. Til then none is true.
[Nexus 6  General] XdrummerXboy:
Yes, very true. But this thread is entitled "what do you think", not "what do we know" :p haha
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
Well I think everything is guessing until Google speaks.

I'd take FCC posting as a heavy hint. E.g. this from Sept 6th last year which was the N5.

http://9to5google.com/2013/09/06/fc...-nexus-5-is-made-by-lg-with-impressive-specs/

That lack of reference means just a guess and ooh look at those advertisements to the side you just earned someone for making up stuff.
[Nexus 6  General] nils.pap:
I think they might go with an announcement this year, since they'd be releasing the Nexus 6 (X?), the nexus tablet and Android L all at the same time.
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
I agree. Android L is determining the product release schedule of around end-October.

No FCC data right now for the phone so its can't be much earlier than the N5.

Android L then determines what specification to hit the price point.
[Nexus 6  General] Langduscher:
This article is in Dutch, but refers to a price of $ 500 & € 420

http://www.mobilecowboys.nl/mobilerumours/19333

For that price I really hope it will have a 5.5"+ screen!
[Nexus 6  General] adichandra:
Please dont make it more than 5". It's already too big for one hand use. And please stay on the 1080p screen so it's going to have a great battery life.

[Nexus 6  General] bradputt:
Oh god, it's so expensive!
[Nexus 6  General] doctor_droid:
$500 for a nexus? :eek: nexus 5 ftw...
[Nexus 6  General] tom1807:
My guess, the price will be increased by USD 50.00 compared to the N5.

The Indian price is not really an indication, in India the N5 was around 150 USD higher than US
[Nexus 6  General] doctor_droid:
Agree....

Bt i guess price rise will be around $100 not $50
[Nexus 6  General] XdrummerXboy:
I agree. Best buy had it up for 500 I think, but they said best buy tends to increase the price of the nexus line by $100 over what the Google Play Store is selling them at. I still think it's gonna be about $400, which goes with what you're saying.
[Nexus 6  General] fkloznica:
I think it will be 350/400$(or in Europe 350/400€) just like the n5

I am just afraid that they will put a bad battery whit 2k display..
[Nexus 6  General] krabman:
I assume you have all now read the rumor that there may be two devices, a "compact" and "full" size Nexus X. Good news there as I know I don't want another big phone, I've found my limit and it resides around the 5" inch mark. I'm just worried now that the "compact" version might have watered down specs although I've read nothing of the sort, just a passing hope they don't screw it up thought. Assuming of course that this latest rumor is true.
[Nexus 6  General] Langduscher:
Uhh no I haven't. Source?
[Nexus 6  General] StrizzMatik:
Benchmarks, rumors and leaks have been describing both 5.2" and 5.9" screen sizes under the Motorola Shamu codename, so there's some credibility to the rumor.
[Nexus 6  General] fkloznica:
Like the rumor about n5 and two versions 2300mah and 3000mah.. BS all the way..

Edit

[Nexus 6  General] nemonius:
This is getting funny. They are defending rumored screen size of rumored Nexus x. Chillout and wait for facts.
[Nexus 6  General] XdrummerXboy:
A few places did the math with resolution and dpi, and it comes out to about 4.6" even though it says 5.2" and 5.9", so I think any screen size is still fair game...
[Nexus 6  General] krabman:
That is old news fkloznica, it is phonearena itself that is now reporting the rumor about it being a two phone release which should also answer the fellow that quoted me above. You do bring up a good example of possible nerfing though, I would like more than the 2300mah batt for sure and I think most would agree with that desire but if both are showing up in benchmarks and there are two devices it would seem that one would find its way into the compact and not large. Again assuming the rumors are true...
[Nexus 6  General] hutzdani:
Nexus 6 / X / Whatever. . . . Hummmm

Of all the information we have so far, I'm edging my bets on a 5.2" device, a 5.9" inch devices seems unlikley as its eating into the Nexus 7 market and not far of a Phone.

Remember the Nexus series has always been a benchmark set by google for a midhigh/highend handset for the next version of Android, if the HTC tablet rumors are true why would Google even consider a 5.9" its eating into their other product market !

I have been a nexus user since the N1 landed, and it still has never delivered on the basic wants of nexus users, unless google can address this by :

1. Fixing the Battery - AKA MAKE IT BIGGER & INCLUDE BATTERY SAVING OPTIONS IN THE OS

2. Including suitable storage options - 32/64 Variants or include a SD card slot ( preferably increase on board storage, they pay very little for these wholesale and they barly increase in size vs storage space )

3. A DECENT CAMERA ! ( since the Nesus S, i have been waiting for google to catch up with everyone else, and they still don't have it right )

4. Realize that ramming a Better / Brighter & Denser /Faster versions of GPU / SCREEN / CPU does not make a better phone to use day to day !

If the next incarnation of the Nexus does not achieve this whats the point now ? there are some better suited handsets already on the market that do this not pointing to the G3 or even the G2 thats still better than the Nexus 5.

For me from what rumors have said i'd like to see :

5.2" 1080p screen

Snapdragon 801 or 805 SoC ( Rather the 801 option )

3000Mha Battery

10/13mp Camera with OIS

WIFI / NFC / Qi / BT4.0 LE / LTE ( 4G )

32 & 64 GB storage options

Notification Light

Touch less Control ( a'La Moto X )

If something similar is not the outcome i'd definatly not be interested in it.

I love my Nexus 5 & 7 but i wont fork out extra cash for gimmicks or the same old pitfalls
[Nexus 6  General] krabman:
I'll tell you one thing I'd like to have from the N1, that would be the trackball. Loved that thing. Loved that it made it easy to do fine editing, loved that it brought the notifications out in 3D as it were. Yep, if I was going to name one bit of yestertech in the Nexus series I missed that would be the one. Hutzdani I'm assuming you are aware the current rumor has many of the specs you are asking for. Of those that are not mentioned as rumor the 805 has native support for screen input at low power (screen off) we should have some hope of getting ttw and such leveraging that support. Not saying it will happen but it seems like the door is open. If there has been anything on the notifications I've missed it but I'm hoping for an RGB obviously and I cant imagine it not getting one.
[Nexus 6  General] 350Rocket:
I owned a nexus one for about 9 months (it was already over 3 years old when I got it) have to agree. The trackball was awesome.

My current beater work phone is my friend's old HTC desire. It has a good working optical trackpad that I also use to wake the phone but it doesn't have the good led built in.
[Nexus 6  General] PJcastaldo:
Has it been said somewhere that they aren't using the name Nexus 6? Verizon used the name Droid even though Lucus Films owned it.
[Nexus 6  General] bradputt:
it's widely reported it's called nexus X instead.

http://bgr.com/2014/08/26/nexus-x-android-5-0-l/
[Nexus 6  General] ortori:
is there a chance that the nexus x will be unveiled in the motorola event in Chicago?
[Nexus 6  General] Elluel:
No
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
And this is why I still feel the Moto X is the best phone currently available. Even though it's starting to show its age, it is still hands down the easiest phone I've ever had to live with.

We've definitely reached the point of diminishing returns when it comes to sheer specs.
[Nexus 6  General] XdrummerXboy:
Processor yeah, screen definitely, but GPU seems to be the bottleneck for phones and computers.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
Agreed, but if manufacturers didn't feel the need to move to QHD, the current crop of GPUs would be more than sufficient. The Moto X has a 720p screen, which on a 4.7" display is just fine, and the Adreno 320 GPU in it can handle pretty much anything you throw at it because it doesn't have to push an exorbitant number of pixels. IMO, there is absolutely no valid reason to move beyond 1080p on a smartphone.
[Nexus 6  General] XdrummerXboy:
I agree for the most part. Depends what kind of display though. my GS3 is 720p 4.8 in but its pentile, and I definitely notice gaps between pixels. Its not horrible, but its definitely there.

And of we want developers to come out with better games and such (definitely depends on the person) the gpu must keep up. I hope after 1440p becomes the standard they'll stop after that, at least for a while, and focus on battery life and smoothness.

Anything over 1080p is a Tad overkill, but I haven't used any so I don't know at what point you can or can't tell.
[Nexus 6  General] TiltedAz:
Yep, that's the motox talking point mantra. I didn't buy it then and I still don't. There's never been an availability issue with buying cheaper, less capable smartphones.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
Yeah, I don't even consider pentile to be a viable technology so when I say 720p, I'm referring to RGB. I've only ever owned one pentile phone (GNex) and I will never own one again. Are the current crop of Sammys still using pentile? I'd imagine on a 1080p display it's not *as* offensive.

With 1080p it's nigh impossible to discern pixels, so anything beyond is just a marketing ploy to me. All increasing the resolution does is tax the hardware that much more, and to me, it's completely unnecessary.

I was skeptical at first but once I got my Moto X, I drank the kool aid. It can do everything the N5 can do, and then some. And the N5 is only marginally quicker, and only noticeable when side by side with the Moto X. There is nothing about it that is "less capable". It's all about the optimization, and what they do with the specs they have. The iPhone is a prime example of that. Love them or hate them, but there is no denying that they are beastly performers, without having the greatest specs.
[Nexus 6  General] XdrummerXboy:
Im honestly not sure. I *think* theyre using a diamond matrix, which makes it a little harder to tell. That may have been a different brand though, I dont remember...
[Nexus 6  General] Jonnyredcorn:
To this post and others I gotta say that while the Moto X performs better than every phone out there the Nexus 5 still outperforms it quite a bit, especially while multitasking. Also, using fauxs kernel and being able to use display profiles makes the Nexus 5 screen one of the best out there...the Galaxy S5 has probably the nicest looking. Its 1080p like the gs4 but I can notice a significant difference in color and brightness. 720 RGB just wouldn't cut it for me.

As for screens like the UHD on the LG G3(which I owned for nearly 13 days) it is a sight to behold... Granted its near impossible to see outside which makes it useless IMO as one of the first phones to use that high of a res it does look good(also remember the G3 has a larger screen). However when side by side with my Nexus 5 or LG G2(which IMO is equal to the GS5 in quality if not slightly better, it depends if you like AMOLED or LCD they are two of the best) you cannot really tell the difference unless you are playing one of the two preloaded videos on the G3. Apps are not all compatible with UHD screens yet which made several apps I use worthless, I'm sure once devs catch up though there won't be an issue.

Having said all that I feel 1080p is perfectly fine for ~5" screens and making that 1080p look as good as possible should be the priority.

My ideal Nexus X would contain:

1080p ~5" screen(With the ability for kernel devs to allow adjustments)

Snapdragon 805

3GB RAM

A quality 13MP shooter with OIS and decent flash

2.1MP Front cam would be fine

I would LOVE good front facing speakers

I would also be willing to pay an extra ~$30-$50 for those nicer speakers. I think the Nexus 5 8mp shooter is nice especially since Google release the new Google Camera app in the play store, just would like it to be a bit quicker and I doubt they would include anything less than 13MP on the next device.
[Nexus 6  General] SolarTrans:
Love the 2k screen on my G3. Kinda hard to go back to 1080p on my M8. I can live with it, although I do miss all the pixels.

It's kind of like this: on the M8, I can definitely tell I'm looking at a screen. On the G3, it's so dense that it doesn't even seem like a screen anymore.

But is it necessary?

Let's just say that it makes enough of a difference to the point where I'd be hesitant to buy a phone without it.
[Nexus 6  General] DigitalUnderground:
I have 3 moto x's in my household... And my N5. It's really not that close. N5 screen is better... The MX freezes up at times when operating the camera, the N5 size is better (for me)... It's a great device IMO... And i do LOVE it's feel in my hand... But the n5 is superior to every phone (except it's speaker and camera...) Just my opinion. Specs are almost meaningless nowadays.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
Everybody's experience is different. I've had my Moto X since release day and have yet to have any freezes, or anything like that. Heck, I can't even recall a single force close besides the XDA app before it was updated. Yes the N5 is a little faster, but I think the overall UX on the Moto X just destroys everything else. And that's because it is more than the sum of its parts. Back in the day, the power of the SOC in the phone is what made or broke it, but nowadays all of them are so damn fast that it takes much more than an incrementally more powerful chip to produce a better experience. I guess that's the point I was trying to make.
[Nexus 6  General] Renosh:
Everyone's experience is different but you forget that you are personally biased towards the Moto X. It's fast enough but I'm sure its not as great as the Nexus 5. Not to mention S800 is not an incrementally faster chip than the S4 Pro in the Moto X, its a lot faster. I will agree on one thing, I'm sure the overall user experience on the Moto X will be better with the additional features it has over the N5
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
I have no biases at all. I own both a Moto X and a Nexus 5, and am actually using the N5 as my primary device. Right now I prefer the N5 due to the size of the screen, and because it's new and shiny. But when I pick up the Moto X, the thought "man this is so slow compared to the N5" never crosses my mind, because it's not. And going back to the N5 after using the Moto X for a day doesn't feel like I am holding a faster phone. Side by side the N5 is not "a lot faster" than the Moto X, it's barely faster. So yes, I agree that it is ever so slightly faster in certain things, but that doesn't translate to any majorly noticeable real world gain. The experience with the Moto X is better, slower SOC notwithstanding. So IMO, my point stands that a super chip does not a super phone make. ;)

Get a new tv and control it via wifi :cool: I don't remember any recent smartphone with infrared
[Nexus 6  General] XdrummerXboy:
Hmm.. is that the new trend phasing out infrared in phones?
[Nexus 6  General] californicated:
Well, I've googled and it seems infrared is a used as a "special" feature in some smartphones like the lg flex, g2 and gs4. Funny as it was pretty standard years ago

My iPhone 5 does not have infrared.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
Where did you buy yours from? My iPhone certainly has IR. Pretty sure Apple invented it.
[Nexus 6  General] thacounty:
Can't tell if sarcastic or actually has IR. I have one for work that does not have any IR capabilities that I know of. I sense the sarcasm of the last sentence obviously.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
Yeah it was sarcasm ;) Apple won't put IR (or any feature) in their phones until it becomes ubiquitous, and then most Apple fans will claim that Apple invented it, did it better, made it relevant, etc...

http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/5466...-release-date-specs-features.htm#.Uz9F2MvD8m8
[Nexus 6  General] inconceeeivable:
I think they can't go wrong with a better battery, slightly thinner build, and larger screen. Comparable specs to the other high end devices at the time otherwise.

This screen is a bit cramped for a former Note user. Especially with the buttons taking up so much screen space.
[Nexus 6  General] NotFromMountainView:
I'd settle for lunch.

And I want to see them implement negative bezel technology so that screen size can increase dramatically with a reduction of the phone's physical dimensions.
[Nexus 6  General] eddie3130:
If there smart they should only figure out how to add a battery atleast 3000mah in size an maybe even less bezel. Keep the same hardware. Just do software tweaks to the camera an other issues.That way itl be lower build cost since its last years hardware an so they can even lower the price down more for the consumers. Im down to pay $350 for essentialy un updated Nexus 5 with 3000mah battery maybe an ir blaster too would make it the ultimate phone out
[Nexus 6  General] DigitalUnderground:
http://www.techtimes.com/articles/...d-off-htc-one-m8-to-compete-with-iphone-6.htm
[Nexus 6  General] GzC:
From my point of view, it will most probably come with these specs:

Quad Core Snapdragon s805 SoC

Adreno 420 GPU

Android 4.5/5.0

2/3GB of RAM

5.0-5.5 inches Full/Quad HD screen

2500-3000MaH battery

8/13 MP Camera

Nothing too fancy here. Nexus phone's tradition is always based on a flagship smartphone from Google selected manufacturer with some features cut-off.

That's almost as bad as Ibtimes. Google has confirmed a few weeks ago that LG is making the new Nexus.
[Nexus 6  General] DigitalUnderground:
I hate the sources google now gives me
[Nexus 6  General] krabman:
To be honest I don't want a bigger screen, I've already tried a note and I went back to a smaller screen. I don't think I'm alone either because I know many people in the real world who simply don't find the tradeoff for the bigger screen worth it any more. I'm also not that interested in specmanship. I was happy with the performance of my phone back when I had my S2. IMO too much time is spent on trying to get owners to spin in a certain software orbit and not enough making the phones better. Not just google, all of them. Now its all about locking owners in rather than selling better phones that get work done. The N5 is nothing but a whore google is pimping until you get rid of all the crap which tries harder and harder and harder and harder to lock you in to giving every detail of your life to google so they can sell you. This was always true but what has changed is that now it is to the detriment of the owner rather than being a win win.

I've had enough. If someone comes out with a decent truly open operating system which android is not and getting further from every day I'm all over it. IMO the N6 will just up the ante and if history repeats itself be more locked down and with more basic software brought into google apps. I'm done with it the second someone gives me an alternative that doesn't suck even worse like apple.
[Nexus 6  General] FuMMoD:
LOL I think google is trying to troll us really. Those 2 sites are terrible. Check out the comments on the articles, they're funny.
